seems that by the former policy
The government did too much,
| and by the latter policy ii does
too little. There should be q
middle ground between these two
extremes. which would conform
to the composit nature OF our
government, and have a tendency
to distribute more equitably its
burdens and benefits.
A reference to the present bill
will show that it does not seek
to re establish the original policy
requiring the United States gov
ernment to appropriate the total
amount of money necessary to
improve any given highway, but
that it only provides that the
government shall contribute one
half Of It's cost, when the road is
built, in cooperation with amy
State or political subdivision
thereof" The following sec
tions are quoted from the bill:
Sec. ). That any State or pol
itical subdivision therOf, through
it's proper officers having juriS-
diction on the public roads, may
apply to the director of the bu-
reau of public roads for co oper-
alton in the actual construction
of q permanent improvement of
any highway within the said
State in the following mann II:
Every application for the coop.
GRAFTON herein provided for shall
be accompanied by properly
certified resolution, stating that
the public interest demands the
Improvement of the highway de-
scribed therein. but such descrip-
ton shall not include any por-
ton OF the highway within the
boundaries Of any city or lncor,
porated village.
Sec. &. Fiat the director of
said bureau. upon receipt OF any
such application. shall investi-
gate and determine whether the
highway or section thereof sought
to be improved is Of sufficient
public Importance to come with
in the purposes Of this act, TAX
| inc into account the use, location
and value Of such highway or
section thereof for the purpose
Of common traffic and travel, and
| for rural free delivery OF mail by
the'United States government.
and after such investigation shall
certify his approval of such ap-
plication. If he shall disapprove
such application, he shall certify
his reasons therefor to the public
officer or officers making the ap-
plication.
Sec. Z. That if the director
of said bureau shall approve such
application, he shall cause the
highway or section thereof there
in described to be mapped, both
in outline and profile. He shall
indicate how mach Of such high,
wav or section thereof may be
improved by deviation from the
existing lines whenever it shall
be deemed OF advantage to obtain
T. shorter or more direct road
without lessening It's usefulness,
or wherever such deviation is OF
advantage by reason OF leSsened
gradients. He shall also cause
plans and specifications OF such
highway or section thereof to be
made for telford, macamad or
gravel roadway, or other sulta-
BILE construction, taking into con-
sideration climate, soil and ma
terial to be had in the vicinity

ed the citizens of the various
States to the pains and penalties
Of violating a United States law,
and of being arrested by United
States officials.
The following paragraph. bear
ing upon this question, is quoted
from THE Old National Road
A Chapter of American Expan-
sion" by Archer Butler Hubert:
But the road was hardly com
pleted when specter OF constl-
tutional cavif arose. threatening
it's existence. In 1S22, q bill was
passed bv congress, looking to,
ward the preservation and repair
of the newly built road. 1t should
be stated that the rOadbed. though
completed in one sense. was not
i'm condition to be used eXteuSlve-
lv unless continually repaired.
In many places only a single
layer of broken stone had been
laid. and with the volume of traf-
tic which was daily passing over
if, the road did not promise to
remain in good condition. In
order to secure funds for the con.
stant repairs necessary, this bill
ordered the establishment of
turnpikes with gates and tolls.
The bill was Immediately vetoed
by President Monroe on the
ground that congress, according
to his Interpretation of the con
stitution, did not have the power
to pass such a sweeping meas
ure of internal Improvement.
THE president based his con
clusion on the following grounds,
stated in a special message to
congress, dated May i. 1922; "A
power to establish turnplkes,
with gates and tolls, and to en-
force the collection of the tolls
by penalties, implies a power to
adopt and execute complete
system of internal improvements.
A right to impose duties. to be
paid by all persons passing a
certain road, and on horses and
carriages. as is done by this bill,
involves the right to take the
land from the proprietor on Il
valuation, and to pass laws for
the protection of the road from
injuries: and if it exists as to one
road. it exists as to any other,
and to as many roads as congress
may think proper to establish.
A right to legislate for the 9th
ers. 1t is a complete right OF
Jurisdiction and sovereignty for
all the purposes Of Internal im-
Droyement, and not merely the
right of applying money under
the power vested in congress to
make appropriations (underw which
power, with the consent of the
States through which the road
passes, the work was originally
commenced, and has been SO far
executed.)
The original policy of the
United States government, by
which it appropriated all the
money required to build a great
road. was followed by the other
extreme of appropriating moth
mo either to build or maintain or
to contribute in any way TO the
betterment OF the common high:
wavs of the country. This latter
policy has continued for practi-
cally two generations, and the
result is that there has been very
little Improvement in the public

MINERS AND OPERATORS
AGREE UPON WAGE SCALE.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. "a scale
that provides for an increase in wages
that averages IA per cent. was offered
by the soft coal operators Saturday to
the miners of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and western Pennsylvania. IT was
taken up at the convention Saturday
afternoon and was ratified and accept
ed. The convention then adjourned
TO meet at indianapolis next year. The
offer came at the end Of a weeks work
by the scale committee and its sub
committee. The miners made some
concessions. BY this proposition the
day laborers are advanced 12h per
cent and the drivers % per cent. While
the new scale signed is only for three
entire states and western Pennsyl-
vania it will be used as the basis in all
other states.
The operators say that on the above
basis the total increase in cost of coal
production in the United States will he

CONDEMNS THE UNION.
gucs before strike Commission
-Baer nm Attentive Listener.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE United
Mine Workers of America as an organ
ization was severely scored Tuesday
by counsel before the anthracite coal
commission. The nonunion men.
through their attorney, John Il. Lena
han, presented their side Of the contro-
versy and demanded consideration Mt
the hands of the commission, claiming
the legal right TO earn livelihood as
they might elect, without the consent
or die "a "a siQh of the union. During his
presentation Of the case Mr.. Lenahan
denounced the union as a somenter os
crime and anarchy. The maiGfeature
of his argument was the claim thai the
union had no legal or moral right 20
coeree miners into membership or to
arrogate TO itself the authority TO fix
the wages of mine workers.
James ii. Torrey, counsel for the
Delaware a. Hudson company, claimed
that the question of recognition of the
union was not an issue before the com
mission, but he devoted considerable
time 20 the consideration Of that de-
mand. lie asserted that violence and
intimidation were agencies selected
for the promotion of the purposes of
the mine workers. Regarding the de-
mand for an eight-hour working day,
Mr.. Torrey said the evidence showed
that for various reasons the breakers
did not average more than eight hours
day. so that the physical effects of
long hours were not felt.
Maj. Everett Warren, counsel for the
Hillside Coal a. Iron company and the
Pennsylvania Coal company, answered
the demands Of the miners in detail and
declared the socialistic theories OF the
union, or some OF its leaders, TO be re-
sponsiblc for unreasonable claims.
President Baer was an attentive listen
er 60 the arguments.

made TO save the cattle and seed for
the coming season, as seed imported
from other sections will not mature
in that far northern CLINE, and cattle
imported from more southern sections

tends for some 500 miles due north

cation IS by sleighs, making relief
measures more difficult than If rail

American cities are reporting heavy
daily increases in the relief fund.
