average of at least 81 an acre through
out the entire farming section of our
state.
The profit from a farm as we'll as
from every other line of business, is
the difference between the cost Of pro
ductiOn and the selling price. If the
cost Of marketing is too great TO
leave fair margin of profit, the land
will command a meager price and its
cultivation will be unprofitable regard
less of its fertility. In some parts
of our country timber is considered
ar incumbrance on the land, potatoes
rot in the ground and fruit on the
trees, while in other sections these
cCmodlties are so high priced as to
be beyond the reach Of most people,
and all because the cost of transpor-
tatiOn does not permit the producer
to transport them 70 the mar.
kets at price which the consumer
can pay.
The question Of roads is. therefore
vital one and is of practical impor-
lance as the only way of reducing the
cost of reaching the market and thus
increasing the profits.

he forced up a window and they
found Mrs. Wilson lying on the floor

reduction of 10 per cent in the cost
of living and otherwise benefit people
who do not live in the country.
Thfrd-The future Of the country
demands that the comforts of country
life shall as far as possible. equal
those Of city life.
1t is sometimes thought that
the building and maintaining of good
roads will necessitate the expenditure
Of vast sums of money, but such is
not the case. 1t is not a question OF
any new expenditure. The expendi-
ture is being made now. 1t is a ques-
ton, not of throwing money away, but
of saving the mcalculable loss that
the country yearly sustains through
the low efficiency of its roads and Of
increasing the value of farm property
by making markets more easily ac-
ceSible.
Everyone will readily agree with
The statement that good roads would
greatly increase the market value of
fam lands. If this were not so, then
why do farms near towns where the
roads are not good invariably sell at
a much higher price than those at a
distance? Good roads would tend 10
equalize this difference and | believe
uhat uniformly good roads would in
crease the value of farm land by an

UNCLE SAM SHOULD HELP BUILD
RoADS.

The farmer has a right, beth u0al
and lesal, 70 receive state and ma
tional aid in the building OF his roads
He already pays an unjust proportion
Of the taDes. His property 10 largely
of Euch a nature that he can neirher
hide 1T nor conceal its value and when
the assessor comes around it has TO
be said even the pigs squeal az though
determined not to be overlooked. On
the other hand it is a well known
fact that a large percent OF city and
corporation property escapes taxation.
Then too, do not cities profit from
public improvements out of proportion
to the amount of taxes they pay?
Look at the city, for example, with
the agricultural college. the state fair,
the county court house. the federal
buildings, and Improvements from
which the cities secure revenue vast
ly greater than The taxes paid by its
citizens for the support of these inStt
buttons and improvements. Being ne
cipienst of these special privileges
why should they not in turn by a
system of state aid. help the farmers
build adequate roads which would be
of great and lasting benefit TO the
city as we'll as the country.
The national government has ex-
pended millions upon the improvement
Of harbors, rivers, canals and other
waterways; it has given millions up
on milIionS of dollars worth of land
to private corporations for the build
ing of railroads, but it has been con-
spicuously parSomonious in aiding the
building of public highways.
The result is that we have the fin
est steamships, the best harbOrS and
the most efficient railroad service in
the world, but our public roads are
incomparably poorer than those of the
least civilized country of Europe, says
R. NJ. D., in the Farmers Guide. The
slate is taxing its entire population
for the support of educational institu-
tons that are of direct benefit TO
the few who take advantage of these
schools and yet We all admit That the
state is none than Justified in making
this expenditure. The expenditure OF
money secured through county, state
and national aid for the improvement
OF our country roads is equally profit
table and can be defended:
First-On the ground of Justice TO
the people in the country who are moi
receiving their full share of benefits
from the expenditure of most public
money.
