Working for Their Adoption.
The Highway Improvement Committee Of

lican national platforms. 1t realizes the
difficulties of securing such recognition

members know, from personal experience.
the amount Of work to be done and the
methods necessary TO a successful out
come.
The leaders of the l.. a. W. have often
been brought into contact with the poll
ticans Of both parties and it can be said
10 the credit of the league and the po-
litical officials that many rights, privileges.
and accommodations for wheelmen have
resulted. So it cannot be said the con-
vontions will be approached by novices
who know nothing of the status of their
request or of the personality of the men
they will have to approach. Neither will
the work be done in a careless way or
with a reliance upon a belief that mere
request from the committee will be suf-
ficient They are going at 1t in a system
attic way, details Of which cannot be given
now, and the full strength of the organiza-
tion will be supporting them.
In recent years the good roads work
done by the National Government has been
upon a most miserable scale. its entire
assistance being confined to an Office of
Road Enquiry attached to the Department
of Agriculture. which was allowed 81, 600
year for the expense of It's operation, pre-
yious to this year. when Congress appro-
priated the sum of $4,000. which will pay
only the salaries and expenses connected
with the office. In the past as will be the
case in the future. the road experts of this
Office, when attending road conventions or
meetings. have had to have their expenses
paid by the organizations calling them.
That Government officers Should have to
labor under such an embarrassment is n
reproach to our National Government.
The l.. A. w. wants this condition recti-
fed, as well as material appropriations for
highway building, and the adoption Of the
planks will be a long step in the desired
direction.
Many papers in all sections of the coun-
try endorse the proposition of the League
OF American Wheelmen that good roads
plank should be inserted in the platforms
of the great political parties.
The Michigan Division Of the League OF
American Wheelmen recently defeated an
attempt TO license bicycles in Detroit. 1t
was proposed class legislation, as other
vehicles were not included.
The dates of the national meet of the
League of American Wheelmen are July 10
to 10. AS the event has been held in Au-
gust for several years past, there is some
confusion owing to the change and the
promoters wish to correct the erroneous
impression.
