FATHERS VACATION

Everybody takes a vacation bu
father"
One of the city daili9s printed a
cartoon the other day with the
sentence given herewith beneath
It was amusing and true to a partial
extent to only a certain class of
society.
In certain circles of American So
ciety there is an annual summer
exodus of wives who form the
piazza brigade of the summer hotels,
of sons who go the pace at swell re-
sorts, and of daughters who go
abroad while the head of the family
tugs at the wheel of business to
furnish the funds.
But there is another picture as
true.
There are families where the
tired and nervous mother needs
rest and relaxation. The family
purse permits of no splurge for
show purposes. Wife and children
90 away for time to some modest,
quiet place where mother can rest
from household cares and the chill
dren can romp in the pure air and
good sunshine.

STATE AID FOR HIGHWAYS.

One-half of the states of the
Union have recognized the fact
that good roads are a matter OF
statewide Importance, not to loca-
significance entirely, and are aiding
the counties and country districts
TO construct good permanent high
ways. The states pay various per-
centages Of the cost of building the
roads, ranging from one quarter in
Ohio to three-quarters in Massachu-
sets, Connecticut and Pennsylvania
and all roads built in this way are
build under the supervision Of the
states trained engineers. Seven
teen of these state spent all together
about five million dollars of state
money in aiding in road building in
1905.
This principle Of State Aid has
been recognized in Europe for
many years, and the effect is seen
in the almost perfect systems of
roads which exist in many countries.
1t remained for New Jersey to start
the ball rolling on this side of the
Atlantic in 1892, and since that
time there are twenty-five states
shat adopted the same policy. These
are New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Vermont, Connecticut, Now York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado,
Washington, Idaho, Utah and
California.
Although Wisconsin is entirely
surrounded by states that are Civ
ing money to aid in building per-
manent county roads, it is doing
nothing in this line itself, and ap-
pears to be considerably behind its
neighbOrs. This state has had a
handicap in the shape of a consiti-
6utional provision, which was de-
signed to prevent the state from
running itself in debt to help build
railroads, fOrbidding the appropria-
1tiOn Of money for internal improve
ments, This was a wise act at that
time, but has Outgrown. The last
Legislature passed an act to amend
Ghe constitution SO as to permit the
state to aid in road building. This
must pass the next legislature and
chen be favorably voted on by the
people before it can take effect. In
the mean time the State Geological
Survey is collecting information
regarding the roads to find out what
is most needed in the way Of state
aid.
When the constitution is changed
50 that the state can appropriate
money to AID road building Wiscon-
sin will be in an exceptionally
fortunate position. On account of
the new railroad tax the state in
come will be large enough to pay
Its regular running expenses and
whatever is needed for roads with !
out being obliged to levy a general
state tax.
