It has been put together on a helter-skelter basis to meet the needs of whatever political group happened to be in power. But now, we are informed by a bulletin from the state high- way department, under the combined aegis of the state and fed- eral government that is to be changed. Engineering and factual data are to be used in the effort to develop a system which will keep abreast of the times. The government has provided the money whereby all of the factors can be evaluated, each given its proper importance and put in its proper place. Such things, we are informed, as “the character and flow of traffic; taxing and regulation of traffic vehicles; origin and destination of vehicles and loads; repayment of the cost of roads according to the weight and commodity of loads; a study of highway rev- enue and expenditure.and life of the roads and the ratio of wor! to revenue” are each to be measured and given proper impor- tance. When all of this has been done, the public infers, our high- way problems will be over. There will be nothing to do except apply these data to the problem in hand and thereby accomplish the desired results. 2 ’Tis a consummation devoutly to.be wished’ and everyone knows that more knowledge must go into our highways. Yet to give 100 per cent credence to the improved outlook would be a mistake. There is always the possibility of error in the basic data themselves. Add to this the probability of less-than-per- fect performance and the roseate dream fades. It is wise to substitute facts for politics in our road pro- gram and much improvement can be hoped for as a result, but perfection is always elusive. Knowing this North Dakotans will be content if the facts and figures now being prepared result in’ any substantial im- provement; if it permits the state highway department to come abreast of the need, to say nothing of forestalling it. And always, of course, there is that recurring problem of how tw finance the projects which the planners hold necessary. ; FRU IEETE igtal (ih HH rie fist teeetlig i il Le gee 8 Lan agit ; Ee § it : § nT iif Ho (Elbe Hace is t g a i 3 ze E z = HW a EE li Sucker Season This is the season when purveyors of sweepstakes tickets move through the land offering the little pieces of cardboard which may, later in the year, turn into a large sum of money.
