The taxpayers pay for the roads, ind we pay for them because we want moother traveling for our automo- -tles. About half the money comes from the federal and slate treasuries, the other half from county and town tax es. And there is no other expenditure of tax funds which we hcgriide les.s, unless ii be the taxes we pay for ^ schools. It was not always thus. In the be ginning of the motor era, when the automobile was a rich man’s play- i thing, the last thing in the world the farmer or other small town business man would have consented to be taxed for was roads for motor cars to run on.

As a direct accom paniment .and outgrowth of the new good roads North Carolina built con solidated rural schools valued at |35,- 000,000. At Asheville there was a 200 per cent increase in dollar business be tween 1919 and 1926—the period dur ing which the good roads were built. In the Winston-Salem trade territory, the retailers reported a 65 per cent in- crea.se in purchasing power per cdpita.
