The necessity of building and
maintaining good roads, through
out the country; their worth to
inland commerce and their bear
ing on the energy and comfort
of the great rural population are
of such tremendous Importance,
Of such wide scope that we may
all look forward to the time
when Congress will be compelled
to make some provisions to aid
in this great work. That the
public highways are most miser-
able and that they naturally in
crease the cost of living in nearly
every section of country is hard
ly debatable, that the building
of macadam roads would make
country life more desirable, and
hasten rural development can
not be disputed, and that the
cost to accomplish such an end
is too heavy for the country peo-
pie is likewise a fact, apparent
to all. Facing the Importance
and worth to every State and to
the Nation it is therefore a Ma
tional necessity and ought to be-
come one of the most important
propositions of internal improv-
ment that Congress could con-
slider. Largely the building Of
desirable roads is a local PROPOSE
ton, the same is true Of the i'm
provement of our water courses,
but both are interviewer with
National prosperity and great
ness We do not believe in
placing the entire burden on the
National, State or county gov
eminent, neither do we believe
in placing it alton the rural popu-
lation, but on all, for in the end
all are to share in the great
blessings that would result there
from. Why not the country peo-
pie and the country press of
Kentucky jointly work to bring
this proposition before Congress?
1t Congsess could be induced to
appropriate given amount to
every State that would put up
two for one or five for one it
may be deemed wise and just
there would be a great awaken
ing throughouts the land. If
such aid could be secured on
such proposition then the State
could distribute it on a similar
proposition to the counties. In
so doing no State nor no county
would be given an undue advan-
tage nor none be excluded from
an equitable distribution. The
localities would be stimulated,
their energies enlivened, and
public spirit developed. The
Congressman of this State could
make a strong introduction of
this proposition if demanded by
the people. If such aid is ever
received it must be sought by
the people, it must be demanded
by those whose homes are now
hedged in by mud from four to
six months every year.
