Pity the Unpainted House!
Would you go out in the pouring rain wearing
your best clothes if you had no protection
such as an umbrella or raincoat? Not if you
could help it, you say.
Yet some people expose expensive material to
the elements without adequate protection.
The building material in your house is ex¬
pensive and should be protected. Otherwise
it will be ruined as surely as the fine clothes
you wouldn’t wish to wear out in the rain.
Dampness causes decay in wood-work. If
you keep out the dampness you keep a\\a\

CHEAPER ROAD
Removal o! the Asphalt Tariff
Would Benefit Taxpayers.
Representatives in congress and the
senators from this state can strike an
effective blow for cheaper good roads
and asphalt streets by Insisting that
th. new tariff law shall admit asphalt
free of duty There is no question of
protection involved, for there Is no lake
or natural asphalt in the United States,
The competing domestic materials,
such as oil asphalt and tar, are so
much lower in price than the Imported
product that they need no protection.
In fact, about all the existing tariff--
58.P0 n ton on refined nnsphalt and $1.50
on crude— has done is to result In add¬
ing these amounts to the taxpayer’s
1,111 for good roads and streets. The
, t. ; ,riiT tax is not only added to the price
„f the Imported product, but it makes It
possible for the producers of similar
materials to increase their charges as
well without coming into price compe¬
tition with tiie imported asphalts.
Some kind of bituminous “binder" to
!jo!<! tie- stone in place is used in most
roads in these days of heavy traffic. To
make roads ol this kind as cheap as
possible every! ody interested in the
good roads movement ought to work
for tariff free bitumens
The saving that will result from the
removal of the tariff will not go to the
asphalt people They have promised b
min -e their prices by the amount <
the tariff if it is cut off. and trad:- <•<
siderations would make them do this in
any case. The saving will go to the
taxpayers, who can spend the money
on additional construction that they
could not otherwise afford, or they caa
keep the money in their pockets 'limit
bills for roads and streets have gono
up tremendously in recent years; thete
are millions more to pay. and there
seems to be no good reason for adding
to these millions by continuing the tar¬
iff tax on good roads and streets.
