CONGRESSMAN CARL HAY
Den INTRODUCES GOOD
ROADS BILL
Congressman C. H. Tavenner)

ing to markets. Improved roads
from the farms to the villages
and towns and their railroad stat
ions will reduce costs of trans
portation and help bring down
the cost of living. The National
Grange and other farmers or
ganizations are urging the feder-
al government to adopt this sort
of a road policy. Business be-
fore pleasure" is the motto of
the farmers.
Taking Numerically opposite
view are the association of au-
tomobile owners. These would
have the government go into the
construction of trunk lines of
model highways. The cost would
be terrific, running literally into
the billions of dollars. 1t is the
theory of the adherents of nation
al highway system would lead
local communities to connect up
with the model roads, thus stim-
ulating the construction of good
roads everywhere.
Somewhere between these two
opposite views the governments
solution is likely to be found.
The Roads Com mittee of the
House is trying to formulate a
national policy of road building.
1t is generally understood that
between 20, 000,00 and $50, 900, :
900 annually can be expended Tor
this purpose. The bill that will
finally be adopted will probably
be compromise which will aid in
the construction of model roads
and at the same time pay atten-
ton the market roads of the farm
ers.
Congressman Carl Hayden, of
Arizona, has introduced a care
fully prepared roads bill that en-
bodies several admirable provis-
ions. The bill is frankly COM
promise between the two extreme
views on road construction by the
I government. The sum of $25, :
900, 1000 is appropriated annually,
one half of this amount to be ap-
portioned to the states according
to their representation in Con-
gress, and the other half accord
ing to their mileage of post roads.
This system would give an aut-
omatic apportionment and relieve
the roads movement from any
suspicion of logrolling.
The Hayden bill endeavors to
give uniformity to state institu-
tons which would deal with gov
ernment in the work of road con-
struction. The smallest appor-
tionment of money for any state
would be 100000 For every
dollar contributed by the federal
government the state must con-
tribute another. This double con-
tribution Mr.. Hayden believes
would safeguard the government
against the waste of it's money
by the state highway departments
since in order to waste the fed
eral funds the state contribution,
raised by direct taxation, would
rlso have to be wasted.
He would give the state com
plete control of the work, having
the government road scientists
act only in an advisory capacity.
In order to get money under the
terms of the Hayden bill, a state
J must first create a highway de
partment and raise a state road
fund. The bill also provides for
a uniform system of bookkeeping
to be devised by the Secretary OF
Agriculture and adopted by each
state. so that the federal auth
critics would have no difficulty in
finding out how it's money was
spent.
The Hayden bill has been favor
