Baton Rouge Advocate: The Ans.
tralian ballot system is proposed hy
several leading newspapers of the STATE
as the remedy for the evils of universal
suffrage in Louisiana and as prepare
tory step to the publication of our poIi-
tics. This plan is practically the es-
tablislment OF an educational Gualitica-
ton for voters, and therefore it is ey-
trenlely doubtful, in view of the great
llliteracy among even the white voters
whether the politicians can he induced
TO adopt and support such a proposition.
That remedy ought to be found and
applied before tho next State election is
conceded by all good citizens. but If is
very doubtful whether the Australian
system will meet with general approval

The Cost of Bad Roads,
Times eIiluclat.

Times Democrat.
While the movement to secure bette
roads has been allowed to die away il
this and other States, the agitation il
kept up in New York, Pennsylvania anC
the North generally as to the benefits
likely to accrue from good roads, and
the best law for their construction and
control.
The Engineers Society Of Western
( Pennsylvania has devoted Itself specl-
I ally to the consideration OF the cost OF
! bad roads, and shows it to be one of the
! heaviests taxes the farmers have to pay.
! The average distance which farm pro-
/ duce has to be hauled in Pennsylvania
for shipment to market is five miles-it
would be fully twice that much in Loui-
Standard assuming that half the pro-
duce is consumed on the farm and the
other half shipped to market, ordinary
clay roads entail an annual cost of ST.
991 800 for transportation above that Of
turnpikes. This estimate of cost is bas-
ed upon careful experiments, covering
great number OF cases.
If, therefore, the Pennsylvania far
mers expended 100000 year on
roads they would make money 10y it,
and for that sum they could build 600
to 1000 miles of turnpike IA year and
keep 10000 miles of it in repair
This, however, is only a portion of the
loss from bad roads, for it covers only
the shipment of produce from the farm
to the market. TO it must be added
the machinery, merchandise and other
products hauled to the farm or to the
villages not on the line of railroads, the
exchanges between farmers, etc, which
would exceed 81 100000 aud bring the
cost Of bad roads up to $4,000 900 a year.
Finally, there is the loss to farmers
from not being able to reach the market
when they desired to do SO and when
prices are good, which would make the
total loss 100000 a year, without in
GLIDING the wear and tear on wagons, |
teams, etc, which it is impossible to es-
Innate.
The presentation of these and similar
facts are having a most salutary effect |
N the Pennsylvania farmers, who are
to understand what great
burden and expense are bad roads, and
hat it is much cheaper in The end for
hem to tax themselves to build good
Dads than to be taxed to continue bad
