Government Aid for Roads.

Government Aid for Roads.
Representative Graham, in the house
of representatives, and Senator Pen
rose, in the senate, have introduced
bills appropriating $4,000, 900 for the
building of public roads in the several
states of the United States, the appro-
priation to be applied to each state in
proportion to the mileage of roads
within the state, to be used exclusively
for the building of permanent roads
under the direction of the department
of agriculture. These bills are fathered
by the League of American Wheelmen,
which has done more to forward the
interests of bicycle riders than all the
other organizations put together. 1t
is not likely that the money will be ap.
propriated at this session of congress,
but the leaven will work, and if the
national government will aid the states
in this matter we may in a few years
see the mud paths which now pass for
roads became magnificent highways
such as every European country pos
gesses.

ROADS IN INDIANA.
They Are Maintained in n slovcnly
and Expensive Way, just ms in
Other States.

That the system of road making
and the maintaining of average dirt
roads in Indiana is wrong, no one can
seriously question. But our law maxi
ers fail to improve matters. Our
laws ought to be changed so as to
abolish the practice of working out
privileges upon the highway and pro-
viding for a money tax. The rate
should be fixed at so much on each
hundred dollars of taxable property,
and this tax should be collected as
other taxes are and paid over by the
county treasurer to the township
trustee. who should be the ovetsccr
ship. 1t should be his duty to let out
all the work on the several roads to
the lowest responsible bidder. who
should be obligated to keep the road
in u specified condition of repair for
one year. The trustee should furnish
the contractor with crushed stone
for use on the roads. With such a
system n great majority of the III
ties in Indiana could, in a short time,
not only have passable roads. but in
a few years time have Il system of
rocked country roads that would be
passable and fit for travel at all sea
sons of the year. The purchase of a
rock crusher and the hire of II port
able engine would not be expensive.

they would insure to the roads of a

IMPROVEMENT.
ROADS,.
Greatest Improvement for the Least
Expense Ii In II Rational system
of Tile Drainage.

Good roads would certainly be a
black prairie soils; but even at the
lowest estimate the cost seems too
great to be consistent with the pres
ent financial condition of the average
farmer, especially so for the one who
depends on sending his corn away.
But there should be some system
of permanent improvement of our
roads. 1t occurs to me the greatest
improvement for the least expense is
in tile drainage, in which many farms
would receive much benefit farmers.
of course, to pay their pro rata ac-
cording to benefits received.
First secure good and permanent
outlets. Use nothing less than eight
inch tile and at intervals of 40 or so
rods connect an eight-inch sewer pipe
with surface ditch. With heavy cast
iron CRATE just large enough to fit
inside the fange or socket end of
pipe; the bars of the CRATE to
be about seven-eighths of an inch;
with same space between; the connec-
ton at bottom of tile should be made
with cement to- prevent the POSSIBLE
ity of soil washing into tile from the
surface during an overflow.
When our roads are good there are
no better, and we have them three
fourths of the year, or nearly that
proportion of time. I hope to see the
time when there will be no surface
bitches, half-fllcd with water on
either side of the road for two or
three days after a heavy rainfall. 1t
should be out of sight in two hours,
then with the under drainage our
roads would soon become dry except
during the time while the frost is
leaving the ground. During those
periods farmers do not do more haul
ing than is actually neccssary.-llii-

LIVELY AGITATION.
Congressional Appropriation Bill to
lie DOM by the League Of
American WheeImen.

The national assembly of the League
of American Wheelmen strongly in
dorsed the bill presented to congress,
calling for an appropriation of $5,O00.-
900 for highway Improvements in the
various states. The bill is framed in
the interests of farmers, wheelmen and
the public generally, and the league re-
quested in it's resolutions that all class
es support the bill by communication
with their representatives. in congress,
asking them to vote for the measure.
In the debate which followed the intro
duction of the resolution many strong
reasons for its passage were brought
out. Amongthem wast the fact that con-
gress annually appropriates millions
of dollars for river and harbor i'm
provement; that subsidies have been
given for railroad building and for
steamships. All of these, it was stated,
are forms of highways. yet the nation
al government has done nothing for a
half century for better road highways.
which would directly benefit the farm
crs and indirectly be of untold value to
the commerce of the entire country.
The action taken by the assembly
calls for united action by all the divi-
sions of the L. A. w. and the farmers
associations in all sections will be
called upon to assist in getting the
measure through. The l.. A. w. expects
that if this bill is favorably acted upon,
the building of roads under the appro-
priation will prove such an object les
son there will be no resisting future re-
quests for congressional appropria-
tions. This bill will be supplemented
by the usual state bills, and altogether
the L. A. w. will have a very active sea-
son IN its good roads work.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
tyatem Has Proved a Failure in Many
Localities on Account of
Execrable Roads.

