GOOD STATE ROADS
A Matter to be Considered by
the Coming Legislature
At Ifce rereut meeting ,.1 the state
board cf trade the question of good
rcua* received much attention. Af
ter the committee had submitted Its
r- port it was d (trussed at great
■length by the delegate* and all
agreed that the coming session of
the legislature should take some ac
lion towards improving the state's
b ghwar*. But it was pointed, out
that various prev* ous efforts had
met w ith d snial failures and fear
was entertained that history might
repeat itself. However, it was urg
ed that the board make another ef
fort.
One of the strongest arguments
ever made in behalf of the move
ment was made by llou. »ames II.
I'attcrson, of South Carolina, In the
house of representatives before ad
journment last »pr ng, who pleaded
wit-h ougrvss for a system of good
roads throughout tho couutry. In
cone: ia4on ho sa d:
A bad road, Mr. Speaker, Is a per
petual tax, a burden which cannot
bo lifted except by the permanent
improvement of the highway*. One
of the officials of tho Canadian Pa
ciflo Railway, In a paper entitled,
Hoad Making and Ma nteuance/’
had this to say about the roads In
the United States and Canada.
"T ho country roads seem to bo
principally used by farmers, to
whom time seems to be no object,
and who do not apparently realize
that gt>Ou iiia.is can bo profitable,
since they do not actually place do!
i im 111 iiieir minus, auu wno
seem to think that the only way to
ncrease their income is to ell more
produce, no matter how much It
may cost to draw it to market, and
accordingly they spend a great part
of their lives slowly p'odding over
bad roads without a thought of try
lug to improve them."
Tiio principal advantagea of good
roads are that larger loads can be
carried with greater speed, that far
mers can market their produce at
whatever time tiiey can g-1 the best
prices, without being dependent on
the weather, and that they can also
use the roads in wet weather during
the winter and spn ng, when they
can not plow, thus utiliz ng their
horses When they would otherwise
be Idle. It is said on what appear;
to bi | >od authority that it coats
as muon to haul a* bushel of wheal
over five miles of country road ,n
IHiuo s from farm to ra lroad aa it
does to carry It by rail from there
1,100 miles to the elevator In Buf
falo. ir tins is a fact—and there is
no reason to doubt ,t—then think
of the •enormous capital tho farm*
ers of the Un ted States waste each
year because tiiey have so few good
roads. It is sa.e to say that bad
country roads cost thfj American
farmer not i ss than one-half of the
profit he would get from his crops
if he had roads in fact instead of
name only.
Within the last few congresses a
number of bi Is have been intro
duced look ng .o the beginning ol
the work of budding good roads
throughout the country. The be
ginning, 1 :ay, fur through the pro
visions of the Brownlow bill aud I
of ihe one introduced by the late la- ;
aiemed senator f no in my st a*o
would be a great step forward, yet j
$24.000.000—that is $8,000,000 a
year for three years—distributed j
over the w bote country wuiuld be a !
mere drop in the bucket. When 1 I
said a wa le ago that. legis'allou on
thfs subject ought to proceed along
the lines laid down in these bills l
had reference to their general V'nor
but 1 do not think the sum they pro
vide meets the exigencies of the • t
uatlon. There are two ways to fin
ance the building of roads through
out the country. One s a bond is
sue, say to the amouut of $200,000.
000, the proceeds to he devoted to
tho construction of public roads;
the other Is an annual appropr.atlon
from the current revenues of the
government of $*20,000.00 for ten
consecutive years. I would hare it
understood, of course. that each
state should only receive its propor
tionate sTittrc of this annual d s
bursoiuent upon conditions that
each share would be supplemented
by an appropriat on of equal
amount from the state treasury,
and an additional proportionate ap
propriation from county funds. 1
have no fear, Mr. Speaker, that an*
| state or county in any state would
not gladly ava 1 itself of this offer
Qf friendly assistance from the na
tional treasury or that It would fall
to moot the liberal ty of the nation
al government with like liberality
| on Is own part.
Like the appropriations for the
postal service, ‘.he direct benefits of
which come stra ght home to every
citizen the inestimable benefits
ar s ng from the building of good
roads will he felt by everyone,
whether resident of the city or dwel
ler On farm. No vo'co has ever
been raised In protest against the
sums we spend for our mail service,
evon thou gn they reach $160,000,
000 or more, as they do this year,
Nobody car's whether the postal
service is self supporting or not, hut
everybody ctamors that it be made
as periect and as far reaching as
possible, no matter what the ex
pense. Rural del very started on a
small scale; it has grown to big
proportions; it must continue to in
crease with the growth of the coun
try. The fiTuler ,s the chief benefi
ciary of thfs part of the postal ser
vice, and he w 11 bo the chief ben
eficiary of the model highway.
History will have a luminous page
for the congress that appropriated
the first mill ons for the Panama
Canal. No Pss, Mr. Speaker, will
it ee'ebrate the congress to whose
credit can he recorded the Inaugu
ration of a well thought out an*
generously endowed system of good
roads construction throughout the
length and brea itn of this country.
For the beginning of this big under
tak ng, fraught with Incalculable
fibnefits to the generat ons of the
TtTTure, I pray the day may soom
dawn, and trust I may live long
enough to ge * th • consummation of
a goodly part of the wo:.’..
