You can take it on the guarantee
that this country is never going to
have good roads until the money
is raised to build them with. Ev-
erybody you see announces himself
in favor of good roads, and almost
everybody you see has a system of
making good roads. There are as
many road systems scattered over
the country as there are cures for
the measles, and many Of them are
about as valuable as a quack doc
tors prescription. The trouble
with the roads is quite apparent,
and the trouble about remedyine
them is that the money is not at
hand. If we really want good
roads it is not strange that they are
going 10 cost something. 1t would
be a strange experience, however,
if good roads were not worth much
more to the country than they cost
