FARMERS AND GOOD ROADS
Cemt ( Baallac fmrm Frdaa Over
i Ctmmtrr Hlkwar ' I
The advocates of good roads will find
plenty of arguments In the recent re
port of the Industrial commission on
the marketing and distribution of farm
ing products.;1 This report shows the
value of good country roads and the
Immense saving that could be effected
through them. It also furnishes argu
ments In favor of the construction of
electric lines through the farming sec
tions of the country not only for the
hauling of passengers, but for the haul
ing of freight j . : ,-.
The report shows that the cost of
hauling funn products over country
roads Is $IMW.OOQ,000'a year. or more
than the entire cost of operating nil iw
railways In the United States, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser. Ttw
total operating expoiiHes of railroads is
-estimated at ouly ?S1S,000.000 annual
ly. The average haul to the nearest
shipping station' In the transportation,
of farm products is twelve miles, and
tbe average coat is 23 cents a ton a
mile, of $3 a ton for the twelve miles.
By comparing' this ton mile cost with
the average ton mile revenue of the
railroads In the country, which amounts
to 7 mills a mile, the Immense oppor
tunity for saving that would be effect
ed through good roads may readily be
seen, if farm products could be hauled
to market at 7 mills a ton mile, as Is
tbe case with railway . traffic, the en
tire charge for transportation would be
less than $20,000,000 as .compared with
the $1)00,000,000 it costs the farmers to
haul their products over ordinary roads.
The -building of good roads and the
construction of electric lines will mean
an enormous saving to tbe farming
classes. Some of tbe advocates ot good
roads believe that the two could be
constructed Jointly., as the cost would
be proportionately less for tbe building.
of good wagon roads, which could also
be used for electric railways. :' These
electric railways could be constructed
through those sections of the farming
community which would offer the best
possibilities in the way of freight and
passenger t riffle returns, and wagon

"One of tbe thlnpt that Impressed inu
most while away was that no matter
wbere.one may go in France he finds
the very best of roads," said the Hon
William Flynn In an interview pub
lished In the Pittsburg Times. 4;i bad
an excellent opportunity to observe that
fact while on my way from Paris to
Alx-les-Balns. We made the Journey' of
425 miles In an automobile, taking the
trip by easy stages and reaching Alx
les-Bains three days later. For miles
end miles at a stretch there the roads
are 00 a straight line, and every, foot
of the way we found to be in the very
best of condition. It. seems that in
France they are far ahead of our coun
try In taking care of their roads.
"Roudmakiug in France Is handled
very differently from tbe way ' it ' is
handled in this country, ' For instance,
repairs are made to the roads there
long before the appearance of the road
would indicate that any Immediate re
pairs were needed. Qf course the roads
there are very old and are well cured,
so that with their present method of
repairs It is a comparatively easy mat
ter to keep them In tbe best of eondi
tion: .!;;'; -4; ;,;--p"ir "p-o
"A remarkable thing about the road
question in France Is that travel is not
bo heavy as Is the case in our country,
but notwithstanding that fact tbe roads
are not allowed to suffer from neglect.
The rundn.are maintained by what are
called departments there,, which in our
country would be called counties, and
It Is no uncommon thing for one to
travel Uundrcds of miles and not find a
single hole or rut in any part of the
road,'---:' J; y:. ' " j
