H. E. Hjifitlngton head of tho great electric traction
system of Los Angeles has tho right) Idea when ho re-
fuses to oxtend IiIb lines Into npwly opened out-laying
scctlonB unless good roads nro first built through thoso
srctloas to afford ordinary access and faclHtleB of traf-
fic. His Idea Is that where there aro good roads busi-
ness and pcoplo will follow and ho regards first class
highways as In no senso .competitive to hIsrallroads
hut qulto tho contrary as-the nifst efficient aid to build
ing up his properties.
Half the states In tho union are administering their
roads business under tho samo road laws as prevailed
In England When America was a British colony. This'
system of road administration provides for tho payment
of road taxes partly In labor and tjio work Is undor tho
supervision of minor local road overseers without skui
or knowledge ofrond building. It is only In Jhe states
that base ljroken away from the old system that any
marked progress in road "administration can bo discerned.
It Is time to" advanco the general movoment ior Biauo
and national aid In building highways. Tho national
govornment has powor to construct great through llnes
of traffic acrosB tihe continent and a system of national
highways ought to be planned. Every state in the union
Bhould adopt a definite and consistent plan of state aid
In building main highway and state co-operailon In the
engineering departmont for local work of comparative-
ly minor Importance.
Good roads are to any locality what a good circulation
of tho blood is to tho human body. Thoy aro tho first)

tho farm values in Texas Including products etc. at

rcpord states that tho reconly passed nursery inspection
law has worked successfully and thousands of- dollars
havo been saved to tho people of the state in. a rigid
enforcement of the law preventing tho distribution ot
pesta over tho stato. So enormously are the agricultural .
Interests growing that tho commissioner asks for larger
appropriations. Ho asks that tho legislature arrange to'
pay $30000 or $40000 pdr year for collecting through tho
tax assessors agricultural statistics. Tho present sta-
tutes fail to provido rfny compensation for tlio nssossors
