Congressional Committee.

An expenditure of $4,000. COOOOO for good
roads, 81 coo. 900 600 being for construction
and $2,OO0.O00,0c0 for maintenance, the
investment extending over a period of
fifty years. was proposed today in plan
submitted to the joint congressional COM
mittee of federal aid in the construction
of post roads by former Senator Bourne
of Oregon. Senator Bourne's plan pro-
vides for federal and state cooperation.
He also suggested the esta blishment of a
national school OF highway and brid Sc
engineering. from which trained special
lists IN road building would be supplied
to the various states.
Provides for State Apportionment.
The on-dollar construction fund, ac-
cording to Senator Bourne's plans would
DE apportioned among the states upon the
basis OF area, population. assessed valu-
alton and road mileage. The states
would be required to deposit in the United
States Treasury fifty-year per cent
bonds for the amount due them The
government would then loan the states

ton, the government raising its fund by
the sale of fifty-year non-taxable ) per

Plan for Sinking Fund.

BY crediting each state every year with
the excess l per cent interest paid on the
state bonds and allowing per cent inter-
est on the amount compounded annually
a sinking fund would be established it is

would pay off the bonds at the end of

BAN ON OPIUM TRAFFIC
SUSTAINED BY WILSON
Administration Declines to Re-
woke Order to American
Officials in China.

| President Wilson and Secretary Bryan
| have decided not to reverse the positive
| order which President Taft and Secretary
krox sent two weeks before they went
out of office to the American legation a,
Picking and to all America consuls in
China, to the effect that they must not
forward to the Chinese authorities any
petitions from bankers merchants or
others in regard to the seventy million
dollars worth of opium which is tied up
in Shanghai and other warehouses in
treaty ports.
Accumulation in Shanghai.
This opium. imported from India, has
been accommodating at Shanghai and
other treaty ports owing to the action
of Chinese provincial officials in eff
fectively preventing the retail sale OF
native and Indian opium in their prov
inces Not only does this stasnation in
the dope market indicate the loss of
so COo,OG0 United States currency. but it
also involves S5O.e00C0O United States
currency which foreign and Chinese banks
have advanced as loans, with the hitherto
profitable drug as security.
There is said to be reason to believe
that the British government. through its
minister at Picking. has been attempting
to press China to remove some OF thu
provincial restrictions where it seemed
tina; they were not in accord with the
