Cushing was laid to rest Friday and his friends mourned his passing, even as they realized that his spirit had gone to the Valhalla which all good newspapermen eventually will know. A eulogy had been pronounced over his bier by his pastor and fraternal brothers of the Masonic lodge, but it is doubtful if it will live in memory vs long as the newspaper folk of Western North Dakota will treasure their recollections of this well-loved veteran. For Cushing had, in addition to a clear and penetrating mind, a warm heart and a valiant spirit. Through- out his long and active life he lived with @ zest which is granted to few men. He had his full share of grief and heartaches, but to his friends he slways presented a smiling face and his laugh was always genuine. In his profession he was a leader ‘by virtue of his merit. A gentleman of the old school, he kept the fires of integrity burning when the tempta- tion to prostitute his views was #trong. Honest in the presentation of news, he was fearless in his con- victions, willing and able to express them. A fair fighter, he was a vig- orous one when the question involved was that of right and wrong. His tolerance granted to everyone the right to hold his personal views but he never compromised with evil. As he grew older, his spirit of char- ity flamed brighter. He had seen| much and had come to the conclu- éion that a good many of our strug- gles are mere futilities. He had reached a realization that time cures all ills, even those of the flesh, and that only the spirit is important. Thus, with the portent of death upon him, he still was serene. He had run his race and it was a task well done. He could face the future un- afraid, just as he had from the be- ginning. He would not have his friends mourn for him, for he knew that someday he would meet them ‘on that happier plane where the news is always fresh and front pages breathe sweetness and light rather than misery and corruption. Western North Dakota will miss him, for he was a constructive force, but if the state is lucky his spirit will live on in the breasts of younger | men who will take up the torch as he laid it down and keep it burning} brightly until they, too, are called by the Supreme Editor. It is good to have had such a man} among us. His example will live as an inspiration to all who knew him. Progress in Canada { One of the best augurs for contin- ued economic improvement in this country is contained in curre@ sta- tistics compiled by the Canadian government to show the manner in which our northern neighbors are re- covering from the depression. Of 94 significant factors in the commercial situation there only nine show @ de- cline, the others registering hand- some increases. In 1934 government bond prices reached the highest point since the ‘war; commodity prices rose seven per cent; farm products were up 15.4 per | &- cent, average stock prices showed a gain of 32 per cent; employment con- and the physical volume of goods moved advanced 19.3 per cent. Con- struction contracts were up 34.4 per reached an all-time peak at 20.5 per cent above 1933. Railway freight movement increased 15 per cent, ex- ports 23 per cent and imports 29.7 00 |mary highways in 1934, the average | i [ been scoring gains and these are bol- istered by conditions across our northern border. It is much easier to swim with the tide than against it. ‘We certainly have cause to rejoice that our Canadian cousins are doing well. Self Liquidating Roads? Investigations made by the fed- eral government in Indiana led to lthe claim that paved roads are self- liquidating improvements, lowered upkeep costs and more extensive use more than making up for the in- creased investment. Thus on the Hoosier state's pri- traffic of 1,727 cars per mile a day ~ earned an average of $2,410 a mile in motor taxes or nine times the av- erage upkeep cost of $286 a mile. The secondary system carried an average of 745 cars per mile daily and recorded an income of $1,040 per year. The average cost of upkeep was $486 per mile. The manner in which the govern- ment experts allocated the taxes col- lected per car is unknown but it seems doubtful that any road can be called self-liquidating. Our ex- perience, of course, is in a less popu- lous area and only a few of our roads jcarry as many vehicles per day as the {so-called secondary system in Indi- ana, but the taxes collected here from sutomobiles, even if devoted exclusive ly to highways, would not care for construction and upkeep costs, to say nothing of paying interest on the in- vestment. In view of our own experience and that of other states it does seem the Part of economy to surface our most- used highways but there should be no illusion that they will be self- liquidating. Roads offer a necessary service but taxes will have to be much higher than they are now before the cost will fall exclusively upon the ve- hicles which use them.
