FAITH IN GOOD ROADS
Country Spending 100000 900
Yearly on Improvements.
Ratio Expected to Be Double That
Amount in Next Deeade-oovern-
ment Won't Aid Community
That Doesn't Help Itself.

The country Is now spending we'll
toward $200,O00OOO a year on rural
roads-perhaps twice what 1t was
spending for that purpose ten years
ago. Faith In good roads probably
increased during the decade In an
even greater ratio, and 1t will be sur
prising If the expenditure ten years
hence Is not double $20O,OOO,OOO.
This is mainly, of course, an effect
Of the motor car but a lot of people
misjudge the motor car because they
forget-Or do not know-that In all
the more prosperous rural regions a
gasoline vehicle nowadays is Just
about as standard an implement as a
moving machine. The day has long
gone by when good roads agitation
could be dlscredlted by ascribing 1t to
bloated urban plutOcrats who wanted
to ride comfortably.
BY an act that became law last
month the federal government pur-
poses to contribute $75OOO,OOO for
good country roads used by the postal
service, sharing the expense equally
with the states or other local units.
The work is to be done on specifica-
lions approved by the department of
agriculture, duly inspected and ap-
proved.
The federal government ought to
contribute, for highways are legiti-
mate national interest. Under this
law it helps no community that does
not first help itself. Its participation
will tend powerfully to standardize
road building ami TO distribute the re-
suits of experience; so it should tend
to give better quality of road for no
greater cost.
twenty-five years ago any given So
called public highway was usually the
exclusive affair of a board of super
visOrs or commissioners who ruled
for year over a territory three or
four miles square. Presently the coun-
ties came in; then the states; now the
federal gOvernment-which is as 1t
should be.-Saturday Evening Post.
