FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1920 New Experience For The Taxpayer The government of Illinois is re- fusing to accept the Iiold-up prices that have been submitted by con- tractors for the building of the new roadways throughout the state. It is a new tiling in the experience of the taxpayer to see some show of in- terest in public officials as to how the money collected from him and his fellow sufferers should be spent. Illinois needs the new roads which it is proposed to build. It is much to be hoped that there will be a dis- position on the part of the govern- ment to hold out against the pay- ment of the high rate demanded by those who have submitted bids until contractors are convinced that there has come an end to extracting easy money from the public treasury and be encouraged to look for errors in their figures that will admit of a new bid. That Way Danger Lies Acting Secretary of State-Folk an- nounced that he is going "to stick around and help the President all he can." Jle was laying out for him- self a dangerous program, for that was just exactly what Secretary Lansing did, and it cost him his of- ficial head. President Wilson's long suit is not accepting help in the job of run- ning the country.

W.H.Salisbury SCO: The real measure of damage due to poor telephone service is in loss of time or in the personal inconvenience caused. Speed is a relative term that depends upon what one is used to rather than upon what one actually requires or that one may have been led to expect. In telephone practice high speed is taken for granted; if telephone calls had never been answered bj' the operator in less than thirty or forty seconds, it would still be not only the quickest service in the world but it would seem the quickest. Moreover, the time consumed would be less than that re- quired to complete any other operation in the business or domestic routine. The remarkably fast service the telephone companies have created and maintained so steadily has made fifteen and twenty seconds seem a long time â€" but only as regards telephone service. 301 W.
