that the expense of road improve
ment should not be borne ma My by
the farmers, as at the present. The
principal of rate making for most
classes of public service is that the
charge for the service should be
based on the use made of it. Road
improvements form class which
heretofore has generally been ex-
empt from the application OF this
principle. II more traffic enumera-
tions are made like with those in
progress in Iowa. the injustice OF
putting most of the expense for i'm
provement of market roads on farm
ers will lead eventually to a change
in this policy.
1t has been known for sometime
that there are more automobiles In
Iowa, in proportion to the popula-
ton. than in any other State. The
returns from the traffic census show
that these automobiles are being
St. Tammany farmer., 1917-09-08

USED very frequently. 1Hcy are HOT
pleasure vehicles, for Sunday ex-
cursions. II the returns which are
included July 4 are thrown out be-
cause of the unusual traffic on that
day, the proportion of motor We
hicles to horse veh. .cles using the
roads ranges from 2 to l on one
road to 18 to l on another road.
The average proportion at all eight
stations, including the counts made
on July 4, shows that eleven motor
vehicles were used to one horse We
hicle. 1t was also observed that
these roads were carrying an average
of 3S7 vehicles daily. When it is
cons dered that this traffic was car
ried on dirt roads, as rule, it is
evident that the construction and
maintenance of Iowa roads with the
funds available for the purpose is
very hard problem to solve salts
factorily.
One of the most instructive fea-
lures of the census returns is the
information regarding the use of
motor trucks. One one Grad there
were five horse-drawn trucks for
every four motor trucks, the lowest
proportion of the latter at any of
motor trucks. On one road there
there were 2.6 motor trucks for each
horse truck and on another road
there were 3.3 motor trucks for
each horse truck. The average Of
all the stations was IL motor trucks
for each horse truck 1t goes with
out saying that this proportion will
be changed during the season when
heavy trucking is being done from
the farms to the market towns. II
IL expected that the proportion Of
St. Tammany farmer., 1917-09-08
6 i||||| ||9|(|!E|
horse trucks to motor trucks will be
much higher then. Motor trucking

morse trucks TO motor trucks WILL tD0
much higher then. Motor trucking
has come SO. rapidly into favor
among farmers, and trucking COM
panies in cities are sending so many
trucks into the country to haul ag-
fcultural products to market, that
it would be surprising il the returns
of traffic during the heavy hauling
period do not show that motor
trucks are rapidly becoming esses
tial for the farmer.
This fact adds to the difficulties
Of maintaining dirt roads, such as
are rapidly becoming essential for
the farmer.
This fact adds to the difficulties
of maintaining dirt roads, such as
are so numerous in Iowa. While
someth ng can be done, by regulat-
ing the loads and speed of motor
trucks to- reduce their destructive
influence on dirt roads, there is no
form of maintenance, so far as Is
now known, which will keep dirt
road in good condit on when many
motor trucks are operated at more
than very moderate speed over 1t.
1t would be interesting and instruc-
tive to determine the effect on dirt
and gravel roads of trucks operated
at different speeds, for it is possible
that speed may be found the most
important factor IN determining the
destructive effect of such vehicles.
II this should prove the case. road
officials will have means of con-
/ trolling the destruction of their low
cost roads until they are able to se-
cure he funds for the construction
of surfaces better adapted for such
traffic.

SURPRISING RESULTS IN IOWA
ROAD BUILDING.

Some surprising information con-
cerning the use of roads in several
Iowa counties has been obtained by
a traffic census which is being car
ried on by the Iowa State College and
State Highway Commission. The
census is by no means complete and
the results obtained up to the pres
ent time may be materially modified
by later information. They show,
however, that the travel over Iowa
roads is of character that makes
the improvement Of such roads a
matter requiring careful thought
and sound judgment.
The following facts relate to the
travel counted at eight stations on
highways laading into market towns
of considerable importance. These
roads are known as tourists high
ways, yet the census shows unex-
pectedly that only three per cent of
the traffic could be classed as tour
ist. The counts were made during
the tourist season and should put to
rest the assertion that road improve
ments are mainly for the advantage
Of people who made no payment OF
taxes toward the cost of the better
ments. As a matter of fact, the
great bulk of the traffic, 81 per cent,
was between towns, what would be
called interurban traffic by electric
railway companies. The traffic from
farms along the roads amounted to
only 10 per cent of the total.
Attention is called to this distri-
button of the traffic because it en-
phasizes the fact that towns and
cities have a direct interest in road
improvements. Where more than
three-fourths of the travel over
mainroads originates in towns along
those roads, as is the case IN the
Iowa highways which have been un-
der observation, it is self evident
