TO RAID THE TREASURY.
(New York WORLDLY

The good-roads movement is now
| sweeping through the country with
increasing force on the initiative and
at the expense Of the States them
selves and their localities. Somp
twenty Of the States have already i'm
proved 10 per cent or more of their
highway mileage outside of the
streets Of cities. The other States
are rapidly Joining the. movement and
need no stimulus bdyond that SUD
piled by their own self-interest.
1t is at this time that the House at
Washington votes 284 against AZ to
put the Federal Government into the
same work on an initial appropriation
Of $25 700, 900.
No one will be greatly deceived
either as to the purpose or the effect
Of this step.
The purpose is to open for Com
gressmen an improved highway by
which to raid the Federal Treasury
in making votes for themselves at
home.
The effect will not be to stimulate
the States in this great work but TO
turn them from sslf-dependence to
dependence on the Federal Treasury
through the medium Of grabbing Con-
gressmen.
It Is therefore but a modest start
in federalizing great State and To-
cal undertaking. 1t is the little head
OF the camel which precedes the big
body into the tent. 1t is only $780,
100000 now 1t will be ten times that
shortly. There is some limitation ON
the number Of mudholes to claim q
river and harbor appropriation, and
on the number of towns without q
Federal building. There are praoti-
cally no limitations upon the highway
mileage OF any crossroads section
which would demand and get share
II the Federal bounty.
AS new measure of Capitalization
it Is notable. AS measure to de-
bauch Congressional politics, TO de-
rnoralize the spirit Of local self-help
md to promote grating in public
work whose safety always increases
18th the distance from the source OF
payment, 1t is still more notable, and

ton Of the country,
