nents Permanent.

The biggest single issue before the
people today is good roads; biggest
not alone of itself, but biggest De-
cause the prompt and satisfactory So
luton of a permanent road system In
every state will help to solve hair-
dozen fundamental problems and IN
directly affect for good, as well as In
dollars and cents, almost every Phase
of farm, social and Industrial lie III
the state. We cannot expect to nave
a real system Of roads unless II is
based on large units and this Is pest
ACCOMPLISHED by accepting the county
and state basis with few experienced
and responsible men in charge IN eacn
case. We must have roads that peglh
and end somewhere.
MANY counties are presenting to the
taxpayers the question of bond issue
for the improvement of their nigh
ways. The bond issue for pubic
Improvement should be governed Dy
the same considerations which govern
a bond issue by any business organiza-
ton. When a manufacturing concern
issues bonds, the money raised is
placed In permanent improvements In
the plant which will last far beyond
the life of the bonds, or else no IN
weston would purchase the securities.
Bonds for municipal purposes or for
public improvements are not always
subjected to this acid test, and IN
stances are numerous in this country
where bonds for twenty years have
| been issued for the construction OF
public roads. where the type of roads
built with the proceeds of the bond
issue could not possibly last more than
ten years, and even then expensive
maintenance is continually necessary.
| In some instances history shows that
/ during the life of such bond issue
the original road has been worn out
and rebuilt with a different material,
| and with the proceeds of subsequent
bond issues as many as three times
| and still the original bonds are liza
bility on the community.
Bond issues for better roads are the
best means to pull counties out OF the
Land of Mud. But it must be certain
that the road improvements win las
the life of the bonds. This can be as
sured by securing expert and unpreju
Isdiced engineering advice on the hes
kind of roads for the soil. The bank
err can perform yeoman service in thii
connection.
In the state of Iowa the man who be
