The question of good roads is a
vital one and was so recognized by
the leading thinkers and nationnl
leaders of the last century. Abraham
Lincoln said: .
"I am in favor of ah internal im
provement system, and believe that
the
poorest and most thinly populat-
ed countries would be greatly bene
fnl(i by the opening of good
roads
sincl in
the clearing of navigable
streams." .
liefore the day of Lincoln the
great John C. Calhoun, in a speech
before ihe house of representatives
in isitl, said: ;
"What can add more to the
wealth, strength and political -prosperity,
of our country than cheapness
of intercourse? . . . . . .
Let us then bind the Republic togeth
er with roads,"
The movement for betters roads is
growing every day and will finally
result in a greater nation.
