The Reason For bad Roads.


A large number of farmers living in
one road district Of Jackson county, in
Missouri, appeared recently before the
county court at Independence to COM
plain of the bad roads and of the work
Of the overseers, says the Kansas City
Star. There were any number of griev-
ances exploited-"The road district is
too big" ''The roads are getting worse
instead of better" ''It takes four horses
to get anywhere with a load;;" 'The
neighbors dodge their poll taxes" The
trouble with that road district, as with
all others In Missouri where ''it takes
four horses to get anywhere" is that
the farmers want good roads without
paying for them. They will pay the
cost Of that extra pair Of horses, wear
out their wagons and keep their prod
uce from a ready market as q payment
for bad roads and yet not pay small
tax for good roads. Under a new law
of Missouri farmers in a district OF
their own creation can build any kind
Of a road or roads they desire, from
the well packed "dirt' variety to mae.
adam highways, by issuing bonds and
assessing the property a small percent
age each year to pay them off. But
neither that law nor any other can pro-
vide good roads unless they are paid
for.

being wrought in the class Of counties
alluded to it is confidently believed that
their number will soon be largely in
creased.
The nonacting have been quick to see
and to acknowledge the superior wis
dom Of those that determined to give
extra and systematic attention to their
roads. They have begun to realize that
first class roads, good in winter as in
summer, are in many respects as neces-
sary almost as public schools; that good
roads contribute to larger and more
uniform attendance at the schools and
enhance the value of property month
by month and year by year.
Very naturally, persons who are look
ing out for a more hospitable climate
than rules in the section of which they
are now citizens feel a deep interest in
this question Of good roads. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the county and the
state which are expanding intelligently
and effectually extra effort in working
out system of good roads will attract
quickest the largest number of home

An Argument For Good Roads.

The ancient story Of the teamster
probing with a fence rail for the wagon
and horses he had lost in the mud OF
an Ohio road is recalled by the state
ment that the sheriff and detectives OF
West Pennington, o., have been IN
able to get over the fifteen miles OF
road between that place and the place
where a wanted" man is staying, be
cause no horses can be obtained at any
price on account Of the terrible condl-
ton of the roads, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Until the unfathomable
mud freezes, it is claimed, justice will
remain powerless. That is an incident
not to be lost sight of by the apostles
of the good roads movement.

How Her Neglected Highways Are
Being Improved.
Throughout the state Of Georgia spe-
cial efforts are being made in the fur.
therance Of good roads in each county
and within a reasonable time 1t Is be-
l1eved every county seat in the state
Will be in direct connection with every
other county seat and with the state
capital by a system of good roads that
will deserve to be denominated as pub
lie highways, says the Auto Advocate
and Country Roads.
Under an act passed by the general
assembly Of the state in 1903 each coun.
ty is given the option Of working on the
public roads or public works all con
victs of term of five years or less eX-
cept women and others not able to dc
hard work.
The net proceeds of the hire of con
victs go to swell the school fund Of the
state, SO the counties which elect To
work their five year convicts on the
public roads or on the public works OF
such counties cannot share in that part
Of the school fund that comes from the
hire of convicts. A county having cho-
sen to accept it's share Of the school
fund rather than attempt to build up
public roads by convict labor, or vice
versa, must adhere to that policy for a
term of two years.
A large number of counties deter
mined upon the 'new departure" offer
ed them and since January, 1904, have
been theoretically addressing them
selves to the work Of transforming long
neglected public roads into beautiful
highways. So great a transformation is

State Aid In Road building.

Sixty of the sixty-seven counties in
Pennsylvania have taken advantage Of
state aid in road building. About 300
applications have been filed with the
department. Seventy-one mills Of high
way have been completed, 1875 miles
are under construction, and 33 miles
are prospected. The point that is the
most significant, perhaps, of the enthu-
siasm Of the people in this direction is
the claim made by about one-half the
counties to the leadership in the work
Of Improvement.
