1t is the proper enc. OF government
to reduce this wretched waste of labor
to the smallest possible compass. sd
that the powers Of nature and the
labOrs of man may he made to yield
the highest degree of physical and
moral good.
Looked at from this point of view.
it is a question of more vital I'M
portance to the people of the country
than any other 10Y entering into the
policies of the W great parties.
How shall we secure good roads:
How shall we save the immense sun
now being worse than wasted? Mani
testify it will require a great outlay to
make good roads. but the outlay will
not be greater than we are now paying
without receiving any benefits what
ever. Take the amount we o pay
by reason of bad roads and apply 1t
to the building of good ones. and We
will have an investment that
WILL YIELD GREATER RETURNS
to the many than any other that can
be made. This improvement OF our
roads ought to be done by the States,
by the counties. by the districts. by
individuals. by the General Govern
ment or by the united action of several
or all Of these agencies. If this work
is to be done by appropriations OF
legislatures. these appropriations
must be made on a liberal scale.
Some counties and States levy a few
cents on the hundred dollars, about
enough to pay the salaries OF the
officers intrusted with the management
of the fund. A certain number OF
days work is also levied. running
from five to eight. and those upon
whom this tax of labor is levied
usually have the least interest in the
betterment of the roads and work in
a perfunctOry manner. so as to dis
charge as easily as possible the obi
cation.
Government aid in the building of
our highways will be of more benefit
to the country than the building of

600. 900 have been appropriated. 1t
will be of more benefit than the inn
prOvement of III navigable streams.
and will be more helpful to the great
body of our producers than any other
one thing that can be done.
This question of national aid to
roads is not a new me-. 1t is older
than the Constitution itself. ApprO-
priations were made for the building
of roadways before the organization
of the Government. Such apprOpria-
tions have the sanction of precedent
and the unquestioned sanction OF the
Constitution. The Ninth Congress
made an appropriation of $4,000 fol
the Cumberland road. and this bill
was signed by President Jefferson or
March %. 1903. This road. began al
the headwaters of the Potomac, in the
State of Maryland. passed through a
portion of Pennsylvania and what is
now West Virginia. on to the State OF
Ohio. About 81. ZOO, 600 were apprO.
priated by Congress from time to
time for building this road. Henr!

Clay. James Madison. John G.. Cal
hOun and all the leading statesmen of
that day recognized the necessity and
admitted the constitutional authority
for mailing such appropriations.
The Cumberland road is not the
only one for which money was apprO-
priated by Congress. There were
fifteen roads altogether that were laid
out by the Government after the Cum
berland road was projected, costing
in the aggregate Sl4, OOO, 900. ApprO-
priatiOns for this purpose were made
all along down to the beginning of
the Civil War. From 1854 to 1861
81. 500. 900 were laid out on public
roads. chiefly in the territories, and
after the war. in 1863. $4,000 were
appropriated to roads in different
portions OF the territories. Even now
annual appropriations of from &c.,
900 to Sl5. 200 are made for cOnstruc-
ton and repair of cemetery roads.
President Jackson vetoed a bill in
1880 authorizing the Government to
make a subscription to a turnpike
company in Kentucky. President Jack
sons objection to it was that Con
gress had power to appropriate money
for national objects only. and that the
measure was local in its purposes. He
was personally friendly to internal
Improvement: he believed that the
Government could act in that Girec-
ton. but he thought it inexpedient
until the national debt vas paid off.
Instead of making direct appropria-
tiOns for the roads he thought it best
to make appropriations to the sew
eral States in proportion to their
representation in Congress for inter-
nal improvements. This, in effect, is
the substance of the BrOwnlOw bill.
MIR. Calhoun. in 1917. introduced a
bill in the lower House of Congress to
set aside. for the building of public
roads and canals. the dividends re-
ceived and 10 be received by the
United States from the national bank.
The
ARGUMENTS PRESENTED BY
MIR. CALHOUN
in support of this bill are still power
full and applicable to the present con-
dition of the roads in the United
States. He said:
The manner in which facility and
cheapness of intercourse add to the
wealth of a nation has been so often
and ably discussed by writer's on
political economy that l presume the
House to be perfectly acquainted with
the subject. 1t is sufficient 0 observe
that every branch of national indus
try-agricultural, manufacturing and
commercials stimulated and rem
dered by it more productive. The
result is to ditfuse universal Opulence.
1t gives to the interior the advantages
possessed by the parts most eligibly
situated for trade. 1t makes the
country's price, whether in the sale
of the ray product or in the purchase
of the articles for consumption, APP
proximate to that of commercial
towns. In fact. if we look into the
nature of wealth we find that nothing
can be more favorable to its growth
than good roads and canals
