liver Addresses.
GOVERN MENT AID ASKED
Let the Money We Squander in the Philippines
be- Devoted 10 Road Building, Says Hogg
bryan PIeacs for the
farners.

ST. Louis. Mo, April 2S-At the sec
ond days session of the National and
International Good Roads Convention,
General Nelson A. Miles, who is presi-
dent of the National Highway Commits
sion, made an address on Military Roads
aud a National Highway" and said in
part:
"our government has expended $780,,
600 600 for the Improvement of our har
bors and water ways. and now the atten-
ton of the public is being called to our
postal roads and avenues of communica-
ton that are most useful and important
to all our people
IF such expenditures of the national
treasure have been made in the past
for the development of railroads and wa
ter ways, is it not now a most appro-
pirate time that the Improvement of our
roads should receive national 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 govern
ment He spoke of the insular policy of
the government and said if some of the
money that is being squandered in the
Philippines could be used here in the
Improvement of highways. our roads
would be in far better condition.
William j. Bryan spoke at the after
noon session, receiving an ovation. He
said in part:
1.-THE expenditure of money for the per-
manent Improvement of the common
roads can be defended, first as a mat
ter of justice to the people who live in
the country: second as a matter of adj
vantage to the people who do not live in
the country and third, on the ground
that the welfare of the nation demands
that the comforts of country life shall.
as far as possible keep pace with the
comforts of city life.
1T is a we'll known fact, or fact
easily ascertaihed, that the people in the
country while paying their full shares
of county State and Federal taxes, re-
ceive as a rule only the general bene-
FITS of government. while the people who
live in the city have in addition to the
protection afforded by the government the
advantage arising from the expenditure
of public moneys in their midst.
THE Improvement of the country roads
can be justified also on the ground that
the farmer, the first and most impor-
tant OF the producers of wealth, ought
to be in a position to hold his crop
and market it at the most favorable OPP
portunity, whereas, at present he is
virtually under compulsion to sell it as
soon as it is matured because the roads
may become impossible at any time dur
: ing the fall, winter or spring. Instead
of being his own warehouseman, the
farmer is compelled to employ middle
men and share with them the profit upon
his labor. The farmer has right, too,
to insist upon roads that will enable him
to go to town, to church. to the school
house and to the homes of his neigh
bors,as occasion may require, and with
the extension of rural delivery he has
an additional need for good roads in or
der that he may be kept in communica-
ton with the outside world"
