NORTHCAROLNA
GETS new PEOPLE
WITH PAVEMENTS
NeighbOring States Build
Few Roads And POpula-
tiOn Barely Hold Own.
(By E. E. DuffyI Eth

Good roads are in sucn demand
that people will actually change
their places of living to get them
This is indicated in the new census
for North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia
and South Carolina.
North Carolina, the only one of
the four to do any extensive road
building in the last decade, increased
her population by "A per cent during
the ten years. Georgia, Virginia AMI
South Carolina, with an average
gain in population of about II per
cent from 1910 to 1920, gained but an
average of three per cent since 1920.
Georgia is to lose two representa-
tives in Congress. North Carolina,
on the other hand, is to have y rep
resentatives instead of ten.
Economic conditions in North
Carolina are generally believed to
be much better than in the other
three states named. The paving of
most of North Carolina's state high
way system las given tie Tar Heels
tine equivalent of good, healthy
swig from the Fountain of Youth.
Farmers have been enabled to di-
versify crops because pavements
have given them quick marketing Of.
perishable produce. Consolidated
schools, with children quickly haul
ed long distance by bus, have
changed the illiteracy records to a
remarkable degree.
North Cardinals unique advance
is attributed to her early building
of concrete pavements through bond
issue financing. Some $150,000,000
of bond money has been expended
in reducing the operating cost of al
most all North Carolina motoring by
one to three cents a mile. The
pavements that Georgia and other
states are still waiting for have been
in actual service in North Carolina
for some time.
Georgia, for example, has so far
refused the bond issue plan, OppOn-
ents defeating it with the cry that
the taxation would be oppressive and
so on far into the night. States
other than Georgia have failed to see
that road building is a continuing
process, that future generations
should help pay for the long lasting
that can be built today.
1t is noteworthy that only those
states that have quite fully utilized
the bond issue plan have made any
real progress in building roads. |
More important is the fact that the
taxation in these bond issue states
has not been oppressive in any way,
but on the contrary this taxation has
been scarcely noticeable, with the
resultant concrete tpavements saving I
the motorist from two to four or five I
times his taxes for road purposes.
South Carolina now has money
from a $65,OOO,OOO bond issue avail
able; soon there will be another
happy highway tale to tell.
