GOOD ROAD OPINIONS.

The outstandin feature of the
good roads program to be urged up
on the Legislature next month by
the State Highway Department, is
a plan for highway bond issue.
The constitutional amendment adopt
ed two years ago authorizes such
issues, but of course specific author
ization must be given by the Legis-
lature. What the plan amounts to
is a call on the next generation to
help pay for the. early completion
of the seven-thousand-m system
of connecting good roads contem-
plated by the amendment. In the
first eighteen months of the new
highway regime, great progress has
been made in carrying out the ten
year program for lifting Minnesota
out of the mud. But the blessings
of good roads create the appetite
for more good roads. All over the
State the people arc becoming i'm
patient for early completion of
State highways. From every point
of view it looks like good business
for the State to borrow ten millions
or so, and double the road building
program for the coming year.-Min-
neapolis Journal
Traffic on many of the graveled
highways in Minnesota is getting to
be so heavy that the roads are soon
worn out. A graveled highway is
mighty good highways long as it
lasts. The road between st. Paul
and Jordan, for instance, is fright
today. Eventually, the arterial high
ways of the state will have to be
paved. 1t looks as if paving were
the only way to solve the road
problem successfully Traffic is in
creasing every day. More and more
people are using the highways and
every day the roads are deteriorat-
ing Winnebago City Enterprise.
The good roads program to be
urged on the next Legislature will
mean that the next generation will
help pay for the good highways
they will enjoy. Part of the load
will be lifted from the. present gen.
Grafton and this is as it should be.
If those of the future are to enjoy
the good things to be supplied by
those of today they should be will

Untruths and subterfuge spiteful-
ly started on their mission may sting
and smart and gather certain
amount of corruption for a time,
but when they meet up with the
truth-as they certainly will-the
rebound is swift and the jolt terrific
to the falsifier, as these two most
degrading elements are shot back
from the catapault of truth. Truth
will live and shine in radiant glory
until the end of time, and the her
alder of truth will ever be a 10Y
to mankind, and it proves an effect
full arnlor against every known de-
ceptive shaft hurled by deceptive
foe. Truth is the finest and most
gracious attribute of mankind, the
most beneficent endowment that is
possible for humankind to cultivate.
The above is beautiful senti-
ment but does not always prevail.
Because man has a reputation of
telling the truth is no indication
that his truthfulness is in all cases
commendable Some people with
even the best of intentions do not
know how to curb their tongues.
They blurt out the truth upon all
occasions, and particularly at the
wrong time. There are times when
the cause of justice and humanity
requires the suppression of the
truth until the psychological NOM
ent for divulging it. Any other
course would result in miscarriage
of justice.

ANSWER THESE.

When a new street or road is
necessary in your community, do the
mail order houses pay any part of
its construction? Yet the goods
you buy of them is hauled over
this same thoroughfare for which
they have not spent a penny. Is
that right?
If you are unfortunate in the
matter of death, fire, sickness, ETC.,
it is the> local merchant or banker
you go to for relief, is it not? Yet
by patronizing the mail order house
you make it harder for your local
merchant or banker to grant you
the needed favor. Isn't that true?
How many churches, schools or
hospitals are built or helped in
your community by the mail order
houses?

the wisdom of such favorable action.
Minnesota citizens viewing the
road needs from abroad, statewide
standpoint and seeing the waste and
injustices which can be stopped by
issuing bonds are strong supporters
of the new highway legislative pro-
gram, Charles M. Babcock, state
highway commissioner, asserted in a
recent interview

waste goes on until the road is
hard-surfaced and in the meantime
,, some light traffic roads wait for i'm

improvements over the period they
are used instead of changing the
whole to receipts in single year.
It will also release money for the
improvement of many miles of light
traffic highways which otherwise will

Babcock continued, FUSED funds for
