WORK..
PROMISES TO INTERFERE WITH
PORK BARREL MANIPULAToRs
Legislation for Good Roads Likely to
Take Away Money From Rivers and
Harbors and Public Buildings Ap-

Places on New Committee.
1specia, Correspond ence.1


Washin gton, May 24.-Believers in
federal aid to the cause of good roads
are greatly encouraged over the fact
that a good roads committee is to be
formed in this congress. When the
house committees are announced, as
they will be by Leader Underwood
about June 1, the good roads commit
toe nersonnel will be among them.
This committee promises to be one
of the foremost of the house for some
time to come and to be much IN .he
limelieht For some days, there mas
been lot of pulling and hauling unoel
the surface to get places on the sood
roads committee.
Awakening Is Marked.
The awakening of interest on the
subject Of good roads is so marked III
most of the states that scores OF mem :
bers of the house would like to nave
finger in the business OF Shaping up
highways legislation. Hitherto, the
subject has been considered in an m
cidental sort of way by the posto1lice
committee Now. with great COM
mittee on good roads created 1t VIII De
gone into by that body in exhaustive
fashion and will no doubt receive more
enlightened attention from the house
than it has ever received before.
The committee will undoubtedly take
prompt steps for comprehensive STUDY
of the good roads problem. And while
there are many public men VINO con-
tend that federal aid to road making
would be great mistake and "oulo
lead to riot Of extravaganza and that
it would be much better left to the
states. here are few members OF con-
gress who are not interested In the
subject and glad to have a committee
established to have jurisdiction OF IT.
Moreover, there are distinct signs that
this congress is going to embark IN
legislation for federal aid to good roads
on large scale. The strong demand
for 1t from the south is one OF the
factors which will influence a demo-
cratic congress to such decision.
Pork Barrel Msnaced.
To an extent. the rivers and harbors
committee and the public buildings
committee will be put on the defensive
by the supporters OF federal aid for
good roads. 1t will be argued that the
government has for years expended
money lavishly on rivers and harbors
and public buildings. projects which
have done good only in limited areas;
that now the time has come to expend
money for the benefit Of the farmers
and all that part of the public that
uses the roads. OF course. the automo-
bile influences will back the good roads
movement to the utmost. In fact. OPP
ponents of federal aid will argue that
down at bottom the good roads move
ment and especially the plan OF fed
eral road building is In the interest OF
the automobile users and manufactur-
ers In any event. the creation of the
new committee insures fuller consider
alton in congress than the subject has
ever before had The interest aroused
in the Bourne plan for financing road
building indicates the extent the public
is thinking about it.

DELAY TARIFF BILL.
Senate Sub Committees Strike Snass
In HEARINGS.


In Hearings.
Washington. May 24.-Senate SUBJ
committees have struck srags that al
ready assure delay in the progress to
hasten the tariff bill to consideration
in the senate.
Charmen Of the subcommittee said
today that altho no more manufactur-
ers would be. heard after Tuesday, it
would be impossible to have the sched-
ules ready for the entire committee by
the end of next week.
Some increases of the Underwood
rates in the cotton schedules are being
contemplated by the subcommittee.
1t now seems unlikely that the demo-
cratic caucus will be called until the
week Of June s. and that may delay
report of the bill to the senate until the
middle of June.
