SENATORS FAVOR GOOD ROADS
Growing Belief That Government
Shouts Concern Itself With Con.
strue.icn cf Highways.

National roads come in for repeated
reference in the senate debate relat-
ing to the post Office appropriation
bill Il is eviden, that there is a
constantly growing belief that the
federal government before long
should concern Itself with the con.
struction Of trunk line roads. thus en-
couraging and making more con-
venient the great food Of interstate
travel
During the debate IN the senate
Senator Swanson Of Virginia made
this comment: We are now con-
fronted with the proposition whether
the federal government shall or shall
not extend aid for the development
improvement. and construction Of
highways. The time has arrived. or
will very soon arrive. when the peo-
pie @, the United States will demand
that the federal government shall ex-
tend proper aid. Whatever may be
the views Of some. IL is q question that
must be inevitably met, and one that
cannot be sEirked When a govern
nent comes TO extend aid for roa is
there are two ways by which II can
os done: Il can furnish the money
and construct the road itself. or IL
can aid. stimulate and lend induce
pent 20 the local authorities 20 do
the work Of road construction and
Improvement
Senator Hepburn Of Idaho believes:
"a
this class Of work Il should be for
the construction Of roads up TO the
standard OF the highest use. not all al
one time. but continuously and grad.
uslly not roads one part OF which
would be worn out before the other
was constructed. but a system of pro-
Eressive construction that would re-
suit within 2 reasonable time in a
system Of permanent good roads"
senstOr Williams OF Mississippi is
a contender for first class construc-
ton Said he, You must make one
road good, then you mus, make an
other good. and then a third and then
fourth. There must be some
scheme whereby they could be done
with fairness 10 the states and the
several sections Of the country"

sentenced to n year in the pen.
The wheat stealing occurred near

arrested them. hailed them before the
court and last night landed them here
in the pen. The ase of William Wood
