WANTS GOOD ROADS.
The National Grange Endorses the
BrownIow Bill.

The National Grange IndOrses the
BrownIow Bill.
The farmers are class conservative
In their views and slow to move They
do their thinking first and their talk
ing afterward For some reason the
farmers of this country have been read
ing and thinking about road improve
ment and the best way to secure that
much desired result They have con-
sidered local taxation and labor as the
means Of building good roads and have
found this long tried plan to be fail
ure except in limited localities. They
have studied the state aid plan and OBJ
served the great advance made under
it. Finally they have been studying
the question of national aid and they
appear to have concluded that ''it is
the way they long have sought and
mourned because they found it not"
At any rate, that fine, conservative old
farmers organization, the Patrons of
Husbandry, commonly spoken of as
1.-The grange" in its national meeting
unequivocal declaration:
Whereas, The United States government
has expended vast amounts of money in
the Improvement of transportation facili-
ties by river and harbor appropriations
and has donated vast tracts of valuable
land in aid of the construction of rail-
roads; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the national grange IA
vors the inauguration of national policy
for the Improvement Of highways and
the appropriation by congress of a liberal
amount to establish a comprehensive sys-
tenn of road improvement through the CO.
operation of the federal and state gov
ernments suggesting that the general
features of what is termed the Brownlow
bill embody. with some notifications, the
essential features of such a policy.
Resolved, That we call upon all state,
Pomona and subordinate oranges to take
prompt and vigorous action upon this i'm
pOrtant matter, and we hereby authorize
the legislative committee of the national
grange to inaugurate and conduct an ag
gressive campaign in securing federal aid
for Improvement of highways; also that
our legislative committee be authorized to
gather all the information possible re-
garding the road laws and systems of
road building in the several states and that
such information be published in such
form as the committee deems best.
These resolutions will set in motion
a vast force that moves slowly, but ir-
resistibly, for it must be remembered
that the national grange usually gets
what 1t goes after, whether it is a state
freight rate law, the creation of ma
tional department of agriculture or the
passage of an oleomargarine bill. This
ment the Brownlow bill has yet re-
ceiyed.
The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1904-03-04
Convict Labor In Pennsylvania.

The people and officials of Washing
ton county, Pa, are we'll pleased with
the plan of working jail prisoners on
the public roads, which has been in OPP
GRAFTON about two months and has
proved its feasibility and advantages,
says Good Roads Magazine. The pris-
oners are pleased with it also and well
come the days when they march to the
stone quarries or the roads They of
course receive no pay for their work,
but their fines are RENTED, so that
they only have to work out their time
sentences. The work Is done under
contract with the township Of South
Strabane, which pays 81 q day for the
services of the necessary guards, fur
niSheS dinner to the prisoners and pays
transportation charges if the work is
more than two miles from the jail It
costs the township about Is cents a
perch for quarrying the stone, which is
then crushed by a stone crusher and
placed on the roads by the prisoners
This work is not in competition with
free labor, but takes the place Of the
old method Of working out the road
tax by the farmers and with far better
results, as the roads so built are perma-
nently improved
