H Y t. why do we shut our eyes to the

B! sands of "Bolshevik roads" roads that
Hfl are no more fit to travel over than the
Hfl marshlands or the quicksands. Vet wu
K4 expect our automohr.es and motor trucks
to tratifport heavy loads over such roads
and not have to pay for it in the end
Every1 consumer In your city or town
buying a dozen ckks or a loaf of bread,

of furniture, has to pay for transport in
Koods over such i "nds Transportation
cost is a part of the coat of every arti

part of the cot as making that article or
the material that poes Into it.
Therefore, the more it costs to get th:it
urtlele Into your city, the more will have
to be added on to the purchase price for
you to pay.
Again, have you ever noticed the usual

roads, the farm buildings In a rundown

there seems to be a municipal pride.
Which Is nothing more or less than a re

which the good roads run is likewise im

" UN In realty values. Good roads in
vite travel s well as increase it. It has
leen found that In those municipalities
that hnve been noted for their road Im
provements traffic has increased ony
M tiom 25 to 50 per cent and part of
this Increase Is composed of vehicles that
formerly traversed other routes through

Consider Just what this cost means to
the other communities Formerly these

stores necessities were purchased In the
community In which they were stopping
All of which brought Increased trade to
the merchants of that community.
When these vehicles wero attracted

all this business went with it. consequent

Again consider the community without

goods and supplies over these roads, ne

price of commodities to the consumer
The housewife has to pay because it
costs more to transport the goods ove

The consumer In the city which has
good roads buys the same goods at a
lower price because It did not coat as
much to haul and deliver them as it did
H the vehicles had to use improved road.
Again we come to the worst months
or tho year arc on the threshhold ot

destroying element Is let loose. The ne
cessity for good roads h.ns been preached
the year round. Moving pictures, cata
lops every conceivable form of publicity
lias been used to call attention to tho ad
vantages of good roads over the disad
vantages of poor ones That this pub
licity has done a great deal of good IS
evident from the immense amount of con
struction work that has been going on
and is now gotnc on in all parts of the
country. Communities that formerly wero
Isolated from the outside world and had
to depend on the uncertain schedules ot
short line railroads, are now In direct
communication with distributing points,
but thero are still hundreds and thou
sands of communities that have not ' seen
the handwriting on the wull" and as a
result are up against transportation prDb
lems the solution of which depends on
the progress of municipal growth
In many parts of the country good
roads bond issues were voted at local
elections, excellent indications that tho
people of thoae communities have had
their eyes opened to the danger of their
municipal growth
Buf thoso communities that are still
' agallOWlng In the mires of "Bolshevik
roads" will sooner or later have to pull
themselves out of the mud If they would
keep up tho pace set by their sister com
