A regularly as the sessions roll
"A around, congress sidesteps, smoth-
Yrs or overrides all propositions which
would embark the government in the
business of road building. The logic
and importance in the outcry for
"goodroads" is universally admitted:
but everybody's business comes peril
ously near having nobody's attention.
some communities, townships, coun-
ties and few states have made more
or less real progress towards improv-
ing the highways locally. Where the
states take hand beginning is made
towards obtaining through routes"
But, despite all that has been said for
a revival of road building, notwith-
standing editorial support from publ
cations Of all partisan shades, the
movement as yet has no central Or
ganization which presses the work
along broad uu4s.
The federal government thus far CO.
operates only by giving advice. 1t
maintains small bureau in the de-
partment of agriculture devoted first
to the propaganda of the good roads
idea and secondly to the maintenance
of limited corps Of experts, who,
when their assistance is solicited, will
make suggestions as to the best meth
DDS for road building under given cir
cumstances. and to a certain extent,

wv SH1NGTON-The Indications be-
w ing that the census will show the
population of the United States to be
over 90,000,00O, it seems assured that
the republic contains more than half
of the Inhabitants of the New World
1t is quite probable that all of the re-
naming countries of this hemisphere
have fewer than so.ooo.ooo inhabi-
tants.
That point can never be settled def
nitely until conditions change radi-
cally In many extensive regions of
Latin America. Now most of tho
states south of Mexico and NORTH
the Argentine either make a farce Of
their census taking or else do not at
tempt it at any time.
Recent estimates, partly based upon
census records, which have been
made in South America and Central
America, indicate that there are about
7O,Oo0,0OO people living between the
Rio Grande and Cape Horn, including
the West indies. Canada has per-
haps 100000, allowing for rapid
growth since the census of 1901, and
Newfoundland adds less than 100000.

most intelligently made, are very wide

respects the Argentine surpasses Mex

Gives No Money for Road Building

experiments in the use Of materials
are conducted by the specialists OF
this bureau. Here the government
stops, for the reason that dominant
view In congress has been that this
properly delim1ts the governments
function.
Representative Anthony Of Kansas
introduced bill in the house last win
ter for the construction of military
highway between Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley, 100 miles, by convicts
In the two federal penitentiaries at
Fort Leavenworth. The bill was lost
after q debate that developed into
general discussion of the good roads
movement.
The measure had the Endorsement OF
President Taft, the chief Of staff OF
the army and the quartermaster gen
eral. General J. Franklin Bell, then
chief of staff, stated In letter to Rep
resentative Anthony that the proposed
road would unquestionably be Of
great military value and convenience.
Farmers of many townships through
which the proposed road would run
offered to supply all the rock and
other material to be used in its con-
struction. !
Like others Of its kind, this meas
ure was wrecked upon constitutional
rocks. The opponents Of the bill con-
tended that General Bell did not claim
the road to be a military necessity,
and that, if not done for this purpose,
the government could not build it, be-
cause the constitution authorizes the
construction of only such roads as arc
required to meet military necessities
and post roads.
