ROADS IN THE FALL
Every Township Should Own Gravel
Pits From Which Material Can
Be cheaply Obtained.

There is a growing demand for more
and better roadmaking during the au-
tumn months. In many localities the
roads become filled with deep ruts and
the wheel tracks so depressed during
the summer that they collect rains
which soon wash them into cutters
and ruin the roads for heavy loads and
comfortable travel.
There is no reason why a portion OF
the road tax should not be used for
putting the highways in better CON
dition for travel The split-log drag
and other roadmaking implements
should be put to work before the
ground freezes. The outside Of the
roads should be brought into the cen
ter of the track, which will establish
a crust that will shed water, rather
than retain rains, which are sure to
occur during the late fall and early
spring months.
Roads having full high center are
quite sure to remain in a good condi-
ton during the rainy season OF fall
and spring. Steep hills, where water
is apt to collect in wheel tracks, should
be provided with open cutters on each
side into which rains may be diverted
with an occasional crest which r. err
cannot pass. Approaches to bridge and
culverts should be so filled with earth
that vehicles OF all kinds may pass
over them without serious jolts and
lars. Roads are much improved when
covered with gravel. This is a sea
son of the year when such work can
be accomplished at a minimum ex-
pense.
Every township should own gravel
pits. from which roadmaking material
can be cheaply obtained. Concrete
roads viii soon become popular. The
same material should be used in max
ing bridges and culyerts. A good quail
ity of sand and gravel is necessary to
make serviceable concrete. Every
farmer should have an especial inter.
est in all roads joining his place and
leading to market

UNRAvEL ROAD LEGISLATION
Joint Committee Working TO Bring
About Simplicity, Efficiency and
Uniformity Of Laws.

To bring about revision of state
road laws along lines that will insure
simplicity, efficient management, and,
where desirable, uniformity, is the
task undertaken by a special Joint
committee appointed at the third
American road congress and repre-
senting the American Bar association
and the American Highway associa-
ton. The magnitude, intricacy and
political and technical difficulties Of
the undertaking are discussed In an
article prepared for the Engineering
Record by ]. e. Pennybacker, chief
Of the division OF road economies OF
the United States Office Of public roads.
Between three and four million
words comprise existing road legisla-
ton in the several states, according to
the estimate of officials in the ONCE Of
public roads. This great wilderness
OF words would make up an edition OF
30 fair-sized volumes. In view of the
comparative simplicity of the sub
ject, this vast accumulation OF stat
utes, according to Mr.. Pennybacker, is
a scathing commentary on the con-
structive craftsmanship of our legis-
lators for many generations. There is
scarcely a doubt that at least So per
cent Of the legislation is superfiuous,
and that, entirely aside from the mat
ter of reform, exactly the same pur-
poses contemplated in the existing leg
islation could be accomplished with
greater effectiveness with one-eighth
of the existing statute laws.
The compilers have found legisla-
ton still in effect almost identical as
to form and substance with the old
colonial road laws, which we're in turn
based upon English precedent, extend
ing back to the time of Queen Eliza
beth; they have found statutes so
hopelessly in conflict as to make eff
cient and responsible administration
utterly impossible. AS an example Of
the bewildering confusion of existing
legislation, the compilers came across
in the statutes of one OF our most pro
gressive states a recent enactmen
amending a road law which was re
pealed two years before the amend
ment was passed, and yet APPARENT!
none of the legislators have thus IA
become acquainted with the situation

A watch that accurately indicates
the exact time elapsed since the last
time It was wound has recently been
placed on the market. The face OF
the timekeeper is provided with a
small dial near the top Of the regular
dial, which has a small hand that
shows when the handspring was last
wound and also records the progress
of its unwinding, thus showing at a
glance when the watch needs re-wind'
ing.

The recent action of the Interstate |
Commerce Commission in granting an !
Increase in freight rates in the eastern /
classification Of territory; the applica-
ton of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances of President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare of the farmers squarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities of the
United States are inadequate to eff
fectively meet the demands OF COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If in the wis
dom Of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an improvement in our
transportation service, and an extern
sion of our mileage, then an Increase
should be granted, and the farmer Is
willing to share such proportion Of
the increase as Justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines Of Least Resist
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
, had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
ICED tonnage they have hammered the
life out of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad COM
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side of
the case and. as a result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product c the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate Of
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro-
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
| give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products Of
| the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.
