GOOD ROADS ARE NECESSARY Problems Involved in Railway Opera. tion Again Bring Improved High- ways to Front. While it is admitteéd that the rafl- ways must necessarlly form the na- tion’s long-distance transportation lines, the auxiliary power of the pub- lic road, through the development of the gusoline engine and the motor ve- hicle, 1s recelving thoughtful attention in official circles. Public discussion of high-cost prob- lems and the rallway situation ran into the country road at two points recently. The first point touched was that the public highway is a potential short-haul freight and express 'line, and that with a national system of improved ronds Intersecting each state north, south, east and west there will thus he constructed the basls of a com- ‘prehensive natlon-wide system of traf- fic arterles with which state and coun- ty systems may connect. With such a system prov! Ivh.‘(l the development of freight and express transportation i anticipated far beyond comprehension, says Chicngo Tribune. Its advocates assert that the motortruck as. it ap- pears on the“public highways today is but an infant to what it will be once the public ronds sre bullt to permit its cnlarged use, Those who doubt the possibllities of the highway freight and express as factors 4 the reduction and stabiliz- ing of fo A costs are told to look back over the development of the rallway and note that the beginning was upon Motortruck Is Big ‘Factor in Reduc- ing and Stabilizing Costs. a basis far less promising as a prac- tical proposition than the basis upon which the gasoline driven vehicle stands today. Dropping back to the point of short- haul/ delivery, attention is being called to the fact that the radius of highway shipping §8 being gradually extended as modern ronds are being: built. Ad- vocates of a natfonal highway system, the creation of which. is provided for in the Townsend-bill now pending fn congress, have encountered the argu- ment that approximately 50 miles is the maximum of motor delivery. Their answer is that while tlils may be true, it'is truc only at the present time be- cause of the illogical connections and the general condition of the roads. The same economic conditions which forced railway development are forcing a national development of the public highway, and -the advocates of a na- tional highway system assert that each day’s discussion of the present eco- nomic situation produces additional reasons. why the federal government must get down to highway bullding on a nationwide scale and in dead BEMIDJI CASH MARKET.
