If ‘Portland cement’ 1s from undue profiteering?” nown that the cement people have a perfect under- |standing among themselves, which is tantamount to having a trust organization. Past performances have revealed that the price of Portland cement is hardly on a competitive basis. Naturally, it is too much to expect that the monopolistic features will disappear in the near future. If the Carlyon bill is passed it means that Portland cement will be used as a base wherever hard-surfacing is to be done. Those who are for the bill will quibble over this statement, but it is only quibbling. In practice it is a certainty that Portland cement will be used. | There is no particular objection to Portland cement, how- ever. It is generally believed to be the most economic ma- terial. The objection is that it was inserted as part of the Carlyon bill, from which the engineers may not vary even if a better material should be discovered between now and the six years it will take to construct the roads, as estimated by the Carlyon bill adherents. | Advocates of the Carlyon bill assume that they will be able to pave 1,500 miles in six years by issuing $30,000,000 in 20-year-bonds. Interest on the bonds will be approxi- mately $12,000,000, making the cost $42,000,000. _This $42,000,000 is to be paid, according to the Carlyon bill friends, out of the motor vehicle licenses, estimated at about $3,000,000 per year. | The roads may be completed in six years—and they may not be. There are experts who say they will not be. The licenses may average $3,000,000 a year—or they may not. If they do not, the taxpayers will have to pay the remainder. The average life of roads is estimated at 20 years. By the | time the bonds are paid off, a new issue of bonds will be »| necessary to rebuild the roads. The alternative is to adopt a comprehensive plan of road building, and to build them on the “pay-as-you-go” plan. If there is $3,000,000 in the treasury, build $3,000,000 worth of roads. In addition to the motor vehicle fund, there are | various other road funds which total to about $16,000,000 a year. This $16,000,000 fund should be co-ordinated. The legislature CAN co-ordinate it. We can have the same roads the Carlyon bill plans, or even better roads, and almost as fast, without paying twice the cost. If the Carlyon bill is passed, what will be the result? The state will enter at once into a contract, or two or three contracts, for the construction of ALL the roads enumerated ‘jin the bill so as to gain the greatest speed possible. The state will, therefore, have to abide by a contract under present prices. These will prevail for six years or more. If there should be a price decline in either material or labor, the state will -_ no advantage—the contractors will. Portland cement There have been cases where the legislature passed ap- propriations to compensate contractors who lost money on roads when the war stole on them and kicked their prices into a cocked hat. But is there anyone so gullible as to believe the reverse could happen, too—that contractors who made more money than they expected by reason of a decline in price, would return the excess profits to the state? Probably the one big argument that can be used for the Carlyon bill is that the auto owners will pay the bill—and not the general taxpayers. But if that argument is good, why limit the amount to $30,000,000? Why not make it ua bonds and have twice 1,500 miles of paved road? Everybody is for good roads—but the Carlyon bill does not present that issue. Men like John E. Blaine, who have been connected with the good roads movement for years, are opposed to the Carlyon bill, not because they are against good roads, but because they are against this method of getting them. What the state needs is a comprehensive plan of road building. The legislature can pass a plan of that kind and enact it into law. And the plan can then be worked out on the “pay-as-you-go” basis. Perfect Woman Woman has been woman ever since Eve's days, So what an ol4 Spanish writer said about her centuries ago must apply to her now. Apparentiy he knew « good-looking woman when he aw one, At least he had the courage to put on paper what he thought one looked Ike. This is what he ealé: “A woman ts quite perfect and absolute in beauty if she has 20 good points.” Here are the 20 good points, that, pousesned by woman, spell both perfection and beauty; Three thing white—akin, teeth, handa. Three things bieck—eyes, brows, lashes. Three things red—tips, cheeks, nails, Three things long—bod@y, hair, hands, Three things short—teeth, ears, feet. Three things broad—chest, brow, space between eyebrows. Three things narrow—tmouth, waist, instep. Three things large—arma, loin, limba ‘Three things fine—fingers, hair, lips. Three things small—bust, nose, head. But behold! There are millions of men tn this country who wil pick that formula to pieces in about a minute.
