Why need the crop be moved with such haute nnd at such great Inconvenience to tho railways nnd so completely drn In tho cities of money n to rauxe a panic nnd the Iohm of many million? Tho farmer knew the winter nnd bad road Reason was approaching and that J? ho didn't get his crops off before tho roads broko tip bo didn't know bow long the embargo of bad roads would prevent him from doing o. Auotber factor was the Insufficient amount of eovernment bonds to serve as tho basis of national bank circula tion. As no bonds were available the banks could not Increase their circula tion, ns thy would hnvo been glad to do and which would have Imrnedl ntely relieved tho financial atrnlu. The country needs good roads, nnd It needs a larger debt (strange lis that may Bound). Out of this dilemma the way Is cany. If tho federal government was to Ihkuo n needed $100,000,000 of 2 per cent thirty to fifty yenr bonds to old In load building It would carry tho na tloual debt up from $11.11 to $15..rh nnd tho Interest charge from J9 to 20 cents per capita. Tho debt per capita then would be nlulont exactly where It was ten yei.rs ngo. It would require fS.OOO.OOO a year to pay the Intercut on the bonds, but ev ery dollar of It would be Hiivcd upon tho one Item of rural delivery.
