The Republican urges systematic road planning and funding to build durable, well-drained highways. It calls for a tax, a hired engineer, and trained workers to grade, gravel, tile, and maintain principal roads, arguing that better roads boost land values and civilizational progress. The piece notes weak turnout at the county Democratic convention in Lacon and criticizes piecemeal, seasonal efforts.
