Discussion of Important Question by
Commissioner Ferguson.
THE LAWS ARE lNEFFECTUAL

Information, Cultivation of Senti
ment, Superintendent by Quail
fled Road Builders, and Perma-
nent Work Will Do Good in Time.

In a monograph by Commissioner
j. A. Ferguson, of the bureau of
agriculture, labor and industry, the
question of good roads in Montana is
intelligently treated in many of its
phases. even to the item of cost of
transportation by dirt road and by
rail. Mr.. Ferguson deplores the gen.
eral lack of sentiment in the ques-
ton that is becoming of more and
more Importance each year, and gives
facts from the experience of other
states that show what can be done
il the sentiment of the people is with
the movement for better highways
He says:
"One of the most pressing ques-
lions now before the people of this
state, and must be settled, no mat
ter what others may be deferred, or
subject to change of methods with
every change of administration, is
the question of good roads. The sub

ITO remedy this state of affairs
some states have gone so far as to
send out road making trains carry
ing force of expert road builders
and giving practical demonstrations
of road making. In New Jersey
where the public roads are probably
the best of any. the plan is for the
state to supplement county appro
priations with an equal or greater
one from the state funds. the money
to be expended in permanent road
building. The president of the board
of agriculture of Missouri claims for
that state the best road law now in
existence. and the reports contain
much valuable information regarding
the building and care of the public
highways.
In Montana, We are all acquainted
with the efforts that have been made
to develop road system through
legislation. 1t seems plain that. so
far something is lacking. and it
seems equally plain that what is
lacking is not law. but sentiment.
We need to educate the people up to
the point where they will depend
more upon their own efforts than
upon the statute for their roads.
There should be in each road district
local organization of the residents
of that district, who should supple
ment the work of road supervisors.
Road making should be discussed at
the meetings of these organizations
and definite plan of work should be
adopted. portion of the money
ana labor available should be set
aside each year for permanent i'm
provements. The merchants of the
town where the farmers of the dis
trlct do their trading should be asked
To cooperate, and the matter should
also be taken up by the farmers in
stitutes. All work should be done
under the direction of the person
who is the most competent and quail
ned to do it, and each owner should
take especial pride in putting the
road passing his place in the best
possible condition. Provision should
be made for state help and the state
law should be so revised as to con.
tain only those provisions that would
tend TO make the work uniform and

that the fault is more in the Wagon
roads than in the railroads. There
are two policies which experience
suggests on this matter. One is OF

''The reports of the various good
roads commissions. as well as prac-
tical experience, show the cost of
team hauling to be governed almost
entirely by the conditions of the
roads. In many localities wagons
with wide tires are exempted from
taxation and their use is encouraged
in other ways, with the result of a
great deal of Improvement in the
roads. 1t is. however, with practical
road building that we should be most
concerned.
The almost universal working out
of road and poll tax has resulted in
some frfghtful abortions of road
building. If the figures above given
have any significance, it would seem
that they point with unerring GER
tainty to the necessity of lessening
the cost Of hauling by improving the
roads. Inspection of any country
read will demonstrate the fact that
they are at certain seasons of the
year almost impossible. Washouts,
culverts, gullies and ruts abound,
and as it is everyboiy's business to
look out for them, they are allowed
to continue in the same condition un-
til the road supervisor orders the
men to work out their taxes, when,
without any system, or with the
worst possible one, great deal of
time and money is expended, with

ject has received good deal of at
tention in the older states. and while
it has been the source of number
OF acts of the Legislature, it would
seem from the practical workings of
the various laws that they did not
supply solution of the matter
Much difficulty has been experienced
throughout the state in carrying out
the provisions of the present law con.
corning road supervisors, many re-
fusing to act, and in consequence the
roads have suffered.
1T would seem that it should be
the settled policy of those having
read work in charge to insist that in
every case, except emergencies, all
work done on the the roads should be
in the nature of permanent improve
ments. If there is a particularly bad
piece of road that should be fixed,
and fixed in such manner that with
with reasonable attention it would
not have to be fixed again. The bad
pieces and grades having been put in
hrst class condition. there should be
begun a systematic course of road
building, each county working upon
the same plan as roads of adjoining
counties, to the end that all work
throughout the state would be in
harmony, and would in time result
In system of roads that would be a
credit to the state, a great saving to
the farmers and increase the value
OF every acre of farm property.
Careful inquiry shows that the
average haul of the American farmer
in getting his produce to market or
the nearest shipping point is twelve
miles. The average cost per ton for
hauling over the common country
roads is 25 cents Fer ton per mile.
or So per ton for the II mile haul
Careful estimates also place the total
tons hauled at 300,O0O,OOO per year,
making total cost of getting the sur
plus to market or railroad 5000 OOO,-
600. This figure is greater than the
operating expenses of all the rail
roads. Estimates have been made in
some states as to the relative cost
of moving produce by wagon or rail,
and the result shows them to be
about equal. The average cost of
moving ton OF farm produce to
shipping points in IS counties in one
state is $40, while the average for
shipping by rail or water is 1927.

systematic, and would leave the wild
est possible range for localzoptior
in road building.
'tSystematic cooperation on the
part of the residents of a road dis.
trict, a full knowledge of the losses
caused by bad roads, and a thorough
determination on the part of each in
dividual to do his share of the work
will produce greater results than any
law that could be passed. The vast
extent of our roads and the sparsely
| settled conditions of the adjacent
| country effectively prevent the build
ing of such roads as prevail, for in
stance. in New Jersey, where the
cost of stone roads is from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile, one-tenth Of the cost
being borne by the abutting property,
one-third by the state and the bal
ance, Sc 2-3 per cent? by the county;
but there is no doubt that better re-
suits can be obtained for the money
and labor expended, and this should
be our object. Persistent agitation
circulation of information cultivation
ton of sentiment, personal care of
certain parts of the road, superin-
tendence by qualified road builders
of all work done, and permanent i'm
provement will do the work in time.
Il have not mentioned in this con-
nection what, in my personal opin-
ion, is a complete solution of the
road question, and that is the en-
ployment of convlcts upon the pub
lie roads, for the reason that the idea
of this article was more to arouse
public sentiment in the subject than
to offer solution. In all discussions
of the matter, however, this point
should not be overlooked or underes-
timated, but should be given the
place which it's Importance demands.
With our constitutional prohibition of
convict contract labor. this problem
itself will soon push forward for So
luton, and it may be possible in solv-
ing this problem the solution of the
other may be found as we'll.
las emphasizing the Indifference
of the people, who should be vitality
interested in the subject f good
roads, and the necessity of arousing
a healthy public sentiment upon this
question before any lasting improve
ments can be expected, it is only nee
essary to chronicle the fact that, al
though arrangements tad been com
pleted whereby a good roads train,
carrying expert road builders and all
modern machinery for making prac-
teal demonstrations in different To- |
calities of road building, would be |
sent over the entire line of the Great |
northern railroad, the plan had to
be abandoned after the train had |
been out few weeks, owing to the |
apathy of the people along the route |
could demonstrate more
clearly the fact stated above, that it |
is public sentiment in favor of good |
roads that is needed, rather than
legislation. 1t is true that this senti
ment can be fostered to a great ex-
tent by road law that would give
practical results in permanent road |
building, but any law to be effective |
must have public sentiment behind |
it, and be so constructed that people |
can at once become cognizant of it's
utility
