erally, yet Improved public road con-i.-.n
tiou. the one pbas of our Ameri
can life upon which depend more
than any other the certain prosperity
ami social comfort of a larjce majority
of our citizens, bas been neglected to
a degree that is almost beyond the
.power of conception, says Dr. J. H,
i'ract. state geologist of North Caro
lina.
The old method of obtaining revenue
tor the construction of roads was by
levying a labor tax, which required
All ablebodied male residents of
tate between certain ages to work on
the public highways within their re
pectlve townships for a certain nutu-
iier of days per annum, but In lieu of
this tabor they could pay a certain
amount for each day tbut they were
required to work. While thousands
of miles of public roads have been
built by this means, there are but
tew miles of graded or Improved roads
constructed, and It Is practically im
possible to construct a system of good
roads In this way. If it does not give
jgood improved roads bow can they be
obtained?
Public roads are public necessities,
and the benefits to be derived from
their construction In the various coun
ties composing the suite are not only
tat great value to each county, but also
to the state. Public roads are ready to
aerve all classes, they are common
property of all the people, and all the
people have the right and privilege
M use them. Therefore why should
not all the people bear some of the
expense?
To carry out this work to the quickest-
and to the best advantage the
county should issue bonds in order to
secure the necessary funds.
It is a fair and equitable arrangement
that future generations should pay for
a portion of the improvements of our
public roads, as they derive as great a
benefit as the present generation. Too
many have an idea that to bond their
county will mean a very large increase
in their taxes without their deriving
any material benefits from their ex
penditures, not realizing that the In
crease in the valne of property and the
decrease In the cost of the maintenance
of the roads and the wear and tear
on horses, wagons and harness is so
much money saved.
The issuing of bonds makes avail
able funds in sufficient quantity to
render possible the accomplishment of
definite and desirable results.
They give almost immediately the
benefit of good roads, while the pay
Bient for them Is deferred for many
5ars until the county bas progressed
fn material wealth to enable it to pay
the bonds without unnecessary incon
venience. They obviate the necessity for a high
road tax while accomplishing the re
sults for which such a tax would be
levied.
Let us consider briefly what a $100,
O00 bond issue would cost a county:
In the first place. I believe the bonds
could be sold as bearing per cent In
terest. Thli will mean that the Interest
on the issue of J100.009 will be 14.500 per
flanum. It will also be necessary to put
toy a sinking fund to take care of these
fconds on maturity. Such a sum as Is nec
essary can be put by each year at 6 per
ent Interest and at the end of forty years
will cover the bond issua The amount
that It will be necessary to put aside each
year for this purpose will be J!)33. This
makes a total of t5.C!3 that a county will
have to raise each yar to take care of
thia bond issue. This amount will not be
s much as it would he necessary to raise
by a high tax, 35 cents to 50 cents, which
some counties have levied in providing
the money for road construction. Sup
pose the assessed property valuation is
S8.000.000. a tax of only 'JO cents on the
108 would yield Hfi.fMJ annually, which
trould be sufficient to prty the Interest on
the bonds, create a sinking fund and
leave enough money. J10.5Xj. for the main
tenance of the improved road and to keep
in repair the roads in the county that are
iot being permanently Improved.
This twenty cent tax Is a small tax
for good ro:ids work cud if this tax
as levied without bond Issue It would
usually all he spent In maintenance
of the ronds without permanently 1m
proving nny of them
If a county or a township decides to
y and raise the necessary revenue
ot good roads construction by a direct
fax co the $100 worth of property it
would reuulre an exceedingly high tax
to accomplish the desired result, unlet!:
titere was situated In the county n
Inrge city whose accumulated wealth
-ould te taxed for pood road work in
the county. Counties situated in thi
way could probably raise a revenue

