Good Roads And The Fair

(j0Od Roads And lhe FAR
Dear Editor: Here | am
again after a silence of several
weeks, but the results of the
election on the road tax question
came as a surprise, | thought
would give the public
my idea on the matter. The
people have made the greatest
mistake of their lives in voting
down this bond issue. Let's
wake up and get on the pro-
gressive line and do not drag
along in the path of our grand
fathers. Let's get on the pro-
gressive side and put our should
ers to the wheel Of progress and
push forward and not backward,
as some of US did in the recent
election on the bond issue, for
good roads.
believe if the good people
could see the matter in the right
light, they would cry out, Lets
have the election over, we will
vote for tile bond issue. "Just stop
and think what good roads
would do for our parish. 1t sim
ply means the saving of our
teams, less wear of our wagons,
double the value of our lands. 1t
means the building of our towns
and parish, and gives the farmer
a better opportunity to market
his products. We could haul
twice as much over good roads
as we can, over the present ones.
We could haul four bales of cot
ton to market, but as it is now
we can only get to market with
two.
1t is a shame and / think
where the people are so ignorant
of their duty to their country,
the law makers should take
steps and levee a tax on each
> one subject to road duty, suffi-
Gent to build such roads that
2 are necessary in a community.
d Now, justa few wcrlsrin rs.
: gard to our parish fair. l have
not heard very much said about
the fair. l think the time is
right now for the interest to be
> created if a move is ever to be
started. l am with the editor
on this question and think it is
time the committee should get
together and perfect plans and
get the grounds ready for hold
ing the fair. Get the premium
list up and have same published
so the people can see what cash
premiums are being offered on.
It will create a great deal of in
terest if you will give the farm
ers this data, and perhaps wake
up some that are trying to 60 to
sleep. Let's boost the fair, and
give it all the support we can.

Model Roads In Louisiana


the party of agricultural editor
who recently toured Louisiana
was very much impressed will
the good roads work being don,
IN this State, and advises hi.
Iowa readers that it would b.
profitable for the people Of thu
Middle West to study the condi
tons of Louisiana.
He refers particularly to the
work being done in Caddo Par
ish under the supervision of En-
glneer J. T. Bullin, and prints {
statement from Mr.. Bullin
which he says is so full oil
practical road sense as to be ap,
plicable to conditions in Iowa."
The Iowa Farmer says:
The people of the Middle
West who are wrestling with the
problem of permanent highways
will find it profitable to study
conditions in Louisiana. II
would hardly seem possible to
get ideas from that alleged de-
crepit old State in the Sunny
South that would pass current in
the hustling sections of the
great corn belt in the Middle
West, but such is the case be-
cause Louisiana is forging to the
front as one Of the most enthusi-
astic permanent road builders to
be found in the United States.
1t has not voted as a State the
large sums that New York has
available, neither has it had the
grafters and thieves to contend
with as has that State, but a
law prevails down in that cou n
try that permits parishes
counties we call them hereto
vote bonds for permanent road
building, and a number of par
ishes have taken advantage OF
the provisions of the law !" and
have issued bonds that perman-
ent highways may be construct
ed.
while touring that State re-
Gently we were amazed at the
vast amount of work being done
in road building. We were
whirled away in automobiles
over miles of the finest kind of
gravel roads in the vicinity of
Donaldsonville, in Assumption
Parish. Other parishes in that
section are developing a splen-
did system of highways. At
New iberia a stretch of highway
made of asphalt has been serv-
ing as an object lesson for the
past two years. At Crowley,
Jennings and at Lake Charles a
vigorous sentiment prevails for
permanent highways and CAL
casieu Parish of which Lake
Charles is the capital has voted
bonds to the amount of 5000, 600
which the city has added $780,
600, making over one million
dollars to be expended in per-
manent road building. A brick
pavement 8 feet wide and 125
miles in extent is being con-
structed with a strip of gravel
four feet wide on each side.
This paving costs about $40 600
a mile complete, including grad
ing and bridging. Within a few
months this parish will have 125
miles of permanent highway ano
already other roads are being
projected.
I'm Caddo Parish, of which
Shreveport is the capital, a five
mill tax for five years has beer
voted and the permanent high
way is being paid for as the
work progresses. 7. J. Bullen,
an engineer having the sanction
of the United States government
has the matter in charge and NJ
is better able to tell of the worl
than are we, so to submit here
