State Road Improvement

In letter to this paper commend
ing its arguments in favor Of CON
structive policy of high way improve
ment by the StAte, Mr. J Fl Weeks
the chairman of the Good Roads
Committee of the Pennsylvania Mot
OF Federation, which has instituted
a campaign to secure favorable at
tion by the Legislature, thus definite
~ outlines its purpose =
Our Main Highway Bill provides
for commission TO be appointed by
the Governor who shall prepare a
complete plan of all the roads in the
State which they believe should be
converted into State roads, not alone
those that the first appropriation Of
IS, 900, 900 will cover. In other
words, we are advocating the plaL-
ming of complete system. 1t is un-
questioned that such a system will
embrace at least three across-the-
State highways and a number Of
north and south highways With
branches running into every section
Of the State
The difficulty today lies in she fact
that our Estate aid" roads only go
into such sections as can afford te
pay one fourth of the cost. The
poorer sections get no roads for the
reason that they cannot afford to pay
their share. In certain localities I'm
portant highways pass thru these
poor sections, with the result that ar
immediate amount Of traffic is COM
pelled to go over roads that are al.
most impossible.
The present plan has resulted ip
nothing but patch work, mostly roads
leading from nowhere to nowhere.
and has practically frozen out the
poorer townships. We maintain that
the main highways should be con
structed and maintained at the ex
pense OF the State. They are for
general use, and should be supported
by the general fund. We naturally
have a selfish interest in advancing
the cause Of good roads in Penusyl.
vania, but our bills have been worked
out not solely In the interest of the
automobilists, as many seem to think
bat according to the motto we have
adopted, GOOD roads for the farmer
means good roads for the automobile
ist, Our bills provide for no
boulevards, but for common sense
roads treated with a preservative
which shall make them waterproof
and dustproof
1t is obvious that what is here in.
dicated is the sensible treatment Of
the States highway problem. If
there is to be substantial progress in
road Improvement there must be a
system by which each stretch Of
work accomplished shall be part of a
contemplated whole. The entire
scheme of betterment should be
lodged in the State authorities, and
the funds acquired by general taxa
tion. 1t is as unjust to deny good
roads TO the poorer sections of the
Commonwealth as to deny paved
streets to the poorer sections of a
city.

Good Roads-What
They Mean

The Penna. Motor Federation has
initiated campaign for construc.
tive policy of State Road improve
ment. The condition of these high
ways, as whole, is deplorable.
They are a hundred years behind
Twentieth Century civilation, and
put Pennsylvania to shame in com
parisou with the enlightened policies
of other commonwtalths. Ii is graf.
flying to note that this particular
Federation, with its special interest
in highway betterment, now organ
izes movement that is of the great
est benefit to ali the people. 1t does
not minimize the Importance of the
effort of theas motorists that they
are actuated by a personal consider
alton, for if they can secure one new
good road at any point in the State,
that road will be a substantial bles-
sing to every man, woman and child
thas is compelled to use it.
What enchances the value Of prop
erty more than the fact that that
property is situated in community
where good roads abound where ao-
cess is made easy, and where the
horse as well as the automobile may
g. its way in peace? Who more
than the farmer benefits when the
roads are hard, smooth and dustless?
The prejudica-exparienced thru all
the history Of the worlds progress
against innovations of whatever
sors succumbs, as it always does. TO
an intelligent recognition Of modern
necessities ;and it succunbs the more
readilyln the oaso Of the automobile,
beonuse the man who needs highway
betterulents recognizes thas it is the
most potent iustrumentality in crys-
talizing public opinion for a generous
policy Of road reconsideration.
The members Of this Motor Feder-
alton are to be commented for their
public.spirited efforts 10 speedily Sc
euro such legislation as will better
existing conditions. They have in
readiness for presentation TO the com
ing Legislature three separate and
distinct measures dealing with the
highway problem. One of these calls
for a $50, 0o0, 900 loan for the improve
ment of all roads in the State. For
constitutional reasons, this cannot
under any circumstance become law
in less than five years, or until the
year 1918, even if it be favorabiy
acted upon at the coming session.
The second provides for an appropri.
alton of So, 600, 600 for immediate use
while the last of the three has to do
with the preservation Of stone roads
already constructed OF which may be
hereafter constructed by the State
aid plan. All these measures should
receive popular support, because
their whole purpose is to benefit every
interest concerned in highway trans
portation.
The Good Roads Committee of this
Federation has taken upon itself the
responsibility of asking all the town
ship commissioners, burgesses and
mayors in the State to lend their
moral and physical support TO the
campaign to the extent of procuring
signatures to certain specific petit
tions add essed TO the various mem.
bers of the Legislature Thus far
the returns from this appeal have
been most gratifying.

when it is entirely closed, Deafness

WILSON TALKING THE TRUTH NOW.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is
finally talking on the right line and
giving the people of this country the
advice that they need. He is now
pointing out that the South is the land
of promise to the farmers, that It is in
this direction their faces should be
turned, that here the soil rewards
their labors with an abundant yield Of
profitable crops, and that industry and
intelligence here reap a harvest such
as no other section offers.
Talking to the farmers of North Car
DINA the other day Sect. Wilson said:
''The place for the farmer is in the
South, where the soil Is friendly to
nearly every product of the country"
This Is truth that needs constant re-
iteration. In the past the South has
unfortunately suffered from the ex-
plotting of other sections through
false statements about this part of the
country. All remember the famous
black map issued by a western rail-
road, in which the South was colored
as great black spot, indicative of
the negroes and unhealthful condi-
tons that did not exist outside of the
Imagination of the railroads adver-
Using bureau. The day has passed
when such literature is distributed,
but the evil effects of such misrepre-
sensations still linger.
The South is prominently the Sec
ton of the future. No one can doubt
that. It's development in the next ten
to twenty years will be enormous. The
South is free from the presence of
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-11-10

the elements of foreign population
that constitute menace to govern
ment and institutions in the North 1t
does not want such classes and will
not have them if it can avoid it. But
the land hungers for the capable, pro-
gressive farmers of the North and
West who are seeking new homes in
Canada. These are the settlers it
would gladly welcome, no matter how
many thousands of them came. 1t is
to these people that Sect Wilson
should carry the message as to what
the South offers to the enterprising
agriculturalist. To them he should
tell of the cheap lands, the mild and
healthful climate, the diversified crops,
the glorious development now on. If
the government would do this it would
be doing the country as a whole a
great benefit. 1t is no advantage to
the United States to have thousands
upon thousands of it's citizens leaving
every year to develop the British po-
sessions to the North of us, to become
citizens of Canada, when we have such
vast areas in the South awaiting de-
velopment, where they would remain
American citizens, and their children
after them. Really it looks like al
duty for the Federal government to
seek to turn this tide of emigration
from the west in this direction. Sect.
Wilson might put his time and official
position to far less profitable use than
to expend a month of two of it in al
propaganda in favor of the South
among the sturdy agriculturalists of
the northwest who are thinking Of
changing their locations. Let his
slogan from now on be go South"
and let him do vast service to the
nation as a whole, and the South in
particular. by singing its praises
where the song may be of benefit.
