What Good Roads VIII Do

Good roads will do more toward
creating a demand for the great
supply Of idle land we have in Ark.
ansas than anything else. Only
about 20 per cent Of the eighty
million acres Of ullable land in
Arkansas is under cultivation and
the reason there Is no more under
cultivation Is because there are not
people enough TO do the work.
Good roads will bring people to our
state. Good roads makes land look
good, makes a farm look good, and
makes a country look good. The
value Of the property jumps up
with the building of a road. A
newcomer will be made to want the
land more because of the smooth,
easy ride to the farm than any other
one reason. Furthermore, good
roads encourage buyers to look over
the country. The greatest adver-
tisement a country may have Is
good roads. Immigration and folks
to farm the idle land will come with
the making of good roads. 1t
will cause them TO spread out be-
cause they can see a way to get to
town. With road improvement,
we will attract more people who
will bring more money, more
schools, more business and better
roads.
The greatest social benefit that
will be acquired from good roads is
the newborn relation between the
town and country. The road acting
as a connecting link that makes the
town closer to the country and the
country closer to the town. Town
folks and country folks brought
closer together will be to the mutual
advantage and profit Of both.
Schools are better on good roads,
easier to get to and from. | wish
our present road system was so we
could use all our free labor on the
roads leading to our county seat,
and in two years could have a
good road to Pocahontas on which
to pull our heavy loads in the VIM
ter time. Better for a man to pull
two or three miles over a bad road
to get TO a good road than tor ali to
be bad. We need more rock and
gravel in the muddy places.

Youngstown Officials Declare They
Can Prove Outlaw Charges Against
Iron and Steel Operators.

Youngstown, Ohio.-Prosccuting At
torney Henderson of Mahoning County
is preparing for an early trial of Judge
Gary of the United States steel corpora
ton and the officers of five other steel
concerns who were indicted last week by
the grand jury.
While steel and iron company cXecu-
tives make light of these indictments,
the following portion of the grand jury's
report indicates that the trial will at
least develop few educational features
on working conditions in the steel in
dustry in this vicinity:
I'VE find, however, that there is an
underlying cause back of not only the
strike and the dissatisfaction prevailing
among the men prior to the strike but
of the riot itself a cause which will be
| shown upon the trial of some of the
corporations and individuals against
whom charges have been made by this
jury as shown by the indictments return
ed herewith. This evidence is not of
such nature as should be exposed by
this report, but is such as will undoubt-
edly be uncovered to the satisfaction of
the court and OF the public in further
legal proceedings in connection with this
investigation. We are firmly of the opin-
ion that not only will this evidence show
a lawlcss condition of affairs surround
ing the labor conditions existing in and
about the steel industries of this valley
but will also indicate an absolute disre-
gard on the part of certain corporations
