THE "NATIONAL ROAD" TODAY

same general direction mile after mile;
sometimes four or five ascents and
decents can be seen ahead or behind,
but usually all in straight line" the
accuracy of which any other motorist
can easily prove.
While the Indian trails and Braddock's
road followed the lines ofleast resistance,
the National Turnpike leveled hills and
filled up the valleys IN that way crossing
Braddock's road several times between
Cumberland and Uniontown. Road
engineers have its location today prac-
tically beyond criticism throughout. The
bridges were all of stone, except for
the old covered wood bridges across the
Monongahela at Brownsville, Pa, which
was built by private enterprise and not
by the Government. Many of the old
signboards are still standing, though
the letters are growing dim from the
long exposure. While the surface OF
the road has been worn away in many
sections, the foundation work is I'M
usually good. There were always many
water-bars on the National road, but
they are growing less.
Taking up present conditions on diff
ferent sections of this great natural
throughfare between the East and the
West, we find the worst obstacles of all
between Hagerstown and Cumberland,
in Maryland, which is particularly I'M
fortunate, because it handicapS tourist

old road from either the East or the

expectation of State Highway Commits
sloner E. M. Bigelow to carry the work
along as rapidly as possible to the West
Virginia line. On both of the writer's
trips over that part of the route in West
Virginia the road was found in good
condition throughout. This brings US
to the Ohio river at Wheeling, and the
end of the mountain section. though the

Senator Brlstow wants decisions of
the Supreme Court reviewed by the
people, and for this purpose he has
reintroduced his amendment authorizing
Congress when the court declares a law
to be unconstitutional, to let the people
vote whether they want the decision of
the court or the act of Congress to
stand at the law
Innumerable requests have come to
Congressman to vote for protection on
articles produced by industries in their
districts, to which many replies have
been sent that the industries of this
country are strong enough to do bust

government.
BY the recent holding of the Supreme
Court, corporations which have leas-
ed their properties and only receive the
rentals, are not doing business within
the meaning of the law, and are not
subject to the tax.
This means that about a million
dollars already collected must be re-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial Corr. of The REPUBLICAN.l

washington, ~. u, April III, l9l IS
The first session of the Sixty-Third
Congress got under way promptly at
noon April 7th, in the special session
called by the President. The house
was called to order; and Champ Clark,
reelected Speaker. received POS votes,
while Representative Mann, Republi-
can, received Ill, Victor Murdoch,
Progressive. Is. Speaker Clark's son,
Bennett Clark, has been appointed
parliamentarian to assist his father.
The President announced that he
would read his message, and resolutions
were passed for joint session, not
however until Senators Lodge and
Williams had INDUCED in criticism, of
the innovation. But undaunted by the
criticism, President Wilson personally
read his message from the speakers
rostrum, calling upon Congress to apply
remedies, even though heroic, to cure
existing evils.
The revival of this old custom of
Washington and Adams created a
great sensation. The usual reading of
Presidents message is a most per-
functOry and embarrassing performance
AS printed copies of the message have
been furnished to Senators and Repre-
sentatives, they pay little or no atten
ton to its reading by the clerk. The
reception of Wilson'S message was
different. His presence gave dignity
and Importance to the occasion, and
the message was what it ought to be
an impressive inauguration, of the sea-
son.
The President has taken such an
active part in the new tariff bill in
conjunction with Chairman Underwood,
it has come to be called the Wilson,
Underwood bill. BY it, duties will be
slashed upon the necessaries of life
foodstuffs, clothing material, and prac-
ticallY everything that enters into the
establishment and maintenance of the
average home being placed on the free
list or materially reduced in duties.
There will be loss of about $50, 900, 600
in revenue to the government. To make
up this deficiency, the bill provides for
an income tax of per cent. on annual
earnings exceeding $4,000, called "a
normal tax" In addition, on incomes
from $50, 900 up. 'surtaX" of from
to percent is levied.
In addition to his activities in propos.
ed legislation, President Wilson has
expressed himself in favor of the open
caucus and says that he will advocate
it on every occasion. By throwing
caucuses open to the public the oppor-
tunitv for secret chickering's and trades
among the legislators is done away
with.
With the announcement OF the ratifica-
ton by Connecticut, the 36th State,
making three-fourths of all the States,
of the amendment authorizing the direct
election of Senators by the people, moth
ing remains to be done now except its

of public building at Keyser, w. Va,
