There Is Plenty of Money.

Russia's Short Cuts.

l'titting your hand to the
plow unci dropping it before
you have finished one furrow
is easy.
Congress adjourns, leaving
unfinished a tariff that was to I
represent farm relief. Con-
gressincn could not agree about
lij industrial corporation re
lief, which turned out to be a
real tariff issue.
However, President Hoover
has pledges from leading in
dustrialists, who promise to
spend two billion dollars in iin
il'rtant works.
That will employ workers and
(liable them to buy farm pro
duets, very important to farm
relief.
The nation might set a good
example bv proceeding more
eucrgetieallv with road build-
jug and other needed work, for
which money has been appro
priated. There is plenty of money i:i
the country. Bank deposits in
New York City alone have in
creased more than a billion dol
lars since October first.'
There is also plenty of water'
m oceans and lakes.' lhe water
does no good, until you get it
on fields, irrigating crops. The
money does not good, until you
put it to work, employing i)ien,
Und producing goods? ' '
Sir Henry Dclcrding, boss of
the Powerful" British' Shell Oil
Company, on his way. here, will
be pleased to see his bright yel
low wagons everywhere.
Perhaps he can show our oil
men how to conserve, oil and
stop waste. American helpless
ness in that direction is pitiful.
The British did,, that with
rubber, forming n pool, highly
profitable to themselves. They
wnnhl liiivc made -us pay off
their whole war debt in high
prices for rubber, had not Mr.
Hoover interfered.
Kussia believes in all sorts of
short cuts. A Russian abroad,
ordered to return, is guilty of
treason, if he fails to obey, mid
will be shot within 24 hours of
his capture by Kiissjun author!

Tho body of the "father of vic

father In a little plot in Colombler
Just outsidd the village, to rest for
ever, in his .beloved vVendcean
home. " 1
Only members of the family and
about twenty of his most Intimate
friends were present ut the Inter
ment, gendarmes keeping at a dis
tance villagers and other specta
tors. Rain which had been persistent
all morning ceased as the little
cortege entered the burial place,
but the skyi remained gray and
misty. f
Although the premier's closest
friends had announced he would
bo buried standing .upright, the
family decided ut the last moment
that the grave should be dug us
usual because solid rock crops out
at the burial place to within a
yard of the surface.
PARIS. Nov. 2$. A) "The can

day began the I (1 1 gun salute
which was notification to the
populace that the body of Georges
Clemenceau, fattier of victory, had
been lowered to its 'last resting
place in the hills of his nutlve
Vendee, near Mouchamps.
The roar of the guns, located on
the parade grounds of Des Invii
lldes. reverberated through the
city, und good Frenchmen stopped
and raised their hats in their own
salute to the statesman who died
yesterday morning.
Paris could not bear, but every
Fveuch .battery, throughout the re
public and its possessions and
every French warship on the high
seas joined In the same salute of
lot guns.
The body of Clemenceau, left
the capital at 1 a. in., today en
route to its last resting pluce In
the quiet of a wood In the province
of Vendee.
( OMciiMitipn
There was no muffled drum
beat, no oratory, no acclamation
to speed the body on Its last Jour
ney. A hearse drove up before the
light in front of the departed
statesman's door, the only light
kept thereabout In the dimly lllu
uunatfd street. Four men dressed
In black went inside the courtyard
and in a few minuttes emerged
with the My lit oak coffin, which
they placed reverently Inside the
hearse.
Only a little umup, constituted

Major road projects iu Jackson
county tho coming year, according
to tentative plans under considera
tion by tho county engineer's office
and the county court, are continu
ance of the present work on the
l-ake Creek market road and the
Dead Indian road, co-operation with
the federal bureau of public roads,
in the survey of the Diamond like
road recently declared a forest
highway, ami opening steps in a
campaign for oiled roads ill the
county.
Approximately $80,000 will bo ex
pended out of tho mnrket road fund
on tho Ijiko Creek markot road
and dead Indian road. Doth tup
the Luke o' the Woods country.
which ,asldo from lis recreational
value, has timber, stock und agri
cultural wealth. Tho roads, will be
open to travel tho coming; year but
will not be completed to market
road standards for a couple of
yeurs.
S500 for Survey
The county budgci culls for $5,
000 for the Diamond Lake road
survey via tho Meadows, nnd fol
lowing Hoguc river, thus eliminat
ing tho hills and steep climbs of
tho present route. The forestry
service 1ms a preliminary survey
and this will probubly be used us
a basis. The announcement that
the government was anxious to co
operate with states and countiea In
public Improvements the coming
year, means that -no difficulty wl!l
bo experienced In-Inducing federul
departments to co-operate. Only
about five miles of the proposed
road Is In Jackson county. Doug
las county Is expected to co operate
,ln tho project.
An appropriation of $10,000 for a
road oiler Is contained in tho J930
budget, and its uso the coming
yenc will be largely educational,
In impressing upon taxpayers the
desirability and feasibility of oil
ing. It Is tentatively proposed to
resurface and oil four miles ot the
.InckBonvllle Huch highway be
tween the pavements for the first
uillng.
Heavy Trafflo
Over this stretch of road thure
Is a heavy summer travel to the
Applegato recreational spots, nnd
In tho past it has been notorious
for its dust and ruts. It is esti
mated that every autolst in the
county makes at least one trip dur
ing the summer over this road, and
the oiling would give the majority
a chance to test out road oiling
for themselves.
County ICnglneer Rynnlng esti
mates that It will cost from $1)00
to $800 per mile to oil a road with
heavy oil, Instead of a mere dust
pat.'llatlve. It is also expocted that
In 'iMl some of the road districts,
once acquainted with the merits of
oiling, will vole special lovics for
this purpose. Oiling, it is claimed,
also minimizes the wear nnd tour
of hcuvy truck travel,' and Is tt boon
to housewives In keeping down thn
dust. No fund Is provided this year
for oiling, as tho machinery pur
chase was a heavy drain.
Grange Has Program
Special road levies in the V'nglo
Point district will provide jr.Olll),
which will be used on different
roads In that section, in accord
ance with a road program worked
out by tho granges. The work is
largely graveling and will form a
network of feeder roads connect
ing with t lie, main highways. This
road levy Is 4 or 5 mills.
A 4-mlll special road levy lias
been voted by thn llogtie Hlver dis
trict, furnishing $7,100 for Improve
ment of roads fn tlio ICvans Creek
and Pleasant Creek sections.
The Prospect district has voted
an 8.5 mills speclsl road levy, which
will furnish $20,000 for Improve
menls'to tho Hod Blanket, Karl I'l
rich and Kll Creek loop roads. The
latter rood taps the Persist coun
try and eventually will 'connect
with the Karl Ulrlch road, which
connects with Crater l.nko high
way, opening up new fanning uud
hunting territory.
The llultn Kalis district has
