it will take 1858 years to improve
the remainder. The estimate may be
correct but judging merely from ap-

The government has made huge ap-
preparations for the purpose of help
ing the people to build roads and now
it is proposed to ask congress for
more. Has all the original appropri-
the roads?
Everybody wants good roads. The
town man is willing to be taxed on his
automobile and everything else to get
them. The farmers are reported to
be eager for roads and willing to be
taxed to pay for them. These condi-
tons have prevailed for a long time
and the federal aid has been avail
able for years. yet little road buildins
is under way in Kansas.
1t may be said. of course. that the
war interfered but what prevented 60

that work could start when the war
stopped?
There must be something wrong
with the machinery. Somebody should
find out what it is and see that it is
corrected A conspicuous example of
this fact is found in Barton county.
from which the remainder of the state
may learn a lesson. but in the mean
time no road is being built in Barton
