The w idth of the tires there runs from three, to ten inches, most four-wlieelixi vehi-t cles having a six-inch rim, and a rear axle several inches longer than th e front axle. In Germany, w here thei main roads are models of smoothness, every wagon for heavy loads must have a t least a four-inch tire. Even the light vehicles are required to use tires not less than two and one-half inches wide. The law s o f A ustria require wagons, built to carry loads of more than two and one-quarter tons, to have tires not, less than four and one-half inches wide, and if the wagons a re intended for loads of more than three and one-half ■ tons the tires m ust be six aud one- q u a rte r inches wide.

The question of good roads is press ing Itself more and more on the a tte n tion of the public. During the j»ast few weeks there have been no less titan three conventions held to consider this m atter—a State «^invention a t Rich mond, Va., a State convention a t Co lumbia. S. C.. and the National Road Congress whicb assem bled in A tlanta. The subject of good roads appeals to the whole public. At the north and w herever there is a large population the question Is a very simple one—merely a m a tte r of organization aud en th u si asm. B ut w here the population is sparse the question is surrounded by immense and alm ost Insurm ountable difficulties unless public opinion can be prevailed i n to perceive—and th at clearly—th a t the interests of the S tate a re involve»l. It is an easy m a tte r for some counties to m ake perm anent improvements, but in counties where the population Is sparse and w here there is no consider able aggregation of capital, the question of good roams takes the shape of a very serious and difficult problem. So th at wlille some com m unities have the m eans to carry ou perm anent road im provem ents from y ear to year, other communities, ltvss fortu n ate in th a t re spect, will be compelled to let m atters run on pretty much as they have been running, unless, indeed, public sen ti ment so crystallizes as to compel leg islation on the subject. J u s t when and how this is to be brought about it would be difficult to say. The public highw ays have been neglected for so m any years—or worse than neglected under our deplorably bad system —th a t bad roads have come to be regarded as a necessary evil. The cost th a t they entail on the public and the losses th a t are sustained by both producers and buyers, are beyond com putation. As thin cost and these kisses fall on the public a t large, lrrespe<?tlve of county boundaries, trades or profes sion, the question would seem to invite general legislation for the benefit of the whole State. If the improvements th a t are neces sary were to be m ade a t once the q u es tion would be settled iu tiie negative. It would be out of the pow er of the peo ple to engage in the affair. But it is not necessary. In this respect the people, if they move In the m atter a t all, will have to follow the example of other countries and other communities. They will have to go slow, in order not only to keep down the average of taxation, but to give a solid and a perm anent ch aracter to the work th a t is done. Slow end sure is not a bad motto in any enterprise or In any line of busi ness, and it is especially applicable to the m atter of road improvement. A mile of perm anent roadw ay built every year would, in the course of time, give a splendid system of public roads, and would nttarly double the value of the taxable property of the State, to say nothing of the money th at would be saved to the producers as well as to the consumers. This question, like all other questions of public importance, has its ram ifica tions, and in one way and another, it affects the interests of every man, wom an and child in the State. In spite of this—or, perhaps, by reason of i t —It is a very difficult problem to solve. If it is ever solved the solution m ust neces sarily be the result of State legislation; and this is a very delicate m atter. T here is one reform, however, in regard to which public sentim ent is rapidly crystallizing, and as this has to do with the road question it may be briefly re ferred to here. It is the belief on -.he p a rt of the people of all classes th a t it would be better for the State convicts to be set to work improving the roads than to hire them out to compete with free labor. This reform is now ready to seize upon the L egislature and make itself heard. C h e a p e s t P » .s ta g e .
