GOOD
ROADS
PROSPERITY IN GOOD ROADS
Future Development of Country Must
Begin With improved Highways
to Relieve Congestion.

There are today some 100000 miles
of rural roads in the United States. OF
this amount perhaps II per cent could
be classified as improved, while only
about One-fourth Of one per cent can
be said to be suitable for the carriage
of heavy-duty motortrucks. And in the
face of this condition it can be said
without chance of contradiction that
the future development Of the United
States rests upon the roads.
The past few years have witnessed
a tremendous turnover in transporta-
ton from the railway to the highway,
says Roy D. Chaplin, former chairman
of the highways transport committee
of the council Of national defense.
The congestion which prevailed during
the war made necessary the CONNER
cial utilization of the highway to an
extent thought impossible a scant few
years ago.
The motortruck, little known be-
fore the war, sprang into prominence
as a commercially practical form of
transportation, and while the fighting
has ceased the need for the motor
truck remains with US, more insistent
than ever before.
Within certain limitations the
freight car of the highway Is more
efficient than the rail carrier, and be-
cause OF 1t 1t may be taken as q per-
manent form of transportation and one
destined to have a large influence on
the movements of trade in the future.
The hour has struck when the fast
moving efficient motor vehicle of COM
MERGE must replace the horse and the
costly terminal charges which prevail
upon the shOrt-haul branches of the
rail lines. Already the motortruck
has become feeder to the railroad;
shortly 1t is destined to aid enormous
ly to the profitable long hauls, while
entirely or very nearly so eliminating
the improbable spurs.
Railroad men generally recognize
the new movement and welcome it.
Street railway men, not so keenIy
alert to its possibilities as a feeder to
their lines, have yet to take the full
est advantage of the opportunities
which it presents.
But back Of the mOtortruck rests
the road. While the highway as such
is Of little interest to those outside of
the engineering field, as a means for
transportation it becomes of vital i'm
portance to every citizen of the United
States, whether he be in profession or
trade, minister, q merchant, a doc
for. High and low, rich and poor, the
toad comes into contact with all of US,

we eat, wear, have.
"No one knows how much the coun-
try pays for cartage," said William c..
Redf1eld, secretary of commerce, re-
Gently, ''but anyone who looks into
the question is pretty sure to find out
that the figures are larger than he
thought it could be.
Yet carriage is but one phase of road
costs. Poor roads mean isolation.
which in turn mean fewer POSSIBLE
tiles for education, fewer opportuni-
ties for wealth, lower real estate val
uations as well as increased costs Of
supplies. Every sound. fundamental
economic reason speaks out for the
durable road, just as it protests against
the poor, inadequately constructed
highway.
Despite these facts, which will be
verified by all who have studied the
question, despite the fact that the Off
cial government figures placed the
hauling over the highways at 2,OOO,-
100000 ton-miles in 1917, our roads are
today all that they should not be.
They are Inefficient, inadequate, anti
Quated.
