is proposed by plan submitted by
Jonathan Bourne Jr, to the joint con-
gressional committee on federal aid in
the construction of post roads. Of which
Bourne Is chairman.
His plan contemplates that the bill
lion dollar construction fund shall be
apportioned among the states upon the
basis Of area. population, assessed valu-
alton and road mileage and that the
several states shall deposit in the
United States treasury their flfty-year
per cent bonds for the amount due
them and the government loan the
states the par value thereof for road
construction. the government raising
it's fund by the sale of Its fifty-year
non-taxable per cent bonds. BY
crediting each state every year with
the excess l per cent interest paid
by the state to the government over
what the government pays on Its bonds
and allowing 5 pr cent interest COM
pounded annually on said excess 1 per
cent. a sinking fund is established from
which the government pays OF the
bonds at the end Of fifty years and the
state Is relieved Of the payment OF
principal on It's bonds.
The government will also under this
plan. pay to each state annually for
road maintenance an amount equal to
per cont Of the amount Of bonds on
deposit. provided the state expends a
like amount for the same purpose.
The plan also provides Cor team work
between the states and federal govern
ment but avoids subservience Of the
state to any federal bureau or depart
ment. 1t suggests the establishment Of
a national school Of highway and bridge
engineering here In Washington so as
to create supply Of trained specialists
from whom the states could draw for
state and district engineers.

PROFITS TO POLITICS
New Haven Railroad Deal Explained
BY Prssidsnt Melisn-Stoeks Sold
and Profits Turned In to Aid PoIiti-
cal Campaign.

Boston. May 2.-President Mellen.
explaining the apparent profit made
by him Of 100000 by the sale OF the
New Haven stocks in 1904. told the In
terstate commerce commission today
that the money had been paid back to
him to reimburse him for contributions
to the republican campaign fund OF
that year.
President Mellen, Of the New Haven
railroad, appearing before the inter-
state commerce commission in his own
behalf, today gave an unexpected ex-
PLANTATION Of some Of the figures in the
New Havens books.
According to the government expert
accountant, G. d. Brown, there ap-
peared an apparent profit of 100000
made by Mr.. Mellen personally by
trading in the stock OF the railroad
company. The first thing that Mr.. Mel
len said when he took the stand was
that the money had been used in poll
tical contributions in 1904.
Fifty thousand dollars went to the
republican national campaign fund, ne
said, and other amounts to aid republ-
can state campaigns in New York.
Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
He made Enlightenment:
"The transactions by which 1885
shares of New Haven stock were sold
to me in March, 1904. and for which
gave my notes to the New England
Navigation Company. have been ques-
toned. This stock was treasury stock
and had to be listed on the stock ex-
change in order to be sold to the pub
lie. In order. to list it. it was sold to
me and I gave my notes to the COM
pany.. which held the stock as collateral
until sold:
"All these shares we're sold at the
best obtainahEv PRICES and the, entire
proceeds, with the dividends. paid to
the company's treasury. The company
received approximately 100000 more
than the price at which the stock was
sold.
1.-THE transaction was bona fide and
was made without any expectation
that any excess over the selling price
to me would be realized.
Between the time of the sale to me
and the closing of the transaction
had personally disbursed out Of my
own funds considerable amounts ex-
ceeding in the. aggregate the sum OF
100000.
These expenditures have made not
for my own purposes or in any way for
my personal advantage, but because
l was president of the road.
"At that time. 1904, corporate con-
tributions to campaign funds were
customary and not illegal"
