Authier this is the Era of Good roads building according to a report just made by the Bureau of Public roads department of agriculture. These adjuncts to transportation Are springing up everywhere. During the fiscal year 1922. 10.000 Miles of Federal Aid roads and More than an equal Miniea of highways without Federal assistance were constructed. From the View Point of Federal Aid Progress the year divides itself into two periods one before and the other after the passage of the Federal Highway act. The first period was a season of great construction activity during which the greater part of the work of completing the to too Miles was done. It was also one of almost Complete stagnation with regard to the initiation of projects. When the year opened there was an a obligated balance of $18,793,544 of the Federal Aid appropriations and the projects initiated since the beginning of the work aggregated 35,402 Miles. By the end of october 1921, the a obligated balance had been reduced to $1 1,714,328. The lowest it had been since 1918. Only two states at that time had a balance of More than $1,000,000 to draw upon for new projects and the number were so reduced that their balance was not sufficient to pay for another mile of Road. Projects take on new life just before the passage of the Federal Highway act the mileage submitted by the states had pot grown during the fiscal year but had actually diminished As a result of the withdrawal and substitution of projects. The total mileage proposed was Only 35 379 Miles As compared with 35,-4 02 Miles of four months before. Immediately upon the App Quot Oval of the act the initiation of projects took on new life and in the months of March and june reached the unprecedented total of 1.250 Miles a month. At the close of the year the submitted mileage is 39.940 Miles. 4,538 greater than at the close or the preceding fiscal year. At the close of the preceding year projects completed aggregated 7,469 hides and there were 17.978 Miles under construction which were estimated As 50 per cent Complete. In one year the completed mileage has grown to 17.716 Miles an increase of More than 10,000 Miles and there still remain under construction 14.513 Miles which Are estimated As 5 6 per cent Complete. The Federal Aid earned by the states on completed and uncompleted projects amounts to $194,560,-135 of which $166,91 1,582 have actually beep paid. The total length of projects in All stages including those which have Brett completed and those which Are in the stages preliminary to construction is 39 940 Miles. 200 Miles for each stat the roads brought to completion during the year average Over 200 Miles for Lacfi state. The Greaves increase in mileage is in Texas which has added during the year 933. Miles to its completed Highway. Arkansas Georgia. Iowa Minnesota and North Carolina each with an increase of More than 500 Miles and Montana and Wisconsin with More than 400 Miles made notable advances toward the goal of a completed Highway system. A number of smaller states such As Louisiana. Maryland Massachusetts and Rhode Island made a very substantial increase in proportion to their size. The largest payment of Federal Aid during the year also went to Texas which received from the government $5915,046 and earned nearly $2,500,-000 More. Other Large payments were made to Illinois Iowa Ohio and Pennsylvania. Each of which received from $4,000.-000 to $5,000,000 or More during the year. Republican Bureau. 101 District Bank building. Washington d. C., dec. La. By George f. Authier freight congestion in the Western farming Section despite the most strenuous efforts to relieve it con Tinus due to a continued unprecedented freight offering of miscellaneous character which is continuing to break All records. The car shortage which Western states Are reporting As causing disaster to the Farmers is further complicated by the fact that the Semi monthly report on locomotive equipment mad by the american railway association shows a total of 15,120 locomotives of All kinds Laid up for repairs for Twenty four hours or Over or 23.5 per cent of the total locomotive equipment of the roads. This situation is credited to the result of the shop men a strike. In the face of the continued huge freight offerings the class one railroads report a net operating income i of 4.05 per cent on their tentative a valuation As compared with 5.01 per cent for october a year ago. Operating income increases during the first ten months of the year the roads had a net operating i income the american railway association reports of $614,627,000 compared with $499.346.0o0 during the j corresponding period last year. This is at the annual rate of return of 3.97 per cent compared with 3.53 per cent during the first ten months in 1921. Operating revenues for the to months period amounted to $4.-i 574.506,000, a decrease of 2.1 per i cent compared with the same months j last year while operating expenses totalled $3,639,371,000 a decrease of 6.1 per cent compared with the same to months in 1921. The explanation is made by the roads that a while there was approximately an increase of 7 1-2 per cent Over october of last. Year in the i amount of freight traffic carried by i the railroads in october operating i revenues showed Only an increase of 2 1-2 per cent due to reductions in j freight rates that have been made since one year the net operating income of the to Chi one roads for october of this year totalled $85,234,000, upon which the earnings of 4.05 per cent is based. The same roads in october last year had net operating income of $105,-425,600 while in september of this year it amounted to $58,457,000, or approximately 2.88 per cent. Revenue also larger operating revenues in october totalled $549,284,800, an increase of 2 1-2 per cent Over october of last year. While operating expenses amounted to $428,263,000. Or an increase of 7.8 per cent Over the same month one year ago. The railroads contend they have done the Best they could to maintain j their equipment. Their report says a an indication As to the extent to which the railroads have gone to improve the condition of their equipment is the fact that while expenditures for maintenance of Way and structures in october total i de $68 800 too. Or 5 per cent less than expended for that purpose in october of last year expenditures for maintenance of equipment amounted to $130,212,000. Or an increase of 16.2 per cent Over one year Twenty six railroads in october had perming deficits of which 15 were in the Eastern districts one in the Southern and to in the Western District. While the seasonal decline in freight offerings usually commences in october the freight loadings for the week of november 2 5 listed Kinder the heading of miscellaneous the barometer of business Prosperity was 335. 3 53 cars As compared with 332 595 for the preceding week. The total local i lugs now begin to show a slight de i Cline due chiefly to the stoppage of i Ore shipments incidental to the closing of Lake navigation. Loadings of i Grain and Grain products and of live a Stock show a slight seasonal falling off. But remain far in excess of the two previous years. The total Load inc for the week were close to the i million Mark the total being 955.495 cars which is close to the Peak which registered slightly More than a million cars for the week ending october 28.

