Maintain Our County Roads

The decision of the board of county commits
sioners to instruct the county highway superin-
tendent and the county attorney to petition the
state board of tax commissioners for permission
to make a temporary loan of $4,000, the money
to be used for road maintenance, deserves the
hearty commentator of every citizen.
The Importance of good county roads is be-
coming manifest every day. It is foolish pol
icy that would spend thousands of dollars for the
construction of roads and then would refrain
from borrowing enough money to keep them in
good repair. One or two years of neglect will
make bad road out of good one.
Formerly the county had sufficient money to
make its repairs. By DETECTING the license fee
receipts to the state highway commission not
enough money has been left in the county treas
ury to defray the cost of adequate road repairs.
The county commissioners must eiter make a
temporary loan or let the roads go to ruin. Wise
ly they chose the former course.
Wayne county's road system is one of the
best in Indiana Road experts say so. Tourists

Good Evening
BY ROY K. MOULTON

We occupy a conspicuous place in
belles-letters just now for the reason
that we have steadfastly refused to
write up Maererlinck's soul. That soul
has been buffeted about, lambasted,
interviewed. dissected, diagnosed and
battered until it begins to resemble
the old shiny cane that the boys
used to knock about the back lot.
Although it is doubtless the most
famous soul in the world, we will not
delve into it with out literary stylus.
The soul Of our butcher is something
different. We love to probe that to the
limit, for it means something to us,
whereas the soul of Maurice cuts no
CONCEALED moisture in our young life.
So far as we are concerned, Maeter-
linck's soul can go marching on.
Why take a new census? Just put
down the names of those who have
been mentioned or have mentioned
themselves for the presidency and the
result will be about the same.

express their pleasure and automobile owners
and farmers of the county realize the difference
between our system and that of other counties
just as soon as they cross the boundary line.
Public sentiment in Wayne county is welded
to. the theory of good roads. It stands behind
the commissioners in their policy of conserving
the roads by making a loan to provide the funds.
More progress was made in the good road
movement in 1919 than in the ten previous years,
says an authority. Generous appropriations for
hard-surfaced roads have been made in many
states and extensive projects are under way in
many counties. It means wonderful develop
ment in the productive power of the country.
Americans are fast forgetting their old
apathy toward appropriating money for the build
ing and maintenance of good roads. They are
looking at good roads from national viewpoint
They are beginning to see that money spent on
maintaining roads is not class legislation, bene-
ficial to the farmer only. Good highways are
national asset. They benefit the mechanic as
much as the farmer.
Good roads bring the farmer to the market
Bad roads keep him from the market. If you
want to link the rural districts with the Cities
you must do so by roads. Steam and trolley lines
cannot penetrate every district of the county, but
good roads can.
The building of good roads transforms poor
and depressed country district into flourishing
and happy one, provided of course, that soil con-
ditions are propitous. The best soil in the coun-
try can raise the best crops in the world, but if
the farmer cannot move his crops to the market
over accessible highways. he might just as well
let his land lie idle and grow weeds and thistles
