Figures just completed for the fiscal year of 1925 show that a billion and a half dollars were spent in that year for highAnd it is to be remembered way construction and maintenance. that since then the amount has steadily increased . Interesting fig ures were recently given out on highway expense by the National These figures show among other Industrial Conference Board . h of the nation's entire budget is expended for things that road improvement or maintenance. Twenty years ago the road the in building item budget was negligible. A million miles of highway have been constructed since 1904, and thousands of miles have been regraded and straightened . In 904 only seven per cent of the total mileage was graded and surfaced . A big change has come in the financing of road inmprovement in the past, twenty years, too. Formerly the work was paid for by the local taxing units, but the burden is being more and more shifted Of course the gasoline tax, to the state and national government. too, is now used for construction and this is collected and distributed by the state governments .

Japp nLka NEGLECT RIGHT TO VOTE Jor Economical Transportation g The habit has taken possession of the - American In rural communities the report is the same that and city1 people. the people do not care to bother to vote. Curiously enough, the country districts really show a higher voting percentage than the city sections. All sorts of bait has been offered in th hopes of luring the voter to the ballot box, but without avail. Voting booths have been paced in the cities within a half block of one another and absentee ballots have been provided so the franchise could be exercised with a fountain pen and a two-cestamp, but it has been all in vain . American government today is the result of minority rule. It is agreed that less than 40 per cent of the elegible voters mark their crosses. Is it surprising, accordingly, that municipal, village, township, county and state expenditures and, consequently, taxes are The present regime of indifference on the part of rising steadily? the voters offers a magnificent opportunity for the governmnetal bootleggers who are not only feathering their nests but putting through their own pet projects with immunity. The remedy is not in pulpit or platform address,' or even in finding as the Australians have attempted tovdo, but in letting this situation of the waste of public money through indifference reach such a point that in the end, for their own selfish protection, the citizens will again have to take an interest in what the men elected to governmental offices are doing.' non-votin- ann nt non-voter- in Chevrolet History s, The Touring $ or Roadster J For the first time, it makes possibleFositive Agitation." 2 In the ordinary cleaning time, it beats out and sweeps up an average ol 101 more dirt.
