This is true equally in the case of roads as of buildings. In both types of construction man has been very largely displaced by machinery. Dredges, steamshovels, draglines, tractors, ditchers, graders, excavators and other modern implements have greatly simplified construction. One of them does the work that formerly required an entire crew of laborers. Their use has cut building costs and speed- ed up this type of work. Contractors who bid on public works base their estimates on the savings thus effected. They bid close since competition is keen, but they figure on making profits through labor-saving machinery. Thus the many hundreds of millions of dollars that national, State, County and Municipal authori- lege maintained at Tuskegee, Ala., for Negroes.

The tele- phone is a public service furnished by its authority. There is, in essence, no difference between the | sealed letter and the private telephone message.” To this should be added that sentence from Justice | Silver and Worid Trade. (New Yok World.) | Never before in the history of the world has silver been so cheap as 't is at present. Within the past week the price touched a new low point of 31% cents per ounce. The effects of this decline on the world’s trade are perhaps not fully appre- clated in the United States, where silver coins for a long time have served only as token money. But since about one-half of the people of the world | still rely upon silver as their standard of value, the consequences of this cheapening of the metal| on their buying power have been drastic and disturb- ing. Silver is now selling at about 40 per cent less than its average price during 1929. What has happened in China and India can be best understood by imagining what would happen !1n this country if the purchasing power of our gold dollar shrank within a year to 60 cents.
