STATES LINING UP FOR BETTER COUNTRY ROADS North Dakota Included in $283,- 000,000 Appropriated for Highway Development Of all the states voting for big bond issues for good roads building | and maintainance only two have turn- ed down their projects. Eleven states have voted a total of $283,000,000 for highway expenditures during the next few years, according to statis- tics gathered by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. Seventeen states will vote on bond issues this year and next to a total of $664,000,000, and at least a dozen} more states are contemplating bond issues. The states which have already ap- | proved their highway measures and | the amounts are: | Arizona_ $4,200,000, Arkansas $50,- 000,000, California $40,000,000, Illi- | nois $60,000,000, Maine $10,000,000, | Michigan $50,000,000, Nevada $1,000,- | 000, New Mexico $5,000,000, Oregon $10,000,000, Pennsylvania $50,000,- 000, Wyoming $2,800,000.

Quien will sues follow: Alabama $5,000,000, Colorado $5,000,000, Georgia $40,000,- 000, Kansas $60,000,000, Minnesota $100,000,000, Mississippi $20,000,- | 000, Missouri $60,000,000, Montana | $15,000,000,North ‘olina $25,000,- | 000, North Dakota $50,000,000, South | Carolina $25,000,000, Tennesse $50,000,- 000, Texas $75,000,000, Utah $4,000,- 000, Washington $30,000,000, West} Virginia $50,000,000, Wisconsin $50,- | 000,000. | The people of Minnesota, Mississippi, be executed. what the west thinks of the necessity of highways and furnishes an influ- ence which cannot be overlooked. The west has gone on record as being will- ing to stand their share of the cost of a system of nationally administered roads, and their share will be a big one. Missouri, Montana, Washington and West Virginia will vote on their bond; issues in November 1920 at the na-| tional election. A few of the states | mentioned have not actually approved | their bond measures but sentiment is | so strong it is predicted the issues will undoubtedly come up for vote. | The only states to reject bond meas- ures were Arizona and Oklahoma, for | $30,000,000 and $50,000,000 respec- | tively. In these states it is said that state finances were such that the good roads measures would have to be de- ferred at this time rather than jeop- | ardize more urgent appropriations. | If the passage of the Townsend bill | depended on the support from western | states the measure calling for a na-| tional system of highways could be- | come law by an overwhelming ma- jority. At Salt Lake City recently govern- ors of 22 states signed a petition, which will be forwarded to congress, to increase immensely the annual appropriation for road building to be expended during the next five years. While the Townsend bill asks for $425,000,000 their petition calls for a billion dollars. The western govern- ors not only indorse the bill as men, but as governors of their respective states. This action reflects plainly HOUSE BARGAINS Am offering a house of 6 rooms and bath, full basement, good heating plant, large lot, trees and garage, on paving, for $8400.

Mr. Gustafson corn ne Geor; compiles his e: that 15,000 acres were devoted to thi: crop, yielding an average of 30 bush- els to the acre worth $1.75 a bushel. The grade of the county’s corn was very high Mr. Gustafson said. The farmers here should save encugh seed corn for the next two years is Mr. Gustafson’s advice, be- cause of the high standard of the present yield and the success with which it has been grown here. The county agent believes that next year the corn acreage will be at least 18 000 acres in the county alone. At least 3,000 bushels of corn will be needed for seed in Burleigh coun- ty next year. This has been pro- bably the most successful crop raised this year, everything taken into con- sideration and farmers throughout the county have stated that they will de- vote a larger portion of their acreage to this crop than ever before. Wheat, oats and other small grains will be reduced in acreage. The corn acreage in North Dakota in 1920 is estimated to be 798,900 acres and for this crop 183,350 bushels of seed corn will be required. Phone 75, City Fuel Co., for Medora Coal.

D positers protected under State Law A Valuable Lesson When Uncle Sam told us to buy Liberty Bonds, we cheerfully responded—and thereby learned that we hadn’t saved half what we should have. We assumed our bonds as a debt that must be paid just as we paid the grocer. And it proved that saving can be achieved when you have to. Many people have carried the idea on into peace times. They now regard their bank book as something to which they owe so much every pay day. And they pay that debt as they pay the others.

MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA | ‘He proceeded to give an annalysis of | PEOPLE CONCERNED OVER TREMENDOUS DEMANDS FOR CASH Estimated: Expenditures in Ex- cess of Income by Many Millions HUMANA AAU un ‘Washington, Sept 22.—In present- ing to the house the first deficiency bill for the current fiscal year. Rep- resentative. Good, chairman of the house appropriations committee, de- picted a condition of the treasury which may well cause concern to every taxpayer. He set forth detailed figures to show that the grand total of drafts against the treasury which must be met before June 30th, of next year, was '$10,831,201,585.26, or not far from $11,000,000,000. The total revenues, he estimated at $7,239,928,- 240.00, from which he calculated the probable deficit at the end of this fiscal year would be $3,591,273,845.26, Chairman Good, in the light of this showing of an enormous deficit ahead of the country, admonished the house that it would be well to pause and give careful consideration to all proposals for additional ex- penditures. “The demands upon the treasury,” said Mr. Good, “call for an expendi- ture of money during this’fiscal year that is simply staggering. The ac- tual condition confronting the treas- ury is so alarming that we may well pause and calmly consider obliga- tions already existing and that must be met before entering on enlarged programmes which will call for ad- ditional expenditures.”- Pending before the various com- mittees' of the house, Chairman Good stated, were numerous bills providing for projects of more or less merit which if enacted into law would, add more than a billion dollars to the burdens of the government. Pointing gut that the appropria- tions for this fiscal year ending next June 30th, totaled $7,345,617,283.58, Mr. Good declared that this amount “does: not measure, by any means, the drafts to be made on the treas- ury between now and June 30th next.” the situation which brought’the grand aggregate up to the enormous figure of nearly $11,000,000,000 to which re- ference has already been made, ‘ Mr. Good forsees the necessity either of selling more long time bonds or of floating short time treasury notes or certificates. Referring to the stupnedous total which must be met by the treasury before the end of the present fiscal year Mr.~Good then considered the MMMM MMT MO TT Detroit. / UUQUUTAASTUQUUOEOEADNUAERENOUUALUAAU rey question of where the money was to come from to meet it. “BAYER CROSS” ON: genuine must be marked with the safety “Bayer.
