Give Us Good Roads

In the clash Of opinion as to the
present road law 10 Missouri and
how it ought to be amended and
improved there is no danger TO Mis-.
souri, unless those who favor good
roads should let the reactionaries
break in and undo the work that
has already been done. The pres.
ent Missouri law is better than the
old law and so good that Gov. Gard
ner thinks it the best in the country.
Let the Missouri Legislature keep
all the good there is in it and make
the law better if a better way can
be found and agreed upon.
After the question of better
schools this question of better roads
is perhaps the most important that
t he State has to consider. Missouri
has thousands of miles of road so
bad that any time there comes a
freeze and thaw they become inn
passable. These roads are not all
in the backwoods. They run through
rich farming communities into coun-
ty seats and their unfitness as high
ways costs Missouri millions in
wasted time and lost opportunities
to get to market.
They keep children out of school
and prevent those pleasant social
gatherings which do so much to
make life worth living.
They isolate the farmers from
their friends and neighbors and
&ake life on many farms when bad
weather sets in about as inspiring
as life on desert island.
They cause discomfort and are
factor in the influences which drive
young men off the farms and into
the city.
They have had a large part in
the decay of country churches all
over the State
They set narrow limits upon au-
tomobile travel, and strangers who
attempt the poorer roads in Mis-.
souri, in motor cars leave the State
to give it bad name. |
The result is that rural Missouri
is poorer in money. poorer in man.
hood and poorer in every kind of
desirable opportunity than it would
be if the roads were good.
That being the fact, it behooves
the Legislature to attack the ques-
ton of roads in a spirit of liberality
and constructiveness There should
be no ear for the voice of the man
who is content to be stuck in the
mud-Republic.
