a subject that appeals TO automobile
owners Is the esta blishment of system

from coast to coast, said the general
manager Of a western motor company
few days ago
1T is astonishing, when one thinks of
the attention given the subject of road
building during the days of establishment
or our government, that after awhile en-
thusiasm should dWindle down to such
degree as to be incomparaby outstripped
by progress made along other lines. But
l believe the country is now very much
awake. Nearly everybody from the
President down is talking good roads
1t is not an unweighed statement to say
that the matter is one of universal i'm
portance. Few subjects relating to ma
terial interests are so broad in their
scope. Ii touches the interests of the
millionaire, the farmer and the mechanic
alike. A uniform system of good roads
Will be a great step in the solution of

poverty and ignorance in those commune

value of 5000 miles of such highways
