OUR HIGHWAYS THE WORST
EngIishman Declares That He Found
No Such Poor Ones Elsewhere

No Such Poor Ones Elsewhere
While on visit to this country re.
Gently Robert H. Jackson of WaIburn
Lodge, London, had during an inter
view occasion TO criticize the cOndi-
ton of our highways. Mr. Jackson
said: mo country l have visited has
such poor roads as the United States
This is surprising to me, for if there
is any improvement a nation can
make that pays for itself it is the
building of first class highways |
spent several weeks in Indiana-at
Terre Haute-and as | am interested
largely in farming | made frequent
trips through the surrounding coun-
try. Some of the roads were six
inches deep in dust, and in the win
ter, | doubt not, this dust becomes
Sludge. How the farmers can get to
market with their crops is beyond
me. Your roads wherever l have
been are generally very bad. In Eng
land we have excellent roads, as in
other countries of Europe.
Road building and road improve
ment are done through the township
unit system. Nearly every township
has one or more steam rollers, and
the cost Of improving the roads, or
building new ones is borne by the
property owners in proportion to the
valuation of their holdings. Most
Of the modern roads of Englan3 have
a foundation of briCk-not of ordi
nary brick, but brick of large size
Upon this foundation are placed sew
eral inches of soil and on top of this
soil bluestone, which is ground into
the soil by means of the steam roll
ers. This makes a first class, durable
road that will keep in good condition
during all seasons of the year Owe
here most of the roads are made b,
simply turning the turf and grading
At least that is how they impresse,

The people certainly have the
right 10 expect officials Of the coun-

with the selling of GqJor. to see that

The law has constantly grown in
favor, and is now about as well en-
forced as any other penal statute. We
have more than a quarter Of a million

In short, we have a higher and better
civilization than can be found in any
state where the saloon is tolerated

Prohibition is argued as being an
infringement on personal liberties. Is
there a single law in the broad length
of our land that would permit any
man 20 commit suicide? If the kisses

search for pleasure. Is the promotion
