MEREDITH ON ROADS.

do not assume to anticipate the
action Of the Democratic State Con
vention which in July will express
in its platform the crystahzed Sen
timent OF the Democracy of Iowa up
on the question of good roads as we'll
as upon other live issues; but as a
candidate In the primaries for the
office OF Governor, l do wish to
state my position that the people oi
Iowa may know exactly where
stand.
l am tor better roads than we
now have in Iowa, both because OF
what it means to the state in de
velopment along social lines, and be
cause good roads are real money
makers for the farmers who live
upon them and bring a real advance
In the value Of lands adjacent to the
highways.
l do not advocate that roads be
built of brick, cement, asphalt o.
other costly materials, but I dc
urge the use Of gravel whenever
available or can be procured at 9
reasonable cost. I am in favor o1
having the roads SO graded and sur
faced that they may be Travelled 36s
days In the year. sa
| A to Rayang s.or Improved roads
II am not Ia faNsr q incrsasing oul
tax leyies, local or stAte. p dollar
Tho money now paid In taxes will
II spent properly and under com
Iprehensive plan, pay Tor permanent
roa's without increasing the burdens
OF taxation.
The people OF the communities Il
be served by the road must have 3
voice In determining by their votes
first whether they want the improv
ed road and second what kind Of 9
road they shall have. I am net in
favor of forcing improved roads
upon any community that does not
desire them. AS to plan. II Will
agree to any feasible plan. I want
a plan so fair and just to all that it
will appeal to the people of every
community and result in its accep
tance by the people Of every county
In the state.
