hearers to help get the bill through

w. r, harrington spoke on the same
subject, declaring that cooperation is
necessary to aid in the passage Of the

ROADS
ROADS REDUCE LIVING COST
Make for Prosperity More Than Any
Other National Undertaking, Says
Alaskan Engineer.

"Good roads, more than any other
national undertaking, make for the
prosperity, happiness and contentment
Of the people" declared Col. w. P.
Richardson, engineer in charge Of high
ways in Alaska. This is particularly
evident at this time, when in every
large city there IS protest against the
high prices of food. In my judgment,
good roads, more than any other
agency, will help to solve permanent
ly the high cost Of living. Transporta-
ton, of course, is ut the foundation
of prices. 1t is truthfully said that
where there is inadequate transporta-
ton food prices mount high. We know
that in cities prices are greatly in ex-
cess of those in rural districts and it
Is all matter of transportation and
distribution. If we have good roads,
we can get our products to market. II

POOR ROADS ARE EXPENSIVE
Mistaken Idea That Improved High
ways Are Solely for Benefit Of
Automobile Owners.

Poor roads are very expensive things
for country communities. The farmer
who thinks that improved highways
are mainly for the benefit of those who
drive automobiles should reflect on
the results of a recent investigation by
the department of agriculture, which
finds that the cost Of hauling farm
produce over ordinary country roads
is % cents a ton mile, whereas over
hard-surfaced roads it is only ID cents.

we haven't, we cannot. Products on
the farm are worth nothing if they
cannot find a market. I am convinced
that the most important governmental
work is in the improvement of the
roads. In this day Of motor trucks
it is much easier to haul products to
the cities or to railroad terminals than
it was few years ago, but we must
have good roads to do it. There is not
the slightest doubt that good roads
many times over pay for themselves.
They are a fundamental economic ne
cessity.

good roads may seem large, but it is
