ROYAL. LINE IN A DEMOCRACY
"Roads Rule the WorId-Not Kings or

stables or Soldiers"

In an argument for good roads some
wise man, whose name has been lost,
made use of the following: "Roads
rule the wOrld-nOt kings, nor con-
crosses, nor courts, nor constables,
not ships nor soldiers. The road is
the only royal line in democracy, the
only legislature that never changes,
the only court that never sleeps, the
only army that never quits. the first

cicty, the call from savagery in any
tribe, the high priest of prosperity

when the now map is made, 1t simply
pushes on its great campaign pf help,
hope, brotherhood, efficiency and
peace"
The value Of good roads may be
better understood when it is known
that the average cost to farmers of
the United States to transport produce
to market is more than % cents per
ton per mile. These figures do not in
clude the cost Of brcalzagc Of harness
or vehicles. The cost per ton per
mile over hard-surfaced roads is less
than half the present average

GAMER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Shows Greatest
Gain Over Present Conditions Is
Man on Branch Road.

The development of sentiment
for issuing bonds to build permanent
roads has brought to the surface many
questions which require careful con-
sideration and demand clearly stated
and convincing replies. or these, the
one recurring most frequently is:
what advantage is there in bond is
sue for the farmer who lives several
miles from one of the improved
roads?"
At first glance it would seem that
the man living directly upon the i'm
proved road obtains the greatest bene-
fits, but careful analysis proves that
the greatest gain over present condi-
tlons is the man on the side road.
With the limited road and bridge
funds usually available In any town
ship and the necessity of keeping the
main highways at least in passable
condition, little or nothing Is left for
working upon the less travelled roads.
AS repair expense practically ceases
when permanent roads are built, the
road and bridge funds formerly spent
.on main roads will be released for use
upon the side roads.
III addition, money spent upon these
side roads Will go five times as far,
or do five times as much work, as
