Can Underwood Explain?

Alabama instructs her delega-
ton to vote for Underwood sum
til a nomination for president
shall have been made" Will Mr..
Underwood please explain these
instructions? Were they given
with his consent or over his pro-
test? He owes his distinction to
Speaker Clark and yet he can not
help his benefactor. Clark might
be within few votes of nomi-
nation and yet Mr.. Underwood's
delegation is powerless to assist
him. Did Mr.. Underwood pur-
posely tie the hands of his dele
cation to keep them from support-
ling Clark?
Or was he afraid they would
support Wilson? Is his delegation
really against him? And was it
manacled so that it could not as
sist any one to whom Underwood
is opposed? Or were his people
afraid to trust him? Did they
adopt the instruction to keep him
from turning the delegation over
to Harmon?
Il Here are three questions and
| The Commoner indorses the third.
Mr.. Underwood may have favored
such instruction either to have ar
excuse for not giving the delega-
ton to Clark or to keep it from
going to Wilson, but it is more

that the cost of living is directly
related to the good roads problem.
When the highways are poor it
costs the farmer more to move his
products, with the result that the
city dweller has to pay more.
This represents a dead waste, in
asmuch as the farmer gets none
of the increased prices that are
paid for his products. The profit
is simply swallowed up in the
high cost of transportation over
poor roads.

Washington Correspondence
BY CLYDE H. TAyENNER.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-"We
favor federal aid to state and local
authorities in the construction
and maintenance of post roads,"
This was one of the planks in
the platform adopted by the ma
tional Democratic party at the
convention in Denver. The DEM
ocratic House of Representatives,
in further proof that the party be-
lieves in giving the people after
the election what it promised to
give them before election, has
passed the Shackleford amend
ment to the Post office appropfia-
ton bill. This amendment pro-
poses an expenditure of an esti-
mated sum of from ten to eigh-
teen milton dollars annually for
the construction and improvement
of the nations roads.
The principle on which tits pro-
posed to spend this money is
based on compensation to be paid
by the Federal Government for the
use of roads traversed by carriers
in the rural free delivery service,
and is divided into three classes,
as follows:
Glass "A"-The highest form OF
improved road in the country, fol
which it is proposed to pay S2t
per mile per year.
Glass "B',--A thoroughfare oi
high q quality, but not equal te
Glass A, for which 1t is proposed
to pay $40 per mile per year.
Glass "C"-The ordinary dir
road Of the country somewhat i'm.
proved, for which it is proposed tt
pay S15 per mile per year.
When the Democrats in session
at Denver adopted the good road
plank they took the first real stel
toward givingexpression to q sen
timent that has been CROWN,
rapidly throughout the country
For many years the people wht
live in the farming communities
and in the smaller towns, have
felt that too much of the publ
money was being spent in th
cities and that government woul,
get a larger return for expendi
lures made on good roads. In th
last ten years, say those VIII
ought to know, fully 80 per cent
Of the public revenue has beei
spent in cities, Notwithstanding
the fact that the people OF tn
country have furnished more thal
half Of all the money collected b,
the government.
A quarter Off century ago th
proportion or rural population q
compared to that Of the cities wa
about so per cent. It. is now les
than 40 per cent. This is an alb
normal falling off, and shows ths
people are "getting away" frol
the farms. Many Of the Demo
cratic leaders In Congress al
tribute this falling off, in part,
least, to the isolation dueAto poi
roads.
