from the state Of the latter $1,000,
$500 would be contributed by cities,
towns, railroads. corporations and
other forms of property. The writer
has at many times asked farmers
whether it would be worth to them
two cents bushel On their crops to
have first-class road over which to
market it. Very seldom has he found
an intelligent farmer who did not
agree that a road would be of this
much value to him and that by hav
ing good roads and watching the mar
ket he could easily get that much
more for his crops and he could GER
tainly take them to market at less
expense than under ordinary condi-
tons.
A calculation has been made very
carefully by the writer and has been
checked over by the best authorities
of the state. 1t shows, and the writer
is prepared to defend it, that under
the state aid plan the main highways
in Illinois can be improved as first
class gravel and macadam roadways
within 10 or - years at a cost Of
about 10 cents per acre per year on
the farm lands of the state. or a tax
equal in the aggregate to 81 to $1.2O
an acre.
The writer believes that the princi
pal objection to hard roads throughout
the state is by retired farmers, who
object to building roads for. the Ten
ant. If they would but realize that
two per cent on their rent, which is
anywhere from 81 to 81 per acre. will
pay the tax, and that it will make
their farm more desirable and they
can get their selection of tenants and
sometimes so cents an acre more cash
rent. they would arrive at the conclu-
sion, if they are not prejudiced, that
the money invested in roads is the
best investment they can make.
The trouble has been that the farm
ers are paying enormous amounts Of
money for highways Improvement and
they have not seen the improvements.
The money has been squandered.

greatest industry is distribution. In
this worldwide system the farm
wagon and the country road occupy
the first place and ought to have the
first consideration. If the state or the
nation has the money to spend on
internal improvements, let them assist
the townships to build good roads;
the highways over which the children
must go to school, the doctor to reach
the suffering, and over which must
pass every bushel Of grain and every
bale of cotton raised. The road
reaches every field, every farm home
and every market town. The people
everywhere demand good roads. Good
roads mean better schools, more So
cial life, higher standard of living
they mean progress and civilization.

very greatly. Some farmers and a
few so-called experts, however entire
ly overestimate the value of the drag.
There is only one type of road that
Is worthy the name of good, and that
is one that is hard, smooth and disable
365 days in the year, and one that
is not affected by weather conditions.
The main roads Cthese comprise not
more than % per cent of the total
mileage) should be graveled Or mac
adamized after first being thoroughly
graded and drained. The experience
of the world for twenty centuries is
back of this system. Among the illus
trations on this page are some stone
roads that for 1000 years have been
used daily with but moderate cost
for maintenance.
Another fallacy that must be put
on the shelf is the belief that hard
road cannot be built in the corn belt:
that it would not stand up" etc,
upon the heavy black soil. Every en-
gineer knows and experience shows
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1910-04-02

that this soil, if drained and graded,
makes an exceptionally good founda-
ton to build upon,
Another mistake and a rank Unjust
ice has been to place practically all
the burden of road taxes upon farm
property. This plan has obtained
from the first and Is still in vogue in
about one-half the states. The other
half have learned that roads are pub
lie property-they belong to everyone
and it is unfair and indefensible to
place the whole burden of public work
of this nature upon the farms. It is
sometimes said the farmers use the
roads more than others and that is
given as a reason why they should do
all the paying. Well, the lawyers use
the court house more than others;
shall we tax them for the county
building?
