disastrous for the welfare Of the coun-

These men are out of sympathy with the

GOOD ROADS RALLY TO Be

Ward King Will Toll What He

Listeu to this. A short time ago the
road from Council Bluffs to Davenport,
Iows, $50 miles long, was streak Of
mud and ruts u. Ward King, who de-
vised the split log drag, convinced the
state and county officials of the merit OF
his system. In few months time that
road was transformed into an almost
perfect highway, nt a total cost OF build
ing and maintenance for the first year OF
50 mile.
That river to-river road has attracted
the attention Of the entire country and
Canada. Every foot Of it is practically
boulevard. Not long ago, after heavy
rain, the entire $50 miles was put into
first class condition in the space OF one
hour by prearranged plan, when men
turned out with teams and splitlog
drags. King says 95 per cent OF the
roads in Colorado could be put into the
same condition by the same method. II
that is SO. the state has been overlook.

up with Iowa. First class roads at one.

looking proposition, and ought to send

is strong talk but the road laws of six
states have been changed to conform

the commission claimed that if
the roads would stop the leaks in
