Show THE PEOYO POST the Photodrama Beauti ful,. Which Comes to The Columbia on Friday' and Saturday, Sept. 1 1 6 "Ramona FOR A PERMANENT HIGHWAY TIIE WHITE FLAG . For a number of years passed The Post The passage of the has been advocating the construction of permanent roads through Utah county. The old dirt road and even macadamized roads having failed to meet the requirements of modern transportation, it is necessary for the comity to build roads that will stand the test. For the past ten years we have been going through experimental stages of road hiulding in Utah. Other states have been doing the same thing, but some of them have discovered the necessity of permanent roads ahead of us, and have demonstrated their value to. the people. Such states as California, Illinois, Michigan, etc., built macadam roads before we were converted to the necessity for better roads. While, we have been going through the state of macadam, they have been using concrete and other hard surface materials. We may now profit by their experiments, for their roads have made good under much heavier traffic .than will come to this state for a good many years, and under climatic conditions that we never have to meet. From the best information obtainable the" concrete road has proved the most durable according to statistics furnished by states that have "made the test and nowhere in the United States are they as well prepared to build concrete roads as we are right here in Utah county. We have the material for making cement within the bprders of the county. We have gravel beds located all along the line from the Jordan Narrows to Santaquin, so that a cement highway can be constructed at aminimum cost, and the amount of money now being spent on temporary improvements, with the assistance the state will give, will practically pay for the bonds and the maintenance of the road Utah county will have a highway of which it can boast and the fanners as well as tourists, auto" owners, and all other classes of travelers will enjoy the road as they have never enjoyed a road in their lives. We have a peculiar condition in Utah county, which, argues well for the building of this permanent highway. Over bO per cent of the farm lands are within three miles of the state roac either to the right or to the left and fully SO per cent of our farmers can use the state highway for the major portion of their journeys, to and from the markets. At the present time the cost of hauling their crops to market is heavy when time -- I . and horseflesh or auto jepairareeonsid-be will ered. With cement roads, this cost reduced to a minimum and instead of. our farmers paying from 25 to 40 cents per ton to market the per mile for hauling - crops cents per ton per cost will be from 5 to 10 mile on concrete roads. After we once get concrete or other permanent highway be run through the county, road laterals may the on left principle to the right and to the streets of the .county connecting with each to separate farming district and the saving automo-Ibilthe farmer without considering the owner will be sufficient in twenty years to to pay the necessary amount required bill last Saturday was the most pusilanimous act in the history of the American Congress. We arc unableto .recall a singlemtaneawhen in all history- - the legislative body of thi3 great nation so abjectly surrendered its right of deliberation as it has done in this case. Urged to immediate action by a frightened executive who has at all times been fearful of defeat, Congress lias rushed through legislation of the most radical and revolutionary character. Legislation that is probably if "not certainly unconstitutional, without the slightest effort having been made to weigh its justice or- - injustice and without the least consideration of its possible future consequences. It is true that by this act a public calamity has been iempo rarily averted, but that does not alter the fact that it has been done mider duress that the great government of the United States has raised the White Flag without even a show of . resistance or a desire to go into the facts in the case with a view of seeking justice, Already some of the railroads $re pule licly defying Congress and refuse td comply with the lawpassed, Jt now appears Jhat the hasty action on the part of the Democratic Congress wilj lead to untold trouble which may in the end prove much more disastrous than even the general strike had the men obeyed the call of their . leaders. The complete surrender of Congress under duress to 400,000 members of a labor organ iza tron without investigation, will more than likely prove inadequate and unstaple and not what is desired on the part of either capital or labor. We say this in no spirit of opposition to the principle of the eight-hou- r day. Quite tbe contrary. But the right or wrong of the application of that principle to the railway tvainmeut is at least a debatable question. It may prove to be beneficent in its operation, but Congress does not know this. Nor does Congress know that it wilt not prove most disastrous in its application. It is technical matter as to which the ignorance of Congress is as profound as that of the public generally. Congress has made mo effort to inform itself. It has not attempted to investigate the merits of the case,. It-- . has thrown up its hands. The1 provision1 for inquiry is without significance: Whatever may be the report of the commission the eight-hou- r law will stand undTsturb ed by Congress. That is the kind of IegTsfai-tiothat is practically impossible hr repeal in a democracy. The railroads may be bankrupted by the act, the public may have to pay tremendously for its maintenance, but it will continue in force, unless- tlie courts declare it unconstitutional. That the ourts will do so because of tlie' wage- action is quite probable, but that prospect does not relieve Congress of tbe responsibility for whatever consequences may erne from tbe establishment of this precedent of hasty legislation under compulsion.
