A Good.Rouds Dream Unfolding

DY all means let Governor Westmoreland
- Davis call the General Assembly of Vir-
gnia in extraordinary session to consider the
matter OF good roads and devise plan for
making them reality instead of dream.
To the average citizen it is difficult to under
stand how he can avoid issuing the call, for
the emergency will not be denied. Perhaps
no greater emergency has faced the State in
the past twenty years, and certainly it has
been called on TO contemplate project
fraught with more important economical and
social results since the days of the War Be-
tween the States. 1t may be taken for granted,
of course, that the Governor, whatever
may be his final decision, will be guided by
what he believes to be for the best interests
of Virginia. He is pursuing his customary
businesslike policy in refusing to be rushed
to a conclusion that might prove premature
and unwse. Ee is moving deliberately, and
when his announcement is made 1t will be
after he has investigated carefully every
phase of the important question at issue and
is prepared to back his determination with
all the facts and figures that humanity
obtainablc. Calling the body Of Virginia S
lawmakers to Richmond is an undertaking
Of no small moment not to be decided Off
hand and lightly, and it is not impossible
that the Governor will find some reason why
it is not advisable, but on the surface at least
no such reason has appeared, and the belief,
certainly the wish, is that he will issue the
call
When the General Assembly was in session
in 1918 Tho Times-Dispatch, always an
ardent leader in and an untiring advocate Of
the good-roads movement, opposed the levy
ing Of what seemed cxorbitant tax for
roads, having in mind the fact that tho coun-
try wa at war and that tho State Treasury,
not overburdcned with funds, might be called
on for immense expenditures in the public
defense 1t did, however, as it always has
done, champion liberal policy toward good
roads. Conditions now are changed vitality
from what they were ono year ago. No
longer does crisis face Virginia. The armies
which it sent TO the Colors returning
TO its fold. The treasury has not been called
TO face tue heavy expenditures which it
was feared might drain it. The public mind
is thinking along different lines. Then thorc
was but ono thought-war, how best TO prose-
cutc it and its possible consequences TO tho
state. Now tho ono thought is rcconstruc-
ton. upbuilding, industry, revival OF COM
norcc, universal employment and care OF the
soldiers who are coming back.
So it is that the good-roads question now
can be approached with clearer mind, with
moro definite purpose, and with the certain
knowledge that the great, loyal and progress
siye citizcnry OF Virginia will support the
Governor should he issue the call TO the
Assembly, and will uphold the hands OF the
Assembly in whatever steps it may deem adj
visable to take in lifting the State out OF
the mud and putting 1t beside its sister States
on the high plane Of modern roads.
