Tlie reason la thia- road building 1« not done tn the name businesslike manner aa other things are managed. We have seen the creamery come Into existence. We have aeen the skilled butterninxer turning out carloads of butter finer than Hint made by the farmers before the creameries took the job off their hand*. Bctence and business methods have made the rhango In buttermaking. But the roada are "as bad aa ever” because It la a farmer's job. to lie done when It suits hia convenience. It la done by men who have never studied the sci ence of mail building. It la done In a hit and mlaa method devoid of business principles. This la why hundreds of thousands of the taxpayers’ money hsve failed to make the roada any better. And again we say It Is not because of bad weather or poor road building material. The buttermaker takes bad cream and makes pretty good butter from It because be knows bow. Of course be could do better with good cream. Likewise the skilled road builder csa make good roads out of Just plain country dirt tiecause ha knows how. Of course he could do better with crushed rock and all of that.
