I y run either north ami south or east iunt west, crossing at right angles. This method of locating roads is spmetlincs called "the checker board system," and the term 1 e Quite appropriate. In somo States the road h: wh cou template the establishing of a road on every ?ec* lion line, so they will be only one mil? apart, but not nearly all these roads have been actually opened. 1 11 comparison with the system, or lack of system, whleli prevails in the older settled States of the Mast ami South, this checker board system has some advantages. Tlu> roads are noc left to l?e located at Imp hazard, or on crooked farm boundaries, or accord / ing to Urn whims or selfish interests or t h?v locators. The order and mathe matical regularity of the system na turally appeals to the minds of those who road about those l oads or si inly them on maps, but to those who actu ally travel them, their location appears to be very far short of ideal perfijc* tion. In fact the system involves two \ cry grave defects. If a man wishes to travel dirt ctly north, south, east or west, these roads take him by the shortest route. Hut a large majority of the people wish to travel iu other direct Ions. Let us suppose a mail lives exactly ten miles northwest from his country seat. In order to reach it he must travel seven miles east and seven miles south, or fourteen miles in all. Thus a majority of travelers sutler a hardship in the matter of distance. Hut the second defect in the system is far graver. The mathematical pre cision with which these roads 'are located carries them across hills ami hollows without any regard to econ omy in the matter of grades.* Where the country is perfectly, level there is i.o ditiicuity; where it is roiling the roads can only be improved at a heavy cost in making cuts and fills; where there are steep hills and deep ravines to cross the s-y.stcni is wholly imprac ticable. lioubtless one of the first benefits that will follow the adoption of the national plan will be the modification of^this system so as to remedy these defects in a large measure. Naturally the first roads to be improved in a county will be those leading directly north, south, cast and wt st from the county scat. Then main roads or av enues leading northeast, northwest, poiitheasl and southwest from the county scat should be opened and Im proved. Thus the first defect shall be largely eliminated. i The second defect pointed out can only be cured by departing from the section lines where the lay of the road makes it economical to do so. T udor national ard Stale aid compe tent engineers will be employed to correct errors of location, so as to in crease the usefulness of the voatls, and at the same time reduce their cost. The sentiment for national aid is making great headway in this part of the country. In Nebraska the Legis lature has declared in favor of it. Several members < T Congress from Missouri arc outspolren advocates of the plan. In Illinois a State Commis sion has been appointed to Investigate and report on national aid. In a num ber of other Slates definite-action will probably be taken in the near future. ' >><? ?' < ? i-ii r i s ?? Congress has no more widely useful measure of domestic legislation in hand that is contemplated in the hill put forward by Representative lirown low and Senator (jallinger to give na tional aid to the good roads movement. The plan is to make a liberal appro priation which will he available for the payment of half the cost of build in;; new roads, the other half to bo paid by the State, county or local po litical division benefited by the im provement. The authors of this de t-i::u pointed nut in aJdres^es to the Automobile Club that the general gov ernment, which h;is spent .vj/hmmmni in the Philippines and ?1 ,500, (MX) in Porto Kieo on road bnilding, could properly do something in that line for the Amer ican fanner. As !? ir?0,uo0,0()0 has been spent on rivers and harbors since the Civil War, they suggest it is time t<> make facilities fov land travel also a matter of I'eilernl concern. There is no doubt that the AinerU <:^j farmer directly, and the whole peoplo indirectly, would gain much by the stimulus the good roads inove inent would receive from a federal appropriation sharing with the Stato half the cosi ?>f new roadways. There is oyly one argument ami Inst putting to plan ipilckly into effect, and that is the danger of opening the way to extravagance in appropriations and ??graft" in their expend) lure. If the American people could have assurance not to say insurance, against turning the plan to the advantage of reckless lc-,'i>lators and corrupt contractors, they would quickly order it carried out. They want no more river and harbor grabs or public buildings steals or rural free delivery plunder. There are plvnty of arguments against open ing the Treasury door to that kind of ??graft" Hut there is no argument against good roads. I'uWItc Itutili tli* Vein*. ?
