FOR GOOD ROADS.
Problems That Must BE solved to
Get Them

Road building in Texas presents a
problem that is far from being solv-
| ed The material for road improve
| ment and the labor with which to
prosecute It are elements that are
available only to a scanty degree in
! the most favored county in the State.
and that are both wanting in many
counties Roads can not be built
without rock, gravel, teams, imple-
ments and labor TO import mater
ial by railroad is now impracticable
because of the cost Of transportation.
u is probable that concerted effort
ON the part OF those in the several
counties where the road movement
has taken root to secure special rates
for hauling road material for public
use would meet with success. The
railroads have more than any single
interest to gain by the building Of
roads throughout the country, which
viii stimulate increased production
1t would be a shrewd business move
on their part 70 haul the material for
this purpose for the actual cost OF
the train crews engaged in the work.
- Lhe-J ahoE .ntpblem is the most dit
fiCult one connected with the road
question TO raise funds by taxa
ton for the work of road construc-
ton would exhaust the credit of any
comfy other than one of unusual
wealth, and is wholly impracticable
| except in a few cases. The old plan
of working the people of each pre-
| cinct on its roads has its disadyan-
taees, but they may be minimized by
suitable regulations. The proposal has
often been made 10 employ short

The Democratic party of Mesa
county is entering upon the most
vigorous campaign in its history. II

ability. Every section of Mesa
county is represented. and 1t will be

1t costs money to conduct cam
paign. The Democratic party has not
only declared against corporate con-
troll, but 1t has cut loose from cor
porate domination of all kinds and in
doing so has refused the contents of
the corporate purse. In short this Is
to be a campaign "of the peope, for
the people and by the people," and
to make 1t such a campaign we want
every Democrat, and every other man
whatever his political belief, whose
purse and conscience win permit, to
contribute the sum OF S1.00 for LE-
