'lo Tho lied Cloud Chief:
I have objections to tho iculutions
of the 1-in ineis Congress at Omaha en
the roa l question. They claim they
are in tavor of good lnticlslo haul faun
pioducts to mat K el, but dun t s( oin to
caio a dm n for the Rural Mail ititier
that has lo cairy mail and paicoK
everyday, lor the farmer, anil I knew
from going over some of the itiiiil
ionics that tho govei i incut would do
tho light thing, by stopping the enny
iug of the mail until the toutes tveic
p it in decent shape lo cany the mail
over.
They claim they ate opposed to a
policy ol stoi.e.or surface toads, which
is all light, but intimates that it is tho
government's policy to build toads at
clO.of'O toS'20.000 per mile.
I hnvo never seen or heard of the
government pioposing to build stone
roads ut a cost of $'20,000 per mile, noi
do I believe that the ones tint got up
the i (.'solutions ever heaid of it either,
only in their own imaginations.
The hceretaiy of Agricultiuo h s
tho disposing of the road fund that
tlie government appropriates and sine
ly ho would bo more intoicsted in the
fartneis than any other government
olllcial.
Tlie Farmers Congiess passed ieso
lutions objecting to the legislature
miking a lavvto moettho lequirements
of tho Federal Road Law. I claim the
legislature should meet t)io requite,
inentu of tho Federal Roud Law. Theie
will be eight or ten times as much 101 d
money used in tlie state as wo would
get from the government.
The state should mako tho appropri
ation to meet tlie government appio
priation and let it be expended on the
i unit mail routes for tho next two
years, and peiliaps the rest of us might
get a lesson from tlie imptovemont of
the mail route on how to make roads.
I boliovoat tho end of two years
that the farniets would bo falling over
each other petitioning the legislatuie
to have tho Fedeial Roael Law to apply
to all roads.
Tlie legislature should see to It 'that
each county gets their piorato share,
according to what they pay into tl c
load fund, evciy county should got
their piouito shine and theie would be
no room for quibling.
1 will eiuote a few vvoiels of a speech
by the hecretaiy of Agiicultuie, to
state highway olllcials at Washington,
lust slimmer. He says '! need not em
phusiie be font you tlie importance ot
good loads. Most intelligent people
who think about good roads know that
they aio essential to pioper communit'v
development especially to tho devilop
uient of rural life; to oflleient pioduci
iott and ordinal ly maiUeling of faun
pioducts; to good schools and to the
development of a .satistncioiy iiirul
life Many people however do not ap
preciate this and I have occasionally
met road otllceis who, when the in.
poi tanco of good loiuls was emphasis
ed, have said: "Yes, but they cost too
much." Apparently they hnvo not
thoiutlil how much mote bad rou s
cost, not only in dollars and cents, but
aso in all those imluicut ways foi
which one can make no definite calcu
lation.
"If as tlie re-ull of this act, tlie
people ato induced fully to rcalio tlie
necessity ot placing skilllul and ex
potieneed men in cliaige of roael tutilet
ing and road mainleuauce, a gieat ad
vnuce will have been made and the
elloits of those who labored to secure
the legislutioit will hnvo been rewind
ou Tho duty will lost upon jmj gen
tleinen who lepreseiit the states, of ui
foi niing the people as to the meaning
of this legislation and as to the put
