Wheelmen and Roads.

The greatest fault with our old syS-
tenn II r,tdbuilding lies i'll the fact
that it throws the whole responsibility
of building and maintaining country
roads It's well as their entire cost upon
the farmers. This is wrong, and 1t Is
this wrong which the League Of Ameri-
can Wheelmen is endcavorlng to cor
rect / Y advocating the introduction Il
the state AID system throughout til,
Unit'd States 1t has frequt ntly been
charged that we expect farmers to builG
roads for bicycle riders and to pay f.
them out of their own pockets. No bet
ter reply can be made to this charge
than to point out the fact that the
efforts of the League of American
Wheelmcn for good roads have been
mainly directed toward the introduction
of such a state aid system.
The city receives direct and indir,c ct
benefits from good roads, and, beng
thus interested in them, should contrib
ute to the expense of their construction.
This is simply on the broad principle
that all who profit from an improve
ment should help to bring it about. III
most of the states the greater part OF
the wealth is controlled in the cities,
and it is fair and right that all this
property should contribute equitably to
the cost of roadbuilding - merchants,
manufacturers and capitalists, the
wealthy corporations, insurance, tele-
phone and railroad companies, in fact
every class of people should contribute
toward the expense of building good
roads. Otto DOruer
