ORGANIZING OUR FLYING FORCES

At the suggestion of Thomas A. Edison, says the New York World,
engineers. xpert and constructors interested in aeronautcs have taken
steps to organize their forces This is the first move made in line with
he vernments new policy. Though at first it amounts to nothing
ncr than taking account of ne small part of the nation resources, 1t
is the Tor significant because it is contrary to TIL usual American
practice OF locking the stable door only after the horse is stolen.
In Washington until recently there has been a disposition to regard
AVIATION as a science to be developed solely by private enterprise. n
number OF aeropanes owned by the government is ridEuously small
From the niggardlness OF congress in this respect it might be supposed
that the air machine a still in the first experimental stages Or as TT
only for the showmans purposes.
It has surprised observers how rapidly al industry that III WI
government has studiously neglected has riser to importance under tn
keen demand from abroad for its products. The export OF aeroplanes OF
late has shown what this country is capable OF doing should occasion
arise That of trained aviators here there is a proportonate supply :
more than doubtful.
1t has remained for a man OF Mr.. Edsons scientific foresight t
point the way to providing for possible contingencies by simple &C.
operation.

WE WANT BETTER ROADS

With automobiles in large numbers tearing through the country at
thirty miles a hour, and the ordinary traffic increasing steadily, the
matter OF better country roads is becoming a vital question with every
rural community in the country.
The size Of or ROT is not the only thing to be considered when
specializing upon the future prosperity of the nation. matter OF
getting these crops to market in the quickest possible time a at east
expense is OF the most important problems w e have to cal with
today.
1t is al indiputable fact that automobile traffic III great ruts in
M country roads tears them to pieces, and renders the hauling OF
heavy leads of farm produce douoly difficult
But there is a remedy, and it should be applied.
We shoull build better roads-HARD ROADS.
II IT requires a bond issue to do it, then let us have the bonds.
The increased facilities for marketing products, and the increase IN
acreage as a result Of improved road conditions, would more than offset
the small interest o the bonds.
1t is a cold, sane, hard headed proposition for the material welfare
of the whole community, and should be taken up and carried through
to completion by the proper authorities without loss of time.
Wherever you find high grade country roads, there you invariably
find a prosperous class OF people.
We need them here, and w e al accommodate all OF the prosperity
that follows in their wake.
