stay sold. and sell another TO a new

policy goes with each Jack Rab-

GOOD ROADS A
VITAL SUBJECT

National participation In high
ways progress is thing which
commands increasing attention
Former President Taft gave the
subject prominence In his current
weekly lecture at Yale university.
and in voicing opposition TO federal
post roads had the following TO
say:
The evils OF pork barrel legisla-
ton, with the mad chase for good
roads money, are 'argely caused by
pseudo reformers inspired by a
feeling that they want TO take from
those who have and give TO those
who haven't. The same objection
applies TO reclamation OF swamp
lands by the government. whereby
localities benefit unduly at the
expense OF the whole people"
1T would appear that the former
head OF tho nation has not given
the good roads question the thor.
ough consideration which n de-
serves" comments Chairman
George c. Diehl. of the A. A. A.
National Good Roads Board. "or
he would not have so plainly IN
vited a reply TO his conclusions on
matter which now so vitality con-
Germs the whole country.
THE cooperation OF the federal
government in the construction OF
main highways should stand upon
the same basis as the Improvement
OF rivers and harbors, the drainage
and reclamation OF swamp lands.
the irrigation OF arid lands. and the
conservation OF natural resources.
There is no more reason. when
modern traffic is considered. for
deepening the channel of the Mis-
sissippi river at public expense
than for building through highways
across the states leading 10 that
stream. II Is 10 be presumed that
the money expended for the i'm
provement OF rivers and harbors is
spent In an effort to benefit CON-
merce generally. instead OF simply
adding to the wealth and impor-
lance OF a local community, which
Is certainly one of the results
achieved.
The reclamation OF arid lands
and the drainage of great swamps
would seem TO be Identical propo-
sitions. yet some statesmen advo-
cate the one and condemn the
other. From the broad standpoint
of extending benefits to the whole
people at public expense II is diff
cult TO determine where any differ
ence can exist. In both cases local
communities In close proximity to
the reclaimed area receive the
most direct benefit, while the
greater benefits accruing from
greater and better production. and
the creation OF new values. reach
throughout the entire country, and
stimulate the development of lesser
operations In the same lines by
local authorities.
