GOOD ROADS
Should Be Built By Contract, Under
Supervision of a Good Engineer
and Paid For By Nation.
State, County and Dis
trict.

Bad roads cost everybody money.
1t matters not whether you live in
the great city, in a city or village
or in the country, the bad roads
cost you money. Bad roads make
it cost more to get the products of
the farm to the city and also in
creases the cost OF getting the arti-
cles which are manufactured tn the
city to the farms. This loss must
be paid by the consumer, and pro-
ducer. These are in both city and
country. The rich and the poor
alike lose by bad roads. That it
takes more energy to get over bad
roads than it would take to get over
good roads cannot be denied. The
cost per ton per mile over good
roads for transportating freight is 8
cents. The cost per ton per mile
for transportating over bad roads is
Is cents. Think of this great diff
ference Then this money is lost
as no one derives any benefit. En-
ergy directed along right lines is
productive of good, energy directed
along other lines is wasted. The
time is now here when there must
be less waste. The farmer and all
classes mnst do as the great pack
ers where all parts of the animal is
worked into some byproduct which
is made to help make the work
more profitable. All classes having
to pay the cost of transportation
over bad roads are interested in
having the roads made good. This
can best be accomplished by the
National government paying more
of the cost than does the State; the
State paying more than the County
and the County paying more than
the district. In order that all the
the good roads be not built around
the County Seat it must be further
provided that when a district GETS
its money ready the other money
must be forth coming. The pres
ent system is not right in that it
takes money from remote parts of
the several counties and uses it to
build good roads around the County
Seats. 1t is not necessary to 90 a
thousand miles from here to find
that the people do not get back for
their roads more than ten per cent
of what they paid in We find this
I condition in the three counties.
This condition has grown intolera-
BILE. In Monroe County we have a
special district which will help a
small part of the county only.
Something must be done, some
thing will be done Township or
ganization will be a partial relief,
but the building of good roads by
contract and under the supervision
of competent engineer and to be
jointly paid for by Nation, State.
County and District is what must
be done
This is one of a series of Articles
on Good Roads. 1t is subject of
great moment. 1t affects every cit
izen and every citizen should pay.
1t is not equitable for the farmer to
pay the big end of the costs. We
ask criticism of any or all of these
articles and we will be pleased to
publish your views. In this way
and this way only can the best plan
for building good roads be selected.
What have you to say?

which will do you good. The great
lectures will aid you in making
your life more useful to your fellow
man. Up to the hour of going to
press all numbers on the program
have been good and all that are to
follow will be good. Perhaps there
are some which do not appeal to
you but that is no evidence they
are not good as they are all good
and they may be just what others
like best. 1t is not knocking at all
on any other Chautauqua to say
that so far we have seen Monroe

Chautauqua of North Missouri.
