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.

Kourth. That the Initiative' should t-e
(eft with tho respective townships, road
districts or parlnhea, these to furnish at
leiiat one third of thn total coat, with tho
state clothed with power to veto any liu
provement If of .itisutllelout linportanee.
Tills power would probably , bo seldom If
ever used. It may bo assumed If tho road
was not a main hlKhwny nnd nee, led the
Seopl o a township would not vote to
ulld It when they had to raise at lenat
one-third of the- money required to. do so
. f ifth.-That If this country Is to fulfill
Its high destiny and meet the require

tion and Its opportunity good road nre a
barnmnunt necessity, and to get them
fpeedlly requires, both federal nnd mate
aid to hearten the people to undertake
