Favor National Ali Plan.

Iowa is rapidly coming TO the front
In the campaign of education and or
ganization for road improvement. At
the Dies MONIES good roads convention
resolutions were adopted favoring ma
tional aid In cooperation with states.
counties and municipalities in n gen.
eral scheme for road Improvement
One OF the arguments advanced In IA
vor OF the national aid plan IL that IL
Will tend to equalize the distribution
OF the funds appropriated by congress.
II is pointed out that. while a large
part Of the revenues collected by the
federal government comes directly or
indirectly from the farming population.
only very small per cent OF the ap-
preparations IL spent I'm the rural dis
tricts. The spending OF national funds
for building and improving highways
would relieve this injustice to some ex-
tent and would tend to stimulate the
farmers interest In public affairs more
than almost anything the government
could do.

HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT.

what Various States Are Doing to
Secure Good Roads.
Many states are now spending mil
lions Of dollars every year in the i'm
provement Of public highways. There
are state road improvement associa-
lions In twenty-four states. highway
commissions in eleven s,ates. and the
National Good Roads association L.
represented in twenty-seven states.
Seine states have neither state road
improvement laws nor is any effort
made to improve the roads unless ne
cessity compels the farmers and mer-
chants to act in unison to preserve an
equilibrium OF the market.
New Jersey now has the best roads
and Missouri perhaps the worst. says
writer In the Horseman. New Jer-
sey has recently expended $3.50. 600 In
road improvements and built 200 miles
Of new roads. Missouri raises more
farm products than any state in the
Union and has 10000 miles Of roads.
80 per cent of which are impossible
five months in twelve. Some eastern
and few Of the southern states have
increased their road appropriations and
are now spending goodly sum for
road building and repairing.
There are now about $4,000 road Off
Gals in the United States. nine national
good roads associations and any num-
Der Of local organizations. The Ma
tional Good Roads association, fore
most in the fight for better highways.
Is doing an excellent work under the
direction OF w. III. Moore and X. w.
Richardson, the first men to secure the
running OF good roads train" A
number Of states have annual appro-
priations. but great deal OF the pub
lie improvement is done by farmer
capitalists, who have lon; ago realized
the economics Of the good roads prob
lem.
Highway commissions have lately
been created in Michigan and North
Carolina, while Massachusetts. Indi-
ana. Minnesota, Pennsylvania. Tennes-
see. Mississippi and Missouri have pro-
vided for the issuance Of bonds for
road improvement and bridge building
along the country highways. In Ne
braska, Oklahoma and Minnesota road
taxes have recently been made payable
In cash. and the money - Immediately
expended in road Improvements Wide
tire laws have gone into effect i'm Con-
necticut. Indiana, Mime sofa. Califor-
MIA. Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.
The states Of Indiana antl Peansylva-
MIA have passed laws fixing the weight
OF loads to be hauled o-cr country
roads so as to prevent tl.cir heing cut
into by excessively loaded wagons.
Thus Ii is that the fight fo- 4 better
system Of country roads is being
waged.

WORTHY OF EMULATION.
Judge Falconer's Novel Plan to Sc
cure Good Roads,

cure Good Roads.
Judge W. A. Falconer OF Fort Smith,
Ark. has applied the principle of state
aid In new way. says the Good Roads
Magazine. AS state aid IL not yet
forthcoming in Arkansas. though it
will soon be provided for. Judge Fal-
coner put himself in the states place
and offered to donate $500 to that
one Of the four most important roads
in the township which would raise the
largest bonus to obtain it.
One road raised $3.50 in guaranteed
cash subscriptions in addition to the
engineering work and unlimited guam
titles Of stone. To the road coming
next in this friendly contest the judge
offered dollar for every dollar it
would raise. provided II would raise as
much as $1,000 by April I. That road
had on March s. I'm cash and i'm checks
payable April 1, $500 and expected
to raise SIO0 or $500 more.
Judge Falconer has done more than
help Fort Smith to get good roads. He
has set an example that may well be
emulated throughout the nation.
