PRACTICAL PLAN FOR ROADS.

All classes now realize that good
roads are an excellent Investment.
Formerly It was necessary to argue
in order TO convince some people that
money put into permanent roads was
we'll invested. but this is no longer
the case in Vermont at least. Tho
stretches OF permanent roadway con-
structed by every town in order to
entitle 1t TO its share OF the projects
OF the State highway tax, have scrv-
ed as convincing object lesson
Farmers have come to realize that ir
the entire highway to market were in
as good condition as tho permanent
roadway already constructed and en-
Joyed. they could haul full loads dur
ing muddy OF sandy going as early as
they can haul half a load at the pres
ent tinle, and all people now realize
that II we are to reap the harvest OF
the auto travel from other states, we
must have good roads.
Granted that we need good roads
and that permanent highways would
be a good Investment. the only prac-
tical question that remains Is how 10
secure the money to build the same.
Two ways Of financing good ronds
are available: Tho slow and tcdious
process now employed of taxing
everything In sight and building a
short stretch Of highway each year.
and tho financing ~ lfyIwovs sys-

THE MONITOR NOT PLEDGED.

Editor Wallace IT, GIpin OF the
Barton Monitor takes exceptions to
the statements OF some Of our con-
temporaries to the effect that he has

read the Monitors article, compli-
mentary sketch of DR. Mead was
given and the statement was also
made that sketches Of other guber-
Material possibilities would be pub
lished later. In commenting upon
the situation the Monitor now says:
