France has National Highways.
These are immense trunk line roads.

To build such system complete

1t is universal experience that one
mile of good road breed another mile.
Put a statewide, good road down any
where in this country, and in ten years
there viii be dozens of good roads

Put down a system of National High
ways, built and maintained by the Ma

State Legislatures and County Offic-
ials would soon see the advantages OF
connecting all parts of the State with
those National roads.
There are two million miles of roads
in the United States. The fifty thous-
and miles suggested for the first inn

SHALL UNCLE SAM HELP
IN BUILDING UP ROADS?

1t is a question which is slowly but
surely forcing itself upon the National
Legislature. Many Senators and Rep
resentatives now believe that the
building of a system of National High
ways is of more economic Importance
than any other public work-more
vital than the question of large
navy, more useful than any river and
harbor improvement, more necessary
than the Panama Canal For High
ways are built and owned by the peo-
pie and are free to all the people. A
few years ago road bills had short
shrift in Congress-at present there
are nearly hundred bills before
Congress dealing with road building
in one form or another.
Although the good roads" idea has
been gathering force and Roadway for
many years, its advocates are stin
pulling in many directions. Some road
associations want State Highways with
National Aid. Others want State High
ways without National Aid. Still 9th
ers want good roads paid for by the
counties through which they pass,
without any aid One, at least, be-
lieves firmly that the question is not
only one for State, Counties, Cities
and Towns, but for the Nation.
The National Highway Association
believes that the beginning of a COM
prehensive good road system for the
Nation must be made by the Federal
Government.

Another feature of the conference was
the strong plea made by Mrs. Daisy

that since the women bore the greater

they ought to receive more encourag ge-

opened by devotions, led by the Rev. A.

on Friday, was recalled and a vigorous
discussion held over some phases of the
report, participated in by the Rev. T..

The deed of Starks chapel, Kingston,
was submitted to the conference, and
was found to be satisfactory in every
respect. Mrs. Dorothy II. Greene in

M'CORD ANNOUNCES
FOR REELECTION
Favors Exchanging of Ad-

Mileage

Montgomery, November 22.-(Special.) }
Leon McCord of Albertvile is a candi-
date for reelection as a member of the
Alabama railroad commission. With his
announcement today was a declaration of
principles which included statements that
he believed public service corporations
should be under the control of the COM
mission, that newspapers should be al
lowed to exchange advertising space for
mileage and that sheriffs and Confederate
soldiers should be given free transporta-
ton.
Other candidates for railroad commits
sioners to fill the two positions now held
by Mr. McCord and Frank n. Julian are
Mr.. Julian and b. II. Cooper of Bir-
mingham.
In his announcement Mr.. McCord said
he would stand on his record as a COM
missioner, that he was preparing a bill
to be presented at the next session of
the legislature which would place street
railways electric lighting plants, gas
plants and other public service corpora
tions under the commissioners jurisdic-
ton, that the laws should be amended so
the commission could require common
carriers to pull mileage on trains and
that mileague should be used in paying
excess baggage rates.
II favor the extension to sheriffs of this
state transportation by the railroads when
engaged in apprehending criminals with
in the state" said Commissioner McCord
"and l think the anti-pass laws should
be amended so as to permit Confederate
veterans to have free transportation when
going to and from reunions"
