MORE GOOD ROADS WANTED
Congressman Frsnch's Proposai fer
the Expenditure Of @2ooyooo,ooo In
Five Years Meets Approval.

The proposal that the government
spend $20,000,0 900 a year for five
wears and the states q like sum in
building new roads, offered by Rep
resentative French of Idaho, will
find general favor. Sooner or later
we must abandon III present ram
dom and. systemless building of
roads and substitute for it a definite
plan. Why not start in now?
The plan of Mr.. French seems EN-
inently fair, and the total sum
5000, O00. 000-while of course insult
ficient for the entire country, would
give satisfying results Nothing
would give a more decided impetus
to the "See-America-Firs move
ment, and nothing would give the
people of the country broader views.
Today few people travel except in a
restricted local zone. but with good
roads and the use of automobiles be-
coming more general every day, the
east and west could be more neigh
borlv, while the north and south
could hobnob with each other. Mr..
French's proposal should receive the
serious consideration of congress
