Will Urge Good Roads.

Among the notable national gather
ings which will come to Washington
this year is the good roads convention
of the American Automobile AssoSia-
ton. 1t viii bring a great number Of
delegates from every State in the
Union, appointed by governors, cham
.bers of commerce, the American Au-
tomobile Association, and the Farmers
Union, all much interested in the de-
velopment Of better roads throughout
the country. The central idea of the
convention is the extension of good
highways to advance the use of the au-
tomobile, but the other idea of con-
structing better roads as a means of
transporting farm produce to market
at less cost is a close second.
This association viii discuss the ex-
tension of highways from the national
standpoint, and one of the principal
objects of the gathering is to consider
the bearing of Federal law on the sub
ject and furtherance of practical plan
to enlist government aid in highway
construction With this end in view,
every phase of Federal law relating to
the subject will be considered Changes
in such laws are contemplated by the
convention and the possibilities of en-
acting a comprehensive statute, with
its objections and weaknesses, will be
discussed 1t is the hope of the dele
gates that before the end Of the meet
ing some workable plan may be devised
that shall be simple and practicable for
using public money to build national
roads for the direct development of
transportation facilities for the nation.
The delegates hold that the question of
building national highways has now
ranged itself beside river and harbor
Improvement and the construction of
the Panama Canal as a Federal project
As proof of the relevance of this
view. the use of the highways for the
rural mail delivery, for the transporta-
ton and movement of troops, and the
necessity for decreasing the cost of liv-
ing by getting the products of the farm
more eheaply to market are cited 1t
is clear that the subject of the extern
sion Of good roads viii inject itself into
the platforms of both political parties in
the coming Presidential campaign, and
that it is for that reason a national and
a political question.
No doubt the tapping of the United
States Treasury TO provide funds for
road construction will be bitterly op-
posed by many in and out of Congress,
but no possible harm can come from a
serious and broad-minded discussion of
the matter in such gatherings as that
which will convene to-day

Panama Canal Rates.

Hearings beginning to-day before the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce viii be devoted to
consideration Of legislation relative to
the Panama Canal First the commit
tee will frame a measure providing a
permanent government for the Canal
Zone, and then the important question
of rates for traffic through the canal
will be taken up. The last subject is
the one which will attract greatest in
terest and bring to Washington many
persons to be heard with reference to
free tolls, as against graded charges
affecting the shipping of the world.
The legislation TO be enacted is basic
and is possibly the most important that
has fallen to the lot of Congress within
a generation. No mistake must be made
by hasty or ill-considered laws, that
will have to be repealed when the canal
has been in operation for year or two.
Congress is called upon in this instance
to exercise not only wisdom but pre-
science in the framing of legislation,
which, like the Constitution, shall be
the basic law for the operation of the
canal for many years to come.
Upon the question of free canal, as
opposed to one where fair rates are
charged for traffic, opinion is widely
divided, and on both sides much fact
and argument win be placed before the
committee to influence its course. 1t
is understood to be the idea of the ad-
ministration that American shipping
shall use the canal free of charge, and
the Pacific Coast is pretty nearly unit
in this view. Others hold that the canal
should be free TO the shipping of the
world. A majority probably inclines to
the notion that reasonable charges
should prevail, to afford revenues for
the maintenance and repair of the
waterway, and not to say to recoup the
government for some of its outlay in
constructing the canal.
The committee must steer between
these views of the situation, and the
task viii not be an easy one
