WHY NOT eooD RoADs7

Governor Hanna's plan for bonding
the state for a large sum with which
to build roads, and to use the annual
auto tax to retire the bonds, seems to
be a very clever plan, and it will prob
ably be adopted by North Dakota.
There are many ways of raising
money for good roads, in fact good
roads are SO easily obtainable that 1t
Is one of the wonders of the world
that people will be content to drag
through the mud and mire Of poor
highways ,L>
The real problem that confronts
good road enthusiasts is to remove the
bug-a-boo of cost which frightens
the people who would be the most
benefited by better roads. Since the
automobile has come, and forced good
roads in many eastern states. it has
been proved beyond all question that
this bu~g-a-boo. h same as all other
creations Of the imagination. is only a
myth.
New York. Massachusetts and New
Jersey are counted as being In the lead
of all h states in road improvement
n o a construction.
Massachusetts began it's state high
way construction in 1894, and its total
expenditure. to date has been $12, SOC, 900,
one-quarter the amount of the first
New York bond issue. For the next
five years Massachusetts, will spend a
million a year in road construction
work. and in addition there will be
ample appropriations for the mainten-
ance Of the roads.
With the excellent roads the three
states indicated have, they are more
attractive to tourists than those states
which have bad roads. and from this
source a large amount Of revenue is
derived. 1t is claimed for Massachu-
sets that the revenue from the tour
lists alone will pay for the mainten-
ance Of the highways OF that state.
New Jersey has 1900 miles Of good
roads; Massachusetts,. 1900; while
New York has 10000 miles of public
roads. ~
This wholesome sentiment for good
roads is spreading throughout the
country. Other states have begun to
build and improve their roads. In
nearly all the states money has beer
appropriated for road Improvement.
The reason this has been lone is that
the people everywhere realize that
without good roads a community can
not compete with those sections fbo+
have good roads. They have long since
found out that the condition OF the
roads has much to do with the value
Of real estate, and that farming lands,
however superior in fertility. are not
desirable where there are no good
roads.
North Dakota can have good roads.
What is needed most is a campaign to
show the people OF the state the bene-
fits Of improved highways and the
ase with which they may be secured.

The complaint of the Berthold
Farmers Telephone CO. has been
withdrawn from the board of railroad
commissioners, and a new complaint
flied by a citizen of Berthotd, praying
that the commission compel the
Farmers and Northern Telephone
Cos. to make physical connection at
Berthold. This action is similar to the
one brought before the Wisconsin rail-
road commission by a citizen of La
Crosse, which has attracted a great
deal of attention from telephone peo-
pie, and was decided in favor of the
complainant, compelling physical con
nection to be made by the Bell and
l. lacrosse companies. The various
telephone managers of this state have
taken note of the Berthold case and
, when it comes to a hearing at Minot,
probably within the next month, the
outcome will be awaited with consid-
cradle interest by the companies and
the people generally, the issue at
stake being whether a public utility
company can be compelled to give the
fullest service possible, whether it
cares to or not.
The force of the railroad commission
is sending out blanks for the new ele-
vator licenses for the period begin
ming Aug. /, 1913 and ending Aug. /,
1915. There are nearly 5000 eleva-
tors and warehouses in the state, for
eign and domestic, and to make sure
that all these concerns are properly
licensed and bonded, and before they
start buying grain, it is very impor-
tant to the farmers and others selling
grain. The law provides a stiff pen
atty for persons buying grain without
a license, but in spite of that fact some
of the houses have done business in
the past without complying with the
license law. However, the commission
is of the opinion that none of the
grain buying houses will get very far
in that line in the future.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

Judge Miller in police court oc-
~casionally has some queer happenings
while attending to his official duties.
He had been in consultation with a
colored man and had been trying to
give him advice, but it did not appear
to be taking we'll. The colored man
was saying to the judge:
II jest wish to the Lord, Mister
Jege, that you could print the piece
about me, as l asked you," and the
judge turned to a newspaper man who
was in the room at the time and said,
Here's a man might help you"
Approaching the newspaper man
the colored man said:
"'Cuse me boss, don't you all know
Use done and got a divorce, and I
don't go foah to see anything in the
papers about it. Deed der haint been
a single line in de papers and it's bin
two months ago"
well that is queer" said the re-
porter, trying to look serious.
Cant you all put it in the papers
now? he asked. "Tain't as how / cum
to get the divorce that / cares to let
the people know about, but don't you
know, boss, that 1 meets a lot of
cullud ladies every day that jes' won't
