GOOD Roads Recommendations.

Besides providing for permanent
highway Improvement organization,
with headquarters in Chicago, the ma
tiOnaI good roads convention recently
held in that city adopted certain gen
eral recommendations made by com
mittee for the promotion of the end
in view.
The first recommendation is rather
obscure1y worded, but it seems to
mean that the state should repeal the
provisions of their road laws requiring
people to work many days each year
on the roads and substitute therefor
a provision requiring cash payment of
road taxes. This is reasonable far
as it goes, because the labor under this
system is largely ineffective and mis-
applied; the work is pretty much all
done at one time, which is irrational,
and it is rarely well directed. 1t was
stated by one of the speakers at the
convention that fully rs per cent of
the work done under this system was
thrown away. With the taxes paid in
cash and the money used to buy suit
able materials and appliances and to
employ capable workmen and direct
them wisely far more and better re-
suits would be secured at great ex-
pense. The second recommendation
was that state legislatures make provi-
sion for the employment of convict la
Dor in preparation of material for the
construction of roads. The third rec
concentration is the passage of suitable
state laws in aid Of the work OF I'M
provement and the appointment of
on-partisan'' highway commission
