GOVERNMENT AID FOR ROADS
Committee Of Congress Expected to
Make Favorable Report on
Highways Measure.

The question OF federal aid for good
roads looms large. A Joint committed
OF the senate and house, with Senator
Bourne, Oregon (the father OF the
parcel post bilD chairman, is now in
vestigating the entire subject with
every likelihood of report being sub
mitted favorable to the general pro
1ect. The main subject under inves-
tigation at present is the manner in
which federal aid when finally forth.
coming shall be distributed, whether
to the states according to their popu-
lation, their area or the mileage of
their highways. In a recent magazine
article Senator Bourne expressed him
self as favorable to a plan which
shall combine all three of these ele-
ments, inasmuch as 1t would not be
fair to grant more aid to Rhode Island,
for instance, than to Iowa, although
the population of the former state is
much larger than that OF the latter;
or more aid to Nevada, for instance,
than to Nebraska, although the former
state is much larger in area than the
latter; or to some state which has
already solved the good roads prob
lem by thousands of miles of good
roads, leaving a state with impossible
highways suffering because of lack of
the necessary aid.
With federal and and state aid both
imminent, an impetus is being given
to road building greater than ever
before. The statement is made that
$5OO,00O a day is being spent for good
roads in this country, but the general
Of opinion is that until
within the last year or two results
with this immense ex-
penditure have not been secured.
There is feeling all over the country
that road building must be made as
systematic and as scientific as rail-
road building, hence the movement
'or a state highway commission with
Dlenary powers and scientific super
Vision by expert engineers. Congress !
has already appropriated 100000, to |
De distributed $4,000 to each state, |
or Improvement of stretches of road |
'Ver which rural free deliveries |
operate regularly. The results of /
his appropriation will go long way
o show whether or not the federal
government will be justified in max
ng still greater appropriations and in
'oing still more extensively into this
important subject. The secretary of
grlculture and the postmaster-gen-
raj have both been ordered to loan
heir influence to the Investigation, to
ne end that actual facts may be Sc
ured SO that road building may be
arried ON in a practical manner.
