Movement for Better Roads
Getting Hold on Public
Sentiment
FARMERS HAVE BEEN
SLOW TO DO PART
They Have Failed to Realize That II
Is Money in Pocket to Haul Their
Crops When the Prices
Are Highest
Rx c. y. sTrwARr

Washington, July 25.-(Special.) 1.-The ma
tion wide movement for good roads is
gradually getting a hold ON public senti-
ment The United States is badly behind
European countries, with far less wealth
than that possessed by this country in
the way of great public highways. 1t has
been a question of educating the people,
for. strange. to say, those of our popula-
tion who would be benefited the most by
good roads and pay the most because of
bad roads-the people who live In the rural
districts-have been the ones to stand in
the way of god road movements the most
consistently.
Where counties and states have under
taken the task of building good roads,
and for that purpose have called elections
for the purpose of authorizing a bond is
sue, nine times out of ten it was the rural
vote that defeated the movement. Per-
haps all this has been for the best mas
much as there is a growing opinion that
the national government itself ought to
take up this question and adopt some
scheme for the cooperation of the states
and the federal government for the pur-
pose of building good roads.
Senate Working on Plan
A committee of the United States Senate
is now trying to formulate some feasible
plan, that Congress can afford to adopt
to this end. This committee is beaded by
ex-senator Bourne. who has given the
question of good roads great study. lie
believes that he has hit upon a plan that
will eventually mean that every state in
the fInion will he able TO avail itself of the
opportunity to build substantial and last
ing highways through a system of coop
GRAFTON and credit extended by the ma
tiona government.
The United States department of agr-
culture recently issued a bulletin upon
the subject of good roads and the benefit
the farmer derived from them. Among
other things 1t said:
