FARM ROADS AND SPEEDWAYS
Government More Interested In Bene-
filing Farmer Than Improving
Highways for Automobiles.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture gave his hearers
at the recent good roads convention
in Detroit a sensible talk on road
building in general and government
aid in particular. He declared that
the government, so far as he is its
mouthpiece and connected with it's OPP
erations, is more interested in improv-
ing the truly rural roads of the coun-
try Chose over which farm produce
is hauled to market) than it is in i'm
proving the transcontinental highways
which are mainly used by automobile
tourists. He also asserted that If gov
eminent aid is forthcoming 1t will be
on the basis of state apportionment,
rather than congressional district or
county or road district. Secretary
Houston's speech is such clear ex-
position of the intentions Of the pres
ent administration that we take
considerable extract from it.:
The essential thing to be done is
the providing of good roads which
shall get products from the commu
nifty farms to the nearest station and
make rural life more profitable, COM
Portable and pleasurable.
There are complex problems to be
solved in many states before the most
efficient expenditure of money by
states and communities for roads can
be secured, and there are many more

to be worked out before one can ra'
tionally expect the federal government
largely to participate.
That the suggestion of federal aid
to road building raises grave ques.
tons and involves possible dangers
no thoughtful citizen doubts There
are proposals before the public mind
which would bankrupt the federal
treasury and suggest possible abuses
before which those of the worst pork.
barrel bills of the past would pale into
insignifcance.
1t would be especially pernicious II
such aid should result in sitting the
spirit of local self-help.
The first practical essentials in the
planning Of road legislation would
seem to be to recognize the states as
the smallest unit with which the fed
eral government might deal. This
would give relief in a measure from
the insistent demand that would come
from every township and every dis
trict in the Union for its share of state
or federal assistance, without refer
ence to the merits of the case or the
practicability Of the undertaking.
In the case of roads on which fed.
eral money is to be expended it would
seem essential and wise that the fed
eral agency should have the requisite
power of the approval of the selec-
ton, supervision of the construction
and maintenance, and the right of in
gpection.
1t is reasonably clear that for every
reason there must be some automatic
check upon the demands to be made
upon congress and that this should be
afforded through the requirement that
the states and the localities should
contribute an amount both for con-
struction and maintenance at least
equal to and possibly double that con-
tr1buted by the federal government:
and that, in the apportionment of any
possible federal funds q number of
basic factors such as population, area,
wealth, or minimum cost of construc,
ton, should control, l have not the
least doubt
In short, as a practical program,
believe that this matter Is one in
which haste can best be slowly made.

SENTENCE cOnnUTED.
Governor Grants Clemency to Former
Prison Trustee, Relieving Him Of
PenItentlary Sentence.

Jackson, Miss, March Sc c.
Smith, convicted of grating, and
sentenced to FIVE years in the pen
itentiary, will escape that punish
ment. The former head of the
prison board was extended execu.
tive clemencY late this afternoon,
when his sentence was commuted
by Gov. Brewer to a fine of $500.
Overjoyed friends of Mr.. Smith
went to the county Jail to congrat-
ulate him. They went in streams
later to a local hotel where Mr..
Smith went soon after receiving
the precious bit of paper from the
hands of dis attorneys, who took
it to him at the Jail. The fine
was paid and Mr.. Smith returned
to his home at Insmore.
The action of the governor could
not be said to have been expected
in view of the attacks of friends of
Mr.. Smith that have recently been
upon him. But the governor, in a
statement given out for publication
said be had been informed by rep
utable physicians that Mr.. Smith
was suffering from incipient tuber.
culosis, and he did not want to
infiict capital punishment upon
him.
In closing letter to Mr.. Smith
which was handed to him with the
commutation of sentence papers,
the governor said: "I am going.
to do my duty as God gives me to
see it, and l have decided to COM
mute your sentence from imprison-
ment to FIVE years in the penitenti-
ary to the payment of a fine of FIVE
hundred dollars"
