President Wilson argues highway laws serve all people, with farmers gaining most direct relief from better roads. He cites savings per ton of produce, extended market reach for garden trucks, easier school and church access, improved health and quicker repairs, plus broader regional commerce and uplift in farm aesthetics as roads modernize.
A columnist argues that improved rural roads lift all boats by enabling country trips and Sunday outings. Better highways expand production, raise farmer profits per acre, and speed transport to cities, reducing waste and lowering retail prices. The result is lower living costs as road networks expand.
Representatives from every county are urged to attend the Good Roads convention in Harrisburg on Thursday September 18 at the Hall of Representatives. The meeting will weigh bond financing vs legislative appropriations to fund 8000 miles of state highways and the November ballot question on amending the constitution to permit highway bonds. The farmer's stake is emphasized as central to the benefits of improved roads.
