LAND GRANTS FOR ROADS.

From The Tribune's Washington spe-
cial yesterday morning, it appears that
there is a disposition in Washington TO
revive the old system of grants Of pub
lie lands for making public roads. A
considerable fraction Of the lands in
Oregon is held in useless condition by
reason of those old military and post
road grants. 1t was favorlto proceed
ure in the former generations to make
grants Of public lands for the purpose
of building military and post roads.
These roads were an absolute necessity
in the early settlement of the country
west Of the Alleghenies, and hundreds
Of miles of roads were built by reason
Of such grants.
1t has always been something Of a
grievance that the local communities
are obliged to keep up good roads and
to open highways for the passage of
U. S, mails and military forces, at the
exclusive cost of the local communi-
| ties There seems to be no reason why
the United States should not contribute
fairly and proportionately to the MAX
ing and keeping up of these roads where
| it uses them, and this is especially true
now since the rural mail delivery has
| come in, which makes absolutely neces-
sary the opening and maintenance of
good roads.
Whether the best way for the Govern
ment to contribute its share for the
making and upkeep of roads is through
military grants or by money appropria-
| tion is n matter not yet settled.
Ultimately, doubtless, it will have TO
be settled by the appropriation oil pub
| lie money. For, in the nature Of the
case. even though public land grants
should now be resumed, there must
come n time when there Will be no more
public land 10 be granted for this or
any other purpose, and the National
share in tho upkeep of the roads will
have to be provided in money.
We believe that the best method to
apply to this work, even now, would be,
as has been proposed in good many
bills introduced in Congress, TO appro-
y
share of the cost Of building and keep
ing mp good roads. That is the fair
thing to do, since the Nation requires
| the use of these roads in its operations,
and since it charges the people for the
conveyance Of its mails, and the pack,
ages which it contracts to deliver.
Since the Government makes the peo-
pie pay for this service which it rem
ders, it is no more than fair for the
Government to pay its just proportion
toward tho making and maintenance
Of good roads wherever its service re-
quires such roads. The land grant
proposition is necessarily mere TEN.
porary expedient, and might not prove,
even now, effectual. In many cases in
the past it was Intellectual for the
making of good roads. The appropria-
tion of money in the long run would be
the most certain aud tho most economi
cal. We. therefore, consider that the

there can be no question about the
enormous development that is to be
experienced by Utah in the near fu
ture,
We should rise to our opportunities in
all this, and prepare for the immense
development that is in sight through
the opening Of the Panama Canal. And
that is the great lesson of the Canal to
the people Of Utah.

est5 an the OLD Republican ring had

him. Then they nominated and elected
John Abner Mead -Morrisville Mes
senger.
We wonder if the Messenger will
mention please. by calling names, men
in the "old Republican ring" who
nominated DR.. Mead for governor
TIE VI )nltor was an ardent supporter
of DR.. Mead from the start because it
believed that he was not the man
picked bv the "ring'. if the leading
Republicans in this state ever displayed
strength enough to be dignified by that
term. AMI while there were some things
about that canoaign Wllch were very
distasteful to the Monitor, we still
believe that DR.. Meal more than any
other was the man who broke up t e
coterie Of men in this state who
thought it their prerogative to select
nominees for the Republican party.
Certainly it was not the Proctors who
nominated Dr. Mead, and the Proctors
had generally been termed the
'Fbiggest" influence in the Republican
party Of this state Up to that time.
It surely was not the Proutys, 1t was
not DIN Merrill. 1t was not Dilling
ham. 1t was not the Burlington Free
/ Press, the ST. Adams Messenger or
the Rutland Herald. It's fact that
Mead was nominated in spite of the
above-named men and papers. And
outside of them where was there at

who were the Especial interests?" Our
contemporary knows some of the above

The Messenger upon reflection will
find that the papers of Vermont which
today term themselves Progressive
or independent, or free Republican,
were in general the papers that
supported Mead, and the other class ir

A few weeks ago the Randolph Her
aid and News commented upon the
feasibility of the suggestion of Govern
or Fletcher that the state back cross
state railroad from Rutland to Mont
pelier 1t should be remembered that
s1ch link would not complete a cross
state railroad and until such line is
continued to some point in this county,
only half the benefits to be derived
fro n crosS-state line will be derived.
nanting upon the matter the
Rutland News says:
II Vermont wolId do as the con-
temporary suggests it would make
one of the finest strokes of business
aginable. 1t would be small
financial risk to stand behind a com
pany that Wolli undertake the enter
prise. Canada did the same thing in
its latest transc ontinental railroad and
it is an example that should be followed
by Vermont As the News has pointed
out. the cross.state railroa is far and
ayVerm)nt's greatest single need to-
day. The state Will not do Itself justice
until this railroad is in operation and
it means a large loss everv year until
it is in operation. Once the line is
es -abll shed Vermont people will wonder
why they went 50 many years without
it.
