GOOD ROAD I
MOVEMENT
B. F. Yoakum Taking:
an Active Interest
In the Work
SHOWS FARMERS
Gives Them an Idea of What
Good Wagon RoadS Mean
tO a Country
The thousands of people who are
giving caroful thought and support to
tho Good Roads Movement In the
United States will bo interested in
the exceptionally practical co-operation
from a somewhat unexpected
source.
Mr B F Yoakum who nas vigor-
ously maintained fcr the Rock Island-Frisco
lines that the interests
of the farmer and tho railway arc in-
lordopendont and that those things
which benefit ono must nccssnrily
benefit tho other hat adopted some
very practical and original methods
to demonstrate his belief that the
railway and the farmer are natural
partners and that the fullest success
of botli depends upon proper co-opcr-
ntkn.
Tho following from one of tho Now
York dailies indicates one of his
muthods of emphasizing tho economic
value of good wagon roads through-
out the Sosthwest which is served
by his lines:
"B F Yoakum chairman of tho
cxeuutivu committee of tho Rock Island-Frisco
linos it to give a party
of prosldonts of farmers' unions from
Texas Arkonsiis Louisiana aid Ok-
lahoma an automobile rldo over the
good roads of New Joiaey New

setts Connecticut and New York

thoy ought to have In thoir natlvo

New Jersey trip ends September 23.
and the party leavos on the night
train for Concord N. IL whero the
trip over tho New England roads will
commence. Tho governor of New
Hampshire will accompany tho party
part way. The mute is from Concord
to Nishua Nashua to Boston Boston
to Providence and Providenco to Now
Haven and will consuTio four days.
Tho Stato Highway Commissioner
ana a corps ot engineers will accom-

sets' wil1 b0 tKmoro1 n dinner y

tho Stuto Highway Comm.ssion in

Tho Current Issue of Austin Tex
as commenting on Mr. Yoakum's
plan says:
"It is well known that on tho
graded roads in tho States over which
the party i raveled ono hcrsc will do
the same work as thrco of four on
tho averoge roads of Toxaa or Okla-
homa. In overy stato tho command-
ing importance of good roads is re-
cognized but just what kind to de-
cido on and how to go nt the work to
gwt tho best results for the loast out-
lay is a problem not so readily solved
"In many localities road u!ding
ion new deal to the people.
"In compnratlvoly now Scatos thoy
have been so busy making a living
bringing now sections of country un
dor cultivation establishing homes
and schools and churches and the
various immediate necoseiUesi of civi-
lized life that they have manuged to
get along witl any old kind of roads
kepi up in tho slam-and-jum way thut
minks all community road working n
few days each year.
But for savoral yeais there has bean
a dispnsitiou everywhere to socuro
something better.
Commendable progress .'ma baen
made too in various ccuntiofl in this
Slate but ull are forced to admit
that good roads construction is only
in the beginning stago here. Tho
same is true of Oklahoma Arkansas
and Louisiana. Hence there could
hardly bo anything moro conductlvo

Per""lly conducted
--mere is no neea in this connec
tion to uttributo to him any extra-
ordinary dltuism or philanthropy in
what ho has dono.
It is a practical business affair bo-
tween business associotious or part-
nets as he said at Tulsa.
"Of course tho farmers adjacent
to his roads will get thoir products
to the station somehow over any kind
owagon ways; but Mr. Yoakum
knows that first-class wagon roads
stand for bottor farming but for
putting overy nvailablo aero under
the plow for ease and facility in
moving a crop encourages and stimu-
lates tho growing of moro nnd better
crops.
'"The same section with good
wagon rquds will give the railroads
more traffic out and in ttan with bad
wagon roads.
"What builds up 'tho country and
utilizes its lands nnd resources to the
best advuntogu also builds up tho
farmers' business and no man knovs
this bettor than B. F. Yoakum.

I whiuh was so rotten that it receive"
tho sovtire condemnation of a great
nmny republican members from tho
producing status in tho Union tho
three maim pat members from Okln-
tioinu try to palliate their sins by
explaining to tin. farmors that tho
bill contains protection for tho farmer
as well as tho trust manufacturers.
They aro presuming upon tho
ignorance of Oklnhomans to mako
this effective. A tariff on goods
that is imported always tends to in-
crease the price of mucli goods. First
becauso tho tnriff must Do added to
tho cost price of the geeds if Hold in
in this country and second if tho
goods aro of homo manufaciura tho
competition with trio foreign goods
ahd higher prices can bo successfully
demanded.
But the United States is not im-
porting wheat corn cotton in any
quanity nnd live stock only to a limi-
ted extent. The market price of all
farm products is fixed by the great
foreign markets plus tho cost of
transportation Of courso all mar-
kets aro effected to a certain oxtent
by local conditions but in tho in
stance of wheat or still moro notice-
ablo of cotton it is well known that
the market price of these great com-
modities are fixed in Liverpool.
Now what would be tho difference
if a duty of ono oollur per bushel was
placed upon wheat or ten cents per
pound upon cotton? No foreign
country Is sending any wheat or cot
ton to tho United States hence a duty
on these commodities does not effect
tho irarket a single cent. Tho
American f armor is compel leed to
compete with the pauper labor of
Russia when he markets his wheat and
the pauper labor of Egypt nnd India
when ho markets his cotton. ThlB
being truo there is no such being as
protection to tho American farmer
und tho miserable tubterfugu adopted

farmer will bo cure to ct us a boom-
erang before the next election rolls
