City Flint!. MONO those Interested In . road Improvement, the j o farmers of course stand u X first The character aud Z SfOW condition of the roads are of vital Interest to them every day in the year. The farmers, until recently, have been compelled to struggle with the road problem without much help or eucouragcmeut from any other class. Now, however, same strong elements of the city population are raiding to their support. Among these may bo uauied the manufacturer of road building machinery ; the maker and user of bicycles and autoiftoblles, and tbe moneyed men of tlie titles who have money luvrsleU in the country. These people are entering Into the work for road Improvement with eveu more enthusiasm and seal than the farmers. Just now the farmers who want better roads are brought face to face with s most important question. Will be accept the assistance of these city allies? Will he welcome tbe aid of tbe machinery byra, tbe capitalist, tbs Or bicyclist and the sntomobillst? will he treat them ss schemers who are trying to meddle with bis sf fain? JTbt answer to these questions ought to depend on what these city friends of good roads are proposing to do. if they propose to have the country roads Improved In order to Increase tholr business, and enhunce tbclr pleasures, wholly at .the expense of tbe farmer, tlien he should spuru the proffered alllanc-e.- a If, on the contrary, they are proposing,' through State and National tsxutlon.to lift-- large part of tbe burden off the farmer aud place It on the taxpayers of the cities, be ought to bid them welcome, and extend the glad hand. This Is a live question for the farmer to consider aud answer. Already tbs opponents of State and National aid are at work trying to sow seeds of suspicion lu the minds of the farmers, and they will do their best to prevent between tbe country any and city friends of good roads. As a matte rot fact. State and Na tlonal .aid offer the ouly hope of general road Improvement, and. such aid can never be secured if the city people array themselves sgnlnst It. Unless tbe fsrmera are wholly blind to their own Interests, they will welcome aid from any and every source, and will make every effort to secure the aid of the Stuto and Federal Governments. pow-erfu- l Daprnd on tba Fans era.

Such an opinion concerning the prospect for National Highway le,'delation wai recently ' ecured from a gentleman who is a close observer of men aud events, and who baa spent many yean at tbe National Capital, lie said: I have watched tbn growth of tbe good roads movement" with much Interest, and especially since Colonel Brownlow introduced Into Congress hi bill providing that the Government should pay half the expense of Improving the roads. As regards the prospect of such a measure ever becoming a law, 1 will say that It all depends on the farmers. If tbe agricultural classes go to work In earnest Tor Government aid, they will get It; if they do not. Congress will never enact such a law. In Government affairs, as lu most other affairs, I have noticed that tbe people who go after things are the people who get them. The farmers as a class rccelvo comparatively little serious consideration from Congress simply because they don't demand It. Every Congress now appropriates more than a billlou dollars, but l ow much of this Is spent lu tbe rural districts? Almost nothing. Millions are spent for public buildings in cities; millions for Improvement of rivers and harbors; millions for tbe army and navy; millions for tbe Government at Washington, etc. Occasionally a few thousand dollars go for something that directly benefits tbe fanners, but that Is nlj. Of course there isn't as much chance to give the farmers direct benefits from the spending of public money. But national aid to road Improvement furnishes an Ideal opportunity. It would even up thlugs to some extent. It wonld certainly be a big tbiug for tbe rural districts. The money spent would of course make good times; but tbe malfi benefit would come from tbe Improvement of tbe roads. It would Increase the value of farm lands; it would enable tbe farmers to market their crops to better advantage; It would make farm life better worth living.