Pm adjournment of the premieres conference tonight for eight Days in order to Avert an open rupture Between England and France Over the question of German reparations has been virtually decided upon it was Learned today. The British Cabinet rejected the measures of Force tor the Ruhr District upon which Premier Poincare insisted. Prime minister Bonar Law informed Premier Poincare that British Public opinion was overwhelmingly opposed to any military measure against Germany. Will resume next week Poincare had made a demand for the occupation of the Buhr As a guarantee for the German moratorium. The conference probably will resume its session in eight Days in London or Paris. Meanwhile it is hoped some guarantees May be found which will satisfy the French and at the same time make military action unnecessary. It was stated in French circles that the imminent adjournment Vias merely a Man Euver to prevent an open creak among the allies particularly Between France and England and that there was Little likelihood of finding a common basis of agreement Between England and France. All Franco Hacks Poincare it was further pointed out that in spite of Premier Poincare a desire to co operate with the new British government he has Beeh forced largely by the political situation at Home to demand the Ruhr As the Price of any Concession to Germany. The meeting of the premiers scheduled for this noon was postponed until 4�?Tclock. It was expected in the meantime private interviews would take place among the premiers in an eleventh hour Effort to save the conversations from what seemed this morning to be inevitable postponement. Merchants push fight against spurious checks by Mark Suli j Van National political correspondent of tin Mitchell evening Republican and tin new y Ork evening font Washington. D. C., dec. copyright 1922 by the Mitchell evening Republican and the new York evening Post a while there is Good evidence that president Harding personally has no particular sympathy with going through the process of a constitutional amendment in order to change the Date of the beginning of newly elected congresses most of the other regular Republican leaders have no marked antipathy to it. Many of them in fact urged it Long before la Follette brought it up recently. So conservative an organization As the american bar association has gone on record in favor of it. President Harding s hesitancy seems to lie in his belief that the present system is a Concrete advantage. The theory is that the electorate May vote in haste and the country May be the better on occasions for a period of reflection Between the casting of the vote and the assembling of tile new Congress. But the proposal that to lib Congress elected in november should come together and go to work in january does not create much excitement among the regular republicans generally. Weather chief objection the chief objection brought Forward is one of weather. The new proposal would cause the president to be inaugurated on the same Day As the assembling of the new Congress. And january in Washington is a very unpleasant time for the Parados Ami other features of a presidential inauguration. The Washington shopkeepers can be expected to do what they can in opposition. On several recent occasions w n the Mardi 4 inauguration has been embarrassed by bad weather there have been proposals not to Advance the Date but to postpone it until the Milder month of May. Neither is there much excitement among the regular Republican leaders about the elimination of the archaic electoral College. That would be a perfunctory innovation so Long As the voting by states is retained. And even the progressive leaders want to retain tile voting by states. Taxation real contrast As to the proposals for farm credit the regular republicans have already drafted Bills which go As far As any except the most extreme radicals demand in the direction of setting up institutions for of form credit under the auspices of the Federal government and with the initial capital advanced from the Federal Treasury. It is in the matter of taxation when it conies up that there will be a real contrast of position Between the conservatives and radicals.

Summarizing the achievements of the recent election the report states a it has brought together the Industrial workers and Farmers and demonstrated their common economic and political interests and that they can and win unite their forces in the political Chicago iii., dec. by a. Pm shrinkage of foreign to markets affects the Farmers credit More than anything else in the world and there is nothing of greater moment than the creation of International relations that will be precedent to the re establishment of those markets declared Berhard m. Brauch of new York former chairman of the War industries Board in an address today before the american farm Bureau federation. Surplus determines Price a surplus finally determines the Price of products a lie said. A Farmers Are the real exporters of the country. It is you who Are deeply interested in foreign affairs and if you cannot sell your surplus abroad you must take a lower Price for that portion of the produce consumed Here. The re establishment of the worlds foreign markets can Only come with the re establishment of the worlds economic peace and balance. A agriculture needs the same Access to proper financing As does modern business in order to be placed on an Equality with other industries with which it has to balance. A new finance system to increase the volume of three classes of Rural credits should be set up. Credits for More orderly marketing of crops for the purpose of raising and marketing cattle and for productive purposes. Favors certificate plan a the basis for increased marketing credits should be the placing of the products in a warehouse where a Neutral authority would Register their Grade and amount and Issue the Farmer a certificate. This certificate could be taken to a Bank and credit obtained upon or to a new finance corporation which should be created for the purpose of lending Money to the Farmer at the lowest possible rate of interest for not exceeding one year upon his note secured by the a the new institution Independent of the present banking system would place the Farmers note in its Treasury and Issue its own obligations which would be Discountable in the Federal Reserve system when having not More than nine months to maturity. A the basis of the issuance of credit to cattle raisers would be cattle property inspected. Debenture for this purpose should run As Long As three years but Only notes having a nine months or less maturity should be Discountable in the Federal Reserve Banks. Moral risk is Factor a in the matter of credit for production moral risk the character and individuality of the Farmer himself must be considered. Rural Banks and merchants now furnish this kind of credit but the Farmer must not he restricted solely to local markets. Financial associations or corporations could be formed in localities to provide necessary guarantees for credit. These would be analogous to the farm loan association of the Federal land Banks but controlled by Farmers and others by whom capital would be subscribed. The initial capital of the new system could be obtained out of liquidation of the War finance corporation.
