Eminent Domain and Public Roads,

:"
The question Of good wagon
roads Is now regarded a national
issue. Rural interests are mater
tally influenced by the condition Of
the country thoroughfares. The
value nf all classes Of property is
regulated by the available features
for transportation. In the new
west the principle of eminent do
main Is important in the consider
alton Of the road question. The
farmer generally is most interested
in the good road movement, but
the farmer is of all classes the most
arbitrary in resisting the demands
for rights-of-way for public use.
The chief cause of bad roads In the
country comes from the unreason.
able aversion of the rural land
owner to principle of eminent do
main. The farmer disregards the
public interest, very often to the
extent of refusing the right-of-way
through his land to save perhaps
small item OF expense for fencing,
or he refuses to allow small area
Of his land to be used by the pub.
lie, and thus increases distances or
grades for a whole community.
Every mile oil distance added TO
public road reduces the price Of
wheat hauled over that road one
cent per bushel. This reduced
price Of products reduces the price
Of the farming land on which it is
grown, at least ten per cent.
There are many sections of this
new country where the price of
farm products is reduced to the
limit of profitable production by
the failure to invoke the principle
Of eminent domain and to condemn
rights-of-way through the holdings
Of arbitrary land owners. The loss
to the country from this source
alone is sufficient annually to pur-
chase all the deserved rights Of
way necessary to insure the short
est possible. roads and the best
grades throughout the country.
The average loss of distance on
country roads by forcing roads a.
round the farms on lines out of re-
gard for individual owner is twenty
per cent of the cost of all transpor-
tation TO and from the country.
The loss from increased grades is
as much. This loss falls on the
farmers themselves.
The good roads movement is in
the interest of the farmers. The
issue should include all the phases
ofthe subject. A radical road re-
form is the next revolution of re-.
form. 1t should be effective from
the beginning. The commonwealth
should buy the best rights. of. wav
regardless of cost and make good
road beds with grade limit that
will reduce the cost of transporta-
tion to a minimum.
