r When you ask any of the returned
soldiers what they think of the
United States as compared to France
they usually say there is no room
for comparison except that France
has so far out-distanced this country
in road building that we ars not
in the race
1t seems strange that country
which uses such primative methods
along SO many lines would have
such beautiful roads,. It is said that
dirt roads there are very rare.
The French are very conservative
people. They still wear wooden
shoes; pillow with oxen and use
wooden plows; cut their grain with
cradle and thresh 1T with fail or
treadmilI. And yet. in a country
where they are so very far behind
the times in almost everything,
they make our roads look like the
"Slow Train Through Arkansas.
The farmers of France waste
nothing. They could keep family
on what is wasted on some of the
large farms in this country. They
are economical in the extreme, so
why do they spend money to keep
up such wonderful roads? They
evidently consider good roads more
economical than poor roads. If they
are right in thinking so then we
Potlatchers are the most extrava-
giant people on earth. We have been
lavishly paying mud taxes" for
years because we can't see far
enough ahead to realize how much
more economical good roads really
are.

The mayor of Seattle says the ship
yards there are now running full
time and that the ships the Govern
ment are turning out will be sold
for about sixty cents on the dollar.
The Government is carrying on this
big building program to avoid a
labor panic. If the road building
program that is being formulated
all over the country, is once under
way, the labor supply will all be
used up and good wages will be
possible for everyone. One of the
complaints often heard against
building roads now is that it will
cost too much during these times OF
high prices and that we should wait
until prices decline. The farmers
are not demanding lower prices for
wheat, corn, hogs, milk or butter.
II the wage Garner lives and buys
these farm products at the high
price he must in turn get a good
wage. The, way to hold up prices
on the farm products is to keep all
labor employed at good wages. The
building of roads in every county
will be the means of keeping all
labor busy.

 Now there you have it. And King described it and all the "Riddicks" in Memphis and St. Francis county can't change the fact"
 Now in this connection the Argus, Pm reminded of the wonderful clever manner III which those Bankhead High way artists have of raising l funds and enthusiasm. The peo- pie along each of the compet- ing routes were worked into a frenzy regularly each year by l the Bankhead Highway "Or- ganiZer" who always required a dollar down per member, yearly subscription dues. Every town along the entire route was worked to a flare you well'' and I know of one little city not thousand miles away that raised nearly $4O0 in just one year for member ships" in order thereby to be able to name the official route"
 It how appears that each and every town along both of the contending routes are now claiming that at the Mineral Wells meeting their route was officially named.
 The Argus printed the state ment it did because Mayor Greenlee who was chairman Oi the delegation from here, gave the information that way and Pm banking on it being just that way.
 I hope tho, to settle all dis putes, that an official state ment by the Bankhead Highway officials will be published.
