THE NEW ROAD LAW

It's Provisions Should be Mandatory In
stead Of Optional
Notwithstanding the fact that the
new road law is pretty generally and
heartily supported by the press of the
state, 1t seems evident that quite long
and vigorous campaign of education
will be necessary before public senti-
ment In farming communities will be
favorable to its adoption. For a pro-
gressive people we are certainly slow
in some respects to give practical effect
to new ideas. 1t Is at least questionable
whether the adoption of any measure
designed to work q genuine and radi-
cal reform i'm methods of road cOnstruc-
ton should be made optional with the
people. If the new law possesses the
merits which are claimed for 1t its
adoption should he made mandatory
in every county. The West coast Trade
in q recent issue says of it:
"GOOd roads are admitted in the alb
stract to be desirable acquisition and
necessary to the greatest possible de-
velOpment of the community, but
practically every step taken in the
direction of systematic work upon the
highways meets with pronounced OPP
position. It is evident that the new
road law passed by the last legislature
is not to receive general adoption
among the various counties of the
state. In at least one it has been badly
defeated, and in other cases objections
are being raised, calculated to produce
similar results. Most serious sources
of opposition arise from the provision
that the county commissioners shall
supervise all road work, it being urged
that certain districts would thus be
deprived Of their proper share of atten.
ton, while another is the collection OF
the road tax in CASH and the hiring of
labor for necessary construction and
improvement. Both objections are de.
fensible, but they are, nevertheless,
opposed to advancement and cOmpre.
hensive, systematic construction work.
So long as the time. lOnored, haphaZard
methods of road work are continued 1t
Is recognized that our highways will
never show real progress i'm point of
efficient means Of communication,
while much of the labor OH them Is so
misdlrected as to be comparatively
useless. The campaign Of education
started by the good-roads league In
this state seems to have spent itself in
the passage of the county option law,
and the advantages of adopting the
system are not being set forth as they
should he by the promoters"
