Southern good roads . s By HON. CURTIS HILL, State Highway Engineer, of Columbia, Missouri It requires three things to make a great coimtx-y;the right kind of people, productive lands, and meansof communication and transportation. Fix your at-tention upon the road question from the standpoint ofcommunication and transportation, with the highwayas an important part of the transportation system.Draw a mind sketch in which imagine yourself mak-ing a large map of your state. On this map draw linesrepresenting the railroads and mark the tonnage offreight carried by them. Then draw a second set ofdifferent colored lines representing the waterwajs andmaris! the tonnage of freight carried by them. In stillanother color make a third set of lines to represent thepublic wagon roads and mark thereon the tonnage offreight moved over them. Note the comparison intonnage transported and you will see that the propor-tion moved over the highways, originating in the state, exceeds either of the others. This map will also show. HON. CURTIS HILL that •liile the railways azid waterways touch uponsome farms and communities, the highways reach themall. Then is not the highway an important factor inthe system of transportation—as important as the rail-way or waterway. It requires them all, highway, wa-terway and railway to make up the complete -ystemof transportation and the very basis of this transpor-tation system is the highway. The commercial great-ness of the south cannot be built upon a firmer founda-tion than good highways. If we assume that road building is to make use ofnatural materials in such a manner as to produce theimproved road and that the roads should be built tomeet the needs and the demands of travel coming up-on them, it follows that all the roads should not berocked, graveled or oiled, neither should all be ofearth. Many of the states have such a diversity ofroad making material that no one method or plan ofconstruction is adaptable in all parts of a state andplan
