Show II KEEPING HP THE I GOOD work H Knjul building is n (rood bit like rc- fM lipion. It takes some one continually H pounding nway to keep people work- H injr at it. An rvnnrelint can come H in and stir up a lot of enthusiasm and H procure lot of pood resolutions, luit H it takes nomehody on the Job all the H time if results are to he shown. H There is nolwdy opposed to koo1 H roads, hut a whole lot of fellows are H perfectly willing to put off from day H to day, even unto eternity the doing H of anything to Mug about better con- H Jitti.n. H It has b.-i-n said that a certain well H known winter resort is paved with H good intentions. It is equally true H that the entire state of Illinois (and H all the other states, for that matter) H is regularly and very frequently paved H with resolutions of hot air. And all H we need is the machinery for trans- H forming this surplus into a durable H surface that will stand the contact H and impact of modern traffic. H Of course, you agree with these H statements. What you want to know H is: "What have you to suggest?" H Our plan to remedy this condition is H for you or someone else in your com- H munity to make it his business to H work at it. We have made the state- H ment before, but it will bear repeating H as often as one gets a chance to im H press it upon the people, that every fM community has just as good roads as H it deserves. When they want good H roads bad enough they will build them H and they will never have them until H they are fairly converted to the fact H that the only way they can have them H is to get busy. H Don't go around asking people if H they are in favor of good roads. You H might as well ask them If they are in H favor of good weather or good crops. H Study the question; get a common H sense program adapted to your com- H munity lined up, and then ask them if H they are in favor of doing that par- H ticular thing. H Once you have a compact group of H active citizens behind a particular Hi program, you are going to get action, H and action is the one thing worth H while in the whole matter.
