Making Most OF Road Funds

1t is generally recognized today
that our public roads are an integral
and important part of farming.
Upon the quality of our public
roads depends, to large degree,
the cost of marketing farm pro-
ducts. The cost of hauling farm
products now is very high, although
not so high as it was In years past,
when roads were little better than
COW paths through the forest. A
quarter of century has witnessed
great improvements in public high.
ways, yet the work Of improvement
has hardly begun. Another de-
cade, perhaps, will witness greater
improvements than ever before.
1t is not just to the public and
public servants to wholly condemn
them III the misuse OF public funds
and to declare that road work OF
the past has been ignorantly and
maliciously wasted. Some who
have had charge of building and
improving the roads have done
well with materials and funds in
hand; others have done the best
they knew, while a few have want

human nature has cropped out m
road affairs. 1t is very common
Tor farmers aud others IN discussing
road matters TO speak OF the heavy
taxes and mountains Of money that
have been spent on the roads aud
then openly insist that Every dol.
lar Of It has been thrown to the
wind Such has not been the
ease generally, aud il road money
in any particular section has been
thrown away or mlsappropriated,
the citizens Of that section who
kick should have done their kick
ing At a time when il would have
done some good. They are crying
now over spilled milk, which Is
childish.
ltls an old axiom IA pedagogy
that We learn to do by doing. To
this might also BE- added that we
learn to do by seeing things done.
Country people now are generally
better educated IN road building
because they have seen some really
good roads aud some good work
done. They have learned to know
good roads when they see them aud
to have some well dehned notions
of better roads than exist in places.
People all over the country are be-
ing educated to think aud plan IN
real road terms.
Every public road district needs
a skilled road boss. Most clear
thinking men are fully convinced
that a good efficient man for the
work is Of even greater importance
than ample funds. A good man,
with certain amount Of money,
will accomplish more substantial
aud lasting road work than a poor
man with twice the amount of
money. No farmer who builds a
good barn or dwelling intrusts the
material and work to unskil.ed
hired hands. Yet farmers in many
communities have iutrusted public
road money aud the supervision OF
road building and repairing to men
utterly unskilled in that class OF
construction work. They might
have been good men fol
other things, yet we're poor road
bosses. Their results have showT
them to be incapable.
The busy farmer whose mind 1,
filled with his home affairs Is not 4

and attention TO 1t that the mattel
deserves. In many cases the poo
