Highways Of America.

The good road parliament at Atlanta
developed the fact that the old plan of
working out road taxes is being abolish
ed and the system Of cash assessments
for highway Improvement substituted in
it's place. In the states that are the most
enlightened and most prosperous the
plan of having road taxes paid in money
is the prevalent one. So true is this that
the system of road Improvement of a
state can be taken as an infallible index
CT the degree Of civilization it has at
tanned.
Georgia is fortunate in being able tc
chow two Of the most desirable factors
in the making of good roads, One Of
these is that highway taxes are paid in
cash, the other is that convict labor is
employed for working the roads. Geor-
gia is far in advance of some of the
northern states in both these respects.
California is suffering severely from toe
much road law. In one county, however
Santa Clara-the citizens have taken
highway improvement and care into
their own hands. They go so far as to
require not only perfect roads, but that
they shall also be sprinkled daily dur.
ing dry weather. The result is that the
city Of Santa Clara now ranks fourth In
California.
The first step toward good roads is tt
arouse public sentiment in their favor,
particularly among the farmers. The
next is to abolish the road tax as paid
in labor and substitute cash taxes. The
farmer who opposes road tax stands in
his own light as much as if he should
try to plant corn in January. The inter.
ests ct the farmer and bicycler are one
and these two classes Of our citizens
ought to go hand in hand for improved
highways. The cyclers would undoubt-
edly be willing to pay tax on their
wheels for the fun they get out of them
The farmer ought to be willing to pay
the same as a matter of business The

shape of being required to keep less
horsepower on his farm and being able
to haul twice as big load with the
same horsepower as be did before His
land would rise in value.
General Roy Stones rousing address
at the parliament ought to be read by
everybody in America. He gave some
account Of the roads in France, where
fences along highways have been abol
ished and gardens grow up to the edge
OF the wagon tracks. A French agricul-
turlst never uses the railway for any
distance less than so miles, because
the roads are SO good he can haul his
produce to market at less expense.
There is a big difference between French
and American ruralists, according to
General Stone: "In France the republic
leans upon the farmers. Whenever mon.
ey is needed the farmers are the re]i
ance, because farmers are everywhere
prosperous -
