ECONOMICS OF Ro4p IMPROVE.
MENT.

y 1t is unfortunate that so little atten.
ton is given to the economics of road
Improvement by the majority of our
people.
Highway Commissions road inves
legations by the United States depart
ment of agriculture and various states
nave established the fact that the
average cost OF hauling a ton one mile
IN the United States Is about 25 cents
The possible saving on transportation
over country roads is indicated by the
following data on cost of hauling.
Cost of moving one ton per mile:
On broken stone roads, dry and In
good order, cents.
On broken stone roads, in ordinary
condition 11.9 cents.
On earth roads containing ruts and
mud, SO cents.
On sandy roads when wet, 1926.
On sandy roads when dry, "a cents.
These figures show the saving due
TO road Improvement. and any intel.
ligent boy or girl can easily figure the
saving In marketing a crop A reduction
from 20 to ~ cents per ton, per mile.
would mean more than enough to
build good roads. By improving the
roads, much larger loads can be
hauled, involving a reduction I'm the
number of draft animals.
Grading the roads would mean a
further increase along the same line.
one of the greatest advantages
which improved roads have over poor
roads is, that farmer can deliver
MS produce to shipping points at all
seasons OF the year. This is especially
important to truck and fruit farmers.
The wear. and tear on teams due to
bad roads may seem trivial but a
wise farmer knows better-wagons do
not last long on bad roads.
An Increase in the value of farm
lands Is the inevitable result of any
Improvement in the roads, and the In.
crease has been found to be many
times the cost OF the road. This alone
Is sufficient reason for building good
roads statistics bear me out in this
assertion.
In conclusion, win say that have
read maoy articles on How to Make
Country Life More attractive:" How
to Keep Our Boys and Girls on the
rarm,' and such kindred subjects.
In reply to these, | will say: Build |
good roads. Bad roads are much to |
blame for this condition. AT present |
at certain seasons of the year. owing |
TO the condition of the roads. communi. |
cation between the country districts
and the rest of the world is practically |
cut off. Living apart as they do, social |
intercourse Is burdened with many in.
and 1t is no wonder that
so many farmers leave their homes
and move to town. This Is why so
many of our bright boys and girls
dislike the country life-are enticed
away by the attractions of the city,
and often are driven into unhealthy
occupations.
Rural delivery of the mails. and the
telephone, have done much in reliev-
ing the isolation of farm life, but the
of the rural delivery depends
argely upon the condition of the I
'oads. In many instances, II has been
seriously interfered with by the mis-.
'rable condition of the roads; and. I'm
iome Instances, routes have been sus.
lended
Our present state OF civilization and 5
advancement demands better roads. ,
md surely there Is no state nor coun.
ry so poor that IL cannot afford them

The Scientific Agricultural associa.

by the Junior and Senior Agricultur.

has been shown In the work from the
very first. There is no question as
to the benefit each active member

two weeks. Four men are put on the
program for talk at each melting and

on the program.
IL is not only the men who are on
the program who do the talking but
a general discussion always follows.
In these general discussion. ideas are
exchanged and good fellowship pro.

meetings are not limited to the infor.

Convention Nomination For
Senator Hepburn.

1t is coming near the time when
the Republicans of Idaho will have
to say something on the senatorial
question. Senator Hepburn has fill
ed bis place Eshorably and we'll.
He has not pleased everybody-he
has not tried to, and no other man
of self-respect would try to please
everybody. He has at all times,
however, been an open friend or an
open enemy of whatever cause was
up for discussion. Senator Hey
burn is better known in the east
perhaps than he is even in Idaho;
there, he stands as one of the big
gest men in Washington. He has
not been in personal accord with
the president at all times; but the
same can be said of La Toilette,
Hughes, and host Of other strong,
independent men who are too big to
follow even Roosevelt in all things
and still be true to themselves.
Idaho was perhaps not a unit in
selecting Hepburn; but we should
be a unit in recognizing the rare
ability, independence, honesty and
hard-won commanding position of
the senior senator. Idaho does not
want a Underlined sycophant, a
jollier, man who agrees with every
body; but man with opinions and
honesty, who will bring to bear his
best ability for the interest of the
state and country. There is no
reason to suppose that man of the
opposite type could ever get to rep
resent Idaho; but since the principal
fight made on Hepburn has been
that he is independent rather than
conciliatory, the state cannot afford
to risk letting him go for these very
reasons which are their own endorse
ment of his course.
The Journal would favor giving
Senator Hepburn the Republican
convention endorsement, in 50 un-
mistakable way that the senatorial
question will be taken away from
the legislature. Aside from the
gain to the state in again securing
Senator Hepburn, it will do away
with the customary bitter senatorial
fight in the legislature, and give
that body chance to work on laws
instead Of politics. We need this
even more than we need a senators
and the endorsement of Senator
Hepburn will bring the two good
things SO easily, that it seems the
only rational course to follow
Shoshone Journal.
The Owyhee nugget. ([Silver City], Idaho) 1905-1984, 1908-07-03

brighter than it is today. The
nomination of Secretary Taft at
Chicago would mean a continuation
Of the Roosevelt policies and be
more representative of the will of
the masses than any other presi-
dental nomination since the civil
war. Never before have so many
voters become intimately acquaint-
ed with party principles and poll
teal beliefs. That understanding
of the need Of a judicious and
painstaking revision of the existing
tariff schedules and of other planks
in the platform will result in Mr..
Taft's election by a majority almost
if not quite as large as that given
to President Roosevelt four years
ago.
From present indications Idaho
will be solidly Republican with
factionalism and personal bitter
ness almost eliminated from the
/
party. No other man in Idaho
could take the place that Senator
Hepburn has held and fill it as
Senator Hepburn has done. A
man who never swerves from his
convictions he has become a domi-
nant figure in national as well as
in state affairs and will no doubt
be returned to his present post Of
duty. Congressman French has
no opposition worthy Of mention
and will probably be renominated
by reclamation and reelected by a
vote that will give evidence of the
high esteem in which he is held by
his constituents. State Chairman
James H. Brady for governor will
be an easy winner both at the state
convention and at the polls. The
other state officers remain as yet in
doubt. Some of the present en-
cumbents should be returned, not
ably Miss Chamberlain, superin-
tendent of schools, who has been
one of the best officers who ever
occupied an office in the state
house at Boise.
In the various counties as in
Latah county the people will scan
carefully the record of those who
are to be nominated and elected.
1t will be a case of the best man
winning in both events. Public
opinion has become enlightened
to an extent that enables the
people to demand OF their party
the nomination of strong, clean
men. The party which fails to
present the names of such men
for local Offices will suffer defeat.
Ii the Republicans of Latah coun-
ty, following in the wake of the
cleanest and most business-like
administration of the county's
affairs since the county was form
ed, nominate a clean ticket, they
