the problem of road development In
these regions the federal government
should take Z hand. Many roads lead
through national forests whose lands
are not taxable. which means that
local TAXATION cannot be depended
upon to any considerable extent to
raise the money that Ia needed for
road betterment.
The government is already helping
with the work Of road improvement.
but It Is not helping enough. The ma
tional forests have been set aside %

automobile 10 rapidly enabling the
people Of all the states to enjoy them.
The government owes It to the general
public to build smooth roads through
its forest domain.
But We must zee that our roads and
our facilities warrant the govern
ment's expsnding money at the same
time. The town or locality with an
individuality is the one that appeals.
