Spending a Million a Day on Roads

United States office Of public roads.
In telling Of the results of the great
campaign for good roads. seems ut
last to be thoroughly aroused to the
benefits derived from Investments In
improved highways"
In California the state has issued
$4,000. 900 in bonds with which to
build a system Of state highways.
This work. will begin during the pres
emit season. In the state of Connecti-
cut about $4,000. 900 will be expended
this year out of the state treasury
for trunk line and state aid roads.
OF the 5000. 900 bond issue recently
authorized in Maryland more than
81, ESQ, 900 will be available this year
for trunk line and state aid roads.
Massachusetts, will expend from state
revenues over 81. 000. 900 for the con-
struction and maintenance Of state
roads. 1t is expected that at least
5000. 900 will be expended on state
aid roads and ON trunk line systems
in the state Of New York, In addition
to $1,000 900 already raised by local
taxation. In 1910. thirty counties In
Ohio voted 81, 500, 900 in bonds to be
expended this year. Ohio will also
expend about 100000 from the state
revenues for road Improvement. In
Pennsylvania. the state-aid appropria-
ton will probably amount to over
81, 1000, 900. and a $4,000, 900 bond H.
sue is being considered. Various
counties in Tennessee will expend
i 800, 900 from bond issues. In Vir-
ginio. $500. 900 has been authorized
by various counties, to be expended
this year, while yer $250.000 has
been appropriated in the state Of
Wisconsin. in accordance with the
state aid system.

W AsHINGTON.-One million dol
" lars a day Ii the record that will
be established throughout the United
States as the expenditure for i'm
proving and maintaining public roads.
Never before in the history of the
country has there been such interest
In the improvement Of highways, and
with the legislatures Of the states ap-
propriating millions Of dollars for
this purpose. the good roads move
ment has received its greatest i'm
petus since the foundation of the re-
public.
The money that will be expended
ON the roads of this country during
the next six months will be more
than ever before in the same period
of time. In 1904 the total expendi-
ture for the construction and main
tanning Of roads and bridges in the
United States amounted to about
$50, 000, 900. but the expenditure for
this purpose in 1911 will aggregate
about $140, $50. 0OO. Exclusive of Sun
days and legal holidays. the outlay for
roads will amount to s 1000. 900 a day
during the present road building sea
son. This includes an moneys raised
BY local taxation, bond issue, state
appropriation and private subscrip-

Removable.

In the past few years. especially, the
people have become very familiar with
the doctrine of 'reasonableness" In
court decisions.
The power of regulation Of corpora
lions, fer example. is upheld by the
courts; but, with or without express
provision in the regulatory statutes,
the courts have uniformly ruled Of late
years that control Of rates or Of SER
vice must permit a reasonable profit.
They have even declared what are
reasonable profits In specific cases
as the six per cent. rule in the consoli-
dated gas case.
With this in mind, It would seem
that the recognition Of the rule of
reason" In constituting the Sherman
antitrust act Is hardly as unprecedent-
ed and revolutionary as some states
men appear to regard it. The whole
subject of the relation of courts to
statutes. to the constitution. to the po-
lice power Of the people, ETC., may pre-
sent q problem Of readjustment. But
there seems. at any rate. to have been
. quite consistent development or ex.
ercise Of judicial power along these
lines.
