Good Roads
Seen by
In his book about hit trip through
EuroDe J. 8. Hallam has this Inter
esting chapter about good roads In
Europe.
6ood roads everywhere In Europe
remind me ot the importance to our
people ot getting awake also to their
treat needs 1 nthis line, If the poor
ot Europe can enjoy such gool roads,
then what cannot our people with all
their wealth dot
Trance Is said to lead In good
roads, ret I thought the best road I
saw was fifty-five miles through the
Black Forest, of Germany. It was
rolled very smooth, rarely a grade
et more than one foot In forty, and
was used almost exclusively tor
hauling timber. It was no uncom
mon sight to see four horses pulling

Everywhere on the Continent as
well as in Great Brltlan the govern
ment assists, and they are always
put under the very best rules ot road
moklnr. If we had to make tunnels
and terrace up the mountain side to
get a place for a road, we could then
think we had hardships.
How much more profitable would
farming be If we had these roads In
America! Missouri has set a good
example by amending Its laws so that

hundred dollars may be levied for
making roads, which assures that
State good roads in the near future.
The United States Department ot ,
Agriculture. has recently Issued some
literature on that line which I think
explains our needs, it says only seven
per cent ot our two million, mile ot
roads is Improved; elghty-alx billion
pounds of produce are hauled an
nually over these roads to market
The cost of hauling a ton a mile on
average roads la twenty-five cents.
Macadam roads in good condition re
duce the cost ot hauling to eight
cents. Dirt road In bad. condition
will run expense up to as high as -sixty-five
cents. Good road u then
would be a saving ot two hundred
and fifty million dollars annually;

If we would make our roada In eon-,
dltlon that cost would1' be twelve"
cents per ton per mile. '
Of course, all big undertakings
must have a beginning. Let the good
work go on at once to reopen the
old National Turnpike from Wash
ington, D. C, to St. Louis. Let
Leavenworth connect with Fort Riley
and on to the wast by the overland
trail and let people get a sample of
good roads, and In my opinion the
time Is not far off when all crosj
roads will be In good order, too.
