FOR PROMOTING GOOD ROADS
Suggestion Made by Chairman DiehI
for Great National Congress to
Be Held in Washington.

''Unquestionably the time has ar
rived for great national road con-
gress to be held once a year in the

This gathering in Washington
would be under the auspices of the
United States office of public roads
and rural engineering of the depart
ment of agriculture" continues Mr..
Diehi, land the event could be made
most comprehensive in its scope; there
could be complete exhibit of road
machinery and road materials; there
could be sample construction of vari-
Gus kinds of highways; road schools
could be conducted for state county
and town engineers, and various tech
meal phases of the work could be set
forth by trained experts who would

"Then there would come the interre-
lated phases of road travel, and road
transportation. Undoubtedly the de-
partment of the interior, because of its
national parks, would set forth the
scenic attractions which are under
government supervision. Various states
would be given opportunity of adver-
Using their attractions.
"'rhe good-roads board believes in
state highway conventions which are
generally called for a specific purpose
In the endeavor to concentrate the eff

ends. These state meetings are Of in
calculable value, for the state is the
