Permanent IUmuI for NeftraMk
Now that peace Is in sight. Nebra
ska as well as her sister states, will
jet back to the problems which need
solving at home One of the most im
portant facing this state Is that of
permanent road const met ion. Geo. V.
fohnson, state engineer, recently '
ued the following statement regard-
ng the road proposition for Nebras
ta: The question of constructing pre
uanent roads in Nebraska is one

I taily, must be answered sooner or
ater by the voters of the state. What
rom the answer will take cannot now
e definitely stated. Other states are
nswerlng this same question satis
factorily In various ways.
This month, the voters of the gf
t Illinois have been called upon to
ass judgment upon the $60,ft.Aftu
ond Issue for the construction of
,800 miles of hard surface road
ays. The law provides that the
rlncipal and Interest of the bonds
e paid from automobile licenses dnr
ig a period of twenty-five years. By
teans of this plan, tbe roads are to
i built by the State's automobile
wners.wlthout a cent of direct tax

srners who use the roads will fin

caM bo Interestad In road impre-
ment, Fince he must pay the tax
ed for actual construction. He la
'are - that miles of hard-earfaeed
nnected roads will serve, mif
nes the cost each year In the re
ced upkeep of his car. The fund
paid for license will -be turned into
the fund within the State, and in a
short time the owner will be using
the roads he has helped to build.
The manufacturer Is well aware
the roads will add more thanetaom
roads will add more than their cost
to the value of the farms In his
immediate vicinity. Suppose he owns
his car. If railroads are made ac
cessible by good roads, the farmer
saves time when transporting pro
ducts to large cities. If he does not
own his car, he must realize that
motor trucks are sure to pass his
door in the near future as "return
load" motor truck traffic Is being or
ganised in every county throughout
the state. The average farmer Is well
aware that motor trucks are de
structive to most earth roads, and
in certain seasons of the year earth
roads are almost impassable. As ow
ner of a car, he cannot afford to
miss the chance of aiding In hard
surfaced road building In Nebraska;
he is presented with good roads at
low cost.
Each business man realizes tbe im
portance of good roads In relation to
tbe success of his business. Little
need be said concerning the benefits
received, as they are ever present
and over Increasing,
of the share good roads play In his
business. His market for raw pro
ducts Is stimulated, his chances of
shipping quickly, Increased; his
time and labor saved; his Investment
doubled.
The laboring classes should rea
lize their share In the benefit of
hartf-eurfaced road building. If road
construction were to begin tomorrow
in this state, the greater proportion
of production cost of road materials
to be used, would go to the laborer
in adages.
The production workers of such
materials as cement, asphalt, brick,
tar . sand, gravel, steel and machin
ery will receive directly the benefits
of such n,bond issue as is proposed.
We have not mentioned the edu
cational and social adventages afford
ed to nearly every person in the state
These however are relatlvly small In
comparison to the other benefits. Illi
nois did not propose to begin exten
sive road-building until after the war
but the recent peace negotiations will
hasten construction and Illinois will
have suitable. employment for the
thousands of discharged soldiers and
munition plant workers. Illinois is
facing the question now, and will be
prepared to do Its share In adjust
ment and reconstruction. They are
planning, like other states, for the
future.
""The city of Cleveland, Ohio Is plan
ning now for just such problems.
Mayor Davis has asked all depart
ments to submit to him an outline
of needed public lmproveents. There
reports will be refered to th City
Planning Comlssion and upon ap
proval, will be put In operation.
