Getting good roads is easy enough.
It means in the main just a willing
ness to spend the money required.
Keeping good roads is more dlfflcnit.
and requires change in certain haD-
it's of the public mind which have
been SO prevalent that some social
philosophers have referred to them
as a peculiar weakness OF the Amer
lean character. rs -. .3HI *
When we Americans want to re;
form or change something we are
too prone to pass law about it, and
then forget it, also forgetting that
the best laws are useless unless con-
sistently enforced. So in our past eff,
forts for better roads we have been
prone to put In a pavement and
then forget about keeping it in re-
pair. f-a tEtfrs,
Millions of dollars have been
.suuandered in this country on pay
ing, not because "the contractor was
dishonest" but merely because the
people who paid for it didn't also
provide for looking after it : right
from the start-permitted repairs to
be neglected until it was necessary
practically to do the work over again.
Hundreds OF travellers have told
US about the splendid roads of
France and other countries. Ninety
nine per cent of them didn't see the
man whose daily work justified their
admiration-the old fellow with his
hammer and his heaps of stones
who went over his little section ev-
cry working day in the year and
defects as they occurred
We have a great zeal just now
for getting good roads. We are 60
ing to spend a lot Of money on them.
Much of it will be wasted unless we
consider the keeping of
good roads.

tanned the following admirable trib-
ute to Abraham Lincoln: s.*#
..Today the nation stands by MUIR
dered Lincoln's bier. But 1t turns
to that hallowed spot not so much
to register a sense Of grievous loss
as of rich and full possession. Lin.
coin lives. There is something or
him in the air we breathe, in the
thoughts we think, in the aims we
cherish as a nation. Life for every
true American has been altered
somewhat-and altered for the bet
ter-by the example of the great
President whose 'perplexed and pa
tient eyes grew still" just fifty years
ago today. Patriotism is fuller, rich
er, keener; self-abnegation just "a
little easier; nobility a little nearer
to our reach, because he lived and
died. His triumph was complete.
No word of malice, hatred, envy now
survives. I Clear in the light Of truth
his work stands out. His memory
is/like a benediction laid on North
and South alike. May. we, on this
day of days, dedicate ourselves anew
to the high aims for which he gave
the last full measure OF devotion. Il

uous upkeep, for which financial and
supervisory provisions must be made.
Ninth.-That cash Is a much more
satisfactory form Of tax than is labor.
Tenth.-That all agencies at the dis
posal Of the state, capable of 8 in
works Of public improvement, should
be so used rather than In such com.
mercial production as would conflict
with private enterprises.
The first axiom means, among other
things, that the country road Is q mat.
tere Of importance to others besides
those who live on It or travel over 1t.
1t takes the products Of the farms to
the city and the products Of the city
factories to the farms.
The second axiom, that the degree OF
the improvement should be proportion,
ate to the traffic importance Of the
road, If strictly observed, would do
away with one Of the most fertile
sources Of waste and extravaganza IN
road improvement.
II the third axiom Is rigidly observed
there will be no danger Of the commu-
nifty being left with a bonded indebt,
edness for which there 10 no improve
ment to show In return. 1t must be re-
membered, however, that, although no
road as q whole is permanent, certain
features Of II, such az the location and
grading, are x
The fourth, nth, sixth and seventh
axioms strike at the notion which used
to be more prevalent than it Is now,
that road building is merely a matter
Of putting q certain number Of people
to work for a certain length Of time.
For similar reasons specialists now
strongly urge as a general proposition
the abolition Of any form Of labor tax
for the upkeep Of roads. The equiva-
lent in cash will produce much better
results for the reason that experienced
men car find steady employment by
being put to work in the places where
they are most needed.
The final axiom, that all agencies st
the disposal of the state should be used
as far as possible for public improve
ment instead Of commercial produc.
ton. refers, Of course, to convict labor
upon the road. Under the guidance Of
skilled men there is nc reaso why this
could not be done satisfactorily. The
axiom, however. goes further than
this, for It implies the utilization Of
various other agencies that have moth.
ing to do with the state prfsons-the
state geOlogist, FOR example,; the fac
ulty Of the state university, the state
bureau Of statistics and agriculture
and tina state civn service commission.

Fifth.-That responsibilities should

Sixth.-That continuous employment
is more conducive to efficient service
than intermittent and temporary en-

Seventh.-That the specialists who
