CITYS RESPONSIBILITY
OBLIGATION OF THE CITY In ROAD I'M
PROVEMENT.
Address on Good Roads, Delivered by Hon.
Lafe Young Of Des Moines Before Good
Roads Commission.

AS understand this problem it is
TO benefit everybody. There is not a
man or woman in the state that would
not be benefited by better condition
of roads. | do not know why the
people of Iowa have been so long
going after this matter of good roads
unless it is on the same principle as
the action of the man who wakes up
in the middle of winter night
shivering with cold, and with the
bed clothing within five feet of him
shivers for the remainder OF the night
rather than get up and pnt them on
his bed. Iowa has been shivering for
two generations for good roads. and
all the time she has had the material
right at hand to make them. When
our ancestors first came to this
country they found the prairies with
no roads at all and they travelled
wherever they wished. In time roads
were built up but no great care was
taken of them. We have expected the
roads to take care of themselves as
water does, but roads do not do that
1t is the duty of every person to keep
up the roads at least along the lines
of his property, but we have not done
this, and everyone is guilty. 1t is
singular thing that the town man
and the city man must be the agitator
for better roads. presume it is on
the same theory that the invention of
the cotton gin was made by man
who had had nothing to do with the
raising of cotton, and in the same
way many inventions have been made
in certain lines in which the inventor
has not been in that profession. In
ventions in many departments have
been by men out of that business, and
we have at times waited until things
have been forced upon us before we

has an interest in good roads. In
every country community there should
be good roads clubs organized. They
should take good roads literature.
This is an age of organization. In
Des Moines there are scores of organ
izations for the purpose OF securing
local public improvements, protection
against high water, etc. There is one
Improvement club in the Southeast
part of the city of Des Moines that
has met regularly once week for
three years Their meetings are held
in the fire station. They light their
pipes and discuss the needs of their
part of the city. Through their in
fluence, a fax amounting TO over
$500, 600 has been voted by the people
to build levies to protect the low
lands from high water. Except for
their organization, the tax would not
have been voted. | cite this as an
illustration of what small organiza-
tions can do Every township in
every county should have good
roads club III Warren county, south
of Des Moines. there is an organiza-
ton of farmers and they have annu-
ally offered premiums for good roads
and under that impulse, good roads
have been made. In every county
seat in Iowa, there should be good
roads organization, one that would
work patiently and long TO accomplish
results. This is a long fight. The
work has been neglected. For many
years we travelled across the prairies
without roads. And we learned to
look upon the prairies as our common
property like air and water. When
there was mud hole, we drove a
mile around it. Fences now interfere
and mud holes must be taken care of.
l am opposed TO the general govern
ment contributing money for good
roads in the several states. The gen.
eral government has enough to do
without undertaking such task. In
Iowa it is our business to attend to the
roads. Enough money is annually
spent in Iowa TO give us good roads.
Colonel Baker has told us the facts
about our public expenditures. We
need better system and above all
things we need township officials who
will do their duty. Formerly road
working was considered a joke, a
sort of frolic No man was expected
to do days work. He was working
out his taxes. He was working for
the state. Road making must be re-
duced TO business basis.
There ought TO be one good road
built across Iowa from the Mississippi
to the Missouri and that road ought

accepted them. Our railroads furnish
us with a good example of this. They
waited for twenty years for some good
scheme TO present itself in regard to
the selling of tickets. and when it
came, it had TO be forced upon them
by law. Many other things have been
forced upon them by the law, and
they have profted by them and after
wards recognized their advantages. 1t
has been and is the same with the
question of good roads. Those who
need the roads, those who use the
roads, and those TO whose existence
roads are Necessary and for whose
benefit they are, have failed to do any
thing, while we so-called town re-
formers must agitate for good roads.
People have been going away from
Iowa and not coming back We want
TO stop the movement-we want the
people to remain in our good state.
We need the young men on the farms.
We do not want Iowa TO become a
state of tenant farmers. There is too
much idle land in the state already.
The waste lands along the roads and
highways must be put into use. The
gross products Of Iowa agriculture
could be doubled by better cultivation.
In order to have this better cultiva-
ton, we must keep the young men
on the farm. Some day they will be
coming back TO Iowa looking for the
patches of ground that are now going
TO waste. But. you will say what
has this TO do with good roads? Well,
l will say, awaken an interest in good
roads. ana the young men will go to
work at them. and when they go TO
work. we will get good roads.
would go farther and advocate more
attention to the house on the farm
and the few acres Immediately around
the house. In other words, would
make the farm homes more attractive.
Greeley said the way TO resume was
to resume. say the way to get good
roads is TO get them. They should be
made out OF dirt. the same dirt as is
now on the highway. The people of
Iowa cannot afford macadam roads.
They have not the money TO spare.
Dirt roads can be made TO answer
every purpose for many years.
Colonel Baker in his work around
Council Bluffs which we have seen
today, has demonstrated what can be
done with dirt roads.
Cities and towns have some respon.
sibility in connection with the good
roads problem. They can do much to
advance the movement. Every
country merchant, every opponent of
the mail order houses in every village
