What The Brownlow Bill Will Do
For The Farmer

There is a bill introduced in
Congress by the Hon. Walter P.
Brownlow of Tennessee. and the
Hon Jacob ii Gallinger, member
of the Senate from New Hamp-
shire, appropriating s24. .000, 900 on
the part of the National Govern
ment as National aid in building
wagon roads. This money is to be
apportioned among the States ac
cording to their population, except
that no State shall receive lese
than S250,0O0.
Each State receiving National
aid from the Government must
add a like amount to the sum re.
ceiyed This will, therefore, cause
the spending of $4s.OOO.OO0 for
rosds and will build from 5000 to
1000 miles of splendid road and
will place IN each State from 100
to 500 miles of fine hard road,
which will not be affected by frost
or spring rains and on which the
farmer can haul the year round
1t will be a great advantage to
those living near it, but it will be
a far greater advantage to the
whole country because it will be a
wonderful object lesson and will
prove to everyone that good
b rd road which can be used the
year round, no matter what the
rains are, is good and desirable
thing; it will make everyone who
sees this road and who uses it want
more roads just like it, and it will
cause more roads just like it to be
built.
While under the Brownlow Bill
the building cf6.OOO to 1000 miles
of splendid road is a great thing,
yet it seems to many that the
greatest advantage of this bill is
the wonderful object lesson which
100 to 500 miles of fine road will
produce when built in every State
of the Union.

Is the National Government Going
to do Something for the Farmeri
The National Government gives
the rivers and harbors some $50,
600 year.
Itgives the cities great public
buildings, post offices, court houses,
etc.
Itgives manufacturers protection
by the tariff.
It gives its veterans and their
families SAC, ,Ooo, 600 year in pen
sions as it should
It has loaned its credit to private
individuals to build railways. and
given them grants of millions of
acres OF land.
1t has, however, done but little
for tie farmer and for agriculture.
The farmer is the backbone of
the country; it is he who feeds the
entire population, and he is no
longer satisfied with poor roads.
At last it seems as If the Nation
al Government was going to do
something for the farmer. A bill
b ,s been introduced in Congress
called the Brownlow Bill, which
appropriates $24, 600, 600 as nation.
al aid for the building of roads.
The farmer wants this bill to pass.
and he is determined that the Ma
tional Government shall do some
thing for him. ss well as for the
rest of it's citizens.
