Editor Capital journal

Editor Capital journal:
In the "Review of Reviews" for
August there appears an article from
the pen of Walter c. Tiffany, regard
ing public roads. In regard to bad
roads he writes as follows:
Gone of the most thorough investiga-
tions of the subject ever conducted, the
results of which are used as text
wherever the doctrine of good roads is
preached, was made by the Minneapolis
Civic and Commerce Association. While
the conditions investigated were those
of territory tributary to Minneapolis,
they are undoubtedly typical, to a
greater or less degree, of those existing
elsewhere.
"A committee of the association Sc
lected for investigation the farming dis
trict, $50 square miles in area, the trade
of which is tributary to Minneapolis.
From thorough canvass of the condi-
tions existing there it was found that
the 4060 farmers in the district hauled
100000 tons of farm produce to market
in 1911 and sold it for $6,665.6S0 To
do this they had to make 3O5,OOO trips,
the time spent equalling 800 years of s.
hour days and the distance covered SS
times the circumference of the world
Bad road conditions caused losses in
time, partly due to slow progress, partly
to the necessity of taking less direct
routes, and partly because smaller loads
had to be carried. Detailed investiga-
tions showed that the losses in time
were as follows: Due to not taking the
shortest route, $4,000; due to slower
progress, $4,000; due to extra trips
necessitated by smaller loads, $4,000
"a total loss of $4,000. Losses from
Inability to reach the best market, from
the spelling of product, and from injury
to horses and wagons were found to ag.
gregate $22l 900; from restricted abil-
ity to haul manure, $91 ,0O0 The total
loss caused by bad roads was placed at
$6OS,72S.
"The committee made the following de.
ductions; On account of bad roads each
farmer lost for the year $l.70 for every
acre that he farmed; 10 cents every
time he carried a ton of farm produce
over one mile Of bad roads; 8 per cent
of his total crop. He paid as much for
bad roads as for labor; more than fol
feed for his stock; twenty-five times as
much as or ertilizer. The total loss tC
the farmers in this district for the yeai
from this cause would have bought all
the corn produced in it, or all the wheat
or the oat crop twice over, or all but
10 per cent of the potatoes, or all the
barley, jye, flaxseed, timothy seed, hay
and forage combined The losses would
replace the farm implements or the cat
tic every three years, the horses every
four years, and would pay off all the
mortgages in the district in three years
with 100000 to spare,
"The farmers, moreover, were not tn,
only losers from bad roads. The com
mittee found that the worst sections o,
the roads they had to travel between
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-08-27

the roads were not only maintained, but
have been gradually improved.
What would our scientific road en-
gineers have accomplished with such
meager fundsl Probably they could
have made some preliminary surveys
and drawn a few maps each year; but
nothing more.
Hurrah for scientific building of pub
lie roads, paralleling railroads; for the
pleasure and comfort of automobile
tourists; the profits of contractors and
transient laborers and the tax bleeding
benefit of farmers.
Yours truly,
GEO. G. NIFTY,
Salem, Oregon Aug, 10, 1918,
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1913-08-27

their farms and market, were within the
city limits; that there were approx
mately 5000 business houses in Mime
apolis, employing 5000 wagons, whose
loss from bad roads was 100000 for
the year.
'The combined loss of the farmers,
merchants, and manufacturers for one
year was $1,51S,OOO. AS there are
about 5000 miles of roads in the dis
trict, which could have been kept in
good conditions for $4,000 a year, if
properly constructed, in order to ascer-
tain what amount could prOfitably be
invested in good roads, the committee
deducted this amount from the total
| loss, leaving $1,200OO0. Capitalized at
Az per cent, or per cent, which is
more than bonds would cost, the prin.
cipal is $22,O000OO. If this amount
were invested in good highways at
$1,000 a mile the district would still
break even on the investment. "
In such writings he states that the
5000 miles of road mentioned could be
maintained for $4,000 annually.
Our scientific road experts are mar.
velous engineers if they can maintain
public roads for 81 per mile, annually,
after they are properly constructed.
In regard to the great losses of farm.
ers on account of bad roads, | will cite
a case of a farmer near, having hay
transported over bad roads of Oregon.
The owner of a small tract seven
miles out, had eight tons of hay hauled
to Salem by an auto truck this season.
Two tons were hauled at trip and four
were made in one day. When eight
tons of hay are hauled seven miles by
one truck in one day, over roads where
farmers have wasted all driblet road
funds for the past 40 years, it is time
we had some scientific experts, to fig.
ure out the great economic loss from
such road conditions; especially when
all the funds expended in such road
districts, for the past 10 years, did not
amount to $25 per mile, annually; yet
