Beyond Nine Per Cent.

In the past three years It is roughly
estimated that the percentage Of i'm

gone we'll beyond per cent. and posi-,
bly, close to 10 per cent. 1t 10 esti'
mated that if 20 per cent. of the public
highways were improved-each high.
way being selected and improved with
a view to the proportionate traffic up
on it-a high degree of efficiency In
highway transportation would be
reached. 1t is figured that millions OF
dollars would be saved annually in the
transportation of crops, the wear and
tear on horses and vehicles, and In
the minimizing of the waste in truck
farming Where roads are bad, tho
farmers frequently find 1t impossible
to get their products to the shipping
points and thus perishable products
are wasted, perceptibly increasing the
cost Of living.

SENATORS FAVOR GOOD ROADS
Growing Belief That Government
Should Concern Itself With Con-
struction of Highways.

National roads come in for repeated
reference in the senate debate relat-
ing to the post office appropriation
bill. It is evident that there is
constantly growing belief that the
federal government before long
should concern itself with the con-
struction of trunk line roads, thus en-
couraging and making more con-
venient the great food Of interstate
travel.
During the debate in the senate
Senator Swanson Of Virginia made
this comment: I'VE are now con-
fronted with the proposition whether
the federal government shall or shall
not extend aid for the development,
improvement, and construction OF
highways. The time has arrived, or
will very soon arrive, when the 'pso-
pie Of the United States will demand
that the federal government shall eX-
tend proper aid. Whatever may be
the views of some, it is a question that
must be inevitably met, and one that
cannot be shirked. When govern
ment comes to extend aid for roads
there are two ways by which it can
be done: 1t can furnish the money
and construct the road itself. or 1t
can aid. stimulate and lend induce
r,ent TO the local authorities to do
the WORK OF road construction and
inlprovem ent."
Senator Hepburn Of Idaho believes:
When the government enters upon
this class of work 1t should be for
The construction of roads up to the
standard of the highest use, not all at
one time, but continuously and grad
ually: not roads one part Of which
would be worn out before the other
was constructed, but system Of pro-
gressive construction that would re-
suit within a reasonable time in a
system Of permanent good roads"
Senator Williams Of Mississippi Is
a contender for first class construc-
ton. Said he, "You must make one
road good, then you must make an
other good, and then third and then
scheme whereby they could be done
with fairness to the states and the
several sections of the country"
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts
contends: IF we are to enter upon
the policy of federal aid in good roads
1t will involve an expenditure Of
more millions than the Panama canal
cost, and it ought to be done only
after most careful consideration and
on a broad, well understood, we'll ar
ranged plan, so that for the millions
expended We may get value in the
return we desire in good roads"
Senator Bourne, of Oregon, who is
chairman of the senate committee on
postoffices and postroads, said: Il am
heartily in favor of good roads. My
opinion is, however, that we have not
sufficient Information to take intelli-
gent action as to the best method Of
procedure"

IN the campaign for good roads,
speakers have been furnished for 400
meetings, addressing total of $1,000
persons; two good roads trains have
been concluded; $4,000 bulletins,
tracts, Or other publications have been
distributed and every county and
township board in the state has re-
ceived an offer OF assistance in its
local problems.
I'VE are spending more money than
ever before on our highways, and
while there is a great waste due to
mismanagement and lack Of proper
supervision, we are getting marked
improvement in our roads.
During the past year the townships
spent for road and culvert work ST.
204,5S5. There was also spent in 3O3
counties $591, III for county roads and
in % counties S401,576 for bridges. In
these % counties it was found that
this year the bridge expenditures in
creased 35.7 per cent. over the aver
age for the past three years. In the
remaining SO counties, If an increase
Of ten per cent. in expenditures Is
assumed the amount spent on county
bridges would be about $77S.424. The
total amount of funds spent on the
highway in 1912 was about $4,975,696.
There will be approximately $5,25O,OOO
of highway funds available for 1913.
"A review of the year gives decid-
ed optimistic outlook for future prog
ress. Good Roads has become d
household topic in Kansas. No other
subject is receiving the attention or
consideration as does that of better
highways. More progress has been
made than in any previous year,

trebled. What has been accomplished
in the last year by the highway de-
