Hill and obtain an object lesson in the
proper way to build roads.
Mr. Hill built several types of road
a few years ago and since that time
they have served as models for legis
lators, engineers, state and county of
ficials and others interested in road
construction. There are many experts
now whose education date from their
first visit to MaryhilL
They first learned there about verti
cal, horiaontarand longitudinal curves,
five per. cent grades and the economy
of making the cuts balance the fills,
in shorj; that a road should be fitted
to the ground Just as a tailor fits a
coat to a man's back. They learned
also the first essential in making roads
is brains.'
In building .his model roads Mr. Hill
has builded better than he knew. To
him Oregon and Washington are in

highway development of the past few

Nothing is more striking, m review-!
ing rthe fJrst 'car of the &reat wf,E
thai the fashion in which practically ;
everfr forecast or expectation, which
had been made regarding it has failed,
writes Carl Snyder, In Colliers.
Germany expected a short war, a
quick triumph. The generals expected
to be In Paris Inside of 90 days, and
her soldiers were told that they would
be home for Christina. But they may
still be fighting a year from next
Christmas.
Consider the irony of the situation.
The bright hope of the allies was the
great steam roller- France and Eng
land were to keep the JIuns at bay un
til the Slav had taken Berlin 'and
Vienna!
And, what is the situation at the end
of the first year? f
The Russian ' steam rolller seems
most effective in rolling backward.
It rolled into Galicla and into Prussia,
and then -rolled out again, leaving
something like a million prisoners.
. Illusions About Bankruptcy.
As erroneous and futile as the
guesses regarding the war Itself have
been the efforts to set limits i to it
through the exhaustion of money and
credits. Grave statisticians have com
piled appalling figures one of them
pretending to show that after the first
six months the warring nations were
poorer by a matter of $17,000,000,000,
or at the rate of perhaps $30,000,000.
000 for the year. All this is part of
the unconquerable illusion that war
means eoloesal waste and exhaustion
and that a prolonged war would mean
the bankruptcy of Europe. Few no
tions are more groundless.
Almost equally illusory are the prev
alent notions as to the real cost of war.
For example, the first year of the pres
ent conflict will levy upon France
something like $4,000,000,000, Eng
land perhaps $5,000,000,000. and Ger
many still .more. A greafxmany writ
ers assume and numbers of people be
lieve that this is a total loss. If it
were, the war could not outlast a year.
This Is fairly easy to , show. The
amount of fluid capital in the world Is
quite limited. The total amount of
new flotations, both private and public,
for all Europe averages rather less
than four billions a year. And even
this does not mean the actual borrow
ing of $4,000,000,000 clear. A consid
erable part of It is simply a turnover
from one enterprise to another, as, for
example, the creation of $1,500,000,000
of stocks and bonds in the formation
of our great steel corporation. For
this very little real money changed
hands and surprisingly little new cap
ital waa actually raised.
Exhaustion of Credit Impossible.
The war cannot be stopped in the
near future by the exhaustion of credit.
That is clear. . Germany and Austria,
fdr example, have done no outside bor
rowing; and they have little need. The
funds they have raised so far have
been spent within their own boundar
ies; it has simply passed from one
hand to another. It has been simply
slipping from Peter to ay Paul. So
long as they are not crippled indus
trially they can, go on for a long time.
Taken together, Germany and Aus
tria represent today industrial su
premacy in Europe. . They have the
biggest Iron mines, the biggest' coal
mines, the greatest output of iron arid
steel, and of all the manufactures al
lied with these, save perhaps ship
building. Within the last 40 year
there has come this amazing change.
Germany , and Austria, taken to
gether, now form a self contained em
pire of 120,000,000 . souls. They have
the finest industrial equipment in Eu
rope and the best organized and most
efficient government. . Perhaps in
two years they could be blasted out
of Belgium and Northern France. But
the cost would be terrific
Certainly the belief in a German
.
"collapse." or the notion that the hosts
of the allies could ever, unaided, enter
Berlin and Vienna, belongs .to the realm
of iridescent dreams. '
But the real ending- of the war may
very readily come from quite1 another
direction. It may come from what was
probably the most powerful single ap
proximate cause.. That is the strength
of the Socialist movement in Germany
itself.
Tjho Socialist party ia now the
strongest political division in the Ger
man empire. In 40 years its vote has
risen from an insignificant S per cent
of the total to 35 per cent. It elects
all of the members of the reichstac
from Berlin save one, and practically
all of the larger cities are represented
by Socialist members. V 1
"Where Taxation Tresses.
The growth of the German Socialist
vote has been uninterrupted, and we
have only to prolong the curve of this
growth tp see that in another five or
six years the Socialists would have
been in the majority, and the Junker
control of Germany at an end. With
out the capitalist and Junker dread of
a socialistic . triumph, there could
scarcely have been any war.
The wave of war lust which swept
Germany a year ago may be likened
to a vast contagion. ' Before it . the
Ideals of socialism and International
ism were aa waving reeds. The fierce
war spirit still burns, and so long as
it does the chances of peace are small.
But working steadily to snuff it out,
and all German militarism with it. Is a
powerful and steadily growing force.
That is the weight of an intolerable
burden of taxation.
It is perfectly clear, to begin with,
that it is next to impossible to tax cap
ital very much. You may load It with
death duties and Income taxes, but. the
moment these become "serious there Is
an abrupt reduction in the revenue re
ceived. Capital is fluid, and the mo
ment its average return Is loaded too
much-in one state or country It will
flow to some other. ..
And no nation, can stand this.. Capi
tal Is the very blood of modern life.
The saver is a really valuable member
of society; it is curious to see how
government have always protected
capital at almost Any cost. .Labor at
a pinch can starve, and often does, be
cause it has not the same fluidity.
The people who can be made to pay
are the larger middle class, the worker
class so-called, the day-wage and the
farm population. These comprise 00
or 70 per cent of the whole, and it is
on them that the burden falls.
The people who have the least to
gain In this war and the people who
will pay for the, war are in the tre
mendous majority. They can rise up
and say: "This is a capitalists' war,
as all wars are. We have been ruth
lessly saddled with a colosssal debt, for
which we have, received nothing. We
will not pay."
, The Junkers' "Viewpoint,
Practically, then, the duration of the
war depends on how long the German
people will support their . Junker
militarists In prosecuting this war.
There are, indeed, many reasons
to believe that the Junker crowd
saw in the war the only - means
of averting German democratiza
tion. In point of fact, it seems prob
able that an Inglorious end of the war
would add enormously to the, social
istic vote and go a long way' toward
bringing about a German republic. This
would almost certainly result in an ex
plosion in Russia and the end of au
tocracy there.
. With csar and kaisers banished,
there would be no further need of
standing armies. Democracies do not
make war one upon the other.
The Probable Oatooaa,
But this prospect, however alluring,
may be considerably postponed. The
huge currency inflation which wars al
ways produce has a hang-over effect,
so that the war, so far from produc
ing direct exhaustion and collapse, will
probably be followed by an era of high
prices, high wages and wild specula
tion such- as followed our own Civil
war. This should mean an enormous
"boom" in the United States. The col
lapse will come after.-
It is curious to reflect that this
would fit in very well with what may
bo roughly described as the normal
economic cycle. Was It- pure chance
that the war came Just at the end of
a huge world boom in business and
Just as the pinch of depression was
coming severely to be felt? Is It pos
sible that, wars usually come in lust
such a trough arid that, so far from
being eras of insane expansion, they
are precisely the reverse, and, strange
as it may seem, represent a period of
recuperation?. .
