GOOD ROADS THEMSELVES
is THE BEST ARGUMENT

"The best argument for good roads
are good roads themselves" said a
prominent banker the other day. eve
have never foreclosed mortgage on
, farm situated on a rock road. The
increase in farm values due to such
a road is nearly $40 an acre"
That banker was not an advocate
OF rock roads, but of good, perman-
ent roads. Rock happened to be the
best available road material in his
community. What he meant was
that good roads pay. Here are some
OF his arguments for good roads:
l. Good roads benefit more people
than any other public institution.
Saint and sinner, man and woman
and child, young and old, rich and
poor-all have share in the bene-
fits of good roads.
2. Good roads add to social ad-
vantages. They strengthen the coun-
try church, tend toward better living,
bring a good class of people into
community, and help to hold big
ger share of the best boys and girls
on the farm.
3. Good roads make it possible to
have better school advantages. In
the five states of the Union which
have the best system of public high
ways the average length of school
year is 100 days. In the five states
Ihat have given the least attention to
road improvements the school year
is less than half that long.
4. Good roads help in transport |
ing farm products. The farmers of
this Nation are annually losing |
$26O,000,000 because of their ina
bility to market their produce at GER
tain times Of the year.
5. Good roads reduce the cost Of
transportation. To haul a ton over
good roads costs seven cents a mile
over ordinary country roads, twenty
five cents mile. Mud tax and hill
climbing tolls, therefore, amount to
eighteen cents per mile.
6. Good roads give wider choice
Of time for marketing crops. If
roads were kept in condition to per-
NIT travel and hauling at all times
and in all kinds of weather, farmers
would not have to rush their produce
to market in seasons of good roads,
but could haul it when prices were
highest and when their crops did not
demand attention.
7. Good roads tend to equalize
farm business between different sea-
sons of the year. Uniformity of the
city prices depends much upon the
condition Of country roads.
There are various types of roads
that last, and each community should
choose the type that can be built and
maintained at the least expense. For
some communities it may be gravel,
for others concrete, for others sand
clay roads. But in every community

CARRIES
II COUNTIES
In Only a Did Nugent Have the
Most Votes

TRENTON, Sept. 25:-The nomi-
nation of Newton A. K. Bugbee, state
comptroller, Republican, of this city,
and Senator Edward /. Edwards,
Democrat, of Jersey City, as the can
didates of their respective parties for
governor was definitely confirmed by
additional returns of the primary
election received here today. AL
though the returns are still far from
complete and probably will remain
so until after the official canvass Of
the vote is made next Friday, 1t ap-
pears thai Mr.. Bugbee carried the
state by q plurality of approximately
5000 over Governor William N. Rum
yon, his nearest competitor. Senator
Edwards won over James r. Nugent,
the contender in the Democratic con-
test, by about 1900.
Based on the number of counties
carried, the Republican contest was
closer than the actual figures
indicate. Mr.. Bugbee emerged from
the fight a victor in twelve of the
twenty-one counties, while Governor
Runyon was successful in eight. Com
missioner Thomas l.. Raymond, Of
Essex, captured his own county
alone. Warren c.. King, the fourth
Republican candidate in the field, re-
ceived only a scattering vote of neg
ligible proportions. senator var
carried seventeen counties and Mr..
Nugent four.
The nomination of Mr.. Bugbee and
Mr.. Edwards leaves the liquor situa-
ton at the coming elections somewhat
Mr.. Edwards Is opposed
to prohibition, though not so radically
against enforcement of the prohibit
ton amendment as was Mr.. Nugent.
Mr.. Bugbee takes the position that
prohibition Is not an issue in the cam
paign and he is determined if possible
to keep any declaration upon h sub
ject out of the party platform to be
adopted next Tuesday. To his per-
sonal friends Mr.. Bugbee is known as
opposing the principle of prohibition,
although he is credited with having
supported first a local option plank
and then a prohibition plank in state
platforms of former years.
1t is probable h a the Democraticl
platform will declare against prohi-l
bition, but not against enforcement OF
the eighteenth amendment while 1t re-
mains a part of the constitution. The
declaration on this question will prob
ably precipitate a fight in the Demo-
state convention ext week,
where Mr.. Nugent will have a follow-l
ing of twelve Assembly candidates
Essex.

ASSEMBLY FOR
CHURCH LEAGUE
Presbyterian Church Executive
Commission at Meeting

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 25.-Par-
ticipation by the Presbyterian Church
Of the United States of America, of
which Woodrow Wilson Is a ruling ell
der, in a projected league of Evangeli-
can churches comprising 10000, 900
communicates, was made the subject
to seven reservations at a meeting
Of the Executive Commission Of the
Presbyterian General Assembly yes
terday.
The Presbyterian Chruch favors
the proposed inter-church movement
both nationally and internationally,
but takes exceptions to certain phases
of the proposed plan of federation"
it was stated after the Rev. DR.. Swear
ingen of st. Pauls had resented the
report of the committee which has
represented the General Assembly in
Inter-Church Council on Federation.
One of the most important grounds
for the seven reservations is the plan
for financing the proposed church of
federated denominations. The inter-
church council has advocated n gen.
eral pool from which funds should be
apportioned. The General Assembly
favors a simultaneous drive for funds
by each of the eighteen denomina-
lions which have been invited to join
the inter-church movement, but holds
that each denomination should ad-
minister its own finances.
