URGES CONGRESS TO
 CREATE COMMISl N
National Highways Association Submit Resolutions to State Legislatures, Chambers Com merce, Civic Organizations.

Washington, April 24.-Resolutions urging Congress to create National Highways Commission to investigate and report upon the most economic and beneficial method for the Fed eral Government to participate in the building of good roads are being sub mitted by the National Highways Association to State Legislators, Chambers of Commerce and civic or ganizatons in all sections of the country.
 Believing that Congress is now practically committed in principle to the policy of federal participation in good roads construction, this move ment has been undertaken to direct such participation along the most scientific and economic lines. The form of resolution offered to the Leg islatures and Chambers of Commerce provides that the National Highways Commission shall survey and locate a oNStVii Vl hiShNogS IouilSNtiIlS eill state highway systems by interstate trunk lines, thus providing a national system of highways which will corre- late the state systems just as the staet systems in thirty-one states of the Union now correlate and bring to their highest value the county and township systems.
 In presenting the resolutions the National Highways Association has advanced the argument that only by providing for some such scientific To- cation of the highways on which fed eral funds are to be expended can the evils of the pork system of legislation be avoided.
 With every "good roads" measure that is introduced in Congress it is made evident that the trend is away from pork" and toward method of federal participation which will se- cnrc the most efficient administration ot the work and the most economic results. Officers of the National Highways Association express their confidence that, with the tide set in this direction, they will succeed in their effort to have federal participa- tion in this work guided and con trolled by the counsels of an expert commission.
