MAINTAINING EARTH ROADS.

w. S. Gearhart, state highway en-
gineer of Kansas, who has built many
miles of earth roads in that state. has
the following to say as to what main
tenance really means:
Nearly all work done on an earth
road except reduction of grades, cor
rection of horizontal alignment, build
ing of drainage structures, and ellmi-
nation of railway grade crossings, is
temporary and should properly be con-
sidered maintenance.
Doing permanent work is COM
paratively easy matter, for when Cn"9
it is done correctly it will last foI a
number of years. The maintenance Of
an earth road, however, is never
ending JOB. 1t is like milking the
COWS and doing other chores, for the
builder knows that the work of main.
tenance will have to be done over
again and he can never feel that it Is
in any sense permanent.
For the present the earth road has
a bad reputation The trouble is not
so much with the material of which
the road is composed as with our sys-
TEN or lack of system or manage
ment Other types Of roads when
treated as we treat earth roads are
much more expensive and serve the
public little if any better. The vast
Improvement that can be made Of our
present earth roads by intelligent di-
rection in their construction and main
tenance is little realized by the public,
and the serviceability of properly
maintained earth road is not appre-
ciated when compared to other types
of roads as to cost Of construction.
Successful construction and main
tenance Of any kind Of road depends
upon the recognition by the public and
the builders of few fixed and funda.
mental requirements.
"One practical, we'll paid road build
er should be made responsible for the
upkeep of a certain section of road
and should be employed throughout
the year, his tenure of office being
made dependent entirely upon the
character Of service rendered. The
graded portion of the road should be
elevated and crowned so that the wat.
er from every section of the road sur
face will flow into the side ditches"

''The women of the Western States
elected Wilson" This triumphant slo-
Ian was shouted throughout the coun-
try. There was little attempt at con.
tradiction for the Western states usu
ally supported the Republican candi
date. The South particularly felt hap.
py over four years Of Democratic poll
cy. The southern politician gallantly
DOTTED his hat to the women who saved
the Democratic party. And then sew
sral southern legislatures ungallantly
refused to raise their southern women
TO the political status OF western
women.

The Legislature of 1917 will go
down In history as one of the most
constructive in many years. A little
furry Of scandal, a possible excess of
focal legislation, lack Of proper de.
liberation on account OF the restriction

detract from the facts of actual work
AOne. The General Assembly has for
the most part worked harmonously
with the governor in the realization of
his program, and he has assured the
lawmakers that he is willing to ac-
cept full political responsibility for
the consequences.
