most while away was that no matter
where one may go in France he finds
the very best Of roads," said the Hon.
william Flynn In an interview pub
lished In the Pittsburg Times. II had
an excellent opportunity to observe that
fact while on my way from Paris to
Aix.lcs- Bains. We made the Journey Of
425 miles In an automobile, taking the
trip by easy stnges and reaching Ak
les Bains three days later. For miles
are on straight line, and every foot
of the way we found TO be In the very
best OF condition. II seems that In
France they are far ahead OF our coun-
try In taking care OF their roads.
''Iioadmnklng In France Is handled
very differently from the way II is
handled In this country. For instance,
repairs are made to the roads there
long before the appearance Of the road
would indicate that any immediate re
pairs were needed. or course the roads
there nrc very old and are well cured,
30 th-, with their present method OF
repairs It is a comparatively easy mat
ter TO keep them In the best of condi.
tlon.

but Notwithstanding that fact the roads
are not allowed to suffer from neglect
The roads are maintained by what are
called departments there. which In our

II Is no uncommon thing for one to
travel hundreds OF miles and not find n
single hole or rut In any pNrt OF the

FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS
Cost of Hauling Farm Products over
Country Highwaya.

Cost of Hauliag Farm Products over
Country Highways.
The advocates Of good roads will find
plenty Of arguments In the recent re-
port Of the industrial commission on
the marketing and distribution Of farm
ing products. This report shows the
value Of good country roads and the
immense saving that could be effected
through them. 1t also furnishes argu-
ments In favor Of the construction OF
electric lines through the farming sec
tons of the country not only for the
hauling Of passengers, but for the haul
ing Of freight
The report shows that the cost OF
hauling farm products over country
roads is s9o0,000.O0o year, or more
than the entire cost OF operating all the
railways In the United States, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. The
total operating expenses OF railroads is
estimated at only $SlS,00O,0OO annual
ly. The average haul to the nearest
rniDDlub AiiN
Of farm products is twelve miles, and
the average cost is % cents a ton
mile, or SO ton for the twelve miles.
BY comparing this ton mile cost with
the average ton mile revenue OF the
railroads In the country, which amounts
10 7 mills a mile, the immense oppor-
tunity for saving that would be effect
ed through good roads may readily be
seen. II farm products could be hauled
10 market at mills a ton mile, as is
the case with railway traffic, the en-
tire charge for transportation would be
less than $2G,000,000 as compared with
the S900.O00,000 II costs the farmers to
haul their products over ordinary roads.
The building Of good roads and the
construction OF electric lines VIII mean
an enormous saving to the farming
classes. Some Of the advocates Of good
roads believe that the two could be
constructed jointly, as the cost would
be proportionately less for the building
OF good wagon roads, which could also
be used for electric railways. These
electric railways could be constructed
through those sections Of the farming
community which would offer the best
possibilities In the way Of freight and
passenger traffic returns, and wagon
roads could be built connecting these
with all sections Of the country. The
farmer who did not live on the direct
line Of an electric railway could haul
his freight TO the nearest point. where
It could be quickly transferred to an
electric train.
