GOOD ROADS.
An Appeal to the Electors to
Vote q Road IaG.

Each election brings with it
new responsibilities which have
to be passed upon by the electors
at the ballot box. This is es-
pecially true in 1900 with the peo.
pie Of Arkansas. For the first
time in the history of the state
the electors are brought face to
face with the road tax issue which
as an economic question has no
equal. The improvement of our
public roads is demanded by the
highest interest of the whole peo-
pie. For this reason all pro-
gressive people have been forced
to the consideration of this i'm
portant question while the non
progressive people pass it by
without consideration and action.
This is no new idea. These two
facts stand out boldly and mark
more distinctly the degree of civ.
ilization Of the nations of the
earth than any other national
characteristic. With the rise of
the Persian Empire to greatness
was built great national high
ways, and Darius is known in
history as great road builder as
we'll as the conqueror of Babylon.
Alexander's empire was cemented
together with we'll built roads, and
the highways of the ancient Ro-
mans stand today as a model OF
engineering skill in road building.
The North American Indians,
monarchs Of the most magnificent
country under the sun, had no
roads. His unkept path through
the deep forests and mountain
Businesses, his unbridged streams,
was only in keeping with his de-
graded mental, social and do.
mestic life,
The first settlements of the
colonies were united with passable
roads which led from settlement
to settlement. The greatest pub
lie care of the first settlers of Ar
kansas was to cut through the
primeval forests public roads
leading from their settlements to
the boat landings. These roads
were first made near the banks
of the navigable rivers. AS the
settler pushed his way back into
: the forests roads were cut out
which connected all parts of the
state, but the travel upon them
was of a light character-heavy
freighting being confined to the
communities near the boat land
ings. The wants OF the first set
tiers were few and farming was
their only occupation. If a sur
plus was produced it was loaded
into flat boat and transported
to market. In those days the
farmers greatest care was to
produce sufficient to supply his
wants until the next years har-
vest. The busy housewife sup
piled the family with sufficient
wearing apparel. They were
strangers to the demands Of
fashions and society. Under
such environments public roads
were little used, and to keep them
up required but little labor. The
average farmer seldom went to
market more than once a year.
He had but littls to sell and con-
sequently he bought but little.
But time has changed tho con-
dilions Of the ante bellum days.
Instead Of few hundred thou
and dollars worth Of products
grown annually for tho markets
the farmers Of Arkansas are now
producing millions. In those
days our lumber and mining in
terest were untouched. Our pos
sibilities in dairv. nolltrv. veret-

remains unclaimed is sufficient to
give to the patriotic Dutch of
South Africa homes where they
can enjoy the blessings of per-
sonal liberty, personal security
and the right to acquire and en-
joy property unmolested by the
grasping greed of the British
capitalist. But across the threS-
hold of these great possibilities
falls the deep, dark shadow Of
bad ROADS, which obscure our
greatness. Their cost to this
country is appalling.
The Department of Good Roads
at Washington City sometime
ago sent out several thousand
letters of inquiry to the farmers
in the different states with the
view to ascertain the difference
in cost to the farmers between
good and bad roads. Their re-
sponses show that it cost the
farmers on an average, 25 cents
to move one ton of their products
one mile. After getting these
facts the department set to work
to ascertain what it cost the farm
ers of Europe where they have
good roads, to move a ton of their
products one mile. This inves-
tigation showed that it cost the
farmer of France, Germany and
England eight and third
cents 10 move a ton of their pro-
ducts one mile. In other words
it cost the farmer who has the
bad roads sixteen and -thirGs
cents, twice as much, to move a
ton one mile than it does the
farmer wko has the good road,
These fiA res are too low for the
Arkansas 50 farmer but taxing
them as a basis it will cost him to
haul 1000 pounds 20 miles $500
while it costs the German farmer
S1.66-a saving to the farmer who
has the good roads S2.34 on every
ton of freight which he hauls %
miles.
On this same basis it is esti-
mated that the bad roads cost
the farmers of the u. S. $780,
100000 annually, and the farmers
of Arkansas contribute to this
relentless enemy ofprogress more
than $4,000, 900 annually. If to
these sums we should add the
cost in wear and tear Of wagons,
teams and harness we would have
a sum when added together that
is staggering to the thinking citi :
zen. This cost is too great.
Every interest of our people de-
mands a change. To accomplish
this is a task that demands the
best energies and thought Of our
greatest statesmen. The old sys-
tenn Of working our roads by
gratuitous labor has always re-
suited in failure. BY investiga-
ton it will be found that the
citizens Of our state who work the
public highways under the old
law own not more than 10 per
cent of the property of the state,
and that 80 per cent Of the use of
the roads Of our state is by those
who do not contribute one cent
towards keeping them up. The
assessed value Of the property Of
the state for the year 1900 will be
something near S200,000,000.
Under our old road law those
who own 10 per cent or S20,000,-
600 Of this property do all the
work on the roads, in other words
they are taxed to keep up the
roads, while those who own 90
per cent or S1S0,000,O00 Of the
property Of the state do not con-
tribute one cent towards keeping
up the roads, and at the same
