The absolute necessity of build
ing good roads even in these
times of war, in order to meet
the transportation situation, has
been repeatedly emphasized by
the Manufacturers Record.
Whatever interests it may be
necessary to let up on in war
times, the country cannot afford
to let up on the building of good
roads and good streets. To do
so would be as great a mistake
as it would be to entirely discon-
tinue all railroad expansion or
the increase of cars and locomo-
tives. The great pressing prob
lem before the nation from the
viewpoint of the producer and
the consumer of fooIstuffs and
of manufactured products, and
of the army and navy also, is
that of transportation, or distri-
button.

has issded d bulletin setting forth
the need for the use of our inter-
nal waterways to help to meet
the railroad congestion. All
that is said in that bulletin as to
the Importance of water trans
portation only serves to empha-
size the Importance of road trans
portation and use of motor truck.
The seriousness of this trans
portation condition cannot be
overstated, and it will grow more
and more acute af the months go
by.
This Bulletin of the Depart
ment of Commerce, referring to
the radical measures being taken
by the railroads to help meet the
situation, reports that one road
has already cancelled 200 passen-
ger trains from it's summer
schedule, and that another has
withdrawn 40 such trains and
special trains for convention
traffic are being refused. Yet
even with the adoption of meth
DDS of this kind the facilities of
the railroads are insufficient for
the task laid upon them, and the
outlook for the future seems GER
tain to make problem even more
serious than it is today. This
bulletin quotes a railroad official
as saying: "It will be absolutely
necessary to use such transport
tation as there is for essential
things. The public should give
up nonessential."

grown with increasing intensity
until to day we are face to face
with a complete railroad break
down at a time when vastly in
creased transportation is neces-
sity. We have during the last
five or six years constantly reit-
Grated that the building of good
roads and the use of motor truck
and automobiles was the most
important help left to supple
ment the breakdown of the rail-
road facilities of the country.
Good roads construction with all
possible energy is demanded in
this time of war, for we shall
need road transportation during
the war period and for years af-
forwards far more acutely than
We have needed it in the past.
Railroads of necessity are cut
ting out many passenger trains.
They are unable to haul the
freight that is being offered, and
the whole business interests of
the country are being congested
and hampered by inadequate
railroad facilities. This is true
even now when we have scarce
ly begun to get ready for war.
1t will grow with more intensity
as the magnitude of war oper-
atoms increases. 1t can not be
met in any way except by the
building of good roads wherever
this can be done, and the fullest
utilization of automobiles and
motor trucks, though water
transportation also must be utiI-
lied wherever possible.
The automobile is not any
longer a pleasure vehicle when
looked at from this standpoint.
1t is a necessity, vital to the life
of the country and to the main
tenance of it's business oper-
ations. Under present condi-
tons it is impossible to increase
our railroad facilities rapidly
enough to overcome existing con-
ditions, nor can we increase rail-
road building and railroad cars
and locomotives in the next five
or ten years rapidly enough to
keep up with the demands of the
times. We can, however, mate
rally supplement railroad work
aud help to relieve the conges-
ton by building good roads, solid
and substantial enough to stan d
the heaviest traffic that can be
put upon them, and by the full.
est utilization of the automobile
and the motor truck.
1t becomes essentially import
ant, therefore, that towns and
counties and states shall fully
recognize this situation and see
to the building of good roads as
rapidly as they can be built,
with a full understanding of the
fact that this is a war necessity
and needed more to-day than in
times of peace. The automobile
