John 17:3. Abe Martin Coolidgo has been selected to write the history of this country in 500 words to be carved on a boulder in the Black Hills. That's rather a severe penalty for being a man of few words. Just when you are inclined to think the experiment in Russia may have a little merit you rend sonte ridiculous thing like the manifesto to the Pope, and then get thoroughly .disgusted all over again with anything connected with the Soviet. ; INCREASING DEMAND FOR, BETTER ROADS 1 ' Roads will never cease to be a prevailing problem in county : and state. A few years ago the issue was "good roads" and now it has become a matter of good roads and better roads construction of good roads and improvement of the roads - that have previously been built. .Traffic conditions have Bhown that one is as important as the other and any com prehensive road plan must take proper nuiintaincnce into ' consideration constantly. Market road construction has shown marked progress during the last five years in Union county. The Ml. Glenn road, the Lower Cove road, the extension of Hunter Lane, new, construction in the Elgin, Union and North Powder districts all these, considered in the aggregate, emphasize the advance that has been made. Other roads, equally needed, are on the construction calendar for this year and for several yearsMii the future. In spite of the improvement in the appearance of the county road map, however, it is a question if road progress is really keeping up with the demand. Eventually with the funds available, the county will have a close network of all weather roads. Isn't it possible that the same roads, con structed more rapidly, would more than pay for the extra interest charges in savings to the car owner and the owner of benefitted property? Recognized engineers have records to prove-that they would. The cost per mile in wear and tear, in fuel and oil consumption, in tires for an automobile operating over dirt and mud roads when compared with the cost of operating the same automobile over good gravel roads is rather gener ally recognized now as being more than sufficient to pay for the carrying charges of the improved highway. Like an efficient piece of farm machinery in competition with old hand methods, we pay for good roads whether we have them or not. -' I . ' The only objection to a comprehensive road program that would adequately serve every populated area in Union county is the question of money. Opponents would like the better roads just as well as the most ardent road enthusiast, but they think it better for the car owner to bear the burden in increased travel costs per mile than for the county to remove that burden. Their conservatism is usually laudable, but in this instance one is inclined to wonder if such a policy is not short sighted. Sometime in the near future residents of the county not favorably located on good roads are going to rise up in their! wrath and demand equality with those who reside on the j state and county highways. They arc going to point out j their constribution to the cost and maintenance of existing roads and ask that others contribute in like manner to now roads. They have done this in the past but have been handi capped by a road measure that was ton ambitious at the time and voters refused to give it approval. I!ut it will come up again. It will come up with increasing regularity until the road problem is more nearly solved. Individual road projects, in The Observer's opinion, would receive more favorable attention than a blanket project. Hut they are certain to be demanded. And some day they will be approved. In the meanwhile we can continue to be conservative and try to make what money is available satisfy a need ten times as great with the lack of mole and better roads costing every citizen in the county a big sum every year.
