ROADS
GOOD ROADS FOR MILITARY
Smooth Highways Imperative in Prop
er Movement of Army Equip
ment Along Coasts.

II is generally recognized by gov
eminent officials, especially those of
the army, that one of the most i'm
portant phases of real military pre-
paredness that can possibly be under
taken in this country is that which is
going on under the impetus of the
good roads movement. The federal
aid road act which was signed by
President Wilson last summer will
probably play an important part in
this same interest. An appropriation
of SIT, 100000 has been provided for
in this act for use in constructing
rural poSt-roadS, while the various
states are to cooperate in providing
like fund.
1t is planned thus for an eXpendi-
ture of S150000,000 on such roads
within the next five years. Although
the roads are intended primarily for
the purpose of developing the re-
sources of the national forests. and
in the interest of agriculture and oth-
er peaceful enterprises, some study is
now being made of their practical use
in the interest of military prepared
ness.

Of roads. particularly along the shore,
special attention to military require
ments in the laying out and planning
of a highway may prove of inestimable
value at some time in the future when
that highway becomes a military road
From an economic standpoint it is
estimated that it costs % cents TO haul
q ton a mile on the average country
road under present conditions, while
under proper conditions the cost would
be but IS cents. While these figures
measure a direct cost. there Is an
even greater indirect cost to consider
with bad roads when the farmer must
plan his operations according to the
weather.
1t is matter of special interest
that at the present. time roads on the
Pacific coast and those in some Of
the important Atlantic states which

would be of particular use for effec-
tive military purposes in defending
our coasts are already in very good
condition. There is one trunk road
which runs all the way from southern
California up through Oregon, with
many smaller roads branching from
it. that is said to be in the best Of
condition
Yet it is matter of regret that the
unsurfaced roads of the United States
if laid out in straight line would, il
is estimated. girdle the earth at the
equator more than eighty times, while
the surfaced roads would reach but
one-fourth that distance. However,
there has been greatly increased eZ-
penditures for road building and main
tenance in the last decade and there
is now a more hopeful outlook with
the fve-year construction program
provided under the federal aid act.

Roads an INDISPENSABLE Asset.

The time has come when we must
consider the roads an asset, fndis-
pensabIe to the weIl-being Of the farm
er and his family. This being true, IS
it not every mans duty to do all he
can to keep the roads in good condi-
ton? The individual as well as the
county is responsible.
