NARROW TIRES
RUIN ROADS
Road Improvement Bodies Are Advo-
eating Use Of Wider Tires-Some
Press Comment.

The road improvement folk are
taking up the subject Of wide tires 1t
is now found that the narrow tire is
as destructive of improved rural
roads as it is of so-called macadam
pavement in the city. AS far as that
goes, the narrow tire must be the
cause of much trouble and cutting of
the dirt road. The following is max
ing the rounds Of the Iowa press:
Iowa is unfortunate from the
standpoint of good roads in that the
use of the narrow tired wagon is al
most universal. There is no gerater
destructive force in Iowa today than
the narrow tired wagon.
Oklahoma, after an extensive study
of the question in her new road legis-
lation, forbids the sale of any draft
wagon of two tons capacity, or great
er, and having iron or steel tires
with tire width Of less than three
inches. The law applies to the deal
err and the penalty is a fine of not less
than $500 nor more than SIS for each
vehicle sold in violation of the act
Iowa, instead of forbidding the sale
of the narrow tired vehicle, offers a
bonus for the farmer who voluntarily
makes use of the wide tire.
Long continued tests by the United
States office of public roads has
shown conclusively that for the
average farm wagon used for gen.
