y Ii good roads advocates will conf1ne
their talk and recommendations to the
highways that will serve the people,
and such highways as the people can
afford to build, much greater progress

In some instances good roads can be
built with gravel at hand at from $500
to $1,000 a mile. Where the gravel
must be shipped some distance the
cost will be double. When crushed

by train. the expense will be any
where from $4,000 to $4,000 a. mile.
Even at $4,000 mile it would pay
well to build good roads upon the

cial advantages, and the pleasure and
satisfaction Of using = good road in.
stead Of poor one.
The good road boomers should keep
in mind some certain things that are
fundamental.
First. that under our system of gov.
eminent no large amount Of good
roads can be built unless the farmers
are ready to move in the matter, hence
the farmer and not the automobile
manufacturer or user must be first
considered.
Next. that the question OF road ne
cessity has the economic. social and
educational welfare involved in It.
Next, that good roads the country
over need not cost $4,000 to $4,000 d
mile. but through the central west
they can easily be built at costs
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 a mile,
depending upon local conditions. This
price may be sometimes reduced by
the use Of convict labor in the prepa-
ration of material.
The farmer should rem ember that
the building OF good roads adds to the
cash value of his farm more than
times as much as the tax he will be

speedways for automobiles. These are
not the roads that the public needs.
In the building OF highways there
are two great questions involved. One

gained from the transportation view
point, and this means good roads from
the farm home to the market town.
over which the food supply Of the
world must be moved. The other
question is one Of the social and edu-
cational advantages that follow good
road construction.
Fortunately It IL true that the same
highways that would give the largest
returns from an economic standpoint,
are tho roads best suited to give the
highest advancement. Hence the need
is not these great, broad, expensive
highways, extending hundreds of miles
in any given direction, but network
Of good roads. nine to twelve feet
wide, covering the main highways Of
the country and centering in the mar
ket towns upon the railways. The
wagon roads are the veins Of COM
merce: the railways the-arteries. The
largest public; good will come from
such condition that there will be
free and uninterrupted movement
upon both the highways and railways
throughout the gear.
Among the economic advantages is
that it enables the farmer to keep in
close touch with the market and
make his deliveries when in his Judg-
ment the best price can be realized.
There Is no doubt that large per
major portion--of the
farm produce for the last SO years in
the Mississippi valley has been sold
and moved with road conditions as
the determining factor. 1t is, "Hooray,
boys. we must get this grain to mar
ket because the roads are good" and
not necessarily because the price Is
at its best. This hurrying of product
to market swamps the railroad COM

dealers in the city to manipulate
prices. pushing them up or down, and

II one looks carefully over the press
clippings that come In upon the ques-
ton Of good roads. he will be aston.
ished at several things.
First, the widespread interest that
is taken in the subject. Better high
ways are being discussed everywhere
lin the shop. store, the school. at
the cross roads, women's clubs, grain
exchanges. boards OF trade. railway
meetings, etc. The advocates OF good
roads are as thick as humble bees in
clover patch. All sorts Of solutions
are offered, most of which are imprac-
ticable, and If undertaken would be
simply a waste Of time and money. 1t
reminds one OF the remark OF a philos-
opher, who. after listening to a young
lady Of voluble conversation, said:
What relief it would be If she would
stop talking for little while and do
some thinking"
There are disciples without number
who feel they are called to preach the
gospel OF good roads. They know lit
tie or nothing OF the subject, but the
desire is strong and impelling. It re-
minds one OF the young divinity stu
dent with very little aptitude for the
profession he proposed to adopt and
from which the bishop was trying to
disuade him because he regarded him
as wholly tnapt. The man maintained
he was called to preach and therefore
he was to obey the summons. The
bishop asked him in what manner the
call had come. He said he had had a
dream in which he saw outlined in
the heavens clearly in letters OF white
.P. c. which he interpreted to mean
to go and preach Christ. The bishop
told him he had no doubt he had seen
the vision as stated. but he had mtsin-
terpreted it. and that the letters 'P.
c." in his case meant to pillow corn.
1t is 80 with the good roads advocates.
many Of them doing more harm than
good.
One enthusiast. who has been much
in evidence. is telling the people how
they can get good roads without
money. He might as well try to boost
himself over fence by pulling at his
boot straps.
The good roads question is ire
mendously big one and must be ham
died in big way. No one can mas
ter the subject in short time The
writer has spent Is years digging into
1t from every angle and he feels that
there is yet much to learn. Some good
roads enthusiasts have proposed the
building of great national highways
connecting all the capitals OF the
states. or a great trans-continental
roadway from Boston to San Francis
co. or from Chicago to the gulf. Such
roads would be tremendously expen-
sive. and about the only thing that

called upon to pay to help build them.
He should also remember that If the
roads were uniformly good it would
be much easier to get help upon the
farm. The farm laborer could provide
himself with a bicycle. which can be
had very small cost. and upon rainy
days or Sunday he could &c out and
see his friends instead of being ma
rooned by impossible roads.
The farmer should also remember
that over good roads can be hauled
two or three times as much produce
as over bad roads. Taking average
road conditions the year round. 1t is
safe 10 say that II one were hauling
over them every day in the year with
the same expenditure Of power. at
least one-third more could be deliv-
cred and possibly twice as much over
good roads as over the unimproved
highways that are often in good con-
dition, but very often bad and some
times impossible.
In magazine article the writer
noted the following:
"A prominent southern farmer paid
$500 for pair OF mules. He refused
to pay 5000 for pair Of smaller
mules because the larger ones could
pull $50 pounds more because Of their
increased size He refused to vote
a bond issue for good roads that
would have enabled the smaller mules
to pull 1000 pounds more"
Thus in practice we often save at
the spigot and waste at the bung. The
need Of the hour is to take up the
good roads question in big, broad
way with liberal spirit, and realize,
that the roads are permanent ass1e
to the nation. the state and the town
ship. and that if they are well built
and properly cared for, they will last
for many years. and the expense Of
building the roads ought to be spread
over 20 or 30 years. SO as to let those
who come after us and share in the
benefits. help pay part Of the ex-
pense Of building them,
Valuable information upon highway
construction and good roads generally
can be had by applying to the office of
public roads. Washington, or to the
highway engineer Of the respective
states.
Let the god roads advocates agree
upon some sensible line OF procedure
and cut out all the fads and impossi-
bilities and bring the proposition down
where it belongs. and consider 1t in
the light Of local conditions. and ad.
vocate such roads as will give the
largest return for the money invested.
