THE ROAD QUESTION.

The Register and Leader has prac-
ideally elimina ted the dirt road from
its discussion of the highway problem
and takes the T.-R. to task for the
assertion that the best Iowa can hope
for in the near future is sensible
and scientific Improvement of our dirt
roads. The Des Moines paper has APP
parently settled upon policy of hard
roads for the state. 1t believes the
farmers are ready to pay for them
If they are ever to be ready. 1t calls
Iowa and the ability OF its farms to
bear taxation for good roads. Most
Of the Registers contention is true
The T.-R. believes in the hard road
quite as thoroughly as does it's con-
temporary. Iowa real estate is rich
enough to bear the burden, but the
average Iowa land holder Is not ready
to assume it 1t is not so much a
question of what should be done as of
thing or nothing. There is no general
hard road sentiment in the rural dis
tricts, but Ane directly opposed. They
cost too much. The agriculturalists
1 must be given. time to absorb and APP
prove the hard roads idea. The issue
Is not to be forced. And until that
time we must build drain and improve
cur dirt roads.
The good roads question especially
ciudes the drainage problem. There
can be no permanent roads of what
ever character constructed until drain
age of adjoining farm lands has been
accomplished and this can not be done
thoroughly until changes in the drain
age laws have been made. A properly
drained and graded dirt road is usually
good most of the time and passable at
all times But to drain the roadway,

Is done no stone road will stay on top
of Iowa mud. and when it has been
done and the grading finished, such
communities as desire permanent
highways, will have little to add ex-
cept the stone or gravel. The con-
struction of good dirt roads is the first
step toward permanent ones.
