One day she administered a more
vigorous kick than usual, and noticed
an expression of pain fit across the
face of the mate, who sat opposite
her.

RAISING THE MONEY

FOR GOOD ROADS.
EFFORTS OFTEN MIsDIRECTED
Good Roads Fever Carries Community

Tax Levy Plan Wrong.
BY HOWARD H. GROSS,

In forwarding any great movement,
as the building of good roads, enthus-
iasm is essential, but unless this is
coupled with knowledge of the sub
ject, it is question whether it some
times does not do more harm than
good. The writer believes that a
movement for better highways is oft
en- retarded by over-zealous friends
who are attempting to do something
they do not understand. The propo-
sition to build good roads throughout
the land is a very big one, and ex-
ceedingly important 1t is question
that must be handled in big way.
If anyone had suggested fifty years
ago the building of a railway to the
Pacific slope, he would have been de-
clared at least visionary. This has
been accomplished and today there
are half dozen such railways, and
the four months journey across the
desert is now comprised in less than
three days. While the building of
good wagon roads throughout the
country is an immeasurably big job,
yet there are back of it boundless re-
sources; there is far more to encour-
age us than the builders Of these first
great continental roads had to en-
courage them. Let us go forward

Uses Of Paper Metal.

At the great coronation pageant,
which will be next June, when George
is crowned King George ". of Eng.
land, there is to be something entire
ly different from anything that has
ever happened before
Instead of real armor the armor
that is to be worn will be made of
paper metal" There will be exact
copies of all the old sets of armor used
and the paper metal will be so fixed
that the armor made from it will
give the appearance Of the original.
And it is said that in the future the
metal will be used for almost all
outdoor decorations, because it is
much cheaper than plaster paris and
also is waterproof.
It can be made to represent all the
different metals and is so strong that
one can jump on it without making
any impression on it.

with q stout heart and high purpose
and with a clear head, and all will
come out right.
In good roads campaign one of
the most important things is to I'M
learn some things that are not so, to
get a view of the proposition from
the right angle, and not to work along
impractical lines. The good roads
fever usually breaks out in some COM
munity with hurrah, to build a mile
or two of hard roads, and there Is
squabble to determine which particu-
lar road shall have the improvement.
Selfishness crops out and must be
reckoned with. When the particular
road has been determined upon, then
comes the question of raising funds.
Those who are disappointed will give
nothing; others will contribute va
rious amounts; the banker, merchant
and grain dealer are called upon and
subscribe different sums; others will
contribute labor; an entertainment
will be held in the town hall, the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to the building of
the road. The local paper will be
filled with letters, interviews and edi-
torials; everybody is patting himself

bond issue, paying off the bonds in in
stallments. This is vastly better and
cheaper than to build short stretches
by an annual tax levy. OF course in
terest will have to be paid upon the
bonds, but on the other hand the peo-
pie will have good roads to use, and
If the use of the roads is not worth
more than the interest on the bonds
required to build them, then road
building is not worth while. The
worlds experience is that good roads
are always worth several times what
they cost to any community.
There are many advantages to this
plan. BY building many miles at once
1t is practical to have good engineer
ing supervision and proper specifica-
tions, and the result will be we'll
drained better and more durable
road and one that will not cost nearly
as much to maintain as one poorly
constructed. Again, on so large Job
contractors will figure lower than up.
on small job and the best machinery
and methods can be employed to ad-
vantage, so it is fair to say that twen-
ty miles of road built under a single
contract will cost from Is to 20 per
The enterprise. [volume] (Harlem, Mont.) 1899-1926, 1911-06-29

is for the township to levy an annual
tax for hard roads that will produce
perhaps $1,000 or $4,000 and expend it
upon gravel or macadam stretch Of
road, which is to be extended from
year to year at rate that will give
the township a fair amount of hard
roads, say, in twenty or thirty years.
BY the time the last mile is built un-
der this plan, the first one is worn
out, the rule being that the road once
built receives no attention, and that
the money raised Is spent upon build
ing more roads. The roads are xsu-
ally built without much, If any, at
tention being paid to drainage, and
the results are not always satisfac-
tory, in fact. they are seldom what
they should be. Those charged with
the duty of spending the money nine
teen times in twenty know little, If
anything, of how the road should be
built, and when 1t is finished it is
usually about half as good as It ought
to be and has cost nearly twice as
much as it should, for let it be said
again and again that the greater part
of the taxes raised for highways is
frittered away by misdirected effort.
An eminent engineer, who has had en-
tended experience, says at least sixty
per cent of the funds raised for high
ways Is wasted. Certainly the waste
is at least one-half. This being the
case, 1t follows that one of the first
things to do is to stop this awful
waste and see that dollars worth of
road results from every dollar ex-
pended, instead of forty to fifty cents
worth. 1t ought to be clear that it is
very important that roads should be
constructed under expert supervision,
and that capable road engineer is
needed. Of course it is not practical
to have this and build the roads piece
meal, short stretch at time, hence
the township will find it wise, instead
of an annual tax levy, to issue bonds
to the full constitutional limit and
build, say, fifteen to twenty miles of
road at once and pay for them by the

This is all very we'll SO far as it
goes, and perhaps the moral effect is
good-it stirs up the community, but
it does not do very much in the way
of road building. Usually half mile

the town to the cemetery. Well, that
does some good, and will give de-
parting citizen smoother road in
death than he had in life.
