BIO QUESTIONS
Three big ' subjects are now
presented to the American
people for their consideration
and the making of laws to regu
late the same in the interest of
the masses and for the bjnifit of
all. These are 'county Vrp'aJs
and the making thereof, control
of trusts by the general govern
ment so that accnmulated capital
cannot be used tofavor some
and 'drive others out of business
and thus create a favored class;
the building up of an American
Merchant ' Marine so that there
will be enough , ships : sailing
under our flag to carry' bur for
eign trade and relieve us, as a
nation, from the humiliation of
being dependent Jupon foreign
ship owners1 to carry the surplus
product of our farms, factories
and mines to market. " "
The first named of the three
selected subjects, county roads
is perhaps the largest,' measured
by the direct effect that good
roads will have on the home life
of our people. There are' how
something over five and three
quarter million of farms in the
United States upon which pro
ducts valued at ! $3,764,177,706
was grown in 1900.
The money value ot the farms
and farm products in the US is
in the neighborhood "of twenty
five billions of dollars, or a little
more than one quarter of the
aggregate value of ali the proper
ty in the United States. At
least ' three billions of dollars
worth of farm produce Is moved
over the county roads for for a
longer or shorter distance to
reach market or a shipping point
by rail or water and the farm
and family supplies come by the
same route.
In France, a country that has
the best county roads in the
World, in the district of Rou-
baii, the average net load hauled
by two horses is 8,000 pounds,
or four tons, the equal of 1334
busueis of wheat. Any farmer
can fizure how much leas it
would cost him, if in Union
county he had a French road to
haul his produce to market over
and get his fuel and supplies on.
lie can also figure how much
greater would oe thevslueof his
farm if he had as good a road as
the Freuoh farmer has running
on or near his place.
one of the best counties in the
northwest this will result in
someone else thinking likewise
and when an entire community
feels bopefnl the result is that
"vrv body has confidence and
such communities grow.. It is
'not always that natural condi
tions . are necessary to build a
city, the people have a great
deal to do with it. Iu this county
we have the natural resources
iu abuudance 'and with an eu
thusiastio'people we will grow at
a rate that will be surprising.
