Farmers and Good Roads.

Farmers have enough in the way of
taxes to pay without undertaking tho
building of elaborate gravel and stone
roads. 1t is unfair that such a burden
should be added to their already heavy
load. Whatever may be undertaken in
the way of constructing permanent
highways should be done at the expense
of those who are to reap its benefits.
True it is that the saving in the cost of
hauling crops would be considerable,
and that this saving would result al
most entirely to the farmer, but that
is no reason for asking him to pay the
cost of building such roads He is not
the only one to use them. They serve
to bring city people and city products
into the country as much as they serve
to bring country people and country
products into the city. The merchant
who has business with the farmer is as
much benefited through good road to
travel over as is the farmer who comes
to town ON business of any kind. Neither
is the use of roads limited to those liv-
ing in the vicinity, and travellers from
"A distance share the benefits resulting
from their Improvement 1t would be
the height of injustice, therefore, to ask
the farmer alone to stand the cost of
good roads Motorcycle.

FAVORS STATE AID.
The Cost of Building Good Roads Should
Not Fall on the Farmer Alone.

The League of American Whcelmcn
has been the subject of much criticism
on account of its agitation for better
highways. We have been accused of
selfishness i'll tho matter. 1t is believed
by many that we wheclmen expect
farmers to load themselves up with
taxes that they might build roads for
the convenience of bicycle riders. No
greater mistake could be made, says OF
to Dorner. We of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen, who are engaged i'll this
agitation for better roads, feel that the
farmer today bears his full share of
public taxation, and that it should not
be unnecessarily added to. We feel that
a mistake has been made i'll the past i'll
expecting farmers alone to pay for
building roads, and i'll leaving the en-
tire responsibility for our roads i'll their
hands.
The farmers of the United States are
but u fraction of our population, and
they are by no means the only ones who
will profit by the construction of good
roads 1t is claimed that in the state of
New York every farmer is obliged to
build roads for eight persons out of the
states population. Why should not the
other seven contribute to the cost?
While good roads would save the farm
ers immense amounts in hauling prod
ucts, this saving would indirectly bene-
fit the whole population. Neither is the
farmer the only one who travels the
country highways Country merchants,
doctors and professional men, peddlers,
pleasure seekers, and, last but not least,
the wheelmen, would be directly bene
flied by good roads 1t is unjust, there
fore, that the farmers should pay for
building these roads
