The Practical Side of the Problem

A WRITER SAYS bodybuilding is an engi.
~ neering and not political question The
actual work OF building good roads is an
engineering problem and because OF our failure
TO recognize that fact and employ engineering
knowledge in building and maintaining our roads
we have squandered much money and perpetuated
about the worst roads possessed by any civilized
country
But the good roads question is not entirely an
engineering problem. 1t is an economic. a finan-
cial, question as well. 1t takes money to build
good roads and for this reason it becomes gem
eral question of general interest. Unfortunately
most OF our public business is done on political
and not on an economical basis 1t is done moro
by politicians who know little and care less about
business than by capable business men disnosed
TO apply business methods and principles in i,s
management. In time we shall recognize tbis
fact, and then the lawyer-politician will have less
influence in the land but we need not bone FOR
much change in this line in the near future.
hence, let us make start toward better roads
by using engineering knowledge in their construc-
tion and the best we can get in other lines They

will cost us too much and we will not get as
good might but even the lawyer-politican
will be in favor of good roads after election as
we'll as before he is convinced that
the voters-the farmers-have advanced beyond
the talking stage and in real earnest in their
desire for better roads. In fact, the talking part
of our population is already almost unanimous in
its support of the good roads movement, but we
now need to arouse paying and acting interest
in better roads. There is time quite so good
the present for starting the work OF building
a few miles of good roads in every neghborhood;
but be certain that you know what good road is
and how to build 1t before you spend public
money on 1t. Just little good road sense and
plain business methods will do wonders with our
roads.

Limitations of the Split-Loe DRAG.


Office 1t is apparent that there is quite an
extensive misunderstanding as TO the proper
use or true function OF the split-log road drag
In observation of the use to which this imple-
ment is frequently put we see the same evident
misconception of its true field of usefulness.
In brief. the split-log drag is not a road builder
but road-keeper That is. its best use Is In
surfacing and keeping In good condition roads
after they are properly graded. shaped. and
drained. In fact. there is no implement yet de-
vsed which compares with Il In economy and cf-
fciency in keeping dirt roads In good condition.
BY Its use a smooth firm surface is kept more
easily and cheaply than in any other way OF
which we have any knowledge. Even on roads
not properly graded and shaped Il will accomplish
u great deal. II the conditions are not too bad
and 1t is intelligeny operated: but this Is not It's
proper use and too much should not be expected
OF 1t.
Throughout many sections OF the South, by con-
tract or otherwise. from SIS TO $50 a mile In
spent annually in unsuccessful attemp, TO keep
the roads in repair. Owing to the condition of
most of our roads It is impossible for the con-
tractors or others. do much good with so small
an amount of money. and. result. all that Is
attempted is OF makeshift order
Because of the impossibiiity OF making n fairly
good showing with small an amount of money.
1t is not unusual for those who contract to work
the roads to make no attempt TO honestly or In
teiiigently expend that which il paid them
III IL can not be done otherwise. we advise dis-
continuing the present expenditure for n couple
OF years, saving the money. and when enough has
been accumulated to grade and shape the roads.
90 II. and then use the spiit-log drag to form n
good surface and keep the roads in condition
better plan. where the money can be raised wonld
DC 10 put the roads. or at least part OF them In
condition at once and then use the drag. In some
such way good roads could be obtained In n few
years; whereas. by our present makeshlft extraya
CANT and useless system. we shall have bad roads
eternally. ""
IL is absurd TO talk about good roads and M,
ne Wiling to do anything TO get them. We re
luse TO use the best known means OF making ana
maintaining dirt roads, and yet dirt roads mus,
be our main dependence for many years IN coma
why not start grading and shaping n few mi,es
al once. and on these demonstrate the enrc,encv
OF the spht-log drag. Its great value has been
proved time and again, but our road keepers seem
never 10 nave been convinced
remember that IL Is in keeping dirt roada In
eomui.ioh ana not In building them. that the
Spn,-iog drag has proved It's superiority.

Editorial Gleanines.

vUVHE MATTER of better roads is of such great
importance that we feel justified in making
one issue in each year a Good Roads
the whole subject of road building. We have not
devoted much space to trying to prove that
need better roads or that it will pay us to build
them. These things have been taken for granted,
and we have given some practical helps to the
man the community actually making better
roads, and then devoted the rest of space to
trying to convince you Mr.. Reader that you
have better roads in your community If you
can't get macadam road. or even a sand-clay
road, you can at least grade up your dirt roads,
make road drag and then keep them in shape.
Some one must begin, not agitation, but work, in
your community. Why not you?
A splendid sample of good road is being built
between the town Of Starkvlle and the Mississippi
A. & M. College, 1t is the result of the combined
efforts Of the city of Starkville Oktibbeha Coun-
