Good Roads Aid Progress

that there is something wrong with conditions here. Such lands as we have, in the bot toms and the hills, lying idle, and begging for buyers, would be snapped up at five times the price if located in Minnesota, Illinois or Indiana.
 We have the remedy in our hands to correct this ailment of industrial conditions in Arkan- sas. The time has been when the people were eXcusable for poor roads. They no longer have an excuse for allowing such conditions to prevail. Un- der the Alexander law, passed by the last legislature, the peo- pie of any community, in any county may organize an inn provement district, sell bonds and build turnpikes and let a special tax levy against the lands thus benefited pay the debt in after years while the use of the good roads is being realized. Here we deem 1t of in- terest to call attention to the fact that 10 less than 30 conn- ties in Arkansas have already availed themselves of the pro- visions of the Alexander road law, pronounced by conserva- tive business men and farmers to be the most equitable meas ure ever proposed for the con- struetion of public highways in this state. One county alone has laid out 100 miles of roads to be immediately constructed at aeost of $50,000 to be realiz- ed from the sale of bonds, which will more than double in selling value, as a result of the construction of these roads.
 The farmers should bear in mind that good roads mean more to them than any other class of industry. They should also keep their eyes open to the fact that the most industri- ous opposition to road building under the pr0Visions of the Alexander road law. comes from land spectators and large holders of unproducing lands, who produce nothing, have no interest in common with those who do produce the substance of a living, except to get all they can out of 1t and at the same time avoid the pay ment of taxes for the better ment of the community, as they seldom have occasion to leave their homes in town to pass over the roads. The farmers of Arkansas must take the matter of securing for themselves good roads, if they want and expect to get them.

A we'll known politician said:
THE Republicans, unless they can

Therefore, 1t is only natural to assume
that the Republicans. anxious for vic

welt. whose personality and popularity
are as great as ever.
THE attitude OF Colonel Roosevelt
concerning our foreign relations must
also be taken into consideration as
