The, attorney general, stressing the
point that the activities of the week
would create opinion and organize
sentiment favorable to good roads.
also expressed the unique wish that
national highways, once constructed,
MIR. Palmer, in his statement, said
in part:
Good highways are essential to
Americas proper functioning as a
national entity. Socially, politically
and economically, they are vital in
the carrying out of plans laid down
by the fathers for a more perfect
union Of these states.
II hope that I may yet see the
scientifically constructed highways,
and my effort as a citizen will be to
hasten that end
When we get such a system OF
national good roads, as I believe we
will, it should be lighted by electric
ity. We have the power. waiting in
our rivers, whose latent usefulness
for transportation has been too long
neglected. Lighted highways will
have a doubled carrying value, and
will bring power, light and heat to
the farmers front door.
"a complete and comprehensive
system of enduring highways, built
to serve all the people, should be
a national ideal, and I believe is fast
becoming one. 1t is an ideal upon
whose attainment depends the com
pletion of our destiny as a govern

FARMERS HEAVY
BUYERS0F CARS
Rural Communities Take To
Cars And Trucks More
Than Cities

Good roads advocates throughout
the United States re finding their
enthusiasm raised to higher voltage
by a report mad public recently in
dicating that the per capita owner-
shrip of automobiles is making much
greater strides inithe country than in
the city.
Ten ear AGO., they point out, the
city man who owned a pleasure car
in the country. The farmer was not
enthusiastic. &.
Today, they declare. the farmer has
become the bossessor Of a passenger
car and motor truck and is pressing
the legislative powers for good roads
with greater force thar the, city man
ever used. For the city man who
owned a a good roads meant only
greater pleasure. For the farmer
who owns a motor vehicle good roads
meant moi only less social isolation
but\also greater financial profit.
TIL st. Paul report, the figures for
which were compiled by automobile
statistics concern. shows that Ne
braska leads the United States in the
per capita ownership of automobiles.
All Of the nine states at the top Of
the list are west of the Mississippi,
and with few exceptions each of the
nine contemplates hard road build
ing on a large scale in the near flu
ture.
Good roads advocates declare that
the greatest mileage of hard road
construction will not be within a
seven-mile radius of the large cities
during the next ten years, as has
been true in the decade just passed.
Each prosperous small town of the
west, they prophesy, will construct a
network of hard roads leading into
its business district,
