up the consideration: AT what ex-

the expense of rebuilding constantly
great public roads? Shall they be en-
couraged at the expense of increasing

mission? Shall they be encouraged
at the expense of also of crippling
railroads into which not only railroad
stockholders. but the people of the
state themselves have put so much OF
their wealth?
1.-The railroads. realizing from the
start that carrying of passengers and
freight meant deterioration of the road
over which they were carried, made
maintenance of this road part of their
business, part of the investment on
which they hoped to make a profit.
And in the case of the railroad the
user of railroad service alone pays
the cost of track maintenance. But in
the case of the truck freighter and the !

MAKE VOTE FOR ROAD BONDS
UNANIMOUS.

If there is any opposition to the
proposed bond issue of 100000 for
bringing the main highway across the
county up to state standard and paw
ing that section between Nllnan and
Kellogg, it is not yet apparent The
fact is that the county commissioners,
before issuing the formal call for the
bond election. laid their cards on the
table, so to speak, giving all the facts
regarding the cost of road improve
ments under the present system, the
cost of the improvements proposed,
and how these could be carried out
without increasing taxes and at the
same time provide more funds for
maintenance OF other county roads,
these facts being so convincing that
opposition, if there was any, was eff
fectually disarmed. Certainly every
citizen wants the best possible roads
for the least possible cost, and since
it was conclusively shown that the
best can be obtained for the same
price we are paying for inferior roads,
there appears to be no chance for an
argument on the subject
But just as many political battles
have been lost through over-confd- /
ence, so there is a possibility that the
road bond issue may be lost in the
same way To avoid this possibility
every supporter of the good roads
plan should work continuously and up
to the day of election in favor of the
and to poll the largest
possible vote. Remember that one
vote against the bond issue is equal to
two in favor of it. Should a deter
mined opposition develop in the clos
ing days of the campaign, it might be
difficult to overcome the heavy odds.
So the only absolutely safe plan is to
make the campaign for the bonds with
all the thoroughness and determine
lion as if there was active opposition.
Friends of the bond issue have all the
acts and figures on their side and it
$ only necessary to use them in or
Ter to carry the bonds by practical

1.-THE coEUR D'ALENE HIGHWAY
SOUNDS GOOD.

The suggestion coming from the
associated chambers of commerce of
the Spokane valley, representing the
towns along what is commonly known
as the Trent road. that the section of
the Yellowstone trail between Mis-
soula and Spokane be officially desig-
mated as "The Occur d'Alene High
way" is "a good one and we see no
reason why it should not receive the
cordial support of Mssoula and Spo-
kane as well as of all the towns along
the line Certainly the proposition
should be popular in Shoshone and
kootenai counties, in which the great
transcontinental highway can hardly
be mentioned except in connection
with the name Occur d'Alene." In
its westward course the Yellowstone
trail is in the Occur d'Alene mining
district the entire distance across
Shoshone county. AT Kingston it
strikes the Occur d'Alene river and
crosses that stream in Kootenai coun-
ty near Cataldo. It's course through

Mr.. Brown was travelling along in

one gladstone summer day and was

bowling for ruddy gore, and riding
hell-bent for a taste of it. Mr.. Brown
rode his horse across the river at
convenient ford, leading his pacR
horse. On the side where he came out
was a long spit of sandbar reaching
into the river, and Mr. Brown rode up
the sandbar to the bank, tied his
horses and walked back to the open.

habit of drawing the fire from the

But Mr.. Brown was different kind

TRUCKS AND JlTNEYS AND THE
PUBLIC ROADS.

The people of Shoshone county will
soon vote on proposition to invest
$780, 900 in improving and paving the
main highway across the county, a
distance of about 80 miles. and it is
altogether probable that the PROPOSE
ton will receive favorable action by a
large majority, This will mean that
the federal government will spend a
much larger sum, and when the high
way is completed the state of Idaho
will assume the expense of mainte-
nance. While the cost of construction
and maintenance are thus apportion-
ed to the county, federal government
and state, as a matter of fact all the
funds are derived from the people
through some form of taxation. With
this great expenditure on the part of
the public, and this is only one of
many similar projects in Idaho and
all other states. the question is rapid
ly being forced to the front as to what
extent should the highways be used
for private profit and what compensa-
ton should be required from those
who so use them to adequately COM
pensate the state for the privilege and
for the resulting damages? In this
connection the following editorial from
the Boise Statesman is timely:
"All along the great highways OF /
southern Idaho one meets these days /

ling stages. The former are nothing /

to these precautions for the protection

Road Facts Briefly Stated

I in few years many roads, which now
carry only local traffic originating
largely within five or ten miles of the
road, will be carrying a large percent
age of through traffic, much of it
coming from outside the state. This
is the opinion of the officials of the
bureau of public roads Of the federal
government based upon the report of
two traffic censuses taken in coOpera-
ton with the state highway depart
ments of the various states. This is
already true of our main highway
across ShoshOne county, which is a
part of the Yellowstone trail, ma
tional highway from coast to coast.
officials point out that traffic of this
being improved. must be designed to
take care of great deal more than
the local traffic or that which is ex-
pected to originate locally with the
coming of better roads.
With the increase in automobiles
and extension of national highways
tourist travel has increased rapidly,
expanding more money at home rath-
er than abroad and promoting nation
al unity and intelligent patriotism.
Money invested in permanent roads
pays as high dividends as money in
vested in any other public enterprise.
AS an example of the tremendous
development of automobile traffic. in
1905 only 10 years ago, the state of
Maryland upon the advice of the late
Governor Brothers. embarked upon a
program of extensive highway devel-
opment The governor recommended
the creation of a motor vehicle de-
partment, the licensing of automo-
biles and then added this very illum-
mating remark: I'm time it is possible /
that the revenue from this source will !
reach 100000 per year" In 1920, just
II years later it amounted to more |
than S2,5OOOOO. when the most en-
lightened imagination could only con-
ceive that it time it might reach |
100000 proportions.
