MONEY ON HIGHWAYS
“We have provided ourselves with
the motor vehicle rolling stock
cost of many billions of dollars *
we must now provide the tracks’,,?
which to operate it,” sa id ThlT
Sterling, United States senatwr?
South Dakota and chairman 0 f l
senate committee on post offices 2
post roads, in making a plea for 5
continuation of federal aid in a reem
address. 1
After outlining the need for a fed.
eral appropriation of SIOO,OOOOOO
year for ten years and a like approprj.
ation from the states if the system of
170,000 miles of federal aid highways
is to be completed within ten years.
Senator Sterling stated that he‘could
not say just what congress would do.
"When it is known that the whole
sale value of automobiles and trucks
manufactured last year amounted to
over $2,500,000,000 and that the whole
sale value of tires manufactured
amounted to $760,000,000 and that we
spent over $1,000,000,000 for automo
bile parts and accessories, exclusive ot
tires,” said Senator Sterling, "it does
not sound unreasonable to propose that
we should spend at least $100,000,0(10
a year from the federal treasury and
an equal amount by the states in’order
to complete our federal highway sys
tem within a reasonable length ot
time.
“We must not forget that the good
roads built under this system serve
even a higher use than that of the
tourist or of the visitor or those on
pleasure bent. We must think of the
commercial and economic advantages
of a system of good roads, of what
they mean to the farmer, who, on such
roads and by means of the motortruck,
finds It easy and a great saving of time
and expense to transport, not only his
grain, but his hogs and sheep or cattle
to market. Another consideration Is
the enhanced value of his land due to
the good road at his door or nearby.
One of our great economic and com
mercial problems is that of bringing
the market and the producer closer to
gether.”
Transportation Is Big
Factor to All Farmers
The farm and highway transport are
closely hound together. The transpor
tation of his product Is a most impor
tant factor in the success of the farm

travel first over the highway. It bas
been said the requirements of a good
farmer are:
1. The ability to make a comfort
able living from the land.
2. To rear a family carefully and
well.
3. To be of good service to the com
munity.
4. To leave the farm more pro
ductive than when he took it.
Every one of these requirements is
affected by highway transportation.
Take the first: “The ability to make
a comfortable living from the land.
