IMPROVED HIGHWAYS
Howard. Martin Midland and Ec-
lr counties are going to build Improv-
4 highway 1 the near future the
four countie being on tha Bankhead
Highway which extends troin "Wash
Ington City to California The one
hundred mllca of good roads which
tlioy will build will cost about on
million dollars. Good roads are n
splendid asset to any county but no
eounty should build good roads with-
out also provision -for the up-lcccp of
same. It Is criminal to spend Jarge
sums pf moner for good rpads or
streets and then allow them to deter-
late and become worse than lout.
In Abilene many of the Improved
streets are about Impassable It seems
ta be the pollpy of tho street depart-
ment to build a street and then leave
ft alone until It gets so bad that It
is almost dangerous to travel before
any more work Is dono on It. AH ot
which may be entirely proper but It
seems to us that a better policy would
b to 'keep every Improved street In
sjood condition It ta our belief that
no street should bo Improved until
the city is tn position to keep it up.
The real .need of Abilene la paved
streets on the main thoroughfares of
the city not Improved streets. A first
class pavefd street from Simmons Col-
lege down Hickory street to North
yirst west on North First from Hick-
ory to Abilene Christian College and
south to McMurry College or som
such route would be the greatest ln-
vestment that could be made. Abilene
seeds paved streets and they should
be kopt when built nnd not allowed
to go to pieces.

ampalgn which has swept mw
comunities this year. These cam-
paigns were 'not inaugurated Just to
While the tims away but because a
regular plague of rats' made them neo-
sseary. The rodents destroy millions
of dollars worth of property every
year besides spreading disease and
being all-round nuisances "The old-
eat Inhabitant cannot remember when
rats were worse In Cisco than ther
are at this time" says the Cisco Dally
New. "They aVe proving a serious
menace to property especially to
wholesale and retail grocery and dry
goods Interests. In addition they are
undermining sidewalks In various
parts or the city catching chicken
and making disease epidemics possi-
ble since they are recognized carriers
c many diseases" The News add
that the chamber of commerce Jiaa
taken the matter In' hand and will
give cash prizes to boys who take
part In tho war on the rodents. It Is
an excellent move and one tho Re-
porter would like to see put on in
Abilene.
Mr. Mark Sullivan political corres-
pondent of the New York Evening
Fast thinks the democrats will maka
a gala qt several seats Jn the congress-
ional elections next year. There Is
.a possibility though a remote one
that ther democrats will regain control
of the lower house. The country Mr.
Sullivan finds s pleased with Hard-
ing but very sore at the congress for
its dllatoriness and general lack of re-
sults. Certainly congress has. not "de-
livered" but will tho voters overlook
the fact that It was asked to deliver
by no less a person than the president
himself? la its failure chargeable to
Mr. Harding? This is a question which
may not enter the elections next year
twt It will be present in 1924.

DOCTORS IN INDUSTItY.
London Tmies:
It has often been laia to tne cnargo
of social reformers that they omit
human nature from their calculations.
Tho charge has not always been a Just
ope yet too often It has found enough
Justification In events to substantiate
it. Especially la this evident in con-
nection with what are known as labqr
disputes. The larger these bulk In our
national vision tho greater becdmes
tho temptation to suggest methods of
ending well-meaning persons pro
pound sohemes the foundations of
whlch aro aet not n human natur6but
in & tacit assumption mai me ranxs
of labor and capital are filled with be-
ings who havo Bhuffled off their com-
mon humanity. The fact that before
either capitalist or workor Is created
a man must live seems to have been
overlooked and In consequence there
Is a tendency to endow feelings which
ore our common heritage with class
names. Thus discontent becomes in-
dustrial unrest and Us causes nro tra-
ced not to want of harmony between
a rnan and his environment but rather
to the roactlon on a craftsman of the
circumstances of hla craft.

hand In what Is spoken cf as '"Indus
trial medicine." This 'science Is scarce-
ly ten years old yet already It has won
many conquests tor Its teaching is
that all -the products of human en-
deavor depend on tho hvalth and hap-
piness of tho men and women who la-
blea in fact aro human trou-

labor as man to man. He pays In ef-

the smallest degree Injures tho work-

not theqry but ascertained fact which
can be demonstrated to the satisfac

good aa the present unemployment

of being discussed as scientific rather

FEDERAD AID JFOR HIGIIWAx
I31PROVEMENT.S-P
As anxious as wo aro for economy
In governmental expenditures nhd for
o reduction In taxes wo would not
llko to see congress make tho propos-
ed reduction of twenty-five per cent
In tho amount to bo appropriated for
federal aid for highway Improvements
Now seems a mtghty poor tJme to at-
tempt such a reduction. Probably no
expenditure that can bo made will
directly give more employment fpr la-
bor than road budding. The big part
of every dollar expended for highway
Improvements goes for tho hlro of la-
bor. For every single dollar appropri-
ated by tho tedcral government for
highway aid probably ten are expend-
ed by state county and other public
agencies so It can bo seon that feder-
al appropriations for road Improve-
ments can be made a big fatqqr in the
relief of unemployment. Congress can
certainly find some other? method of
reducing expenditures thart by at-
tacking tho appropriation for foderal
aid for hlghwny Improvements. Wich-
ita Falls Times.
The need of adequate appropriations
for the support of tho highways now
built and thoso which are needed for
tho future is realized by overyono who
gives the matter of good roads any
thought at all. And tho matter ought
to bo given serious thought by all fpr
the welfare of everyone Is more or less
affected by good or bad ro.da In the
community tho business man being
the one whoso interests nro most at
stake In that a town or city which
has good roads -leading into it will
bo tho one "which will receive the
greater amount of business. C. & C
doed not see any reason why the ap-
propriations Hhould bo cut; in fact
he eocs many reasons why they should
not he. If the government wants to
cut down on appropriation reduce
those for army and navy and similar
institutions but do not debrlvo the
people of the monetary aid in the
building of roads. It is as you say:
mora road work means less unemploy-
ment and Blnce tho unemployment
queatloa Is onq of the most pressing
before thtf country today for that rea-
son JC for no other tho appropriations
for road Improvements should be In-
creased' rather than reduced
