Postmaster Frank A. Nimocks yes
terday delivered one of the finest
arguments in favor of good roads and
the method of securing them ever
heard in Omaha where the annual con
vention of the first class nasbies Of
the United States Is in session. He
decried the non-prOgressive attitude
of the postmasters and asked that they
literally cOnstrue the rules of the post
Office department governing theil
authority, because If they did so judic
iously and widely they accomplish
wonders in the wey of securing better
roads along the rural routes. Mr.
Nimocks states that the farmer who
receives the benefit of rural free de
livery should be induced. compelled
If necessary, to carry out the good
road process on the highway along his
farm. The speaker also showed the
great benefit Of good roads work for
public. the state, the government and
all. In his speech, which in part fol.
lows, 1t will be seen that his argu-
ments are practical and placed before
the auditors in most convincing
manner:
Good Roads and How to Secure Them
on Rural Routes.
The average postmaster in this con-
vention is not losing much sleep over
the good or bad road problem on &C
count Of his official position, for the
reason, strictly speaking, that he is
clothed by the department with very
little real authority. However, to the
postmaster who is really aggressive
on the good road proposition for rural
routes the department of rural mails
goes practically to the limit to assist
him in every way possible.
A strict construction Of the regula-
tons would give postmaster little
encouragement especially to get i'm
mediate results, but to the postmaster
who takes the bull by the horns and
assumes authority In this matter my
experience has been that the depart
ment stands by him to the last detail
and In reality makes his authority
practically complete. But the average
postmaster is not looking for oppor-
tunity to butt into more work and
will not take the risk as he sees it, OF
being turned down by the depart
ment and will stay on the safe side
Of the rules and regulations.
The time must come when the
postmaster can say with authority to
John Doe you must put your read in
good condition, John, or l shall pass
you up" In other words, l hold and
believe, regardless of objections to the
contrary that the department should
hold the patron responsible for the
road along his premises for he can
bring influence /, to bear en- road
trustees and others responsible, much
quicker and more effectively than can
the postmaster or the department.
He has vital interest at stake. He
may lose delivery of his mail. He is
the man in position to make up the
road trustee or repair the road him
self. Let him take his choice.
He stands 8 better choice to get
results than the postmaster His vote
helps elect or defeat the trustee

The government is spending ovel
forty millions year for mis- bench
and at big loss. Should they no

You may theorize If you like, 20,
may make excuses for the patron
you may say the trustees should dc

patrons business, but the fact re
mains that you will never get salts

In free delivery cities up to this re

better is the farmer? What are we
afraid of that we deliver rural mail
at loss of millions and hold the
beneficiary responsible for nothing

has made babies Of the rural route pa
irons and must sooner or later take
up the task of reformation.
The department need not fear OF

by any reasonable regulation before

Should Assume Authority.
advise postmasters to assume more
authority, If they are really interested
IN the roads. If you use judgment,
the department will not desert you.
1t may be a delicate matter for them
In the regulations to give us the
authority we need, but have found
where we use such authority in con-
nection with average good Judgment.
our actions are approved.
The government through the rural
free delivery has 1t in it's power and
IN political, way, to do more in the
interest OF good roads than the legis-
lature of every state in the union by
it mandatory that the farmer
see that his road is in good condition
or forfeit his privileges of free de-
livery service. This may be called
but it will produce results.
Our best patrons will not object to
this for they are already taking care of
their roads and If the majority of
rural route patrons try to do their
duty should we not see if possible by
strict regulations that the INDECENT
man who is the exception, does his.
He uses his neighbours dragged
roads. He is served at a big loss by
Uncle Sam. Let's make him loosen up.
AS ar illustration of the unselfish
interest the department takes in these
rural route patrons I find in the in

not unduly.
Delivery in Winter Is Bad.
IN our country, during the severe
storms of winter, when the road is
filled with deep snow, some Of our
rural patrons wait for the rural mail
carriers to break the road and inform
them whether or not it Is possible for
them to travel to the city. If the mail
carrier with his equipment can pos
sible get through and give them this
Information, then the roads are pass
able. If he fails to get through the
snow banks and breaks his harness
and vehicle in trying to do SO, and he
is compelled to turn back, then the
road is impossible. After the carrier
has returned to the Office, these pat
rons often call up and give us informa-
ton that If the carrier had shoveled
yards of snow he would have found
the road good from there on to Smiths
place, where he could have gone
through the field and delivered the mail
to Jones. OF course, there are two
sides to this question, but my Judgment
is from a short experience that the
rural route patron is the best treated
person from the president of the u. s.
down.
Facts About Country Roads.
believe the department should he-
come more insistent on good roads
also for the general welfare CT the
country as whole. TO illustrate the
wonderful benefits which are to be
derived from such agitation I wish to
give you few facts which have been
secured by the agricultural depart
ment. by expert engineers, and the
various highway commissions.
1t costs more than twice as much
per mile per ton, to haul farm pro-
ducts ever our highways, than it does
in France or England.
Bad roads cost the United States
last year, on the same basis, over one
million dollars day. For this loss
the government could have built over
$4,000 miles of permanent highway,
or placed in good condition a million
miles Of dirt road
On the basis of the governments
estimate of the present excess cost of
fifteen cents a ten for hauling in this /
country, as compared with European
countries, improved roads would have
