VALUE OF GOOD ROADS.
They Would Tend to Lower the Cost
Of Living.

They Would Tend to Lower the Cost
Of Living.
The 100000 miles of unimproved
roads which the country has to its dis
credit are as heavy burden upon the
unfortunate ultimate consumer as
is an excessive tariff. Every pound
of produce hauled from the farm to
the market bears an inflated price be-
cause of the excessive cost of its trans.
portatiOn from the farm to the point
Of shipment.
For instance, 1t costs an average Of
almost 2 cents more to haul a bushel
of wheat from the farm to the station
nine miles away than it does to ship
bushel of wheat from New York to
Liverpool, 3,10O miles away. This ex
cessive transportation cost must be
made up by the farmer In charging
more for his wheat, by the miller in
charging more for the -four. by the
baker in charging more for bread and
finally. of course. by the ultimate con.
sumer'' in paying more for his bread.
AS the farmer and the miller are also
| consumers. the excessive cost of road
transportation really levies tax upon
all. Whatever doubt there may have
been about the need for systematic
road improvement in the United States
facts and figures such as these finally
dispelled
If there was ever any work calculat
ed to fill the proverbiai long fel,
want" it was the work of the Office
