President Taft, in his address last
night in New York before the Auto
mobile Club of America, very wisely
advised caution and careful considera-
ton before embarking upon a program
Of national road building. He does
not doubt that the government has the
authority to expend money in the con-
struction of highways, but he questions
the wisdom Of using federal funds for
such improvements. It is a dangerous
experiment, he commended, and one that
should not be undertaken hastily. He
believes the state and neighborhood
acting as unit are the proper sources
to look to for the building and main
tenance Of the needed highways.
The idea of having the government
build good roads Is popular with many

have not taken the trouble to consider

THE MILEAGE GRAFT"

At least half of the twenty cents per
mile allowed members of congress for
mileage is graft. When the 90 cent
rate was adopted it was not uncommon
for members of congress to travel nun
dreds of miles by stage and private
conveyance to reach Washington. Such
travel was very expensive and the
traveller was compelled to pay a goodly
portion of his mileage fee for meals
and lodging. Now the situation is en-
tirely different. Ten cents per mile for
mileage is ample and the allowance
should be cut to that point. at least.
Graft must go, wherever found.
