ROAD
BUILDING
MAINTENANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Farmers Urged to Vote Against Bonds
or Taxes Whenever Plans Do
Not Provide fc- Up-keep.

The progressive farmer believes In
good roads, as everybody knows. No.
body needs good roads more than the
farmer and his family. Good roads
increase profits and enrich social life.
Poor roads cost more than good ones.
At the same time, we have reached
the conclusion that ii is Il patriotic
duty to advise our readers to vote
against road bonds or road taxes
whenever the plans for building the
roads Go not include proper provision
for maintaining them after they are
built. 1t is just as foolish to spend
money to build a road. without at the
Came'timc providing for funds to keep
It up rs it would be TO spend money
to get n horse without providing feed
for Lin after he is bought. The South
has wasted millions and millions by
building roads without keeping them
up. and it is high time to stop vast
ine the peoples tax money in this
fashion. We must aim not merely to
get good roads but to keep good roads.
Another important matter is that
Of having all road expenditures made
under expert supervision. Secretary
Of Agriculture Houston says: The
nation today is spending annually the
equivalent OF more than soc. 900. 900
for roads. Much OF this is directed by
local supervisors and it is estimated
by experts that of the amount so d.
rected anywhere from 80 to 40 per
cent Is. relatively speaking. wasted
or misdirectcd.' Every state should
have a state highway commission, and
the people should not vote money for
any expensive scheme OF country o
improvement until 1t has been ap
proved by experts.
The third matter we wish to en-
phasize is the Importance of the road
drag. AS we have said before. the
drag is undoubtedly the cheapest good
roads maker ever invented. and II
some commercial company had pat.
entcd it and sold it at five times its
cost, every county in the South would
be using it. 1t is SO simple and cheap
that people will not realize what a
wondcr-workcr it is. The time to pre-.
vent next winters bad roads is now.
and the way to prevent them is to
make plans to have the roads dragged
Every farmer interested ought to SEQ
his county road authorities and demand
action. Send to the United States
department of agriculture, Washing.
