FOR NATIONAL AID.
Col. Brovnlow Talks About His Road
Bill Which He Has RcintrO-
duced in House.

Congressman w. P. Brownlow, of Ten
nessee. has introduced in the house his
well-known roads bill Acting on the
criticisms of opponents and the sugges-
tions Of friends, Col Brownlow has re-
yised the bill somewhat, but all impor-
tant features have been preserved The
new bill appropriates $24,000,0O0 to be
used as fund for national aid in the
Improvement of highways. This sum &,
made available during the next three
years, at rate of So 100000 annually.
No state or subdivision thereof can Sc
cure any part of this fund without rails
ing an amount equal to the share re-
ceived The distribution among the
several states and territories is to be
made on an equitable basis so as to leave
no room for log rolling" In reference
to the bill, Col. Brownlow said"the othe-
day:
II think my good. roads measure has
made wonderful progress during the
past year. Conventions all over the
country have Endorsed it, and number
OF state legislatures have adopted reso-
/ utlOuo III ldNOI Ul II. Inc NUMBER or
public men who have come out for ii has
exceeded my highest expectations. In
the west and south the sentiment for
the bill is especially strong. A large
Of senators and members from
those sections have assured me of thei:
Willingness to support the measure,
and it will also have some strong sup
port from the eastern states, where
state aid has paved the way for nation
al aid. l can't see how any man repre-
senting rural constituency can vote
for river and harbor bill and refuse to
vote for my bill. And don 'tsee howany-
one who wants the rural free mail deltv-
cry extended in his state or district can
refuse to support measure to aid in i'm
proving the roads, for bad roads are al
most the sole obstacle to such extern
sions. l am hopeful of getting the bill
up for discussion in the house early in
the regular session."
