Good Roads Are
Always Cheapest

1t is not unusual to hear men say
that they would like to see good
roads, that they know hard surfaced
roads would be fine, but they cost
too much" Yet they do not cost any
thing. Good roads are not an ex-
pense, but an investment. The most
expensive thing community can
support is poor roads.
If the taxpayers will figure on the
amount they are spending each year
for repairing and maintaining mud
roads they will see that it will, in
many cases, amount to enough to pay
the interest and provide sinking
fund on bonds sufficient to maintain
good roads. This is not always true,
but it is true in many cases.
1t is also true that the increased
values of property where new roads
are made adds to the tax income and
pays for the road. The farmer along
the line of the good road finds his
cost of transportation reduced to such
point that he can we'll afford to pay
the slight added taxes which the road
entails.
The community without good
roads program at the present time is
behind the rest of the country. All
the roads cannot be built in a year or
in five years, but if comprehensive
plan is made, embracing the state,
the county and the community in one
general plan, then that plan can even
tually be carried out.
The expensive road is the cheap
road, too. The most expensive is not
always the best, for it unfortunately
is true that road building has gotten
into the hands Of grafters in some
parts of the country, but it must be
admitted that well built concrete
road is about the best investment any
community can make.
Concrete is not the only good road.
There may be others just as good
That is matter for experts to de-
eide after investigating the conditions
in every community. But the ancient
roads of cement have stood for CEN
turtles and look good for still more
centuries.
The vital thing is to build roads
that will be good when the bonds be-
come due. 1t should never be said of
this generation as has been said of
the last one, Eyes, we know about
the bonds, but where are the roads p
Let the roads be built for perma-
hence. The immediate cost is second
airy, because that will take care of
itself. And above all, let roads be
built. The best rivalry possible be-
tween communities would be rivalry
as to the quality of the roads.

THIRTY-THREE MILES

Mature has given us 1000 miles
Of inland waterway capable of sail
ing ocean vessels from the Great
Lakes to the sea, if we will correct
thirty-three miles of it. Excepting
this stretch, every part Of the pro-
posed st. Lawrence Waterway is OPP
en- to 80 per cent of the ocean going
vessels. Gov. Allen Of Kansas.
Deep sea transport advantages
for the great middle-west are thus
epitomized by a Kansan. He adds
that wheat in Kansas and Nebraska
is farther from the New York mark
Ct than wheat on an Argentine farm;
that you can move Argentine wheat
by its short rail haul to port ship it
to New York, carry it inland to a
mill, and ship it back to New York
as flour, before the transportation
charge equals the freight on wheat
from the West to the Atlantic sea-
board"
If states as far from the Great
Lakes as Kansas, thus find definite
and vigorous enthusiasm in the st.
Lawrence Seaway project, how much
more should be the uncompromising
interest in Michigan-Surrounded on
three sides by waters which will open
to the Atlantic No Commonwealth
has more to gain from this vast and
wholly practical enterprise, than our
own. Its support and encouragement
should top the calendar of our pub
lie interest.
There are numerous selfish in
terests to be flung aside. Some of
them are in Canada, where existing
commercial interests in the larger
cities bordering the st. Lawrence do
not relish competition with vast
reservoir of cheap water power.
Some of them are in our own United
States-particularly in New York
State, which fears inroads upon her
rich monopoly Of port and harbor adj
vantages if the Middle-West gains
free access to the sea. But it is i'm
possible that greed should indefinite
~ suspend great economic tri-
umph-if the Middle-West is suf-
ficiently alert in it's campaign.
One of the greatest of all credits
upon the record of United States
Senator Charles f. Townsend, whom
Grand Rapids had the honor of en-
PERTAINING last week is his prominent
and persistent part in the inception
| Of this stupendous enterprise. He
is entitled to bipartisan praise for
thus serving the welfare Of Michigan
and her neighboring Commonweal-
tbs. And we have enough confidence
in the unanswerable merit of the
Seaway plans, and the grasp Senator
Townsend has obtained upon the en-
tire undertaking, to believe that
within another term in the Upper
House Of Congress, he will see this
second Panama Canal" we'll under
