BUILD ROADS AND BE
HAPPY

Homer ID. Wade. Secretary OF
Texas Good Roads Association,
of Texas says: A good road
turneth away wrath and a per-
manent highway is a JOY forever.
There is no influence so uplift-
ing as a good road and no other
construction will give as complete
satisfaction as that of well built
public highway.
Everybody leves a good road
and a good road makes US love
everybody. In moral influence
il ranks next to the church and
it is great educator in citizen
ship. 1t helps to keep the CON-
munity in a good humer. The
improvement of public highways
will add more happiness, pros
perity and morality to com
munity than any other form Of
investment.
Build roads and be happy.

the people voted a bond issue of
$3.50, 900 for road improvement
and improved "a per cent of the
roads. The census of 1900 gives
the value of all farm lands in
Jackson county at 81. 80 per acre.
The selling value at that time
was So to SIS per acre. The
census of 1910 places the value
of all farm lands in Jackson
county at SO. 70 per acre, and the
selling price is now from SIS to
S25 per acre. Actual figures of
increased value following road
improvement are shown.
AS the roads in no way effect
soil fertility or quality of the
farm, advances are due
essentially to the decrease in the
cost of hauling produce to
market or shipping point. Farms
are now regarded as plants for
the business of farming. and
any reduction in their profits
through unnecessarily heavy
costs for hauling on bad roads
naturally reduces their capitali-
cation in values. With reduced
costs for hauling, profits are in
creased. with the result that the
farm plant shows satisfactory
earnings on a higher capital
value.
The automobile also has begun
&c be an important factor in in
creasing rural values where good
roads are introduced.
immigration is particularly
marked where road conditions
are favorable; in fact, the
figures of the department seem
to indicate that good roads in
directly increase the demand for
rural property; and the price of
farm land, like that of any com
modify, is ruled by the relations
between demand and supply.

some money very prudently on

THE EFFECT OF GOOD
ROADS

The direct effect that changing
bad roads into good roads has
upon land value and the general
economic welfare of a commu-
nifty is shown in several concrete
Illustrations gathered by the
United States department of
agriculture. The department
has just issued statement on
the subject, based upon a mass
of information gathered by the
Office of public roads, which is
making a special study of the
economic effect of road improve
ment IN the country. According
to data gathered. where good
roads replace bad ones. the
values of farm lands bordering
on the roads increase to such an
extent that the cost of road i'm
provement is equalized. if not
exceeded. The general land
values, as well as farm values,
showed marked advances. follow
ing the improvement of roads.
Among the Illustrations cited
by the department are the
following.
In Lee county. Virginia, a
farmer owned 100 acres between
Ben Hur and Jonesville, which
he offered to sell for 81, 800. In
1905 this road was improved,
and, although the farmer fought
the Improvement, he has since
refused $1,000 for his farm.
Along this same road a tract of
1873 acres was supposed to have
been sold for So, 900. The
purchaser refused the contract,
however, and the owner threat
ened TO sue him. After the road
improvement and without any
improvement upon the land, the
same farm was sold to the
original purchaser for 50, 900.

THE SOUTH PLAINS

Geo. W. Simpson has returned

Southern Texas. Mr.. Simpson

tons pretty closely, and he

1t is a pretty good idea for
South Plains people to stir about
some. They cannot properly
appreciate the excellent condi-
ton of things in this section till
they have seen other parts of
the state then they come back
satisfied. Great is the South

her roads. True enough the
roads in Lubbock county as a rule
are good, but after being
travelled over for several years
they become worn and washed
out just like any other roads. A
sand bed occasionally should be
clayed and a surface lake
graded and made passable.
Good roads are trade getters and
the town that has the good roads,
whether a few miles further will
get the business.
