COLONEL POPE ON GOOD HIGHWAYS

I'ersonally 1 believe in an extensive
development of both state and federal
roads, writes Colonel Albert A. Pope in
Ji.irper's Weekly. For many years wc
have expended liberal sums of money
lor the betterment of rivers and har
bors, and the results accomplished an
<•011 nieudablo, but we must not lose
.-.igiit of tlie fact that a great majority
of the people live away from the coast
and waterways, in regions where the
nect ssily for good highways is im
perative.
11l many eases these people need the
in-; ■ ipriatiim* and national aid a great
deal more than those dwelling nearer
!!..■ seaboard or 011 streams that teem
with industry. 'Hie highways are the
natural feeders to railways, and im
provements on them materially in
• re.ise botli interstate and international
commerce. If our government has
seen tit to be liberal in river and bar
bor work, It is reasonable to expert
that the building and maintenance of
public highways must demand the
sauu- attention. There is an interde
pendency here which cannot be over
looked by those who analyze this ques
tion aright.
It lias long been a mooted question as
to wli.it is the besl method of raising
film's for the construction of public
highways, but I know'of no better way
than for state and federal government
to i su<- special bonds for the purpose.
Three per cent, fifty year bonds of this
kind would find an immediate market,
and they could be paid by a sinking
fund of 2 per cent per annum, which
would mean that there would be charg
ed against this indebtedness ri per cent
per annum to be provided for by taxa
tion. Such bonds could be issued from
time !■> time as the work progressed, so
that funds would always bo available
up ti> the limit of the bonded indebted
ness agreed upon.
There is a trait in American charac
ter which makes us ultra conservative
on some issues, especially where long
established custom causes us to travel
in ruts so deep that it is difficult to
leave them.
For '.ears the inhabitants of the rural
distric i -t of our country deceived them
selves in believing that the best, and by
that i meant the cheapest, way to pay
a road tax was to work it out by a
definite quota of day's labor on the
highways. It took a far reaching and
aggrer dve educational campaign to
persuade them that the old method of
road building and repair was unneces
sarily costly and thoroughly ineffec
tual. Nor was this reformatlnn well
started until so-te communities had
made a practical demonstration of the
actual value of g'»od highways to those
who i'i>peud on the soil for a living.
In working out His road tax Wie farm
er ehn:g t-1 the idea that a dollar saved
was a-• good as a dollar earned, and at
the s-i:-''o time he lost siaiit of the tru
i m tiijt it i good busine s p iMcy to
inve.it a dollar which will bring back
two. Once the fanner was shown by
object lessons that good highways,
passable the year round, were
to a profitable handling of farm prod
ucts 1 • freely expressed astonishment
at having been fooled by the methods
inherited from liis ancestors.
This educational work, which in its
inception called for great energy and
the liberal expenditure of time and
money, was later on helped by both
state and federal government. An ap
propriation was-made by congress for
the purpose of collecting and dissemi
nating information on road building
and icpair. road materials and other
kindred topics. As a result the farm
ers learned that to build roads proper
ly. though apparently expensive, was
in reality an economic measure. They
were led to see that the highways were
natural feeders of railways and that it
was:<% much of a detriment to have
produce snowbound or mudhound on
Hie farm as to have freight congested
on tae railroad. They comprehended
the difference in cost between hauling
a ton a mile on good and bad roads,
and they realized, too, that with pass
able roads the year round the hauling
to station and other shipping points
could be done to advantage out of sea
son when draft animals were not need
y .These few paragraphs will indicate
fn outline the manner in which Ibis
great reform was started by agitation
and fostered by education until the
question is not, "Shall we have good
roads?" but "Ilow can we best secure
and maintain them?"
F.xperience has taught us the valua
ble lesson that highways must be con
strtM ted and cared for under skilled su
pervision. This point is emphasized by
the fact that the demand for trained
road engineers is constantly increasing,
and to meet it our educational institu
tioi.s and colleges are offering a regu
lar coursi* of study lo lit students for
this important work. A number of
Mates have appointed highway com
missions, whose duty is to suitably
provide Ifor the expenditure of money
appropriated for state highway*.

CALIFORNIA
Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round—
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied than in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence ?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ?
Then goto California, where both health and opportunity await
your coming.
The Chicago, Union Pacific and
North-Western Line
is the most direct route to the Pacific Coast, and there are two
fast through trains daily via this line, over the famous double
track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River.
Special low round-trip rates are in effect via this line
throughout the summer to various Pacific Coast points, and
colonist low rate one-way tickets will be on sale during Sep
tember and October, which give an unusual chance for settlers
to make the trip at a minimum of expense.
Daily and personally conducted excursions are operated through to San
Francisco, Los Angeles, and Portland without change, on which a double
berth in a Pullman tourist sleeping car from Chicago costs only $7.00, via the
Chicago & North-Western, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railways.
