st. Louis, Special.-At the second
days session of the National and In
ternational Good Roads Convention,
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is president
Of the national highway commission,
made an address on Military Roads
and National Highway" and said in
part: Our government has expended
$500.000,000 for the improvement of
our harbors and waterways. and now
the attention of the public is being
called to our postal roads and ave-
nues, Of communication that are most
useful and important to all our peo-
pie. II such expenditures Of the ma
tional Treasury have been made in the
past for the development Of railroads
and waterways. is it not now a most
appropriate time that the improve
ment of our roads should receive ma
tional attention and, governmental
aid?"
Ex-Governor Hogg, OF Texas.
pointed out the necessity for good
roads. which, he believed, could be
secured only through the aid of the
national government. He spoke Of the
insular policy of the government, and
said if some money that is being
squandered in the Philippines could
be used here in the Improvement Of
the highways, our roads would be in
far better condition.
VIM. ]. Bryan spoke at the after
noon session, receiving an ovation. He
said in part: "The expenditure of
money for the permanent improvement
Of the common roads can be defend.
ed, first as matter Of justice to the
people who live in the country;
second as a matter Of advantage to the
people who do not live in the country,
and third On the ground that the well
fare Of the nation demands that the
comforts of country life shall. as far
as possible, keep pace with the COM
forts of city life. 1t is a we'll known
fact Or fact easily ascertained that
the people in the country, while pay
ing their full share Of county, State
and Federal taxes. receive as q rule
only the general benefits of govern
ment, while the people in the cities
have, in addition, Good streets, side
walks. etc.
The improvement Of the country
roads can be justified also on the
ground that the farmer. the first and
most important Of the producers Of
wealth. ought to be in position to
hold his crop and market it at the
most favorable opportunity, whereas
at present he is virtually under COM
pulsion to sell 1t as soon as it is ma
tured because the roads may become
impossible st any time during the
fall, winter or spring. Instead Of be-
ing his own warehouseman. the fer
mer is compelled to employ middlemen
and share with them the profit upon
his labor. The farmer has right, too,
to insist upon roads that will enable
him to 60 70 town, to church, to the
school house and to the homes Of his
neighbors as occasion may require,
and with the extension Of rural deliv-
cry as he has an additional need for
good roads in order that he may be
kept in communication with the out
side world"
