That Amount Was Spent in
Highway Building in u. S.
Last Year.
RETURNS ARE GREAT
State Aid to Counties Factor i'm In
creased Interest in Good Roads
WOrk-'I0re Than 10000 Miles
Of improved Roads.

Washington, July 20.-AlbroNimate-
ly 100000, goo was spent list year on
public roads in the United Estates, ac-
cording to statistics prepared by the
United States department bf agricul-
ture. In 1904 the total wal only 49,
100000. In nine years, therefore, the
increase has been over 254 per cent.
This awakening on the Hart of the
country to the Importance of good
roads has, experts say, betn due in
great measure to the principle of
state aid to counties and other local
communities. New Jersey Logan the
movement in 1891 when it passed it's

and Vermont followed year later,
but for the most part the other states

Ia 1913 the individual states appro-
priated a total of S3S, ,0SS to sup
plement local expenditures.
The value OF this state aid is, how
ever, not to be measured by the fig
ures alone, for the bulk Of the money
comes, and always must come, from
the counties ond townships. Thus,
in 1912, the cash outlay by counties,
districts and townships, was $137,-
493 1856 Complete figures for 1913 are
not yet available, but it is safe to
estimate the sum at approximately
$151 900 900. To this must be added
some $15,000,000 to represent the
value of the labor contributed instead
of cash in districts where this prac-
tice prevails. Last year, therefore

ARKANSAS At THE
FRISCO EXPOSITION
Campaign for Funds to
Start at Once That Work
May Begin.

Little Rock, July 20.-With the re-
turn from San Francisco of Commits
sioner General r. b. T. Hollenberg
comes the announcement that work
on the Arkansas building at the Pana-
ma-Pacific international exposition
must begin by August -. The cam
pagn for funds is now on. Enough
must be raised Immediately to admit
of the letting OF contract for IT,
building without an unnecessary
days delay.
In a statement made public Satur-
day afternoon the Commissioner Gem
eral presents an earneSl appeal to the
people of Arkansas for prOmptness
in the cooperation they intend 10
give the Arkansas exhibit project. He
says:
'The deed for the site of the Ar
kansas building at the Paaama-Pacif-
ic International exposition grounds
requires formal acceptance by Aug
ust Is and work on the building
must start by that date. This is less
than month distant.
There is another important rea-
son for action without delay. AS the
date for the opening OF the eXposl-
ton draws nearer cost of erecting
buildings at the exposition grounds is
growing higher. For instance, the
type of construction used there cos
until recently seven cents per cubic
foot. Now the price has advanced
to about eight cents. We may ex
pect it to go steadily higher in thu
coming months and it is to our de
! cided advantage to let the contrac

al tllC pl CoCIil lilly tiClS al & Ill thS
United States 2O,741 miles of roads
improved either wholly or in part by
state aid. This is nearly the mileage
of the French routes nationales. the
system OF great national highways
which is the envy Of every civilized
nation. The routes nationales are,
Of course, only small part of the
total mileage OF France, where prac-
tically every road of any Importance
is an improved road and France is
a vastly smaller country, both in
area and in population than the Unit
ed States, so that this comparison is
not, in itself, very flattering to our
progressiveness. 1t shows, however,
that we have at least made a begin
ming. OF the 2.226,S42 miles OF roads
in the United States, 223,774 miles, or
approximately 10 per cent, are classed
as improved.
To improve the remaining 80 per
cent may we'll seem big job. 1t is,
in fact, only made possible because
the work really pays for itself. From
material gathered by the United
States department of agriculture, it is
now possible to prove not only that
good roads are a profitable invest
ment, but to determine exactly what
dividends they pay. An investigator
assigned to this problem In any given
locality first ascertains the extent OF
the territory that is tributary to any
main road, much as one might ascer-
tain thee territory tributary to some
river. The next step is an accurate
estimate of the total products of this
territory; so much grain, so much

tobacco, so much garden truck, etc,
etc. OF this quantity a certain por-
ton is consumed on the farm; the
rest is shipped over the road in ques-
ton. The whole calculation can then
be checked by investigators at the
shipping poin. to which the road
leads. In general it has been found
that the two methods yield much the
same Internationally total amount
of produce hauled over the road.
Next, the length Of the average haul
is calculated, the size of the load
permitted by the character Of the road
ascertained, an dthe cost of teams
and drivers figured. With these facts
before him, the Investigator is now
able to state positively the cost OF
hauling a ton of produce on that
road, to express in terms of these
miles" the freight traffic on the
road, and finally the total cost to the
community served by the road Of
hauling it's goods to market. Armed
with these data, it is easy to decide
how much money can be profitably
spent in improving the road, and
what are the returns that the invest
ment yielsd to the community.
Returns From Good Roads.
These returns are of various kinds
First and foremost is the reduction in
the actual cost of hauling, the plain
fact that it takes less time and labor
to haul a load over a good road than
over a poor one Less obvious is the
effect of improved roads in increasing
the total output of community. In
the case OF one county in Virginia
where particularly thorough records
have been kept, this output was more
than doubled. The farmers found
that with a market always and readily
accessible to them, it paid to work the
land to it's maximum production.
This explains the very remarkable
rise in farm land values which near
ly always accompanies road improve
ment. The rise is not fictitious one,
of no benefit to the man who wishes
to farm and not to sell. The land is
more valuable because it can profita-
bly, be made to produce more. In
other words, the money that goes into
the road comes back with interest
from the land.
