We do not believe r would do any tarent amount of good for us io dwell al ' ugtli on the cost of good roads, oi thc cost of bad road.-., or >ci just lo talk about t he cost of (ordinary roads.

"Add that waste to losses occa sioned by bad roads and the sum leaps to a billion a year, lt is esti mated that, in short, each man, wo man and child in the United States boars a nix of $12.50 because of bad roads." Those are just a few figures com piled from facts that ought io set us thinking. If such facts cannot show to us tb a the question of good roads is equal to the question of tariff. Hie army, the navy, commerce Itself, t?tere is nothing thal will convince us. That we need Fedoral and state aid ls, to our minds, unquestionable. What we want now is to create the I seltt I mt-nt necessary to secure both. Wt are wasting our substance year hy .'.ear through fitlse eco omy.
