Change Needed In Road Laws. A back iiuiuImt tho had country road is a hack number. It Is as much out of place and date n the grain cra dle or Hull thrasher. They had bad roads away back In grandfather's time -ever since people began to travel, to haul stuff in modem narrow tired wagons. They had giod ruudH away bock In Caesar's time la the old world. What progress have we made In road building? Very little. Over three fourths or all the miles of country roads In the midwest are still unim proved, says the Agricultural South west. In most states 1)0 per cent would :e mure nearly correct. Of course .very bit of road gels Its annual tear ng up by the road oillcbs, who druw t salary for calling II road "improve ueut." Why Is It IhusV There's a le.tsoii ivhy country roads are had. Can't lay t to the weather or the rotid material Itlier. As one farmer says. "I have leeti In twenty-three years humlr.Hlsof 'housuuds of dollars of taxpiyers' money expended on the roads in town Did country; but, after all, our voiuli .ire still as bad as ever." As bid as i'ver! What a comment to make upon the appearance of country liomei had (t been said that the farms hti 1 not been improved In twenty-three years! Hut. no; the farms have Improved, the towns have grown, and ImihIiichs places are better that) I hey were twenty three years ago, but the country roads are "as bad as ever" after spending fortunes upon them. The reason la this road building ! uot done In the same businesslike manner as other things are managed. We have seen the creamery conic Into existence. We have seen the (killed buttermaker turning out car I on Is of butter liner than that made by the farmers before the creameries took the Job off their hands. Science and business methods have , made the ''bauge in htidcrmnklug. Hut the roads are "as bad as ever" because It Is a fanner's Job, to be done when it 3 Li Its his convenience. It Is done by men who have never studied tb sci ence of fond building. It Is done In a UK and miss method devoid of business principles. This Is why hundreds of thousands of (he taxpayers' money have failed to make the roads any better. And again we say it Is nol because of bad weather or poor mud build lug material. The biilternuiker takes bad renin nnd makes pretty good butter from it bemuse he knows bow. ( f course be could do better wllh good .ream. Likewise the skilled ro:id nullder ciin make good roads out of just plain country dirt because he knowH how. Of course he could do better with crushed rock and all of that. It Is not a scarcity of iihuil'.v or of material, but a lack of ibe ri.-b sys eni. that Is responsible for bad rads. Dollar for dollar - whtit we want to see Is a dollar's worth of good roads for a dollar spent In road tax. And why not have it? Isn't It about time o jult pouring money into a mud 'loleV Most roads could have been nicely paved with the dollars they 'tave cost since tlrst laid out. Where ttis that money gone? Don't cry 'graft." Of course there has been too uiich polities ah, politics; there's Hie 'lib but there has been no political raft to spenk of In connection villi onntry roads. Tho trouble Is the sys cm Is and has been wrong. Itoad ailldlng Is for the public good, Just as uuill carrying Is. The mall carriers ire under civil service, out of politics ntlrely. They are paid for knowing heir business. They must give a dol ar's worth of service for a dollar In ;ay. Why not handle the road prob em that way? Itctnove the road boss from politics and make him pass an a initial Ion show lug his elllciency. Keep him lust as long us he does his work well. Then you will see good dirt roads vbereer there Is nothing better. I'nougb money will soon Ik' sned In road tax to macadamize e ery inMe of (he main traveled country mads. A fanner would be foolish to go ibead with a large Job of tiling with nit bin iou the whole thing mapped mt ned levels established by some one capable of tblng It Then he would be .'.piallv f....Kh should he not study the cno. o il ol (Me ueedeil to drain the ;uva hiiettded It Is gtsnl business -eiise for him to hire a competent sur vev.r or ditcher.
