There is a growing sentiment in Wyoming for permanent highways. Any other kind are of course temporary makeshifts and exceedingly expensive to maintain. Wyoming is in an exceedingly good position to take hold of permanent work. It has the material at hand and it lies in the path of progress. Two great national highways cross its domain, one from east to west, the other from southeast to northwest, to say nothing of the highway that is now in use from the northeast around through to the north west. It will take money, to be sure but that is what money is for. We cannot have any of the good things of this earth without making some sacrifice. Big bond issues are the only way and when we get right down to building roads we must have a law that will protect the citizens. The money must go into the roads.
