The Benent of Good Knnd.-

AT the suggestion OF General Roy
Stone, Director of the Office of road
inquiry of the Department Of Agricul.
ture, the Postoffce Department has
been making experiments with rural
free delivery of mails upon good roads.
The object was to prove that improved
highways in country districts would
enable the Postofiice Department to
operate rural free deliveries at about
half tho present cost and time, thus
permitting extension or twice a day
service at little additional expense.
The postofIice officials selected four
routes in Burlington County. n. j.,
for the test. These centre al the
towns OF Moorestown and Riverton.
and lie over good stone roads. In
most rural districts it has been found
impracticable. on account Of the high
ways, to deliver more than twelve
miles from the distributing centre. II
was found that at the test places in
New Jersey the mails could be deliv-
cred twenty-five to twenty-four miles
away in the same time usually taken
for twelve, or instead there could be
two deliveries a day for little more
than the usual cost of one. Washing

Heavy Not. For Good Raad,


Complete returns of the Minnesota
state election show that the State aid
amendment TO the constitution has
been passed by the people by vote
OF TO,Ot3 to 3S,017. The returns only
recently have been completed. owing
to the unsettled condition OF the
northern and eastern portions of the
State. This is the first time that
popular vote has been taken in any
State upon the good roads question.
ana the result is most emphatic in.
uorsement OF State aid as it's solution.
The Farmers National Congress. which
met at Fort Worth, Texas. recently.
passed strong resolutions in favor OF
state ald and commencing the efforts
ofthe League OF American Wheelmen
toward its Introduction. The Min
nesota vote is another notable iudorse-
ment OF the work of this organization.
The constitutional amendment was
introduced at the session of the Min
nesota Legislature by A. b. Choate.
OF Minneapolis, as the representative
of the League OF American Wheelmen.
and its passage 10y that body was the
result OF his persistent and diplomatic
work IN behalf of the measure. This
left 1t to be submitted to popular vote
Tor Its final passage. A strong educa-
tional campaign for good roads was
carried on by the league throughout
Minnesota last summer and fall, with
the active assistance of the Bureau of
Road Inquiry at Washington aad the
press of Minnesota. A large edition of
pamphlets, explaining the State aid
system of bodybuilding and its advan-
tages to farmers, was distributed and
numerous articles and editorials upon
the subject appeared in the papers in
various parts of the State. Tho re-
sultin5 vote for the amendment is al
most two to one in its favor.

Will take the necessary steps to put

such as is in force in New Jersey and
IN New York. Farmers especially
wlll appreciate this, as it will enable
them to obtain durable highways
without being obliged to bear the en-
tire expense, IS they do at present. In
New Jersey and New York the cost of
roads built by State aid is divided be-
tween the State, the counties and the
local taxpayers in the towns. Many
towns availing themselves of the New
York law are securing funds for road
buildingpurposes from outside sources,
equal to four or five times that which
they raise themselves. Country tax
payers have learned that State aid to
roads provides means by which the
large city taxpayers and corporations
owning valuable franchises from the
State are made to share in the expense
and that it remains optional with the
farming districts to avail themselves
Of this assistance or not, as they may
choose. This explains the popularity
Of State aid in Minnesota and tho
large vote in its favor.
