Road Boiiea Should Be Removed From
holiuca and Made tg Pais an Ex
amination Showing Their Efficiency.
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. MiM one Hie put in
w !"Ul w ii) ruin toe hole plan of
lialu:i):e Hut that same farmer will
pa m -iiiey every er hi rnd tax and
let men wtio know nothing nlmut road
budding s.iuaiiiUr ibe money. It Is
