Ftivorable Outlook for Roads In North Carolina This Year RAL.EIGH, Jan. 10 The North Caro ifna Good Roads association has issued ' (he following argument for a large road building program for the state during this year: The whole country has, during the pawt few years, enjoyed, a gree f prosperity unprecedented in the his tory of the United States. Never, in the past, has the merchant, the manufac turer, the farmer or the laborer been able to command so large a return in money value. While this has, been true of the coun try at large, it has been even more true as regards the south. The state of North Carolina, too, has received even more than her proportionate share, as could be abundantly proven by statis tics. We have been thrice blessed. The federal government never placed a limit on the selling price either of cot ton or tobacco. These hieh tide conditions, however, could not always obtain. Every one knew that a slump was bound to come. The fabulous prices could not last al ways deflation and lowered values were bound to supervene. We have, however, been fortunate in weathering this transformation with out a panic, perhaps the most out standing and, by many thought to "be, the most extraordinary circumstance of the recent fall In prices. Deflation has, in tne main, been orderly and with relatively few failures. , " , Outlook Im Favorable The cutlook, however, is distinctly favorable. There is good reason to be lieve that the price of commodities and labor has nearly if not Quite reached the bottom; and, if we can believe some of the most far-seeing authori ties, the United States will soon start upon a period of many years of pros perity, the magnitude of which the world has never witnessed. There is certain to be a transition period, a few months of re-adjustment. In that very period we are now actually living. The market value of some staple crops is low, labor Is out of employment and acreage must and vlll be reduced. These are facts, and we must face, these temporary condi tions calmly, wth a determination to ameliorate them as far as we can bo as to tide over the situation, and. last ly not to stay the onward progress of the state. Now, how best can this situation be tided orer? There is but one answer, viz., to begin an intensive program of public works, municipal, county and state. In this way, and in this way alone can the surplus labor be given an opportunity .to make a living. Here in is- one of the very strongest arguments- for initiating at "once the?nost vigorous road building era that the state has ever known. Other states in the union recognize this principle, 'why not North Carolina? j v" . Statistics show that there Is now available for road construction in the United States over 11,250,000,000. Of tfiis fabulous sum, it is estimated that about $550,000,000 will actually be spent in road building in the year . Will North Carolina.be behind? Do we want thousands of our citizens to. migrate to more progressive states to find labor on public works to our detriment? If other states see the wis- A THREE DAY'S COUGH IS YOUR DANGER SIGNAL Chronic Coughs and Persistent ."Colds Lead to Serious Lung ( Trouble.

(A4v.) ? , ;. " .- ' .. ' . " ...... ) - ' ,. J dom of absorbing-their surplus labor, does not the same rule apply to North Carolina? Five Cents On tne $100 The question of taxes is not even of secondary importance. According to the state highway Dill as recently drawn' and submitted to the general assembly, there is only a levy of 5c on the' $100, or 50c on the $1,000 worth worth of 'property. Of what consc ience is this, as compared with giv ing employment to large numbers of men who need the wages? Most of them would make in a single day their yearly taxes. Let us not be shortsighted. To be penny, wise and pound foolish is sure ly not becoming to our good state. The depression which certain , sec tions are now feeling, and is felt even in the country at large, is not a cir cumstance to the actual suffering and want which prevails in- war-stricken Europe. Tet in England and France today the roads are being built and re habilitated as a matter of wise public policy. In like manner, Napoleon began and carried out extensive public works to give employment to the thousands of French soldiers who needed the wages. . Let us not magnify the temporary depression, but rather strive to lessen it. Complaining about , hard times never did nor never will rectify them. In keeping our labor at home well paid on public works we will in truth be playing the part of statesmen. Let u,s build improved highways In every county of he state, and start at once. Manifestly, the job is a large one and there is no time to lose. The program too should be as big as there is labor available to carry it out. It would be unfortunate to so limit the necessary funds so that our people would have to go elsewhere to find a market for their labor. Broad-Vinioned Men Fortunately, never before, was the Btate represented in its general as sembly by as lars-e a number of broad Visioned constructive legislators as at the present time. They recognize as a united body the opportunity and the need . of. the hour in which they are strongly supported by a -united citi zenship. r'North Carolina is justly proud of her leadership in the south. Let us demon strate that we have the faith. RENT, FUEL AND LIGHT HAVEN'T BEEN LOWERED Average Cost of . Living, kow ever, Shows Reduction WASHINGTON. Jan.' 10.
