ing the good roads agitation now the
strongest boosters. This is especially true
of the farmers. they say. who now, indi-
vidually and through their national and
local oranges, are doing all they can to
help along the good roads campaign
Wherever improved highways have made
their appearance the farmers have found
that the money expended is paying large
dividends and they are eager to see the
work extended.
Where good roads have suppanted the
old mud roads farmers have found the
value of their lands greatly enhanced and
they have found that they can move their
produce to market at about one-fOurth the
former cost. Statistics from the United
States office of public roads show that
the average haul of farm products in the
United States Is nine and four-tenths
miles and that the average cost a ton
mile over American roads. good, bad
and Indifferent is % cents. while
over the improved roads of Hol-
land. for example, the average haul cost
is cents ton mile. Taking the distance
of nine and four-tenths miles as the aver
age haul there is shown to be a loss of
S141 on every ton of produce raised and
marketed in the United States because
of bad roads.

Many Benefits Derived.

But the farmers have discovered that
good roads have not benefited them in d
financial sense alone. Good highways
have enabled them to get away from
home and get back again with comfort
and speed They have made it possible
for their children to go to school with
dry feet in all kinds of weather. They
have brought people from other parts of
the country past their own doors In
fact, the good roads have put the 10
calties ION the map. few years ago
these same farmers We're using shotgun
arguments against the automobilists-
Now large number of them own ears
themselves and are among the most
active allies of the American Automobile
Association in carrying the good roads
campaign into Washington.
While no definite system of national
roads has yet been established, several
routes have been much discussed in the
last decade. Among these are the
Ocean to Ocean stone highway the
Meridian road and the Montreal to
Miami highway The last named
route. which will extend from Montreal,
Canada. to Miami. Fla, is well under
been completed.
The Meridian road is projected to
run from Winnipeg, Canada. directly to
Galveston, Tex, touching many of the
large towns In the DakOtaS, Nebraska
Kansas and Oklahoma.
The proposed Ocean to Ocean stone
highway at present is attracting a
great deal of attention. To build this
great transcontinental thoroughfare it
is proposed to have all of the larger
manufacturers of automobiles and motor
car accessories pledge l per cent of
their gross income for one year. 1t is
roughly estimated that the road will
cost S25.OOoO0O and up to date a consid-
cradle number of the prominent automo-
bile makers of the country have pledged
their | per cent share of the fund
The project for the ocean to ocean road
was set in motion by a group of enthusi-
asts in indianapolis at a banquet of auto
mobile men about year ago, and before
the evening was over $4,000 had been
subscribed by those at the dinner
Evening star., 1913-03-02

Greatest attention is given TO working
out the idea for the national roads. 1t Is
estimated that a complete system OF ma
tional highways traversing the most pop
ulous sections of the country would in
clude not to exceed 30,0o0 miles. 1t is
further estimated that these roads could
be built for about $lJ 600 a mile. bringing
the total cost of the national system up to
$43O. 100000. The pivotal point. however, is
that some fixed policy be established by
Congress whereby federal funds shall be
used for the building of "a co-ordinated
system of trunk line roads, instead OF
having the money scattered indiscrimi-
nately among the congressional districts.
which could have no other result than the
building of a disconnected, patchwork sys-
tenn of roads involving great waste.
The leaders in the government roads
propa ganda assert that they feel tnat the
fight from now on is going to he compar-
atively easy. They declare that the senti-
ment of the whole country is substantial
ly with them and that now ii is only a

The Daughters of the American Revolu-

tions are actively interested in behalf of
the historic roads and trails.
Prison la Dor is another important factor
in the government highways propaganda
Already more than one-half of the states
in the Union are employing their convicts
on road work. During the summer months
of 1912 more than $4,000 convicts were
continuously employed in the various
states. and in eighteen states from which
complete reports are available the work
of the prisoners was quite as efficient as
that of paid labor.
Several wardens of the largest prisons
of the country who have had experience
in convict road work will attend the
Washington convention and give Con-
gress and the delegates the benefit Of
what they have learned.

Reason Says This

A tire that can't rim-cut must
save all that rim-cutting wastes.
And statistics show that rim
cutting ruins % per cent of all
old-type tires.
An oversize tire. of equal
quality, must outwear skimpy
tires.
Our 10 per cent oversize, un-
der average conditions, adds 25
per cent to the tire mileage.
Reason also says that a tire
which has come to outsell all