The farmers of Washington county,
Pa, have at last attained their hearts
~desire-free rural mail delivery. And
at the same time they discover that
the system will probably be a failure.
owing to the bad condition of the
roads in that country. Strange, isn't
1t, that this discovery was not made
before the government acccded to the
demands for the mail service? Verify,
What fools these mortals BET" Aft
er having listened in stony silence for
20 years to good roads and
in the meantime deciding that rural
mail service was of more value than
good roads, these farmers discover
that the road must come first and
that rural mail delivery will follow
naturally. AS it is, they have put the
cart before the horse, and as a result
the horse backs away.
Here was the proposition which
these farmers considered: Good roads,
which would enable the farmer to
haul his products TO market at less
cost and with greater ease than with
the present roads; and, secondly, rural
delivery, whose only advantage is the
delivery of letters. once a day. Sup
pose that the letter which the rural
carrier delivers contains an offer for
the farmers wheat at one dollar per
bushel on immediate delivery, and
suppose that the roads are in their
usual impossible condition; then
what? The farmer tears his whiskers
and other hirsute adornment and
cusses the government that allows
such roads to be built. He forgets
that the building of roads lies within
his own power; that if he asserts him
self he can procure the finest roads in
the world. Instead, he is obliged to
lose this chance to sell his wheat at
II dollar per bushel, merely because
he has accepted rural mail delivery
in lieu of good roads. That letter does
him no good; it is the immediate de-
livery of the wheat that counts, and
rural mail carriers are not addicted to
carrying wheat to the railroad sta
ton some miles away. Rural delivery
will surely follow good roads, and
good roads may possibly follow free
rural mail delivery, but let us have
the roads first. You cannot send sew
eral hundred bushels of wheat by
mail, but with good roads you can
have the pleasure, the real pleasure,
of driving into "town' any day with
your wheat and other products and
get your own mail, and then YOU will
not feel the need of free rural mail
delivery. When you get the good
roads, then the boys will want BIZ
cycles, and every morning they will
be only too glad to ride in for the
mail, and the rural mail carriers will
only have to draw their breath and
their salary, and they will way fat,
and the farmer likewise, and then
prosperity will ride through the land
in a motor vehicle on good roads.
AS at present contemplated. it will
require from 10 to so carriers to de-
liver the mail through Washington
county once a day. That is, provid-
ing the roads are in good enough con-
dition; otherwise the farmers will be
lucky to get their 1aail once a month.

WHEELMEN TO HELP.
Much Work for Good Hands to De
Done This Year by Leading
Bicycle Organization.

Now that the League of American
Whcelmen has abolished its racing de-
partment, every attention will be
given the other branches of the work.
The most important of these is the
highway improvement department, in
of the good roads movement. which
was started by the l.. A. W., and
which has been constantly agitated
by it for almost 20 years. The league
has made rapid strides in this move
ment, particularly during the past
year, but the racing question has re-
Elected upon this as upon all other
deparements, the belief being dissem-
mated that none of the branches of
league work could be made etrectiv.
until the racing question was settled,
The most important work accom-
plished last year was the holding of
many good roads conventions in va
'rious states, the introduction of
highway improvement measures in
many of the state legislatures and
VIC CNolltlOu VI lllC movement w Hid
tional proportions, as was evidenced
by the bill introduced in congress call
ing for an appropriation of $4,000, 900.
Constitutional amendments were car
ried in Michigan and Minnesota, and
q large amount of education on the
subject was circulated by the league.
All of this work will be continued
during the present year, but upon a
much larger scale than heretofore. In
fact, this will be one of the most i'm
portant agitations of the year, aside
from the presidential elections. The
delegates of the l.. A.. w. were never
more enthusiastic upon the subject,
and they will enter into the work
with increased vigor. They expect
the cooperation of all wheelmen in the
great work they are doing.
