ris ‘ SAYS 60O ROADS LOWER LIVING COST By the Associated Prees. SPRINGFIELD, Il. February 23.— Good roads fn the country will do more to lower the high cost of living and more for the prosperity, com- fort, culture and happiness of the people than things fought over in twelve presidential campaigns, Gov. Oliver H. Shoup of Colorado told mem- hers of the Pike's Peak Ocean-to-Ocean Highway Association at its annual meeting here. “The establishment of motor truck express lines in every farming com- munity will stimulate the production of more food, reduce the cost of liv- ing and probably will make the pub- lic markets successful in American cities,” he continued. Continuing, he declared: “Industrial revival is being retarded, we are told, because of the agricultural situation. When the farmer can't buy. the manufacturer can't sell. The farmer can’t buy because he Is forced -to carry a large surplus of his products. Checking the markets, it is found that domestic consumption Is normal, the price low. e have an overpro- duction and no place to dispose of it. Duty to Find Market. “What needs to be done is plain. How to do it Is quite apother mat- ter. The thing to do is to find a mar- Ket for the surplus.” Deprecating the fact that the farm- d’ up as the nation’s . Shoup declared that the farmer is no worse off than men in other lines of b ter off th any. continued, has his feet on a more secure economic footing than those engaged in other vocatic Quoting from governme: 1918, Gov.

How- ever, we must not conclude that be- cause of for several national through high y lines these roads will in any way lessen the need and importance of shorter and connecting roads. “There are 30,000.000 children in_the country who should be attending school. but of this number oniy 1s.- {§ 000,000 there.