MANY COUNTIES "STRIVING
TO ELIMINATE RUTS
By Building Concrete Macadam Roads.
A Success In Michigan,
Concrete macadam roads are being
built In many parts of the country lu
an attempt to secure roadways that
will uol loosen up under autou)olil
travel nor rut uuder heavy truck lux.
Waytie county. Mich., has built thee
roads for the asl two sensou and
now baa nearly eiitht miles of two
course concrete macadam roadways.
In these roads the bottom layer la a

limestone concrete of a one, two and
a half and five mix, using first clasa
cement, sand and crushed limestone
The top layer is a one, two and three
mix of the same materials, except
that crushed cobbles are substituted
for limestone. The concrete Is six
and one-half Inches compacted depth
and from fifteen to nineteen feet in
width.
EVERYBODY DRAG ROADS I
Plan Provides That All Tax Payers
Mutt Keep Highways Clean.
A plan la on foot In some parts of
the country to have the whole commu
nity see to It that the roads are kept
in good condition.
The proposed plan provides that the
road authorities shall divide the roads
into short sections, according to the
number of poll tax payers, and assign
to each man the section nearest and
most convenient to him, who would
assume the responsibility of keeping
the same In good condition by work
ing his poll tnx on it, not all at once.
but at intervals, as needed. It is esti
mated that in no case would these
sections comprise more than a half
mile of road.
As soon as the frost la out In the
spring and while the road Is yet some
what soft and plastic these men
would go on the road each of bis own
section, dragging it thoroughly, nslug
a homemade spilt log drag, scraping
down the ridges, filling the ruts and
holes and crowning and smoothing the
surface so that it would shed water.
Not more than two hours would be
required to do this, and it would be
done at a time when It would least
Interfere with farm work. Later In
the season, whenever there was a tend
ency to develop ruts or boles, each
would again apply the same treat
ment just following a ruin.
A very important point may here be
noted, viz that by this plan the roads
in any district, no matter how large,
even in an entire county, could all be
dragged and smoothed nnd put In good
condition within a few hours.
I- jr. .. .t. .i .. ,. ,, .a, j, A. .
Today the need for better
wason roads is greater than at ,
any previous time in history,
The belief has been proved falla- T
ciout that as railroad mileage
increased the need for good
country roads would diminish. J
The fact has been established
that the greater the railroad
mileage the greater the move
ment of freight on the common
roads that act as feeders to the J
railroads. It has been shown
that over bad roads in the J
Unifed States a team on the J
worst hauling season is able to
transport on an average only
about 800 or 9C0 pounds, while
in France every good draft horse
is expected to be able to draw
3,300 pounds a distance of eight-
een miles any day in the year.
V V ? W
UP TO THE WOMEN TOO.
Improvement of Country Roads Should
Be of Interest to Mothers.
That the movement for the improve
ment of roads now being pushed by
the government throughout the conn
try affects the women as vitally as It
affects the men was the assertion of
Logan Waller I'age. director of the
L'uitcd States office of public roads, in
the course of his address to the Moth
fi-h' Congress held In Washington re
cently. The women. Director Page pointed
out. arc the mothers of the nation, and
It Is to their Interest to see that coun
try roads are improved for the benefit
of their own health and happiness
and the health and happiness of their
children.

FOR THE GOOD ROADS CAUSE
Present Day Difficulties ef Traveler
Shown In Pictures.
One of the moat interesting methods
for advancing the cause of good roada
throughout the south is being under
taken by the Southern Itallway com
pany, working In conjunction with the
United States o'Hce of public roads.
The company bas started a special
"road improvement train." provided
with lantern slides aud stereoptlcon
and sereea This train Is touring the
south, stopping at all the large cities
and most of the small ones.
The stereoptlcon equipment Is for
the purpose of showing all the ad
vantages of good roads and the dis
advantages of bad ones. Pictures
showing doctors caught In the ruts of
bad roads while on their way to pa
tients, undertakers' wagons delayed
on the way to the cemeteries, auto
mobilisU thrown on the road by a
bowlder in a bad road and two loads
of cotton, one from a bad road terri
tory and the other from a good road
territory, the difference in weight
showing the profits and losses that
come from good and bad roads, are
being shown.
It Is bhped by the backers of the
present movement that the road im
provement train will stimulate the In
terest of the south, bring about the
enactment of uniform laws nnd uni
form methods in the handling of the
improvement and maintenance of
roads and give the whole south an
opportunity to realize the full economic
value of a complete system of im
proved highways.
