he had heard a great deal of a "Groa tcI

Influences that is the voters of the state
He said that S9jc.oOo,co0 were spent ii
this country for hauling freight on our
roads which would he reduced onc-hali
by building such roads as the European
countries have. He said it would cost
about 5000 to build mile of macada
mi7ed road and he would advocate spend
ing from $4,000 10 $4,000 each year fol
roads across the State from Lake Cham
plain to the Connecticut river.
To meet the expense of this he would
save money by cutting down the curren,
state expenses. In 1871 the State OK
ponscs were $3.50 COO in ISL. 5000 in 1921
Sijl 900. and in 1901, S635 90 an increase OF

increased only about per cent. during
