The average old-time farmer prone to look
upon bad roads as a necessary evil. He realized
in what detriment they were to his in
terests, but he put up with the situation because
he did not see any way out of the dilemma-at
least not without more work than he could afford
to give Then along came the United States gov
eminent, when rural free delivery commenced to
be introduced, and declared that these rural mail
carriers could not be placed in districts where
the roads were not in fair condition This did
much to awaken the farmers to the situation, for
every rural home prizes the boon of daily mail
delivery And. at about the same time the farm
ers who thus had their serious attention focused
upon the good roads question, found, they
looked closer, that bad roads meant hole in the
pocketbook of every tiler of the soil 1t began
be realized that if a farmer required the
ices of four horses and entire days time to
get load of produce to market via bad roads the
loss to him was just as serious as though he had
to accept a very low price for the yield of his
acres Herein is found the supreme incentive
among many that has enlisted the progressive
farmer in behalf of better roads
One of the best things mplshed for the
farmer by good roads is that it has broadened
his markets. With rocky muddy highways
forcing slow progress the average farmer was in
the old days restricted to market town-the
nearest his farm Now with good roads he
qured reach any of several communities To-
Gated in different directions This enables him
attain the market where he get the best
prices. Similarly with good roads the farmer is
likely to be restricted to railroad for
shipping facilities IL the road nearest his farm
will give him the he needs otherwise
play fair he most likely has some redress by
driving across the countryside to rival line
And the very fact that the introduction of good
roads is destroying such monopolies has served
render the railroads obliging to their
farmer clients

ANCHWICH, L. L. B.

The people of Oregon have again

legislative policies, thereby giving a

legislation. Many reform weeklies
have recently published articles dis

lation in Oregon, and giving list

that great commonwealth and streng-
then our faith in direct legislation. OF
course, bills embodying principles
dear to us were defeated, but it would
be unfair to Judge the people of Ore

The important fact is that an average
of 10000 votes was cast on each mea-
