EXTEND ROAD WORK

WITH ENTHUSIASM.
CARRY WAR TO IDLE CAMPS
the Excellent Results Obtained Tn.
der the Measure Passed by the
Thirty-fifth General Assembly.

Des Moines--The good roads prop
uganda is being carried into the
camp of the stragglers. The highway
commission is getting close up to the
enemy and Is planning that soon there
will be no insurgent territory.
Evidence Of the tangible results
flowing from the operation of the
new state highway law is being col
lected and disseminated If anyone
says the good roads are not being
built under the highway law, this or
that county is cits1 as an example
in proof not thot good roads can be
built but that they are being built. If
any one rails against the cost and
pessimistically cries out there are no
compromising benefits he is cited to
counties where 1t is shown that be-
yond question the new system has
been of vast benefit to the county in
saving dollars. II any one has a
crouch because roads are not drag
ged, under the new law, Illustrations
are given OF real road dragging which
is done right along
The other day members OF the
commission went to Oskaloosa to
hold good roads meeting for Ma
haska county and the facts regard
ing how the law works and what can
be done and why 1t is better to do
things right than to do them wrong,
were all pointed out Result: An en-
tire new view of the situation. Now
the board Of supervisors. the com
mercial organizations and various
other agencies making for progress
are going to get together and for
1914 give Mahaska county real
start.
Then the highway commission went
to Ottumwa and laid before the Com
mercial club the facts about the law
and how the thirty-fifth general as
sembly got the state started on the
right track as to road building and
other good things for the state. A
great awakening as to road building
is promised there. Other places are
to be invaded and wherever a county
has not taken hold Of the road work
in earnest 1t is given some serious
attention.
