Australia and New Zealand countries newer than our
own, less popuous, and with nothing like aggre.
gate wealth The fact that the of the world has
good roads while have bad ones is significant; II
shows that the plan we have been pursuing has
been successful In three hundred years less than
eight per cent of the highways of country have
been permanently improved and at the rate 60
Ing 1t would require nearly four thousand years to
complete the job, So roadbuders the people of
the United States have been failure.
This is all the more surprising when consider
that they are consp!cuousy successful in every other
line of human endeavor. Millions upon millions OF
dollars have been in every state in the union
upon the public roads by ill.timed msdrected eff
fort and with really very little to show for the ex.
penditure, 1t is only within the last ten fifteen
years that any real progress has been made along the
line of permanently improving the conditions.
The trouble Is we have been endeavoring to
ange the snar by pulling the wrong string Without
for doing the farmers of the country from
Maine to California, from the very first assumed that
the country roads belonged to them and it their
business to improve them, and this misconcepon held
sway for nearly 300 years.
A few years ago a man in New Jersey made a dis
covery 1t that the highways public property,
much so as the state house. This raised the ques-
ton: why, If the highways public property should
the public take of its why should the
state and all property therein contribute to building
the roads," Everybody is interested in them, every.
body affected through the markets by the road
ditions they benefited by good roads and injured
by bad The thought spread throughout the
state and finally New Jersey led the way to better
ditions by passing law by which the state should
tribute onethird the money required to improve the
roads Other states followed, increasing the proper
ton to one-half and in case, Massachusetts, to
threefourths.
In many Of the New England states farm
property only very small portion of the total taxable
property In not ten per cent and when the
cost of road improvement distributed all prop
erty Of the state, the burden hardly felt and yet
immense sums were raised for road purposes, Best

instead OF leaving 1t to the inexperienced hands

and then finally pay off the bonds will hardly be

to their immense list of taxable property.
Ohio after 40 years of building roads by the old
plan of local taxation and bond issues in which the
farmer had to pay practically the whole bill, has

Virginia Is the first southern state to join the
state aid column for good roads Kentucky is alive to
the situation and is taking steps change its constl

over all the property in the state.
In certain parts of the country, notably in the Mis-
sissippi valley, there is an entire misconcepon to
what the state aid plan of road building means. Some
imagine the state would take control of the highways
build expensive roads and tax the people to pay for
them; others that II is scheme road building
