RURAL EXPRESS
NEEDS HIGHWAYS

1t has been said that when things
have grown so old that they are al
most forgotten they again become
new and are adopted TO meet our pres
ent day needs. Transportation over
the highways is one OF them. It comes
10 us from the misty past.
We have always held to the high
ways in sense, but in our endeagor
to rlodernize things we have neglect
cd highway transportation TO our det-
riment and almost to our peril. IN n
way. this neglect has not been inten-
tional FOR the reason that in these
days OF rapid progress we have not
had proper medium to use over them
until the advent of the motor truck.
County, State. and nation had not
considered 1t necessary to build per-
manent highways, as no great de-
mandS had been made for their use as
lanes OF commerce.
We have witnessed the opening up
of the West by the prairie schooner.
We have sen how the waterways have
served in building up a mighty na-
tion, and how the railroad has trans
formed distance and has made US a
homogeneous nation.
II is all in the march OF events, and
now after centuries of neglect we
again turn to the highways for the
proper solution of our transportation
problems OF today.
Highways Made Rome.
Rome could never have attained
her pristine greatness without the aid
Of her highways. She could not have
aspired to imperial domination OF the
world had it not been for the great
military highways she had construct
cd, which brought remote parts with
in easy reach OF the seat Of empire,
and which made the old saying "AIl
roads lead to Rome" a true one.
Her highways were so well built
that they have weathered the lapse OF
time, and today stand as a monument
to her everlasting credit.
We should build as Rome built a
system of highways that will bear the
burden of war when need be. and
carry the commerce OF the world
without a break.
Our Duty to Rebuild.
Now that our efforts have been
crowned with victory we shall be
called upon to supply the needs Of the
entire world, and We must not fall
down on our duty. We entered the
war because we knew it was our war
as well as Frances, England's or Bel
gium's war, and now that we have
seen il safely to a finish We have
earned in the commerce OF the world.
Rails Will carry just so much and
no more, but the highways. with the
motor transport and an efficient sys-
TEN OF rural motor express, can and
will bear any burden thrust upon IL,
for the highways are the natural
arteries, while the motor truck is the
transportation medium that will bind
s all together as a nation.
