That's just the size of it. But
those who advocated ''hat sal

A Good Roads Suggestion.

Nearly every paper you read
nowadays, says the Pacific
Homestead, contains some refer
ance to the poor condition of
country highways. Here's
sample editorial from a Middle
West exchange, and in it is a
suggestion which may be of value
to Pacific Northwest farmers:
"The average farmer is by no
means stingy with his family or
himself when it comes to pur-
chasing the little 1uxuries that
apply to his home life and pro-
viding for his farm I'll those
modern inventions tha tend to
economic labor and t ne, but
when it comes to disl1ing out
money for improving tie roads
of his county, Or even 1is own
township, he is elose-hsted in the
extreme. Advocates OF the free
rural delivery system claimed
that its introduction would see
the country roads question solv-
ed. Rural delivery has pene-
trated the country, but to date
has not brought about the end
prophesied. The service has not
been in vogue long enough,
however. to have accomplished
such a gigantic task as improv-
ing the rural roads, SO judgment
should not be passed upon it.
The farmer should not rely upon
outside help to pave his own
highways. The benefits there
from, while of course shared by
the general public, accrue direct
ly to the man near whose place
the we'll built roads pass. All
the money spent in constructing
a frm-bedded highway is re-
turned to the farmer in a single
year through the increased valu-
alton of his land. Every one
knows that farm with broad,
hard road leading to some depot
or shipping station is worth
several dollars an acre more than
the same place with nothing but
a dinky, miry hog path leading
to the same destination. A prom
inent farmer talking on the SUBJ
ject declared that it was not so
much an aversion to building
good roads as it was an aversion
to paying taxes for the same that
made the average farmer hold
back when the proposition
of constructing county roads
came up. He also said that were
the tax question eliminated and
a law passed that every man
must build one substantial hard
bed road through his farm so as
to connect with a public high
way or county road, there would
be no strenuous objections raised
from any quarter and a few years
would see the road problem set
tied Tor good. IF such be the
true situation, the sooner each
farmer follows the suggestion,
he better.'
