employed; and the purpose of helping

Mr.. Stephens will present at the out
set OF the session a bill carrying an
authorization of $100, 5000 to defray
the cost of constructing a great, inn
proved national highway, practically
encircling the United States. II would
be over 10000 miles in length and
would, as Mr. Stephens describes it,
start from Los Angeles, run across the
southern part of the country through
Arizona. New Mexico, Texas and the
Gulf States to the Atlantic coast:
thence north, skirting the Atlantic TO
Portland, Maine; west through New
; York, Pennsylvania and other States
TO Chicago: thence to ST. Paul and
Seattle and down along the Pacific
coast.
IT would not be on the border or anv

it. The work will be conducted under
army engineers, just as that at the
Panama canal has been done But the
men employed on the highway are to
be citizens of the United States who
are mentally and physically qualified
for military duty and not only are they
to be paid fair wages for their work,
but they are to receive daily two hours
of military drill under army officers.

of the five sets of Commissioners can
employ its own road engineer, if the
Board OF Supervisors approve of their
choice. The commission can tell their
engineer what to do and what not to
do; but IL can't do anything much
nor can the commissioners, unless the
Board of Supervisors says So In
short. only the Board of Supervisors
can make a contract or pay out the

to please the board and do what they

are mostly in the way, as the board
could, in much less time, give their
instructions directly to the engineer;
and hence. further, it would save them
time and money to employ only one
engineer for the entire county.
