why the railroads should not be taxed
to help build the county roads. The
same may be said of the manufacturer

business with the farmers; their in

If one suffers, both suffer. The United
States is a great big family, and what
we need is family prosperity; those
things done that make for the best

good highways. They enrich country
life and make the farm home more

with comfort.
Investigation shows that at least
four-fifths of the traffic on the high
ways passes over about one-fourth Of
the road mileage; that certain roads
have heavy traffic. These are the
ones that need the first attention and
should be permanently improved. We
find the same thing in our railway avs

a great city where trains are moving

enormous traffic and wear. These

ROADS
EXPENSE SHOULD Be DIVIDED
Railroads Should Share With Farmer
Cost of Building and Proper Main
tenance of Roads.
fRv HOWARD H GROSSLY

(Ry HOWARD H GROSS)
In a large sense the building Of
road should be local matter; that is.
no community should have good roads
forced upon them, and the building OF
the roads should not begin until the
majority of the people living in COM
munity want to undertake it. Let the
voters of the township or the county
press the button that puts the ma
chinery in action.
1t also would be we'll to remember
that the roads are public property and
belong to everyone. The farmers
ought not to pay all the taxes for
building and maintaining the roads.

lines. 1t is all important to the rail

only one possible to build for the small
traffic that will at first come to it, but
as the traffic increases so the physical
condition of the road is corresponding
ly improved to meet the requirements.
The highways in the central west do
not meet the needs of the people. but
the people do not always realize this.
We are too apt to get along with what
we have, without looking to getting
something better One of the surpris-
ing things about this whole road
movement is that one state will have
large amount of splendid roads and the
adjoining state few, II any. Indiana
and Illinois are notable instances Of
this. Nearly 40 per cent. of the
"Hoosier" highways are improved and
most of these are splendid roads, while
in Illinois the percentage Is seven or
eight per cent. Can anyone imagine
a reason why the people of Indiana
can afford good roads, while their
neighbors in Illinois cannot? This is
an absurd situation.
