PERMANENT ROADS.
They should BE Introduced wherever
Big SIMS Are Now spent for Tenn
DOrary improvements.

Report is current that more than s3O.-
100000 are spent annually In this coun-
try for the temporary improvement Of
the public highways. A significant
sum, when 1t is considered that its ex-
penditure leaves the country In no bet
ter condition than before its use. The
money spent in repairing the roads is
practically a waste, for il gives no per-
manency to the improvement. A bridge
may be put in tomorrow, and next
week it washes out; manhole may be
filed this week and next week rain
transforms it into the same old mud
hole. A rut may be corrected, and in
less than "a hours the work is made void
and hence has to be repeated.
There Is need for improvement and
repairs which shall be permanent and
substantial-not only of value to-mor-
row, but for all time 10 come. 1t were
better and more economical thorough
ly to improve one mile of road than to
throw up a dump In the middle Of 20
miles of road and call II improved. The
lack of permanency in the betterment
of our thoroughfares is the feature Of
the good roads question TO which large
importance should and does attach.
We have no definite plan for the i'm
proyement Of the roads, that at this
time would be universally adopted
with good results, but in the absence
of plan we are in the midst of so many
bad roads as TO compel the recognition
of a vast need Of feasible and prac-
ticable method. We all know the pres
ent system is failure, a costly blunder
and unsatisfactory everywhere, and be-
lieve that a new system is bound to be
ushered in at an early day. In sec
tions of Indiana and some other states
macsdam roads have been constructed.
and the service is perfect. Where the
materials for macsdamizing are at
hand, there Is no better way of perma-
nently improving the highways. 1t Is
not necessary TO argue the value Of i'm
proved roads to farmers, how they
would enhance the value Of land, i'm
prove the social conditions In the coun-
try, and enable farmers to get better
prices for their products In that they
could get them TO market when prices
were high. Everybody believes we
should have good roads, but the people
are not active enough in their demands,
and not agreed as TO methods which
will insure effective action. There
needs 10 be concentration of effort, es-
pecially among the farmers, and agita-
tion and thought should be constant,
since both precede action. What prop
erly may be called good road is one on
which the farmer can haul heavy loads
during rainy weather. one In which
there are no ruts, washouts and bumpsi
one that is good when the weather is
bad, and over which a team may pull
an empty wagon without experiencing
that fatigue so common on the rough,
rutty. ragged roads which annually are
worked at large aggregate expense and
improved In general unevenness.--
