The Practice Of legislating on appropria-
ton bills has been universally condemned
by leaders OF all parties In both houses.
|Only occasionally. when necessary to
overcome obstructionary tactics of q
smaIi group. or when emergency de-
manded quick action. 10 II excusable.
The action of shackieford and his fol-
lowers. ID. In addition. direct violation
Of good faith with the members on both
sides OF the chamber who made II possi-
Bile for the Democrats to create the good
roads committee at time when de-
termined opposition from any source
would have made such action impossible.
The committee was created only upon the
pledge that the good roads movement
should not degenerate into q pork bar
rel' arrangement by which members of
Congress might finance their political
campaigns from the United States
Treasury.
Breach Of Good Faith.
1t is. in addition, q breach of good
faith with members Of his own commit
tee, who have worked shoulder to shoul-
der with Mr.. Shackleford, and who ex-
pected to have a part In the framing of
a well-balanced. statesmanlike policy of
road improvement that could be followed
for years.
The plan involved in the ShackIeford
bill is neither well considered nor evenly
balanced, nor does 1t necessitate CO.
operation by the States with the Federal
government in the maintenance Of good
roads. It provides a legal way whereby
the States may elect to take from the
United States Treasury IS. 100000 a year.
a SO long as this vast sum Is expended
ostensibly on road Improvement they win
be required to give no further accounting.
The Shackleford bill was introduced
Thursday last. and its provisions are al
most entirely unknown to the members
Of the House.
Contains Two Plans.
The Shackleford bill in the form 1t IL
intended to tack 1t on the postofhce ap-
preparation bill, contains two different
and distinct good roads plans, and per
mits the States involved to make their
choice Of these two.
The first plan provides for the joint
determination by2he Secretary Of Agri-
culture and a Representative OF the State,
as to how the money apportioned to each
State is to be utilized. The second plan
is that which the House tackled on the
postoffice appropriation bill last year, de-
fning three classes Of post roads accord
ing to their grading and composition. and
the Secretary of Agriculture
to pay so much per mile per year for
each class Of road utilized by rural mail
carriers.
The bill starts out by determining the
basis of apportionment of the SIS, ,00e. 900
between the States as follows:
'One-half in the proportion which the
total population OF such State bears to
the total population of all Of the States
as shown by the next preceding Federal
and one-half in the proportion
which the total number of miles of rural
post roads in use in such State bears to
the total number of miles of rural post
roads in use in all the State, as shown
by the report of the Postmaster General
at the close of the second quarter Of the
last preceding fiscal year"
