Secretary Wilson. OF the Department
Of Agriculture, has just received Pc
tition signed by eight American dele
gates, who attended the recent interna-
/ uional road congress at Brussels. request
/ ing that his department consider the ad-
visibility OF the United States government
becoming a member of the Permanent
international Association of Road Con-
crosses.
/ The Office OF public roads is q part OF
the Department OF Agriculture, and for
this reason the matter was put up TO the
! Secretary for his consideration.
Nation Behind Times.
The special significance OF the petition
/ is that ii discloses the fact that the
United States, which has the most ex-
tensive system of roads OF any country
In the world, has been one Of the three
slowest nations to join the international
Road Association. now formally adhered
70 by tWenty-six governments.
Italy and England are the only other
large countries which have not Joined
and it is probable that one or both OF
these governments will have approved
before next years meeting OF the In
ternatlonai Road Congress. The asso-
citation was founded IN 1908, and its work
is similar TO that of the Permanent Inter
national Bureau of Navigation. OF which
the United States government is a MEM
Der, and 10 which Congress last year
appropriated $4,000, outside OF the an
nual dues OF $1,000. TO be used next year
when the annual meeting of the asso-
citation viii be held in this country.
The highest annual dues paid by any
government now a member OF the In
ternational Association of Road Con-
gresses is 5000. The dues OF the or
ganization vary in accordance with the
ability OF the governments to pay.
Membership in the association entities
a government 10 be represented on the
international commission by one MEM
Der for each 500 OF annual dues. This
commission controls all the activities OF
the congress. The association has an in
ternational laboratory OF tests and a
library, and gathers, digests. and distrib-
utes information concerning the prob
ltillS OF ulDueIn highway engineering
The American delegates 10 the interna-
tional congress at Brussels the first week
Of last August agreed that Il would be
highly desirable that this government be
represented on the international perma-
nent commission. which advantage can
only be secured by the United States
becoming a member Of the international
association.
They are still hopeful that IL will be
possible TO bring the next international
congress TO the United States. but this
cannot be done until the government
officially manifests an interest in the
association and becomes a member.
The signers OF the petition say that
the considerable influence that would
come from a direct connection with the
work OF the commission would result not
only in the saving OF time and expense
by the avoidance OF the duplication or
tests in the future, but in the great ad-
vantage of collaboration with the road
builders and administrators OF the other
twenty-slx governments In the associ-

Europe Much Ahead.

The nations Of Europe have gone
long way ahead OF the United States in
road work. particularly in the matter OF
administration and road maintenance.
and experts say that for this reason this
country will benefit immensely in the
advantage OF collaboration made possible
by membership in the international con-
gress. France, for instance. with its al
most perfect system Of roads, sends one
and one-third times as much freight over
her public highways as is carried by the
railroads.
The freight traffic on the roads Of other
European countries is almost as heavy,
In this country conditions are reversed.
and IL is estimated that the railroads
carry nearly four times as much freight
as the public roads. Yet railroad devel-
opment depends, engineers say, on the
good roads, which open up and make
accessible the country adjacent TO the
lines.
The Department Of Agriculture now has
the petition under consideration. and If
approval is given Congress win be asked
this coming winter for the small apprO-
priatIon necessary for this countrys
dues. The signers OF the petition are

NEW BRIDGE OVER

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 1.-THE new
Mckinley bridge, the largest bridge
spanning the Mississippi river, was for
merly dedicated today with imposing
ceremonies, Governor Hadley of Mis-

We're the central figures in the exer-

Mayor Kreismann of st. Louis and the
mayors of numerous small cities on
the Illinois side of the river and rep
resentatiyes of many commercial or
CARNATIONS. Speech making, parades
and fireworks were features of the
dedication program.
The new bridge was constructed at
a cost of 100000 by the Mckinley
traction interests, controlling large in
terurban railway lines throughout this
section. The structure commands at
tention not only because of the enor-
nous outlay required to bridge the
Mississippi river. but because It is al

Trade and travel between st. Louis
and the great industrial districts on
the other side of the river has been
handicapped for many years by the So
called bridge monopoly. In 1906 the
people voted almost unanimously in
favor of an issue of s3,500.0O0 bonds
to erect a municipal bridge. The de-
signs were made and accepted by the
committee in charge. but Congressman
w. B. Mckinley and his associates of
the Illinois Traction company anti
cipated the city officials and broke the
monopoly by constructing the great
bridge which had its formal opening
today.
The franchise by which the Illinois
Traction company was permitted to
build the bridge and its double-track
business district, thus making possible
through interurban service and cleo
trio freight and express service, does
not permit any arbitrary charge for
bridge traffic. The direct revenues
from the bridge, therefore, must come
