To properly maintain Its roads Dr. Pratt said a county .. ahould have a right to govern all traffic on It road and he want thl power bestowed on th county commissioner. After a system of good rosds haa been built In a county the use of wide-tired wagon should be forced on those . hauling over the roads, especially In the case of heavy lumber wagona Th ques tion of wide-tired wadkns is to be discussed at a meeting called to b held In Washington for that purpose, and an effort will be mads to have all wagon manufacture! present at this conference. - The Htata now regulate automoDiie and there ' la mo reon wii vuuiiuM anouia not nave me au thority to regulate ail other public road traffic.
