GOOD ROADS NOTES
AutomobIIes and Good Roads.

anu huou hohhbs
X% 0RKERS I'm the good roads
AA movement in this country
V v are hoping for a material
advancement Of their
cause as a result Of the rapid inroduc-
ton of automobiles. The impulse to.
ward better highways caused by the
bicycle is likely to be repeated, in in.
tensifed form, now that a new device
calling for smooth surfaces has been
perfected, especially as the higher cost
Of the automatic vehicle is calculated
to cause its owner to demand proper
tionate consideration. The servicea-
bility Of the automobile increases in
ratio with the smoothness of the way.
The electric vehicle, having limited
capacity,is especially affected by rough
roads, which increases the demand
upon the batteries for a given length
of run. The road-use of these con.
trivances is rapidly becoming their
chief feature and hence the hope that
influences too strong to be ignored
vii be felt by State legislatures to in.
duce them to pass modern road laws
calculated to reform the highways.
The process of teaching the voter by
object lessons that his best interest
lies with better road and consc-
quently q more liberal system of con
struction and repair, does not produce
the results required. 1t is slow work
TO drive the truth through the sloth
and prejudice which have contributed
to the evolution of the worst system Of
country roads in any civilized country.
Too frequently the farmer still holds
to the narrow tire and kills his horses
and loses his markets and wastes his
profits trying to haul his products
through the mire or over rough ways
that rattle his wagons to pieces long
before their time 1t has become ap.
parent that the Indifferent person must
be helped despite himself, and the good
work already done by the Department
Of Agriculture and the League Of
American Wheelmen and by individual
bicyclsts must be furthcred by the
"chauffeurs" The owners of automo-
biles will soon find it to their interest
to take a hand in the propaganda, and
with this help the good work may pro-
gress to the point Of extensive addi-
tions to the decent highways of the
country during the next few years.
What is needed in every State is stiff
law, putting a premium on smooth
roads and a tax on bad ones, estab.
fishing a system Of rebates from the
county taxes on all wagon tires three
inches or more in width and providing
the machinery for the uniform enforce
ment Of such a statute. Even the most
benighted community can appreciate
the logic of a road tax, and with intel
ligent, honest supervision to see that
the road work is properly done most Of
the denominations now called by cour-
tesy roads should speedily give place
to hard, smooth, well-kept highways,
bringing business to the farmers and
opening up the country to settlement.
