President Porier's talk, which
did great deal to inspire enthus-
iasm. WIS as follows.
"'rhe Good Roads question bas passed
from the stage OF being the lad of few
automobilists and eccentric enthusiasts
and has sprung into problem of national
importance which is commanding more
attention than any other one problem be.
fore the American people today. And
indeed il is isht that it should. We fuss
and iume about railroad rates and have a
national commission to regulate them
ct we compacently pay not so per cent
higher hu, 800 per cent higher rates for
the transportation OF our farm products
TO the railroad station or mill than we
should pay had we the ri aht kind oi roads.
Again, it is recognized tina, tirst-class
railroads can not be built and maintained
without the expenditure of enormous
sums of money. The sooner the same
TACT becomes recognized in reference to
hrst-class highways the sooner we will
get them. Good railroads are profitable
they would not be built Good high.
ways are still more profitable though the
dividends they pay are less tangible.
Let us continue the analogy between
the railways and the highways. Before a
railroad is built well defined plan is de.
cided upon as to what work is to be done
and how it is to be done. Engineers and
other specially trained men are employed
to make and execute these plans. Com
| pare this with the haphazard manner in
which most highway work is done.
| Wouldn't it be economy to follow more
| systematic method and to have trained
men to carry out the work?
| Let us look at the most practical side
of the problem. |; is one OF the functions
| of the government to provide roads for
the use OF the people. 1t is function
that has been sadly neglected by the ma
| tional government and in most cases by
the state governments. This has left
| practically the eptire burden on the
/ counties and on smaller communities.

that stretch of road to agreV to pull the
drag over his five-mile stretch and back
again at least once during the year just
after a rain Then if there are ten men
living on that fivc-mile stretch, the road
will be dragged twenty times or more
during the year. As a starter | believe
we can find ten districts where the land
owners will take this up at once. also
believe that the County Commissioners
will furnish the ten drass. After the
good results which are sure to follow this
experiment are brought to the attention
Of their neiehbors other districts will be
organized and more draes put into use.
II this idea meets with your approval l
hope to have ten volunteers who will
agree to organize road districts Of this
nature and put the plan into execution at
once. If we can do this we will have as.
complished something more than merely
meeting together to tell each other how
bad the roads are and how much they
need fixing. We are all agreed on that
SO let's actually do something.
Much good was accomplished last
year by insisting upon the construction
of more and better drain bitches to keep

Full of enthusiasm in his work, an
earnest and forcible speaker, able to sway
his audience at will with his great per-

travel, why should it not bear the burden
of building and maintaining them. One of
the resolutions adopted at the recent
Good Road Conference in Denver was
recommendation that a law be enacted
providing for the issue of both state bonds
and county bonds for just such purposes
as set forth above. hope that every
voter and tax payer in Prowers county
will use his vote and influence to see that
such law is enacted.
But let US not wait for the enactment
OF special laws and the appropriation of
big sums Of money by the state and ma.
tional governments to begin practical
efforts for the betterment nf our roads.
Let's organize band of volunteers in
every community to assist the County
Commissioners in their efforts to make
and keep the roads good. No one in the
county is more intensely or honestly in
terested in good roads than the members
of our Board Of County Commissioners.
They are trying to get the best results
they can out Of the funds at their disposal.
Divide the county into two districts of
not more than five miles of road to the
district, have King road drag for each
district and get every man living along

The third annual session of the
Prowers County Good Roads As
sociation. which convened Tuesday
at Lamar, was marked by increased
enthusiasm over any meeting in
the history of the association. AL
though the work of this association
is purely patriotic, there beiLs no
fund with which to ,defray ex-
penses, except that raised by pop
ular subscription. the spacious
commercial club rooms at Lamar
were filled. with those who
have the work at heart, and in
hand, and the spirit in evidence
plainly foretells the accomplish
ment of much good during the
coming years.
The meeting was called to order
by President Samuel Porter of
Holly, who delivered an address
which is given below in this
column. Election OF officers WIS

above.
