the plan are necessarily kept secret,
but the report does state that ade-

Philadelphia under the recommended
appropriation.

LOdavine i Miller and Brother
Convicted OF SWindIe.

Chicago, Jan. 19.--Even II "Sentl-
mental Tommy" Foulkes never gets
back his $4,000 farm and the $11,312
he lost, he had the satisfaction of
hearing a jury in Judge Fitch's court
convict Miss Lodavine Miller and her
brother, Attorney J. Marion Miller, on
the charge Of swindling him.
The swindling Of Foulkes occurred
In the period between 1901 and 1910.
Foulkes was farmer of Danbury, la.
He came to Chicago to have a special
list examine his eyes, and the special
list recommended marriage and gave
Foulkes Miss Millers address.
When he returned to his Iowa farm
Foulkes wrote Miss Miller, and the en-
suing correspondence extended over
many years. He established her in bus
mess, paid bills for her and made her
presents, and always, he says. she
kept postponing the date of their mar
riage. Finally, in 1910, when both his
farms had passed into other hands, all
his cash was spent, and he was work.
Ing on his aunt's farm for room and
board, he said Miss Miller sent him q
Bible as a present and advised him
to "go to California and marry a rich
widow"

NO PORK BARREL FEATURES ABOUT THE
FEDERAL AID ROAD ACT, JUST PASSED

under way was the issuance by the
secretary of agriculture of a formal
certificate to the secretary of the
treasury, the state highway depart
ments and the governors of states,
showing the exact amount which each
state will receive for the first year of
the laws operation. Rules and regu-
lation for the administration of the
act have been completed in tentative
form, and these are to be discussed
with state highway officials at a con-
ference to be held in Washington
Aug. 16, so all of the states may have
an opportunity to set forth their posi-
ton with reference to each and every
point before the secretary of agricuI-
ture adopts and promufgates the rules
and regulations in official form.
Expanding the organization to in
spect and safeguard the tremendous
expenditure of federal funds is a task
of no small magnitude, for while the
federal aid act leaves to the states the
making of surveys and plans, and the
actual supervision of the work, yet it
requires of the federal government
very thorough inspection and approval
at every stage of the work. This
means that a relatively large force of
engineers must be employed, and
their distribution so arranged as to
take care of projects in all parts of
the country with the greatest possible
economy of time and money, consist
ent with efficiency. Many appoint
ments will be made from an examina-
ton for the position of senior highway
engineer that closed Aug. s.
LAS examples of the multitude of
details that must be worked out" says
Mr.. Page, Il might mention that we
are called upon to answer hundreds of
inquiries covering every phase of the
operation of the new road law. We
must establish an adequate account
ing organization for handling the fed
eral expenditures, and to keep track of
the joint state and federal outlays; we
must expand our filing system; see
that all doubtful points of law are
construed by the law officers of the
government, and we must work out all
Of the forms and procedure to expe-
dite the cooperation between the state
highway departments and the depart
ment of agriculture. In spite of these
many vexing details and the magni-
tude of the undertaking, as a whole,
we expect to have actual road work
under way in at least a few of the
states before winter sets in"
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-08-12

Motorists generally are sanguine
that the roads cooperation just estab-
lished between the national govern
ment and the several states will ac-
conpIish a big step toward the evolu-
ton of a federal system of highways
which will connect the different sec
tiOns Of the country as effectively as
the French plan of national routes.
THE most refreshing feature of the
federal aid road act is its freedom
from the faint Of pork BARREL COM
ments Chairman George C. Diehl of the
good roads board Of the American
Automobile association, which work
ed so persistently for the measure
along with the American Association
Of state highway officials.
AN automatic check is placed upon
any raid on the United States treas
ury," continues the road authority, in
requiring that the states must match
each federal dollar with at least an
equal amount. OF course, this means
that the state will not squander its
money for makeshift construction or
repair. The law further guards against
pork barrel by requiring all of the
cooperation to be between the state
highway departments and the secre-
tary Of agriculture. No political Off
C1aI has any power over the work at
all, and it is a credit to the members
Of congress that they have so worded
the act as to make the state the small
est unit Of cooperation rather than
the congressional district or the coun-
ty The federal aid road law is founda-
mentally as sound as any measure that
could be enacted and it's only weak
ness, other than those of a minor
character, is in it's failure to require
iron-clad assurance from the state
that the roads will be properly main
tanned. Abundant and benefcent re-
suits should flow from this legislation
during the next few years
Putting this great new policy into
operation involving an outlay of $751;
900 of government money has made
Of the United States office of public
roads and rural engineering about the
busiest bureau here in the government
service While the federal act road
law designates the secretary of agri-
culture as the executive officer for
carrying out the act, he will very
largely meet this requirement through
the agency of the public roads Office,
Of which Logan Waller Page is the di-
rector.

she might dispose Of them to some
European power. The American peo-
Pile, as well as their governmental
representatives were we'll aware that
the purchase Of the islands by Ger
many or some other European nation
might give rise to perplexing questions
for the United States, insofar as the
integrity OF the Monroe doctrine was
concerned.
That was before the completion OF
the Panama canal, and the question OF
the ownership Of the islands was I'M
measurably less important than it is
today. Today all of the reasons exist
which justified Mr.. Roosevelt in seek
ing to purchase the Danish West In
dies, and there has been added the
paramount consideration of their stra-
tegic Importance as affecting the
safety of the Panama canal It is in
teresting TO note that republican lead
ers of the first calibre at Washington
have been fully as outspOken as the
democrats in approving the president s
plan. The signing Of the treaty, which
is expected shortly, is held back now
only by the need for clarifying few
Of the minor points at issue. 1t VIII

greatest care was taken that European
nations which might consider them
selves interested in the transaction
should remain in ignorance OF what
was going on. OF course this mannez
of conducting the negotiations fol-
lowed the best uses of diplomacy.
Opinion prevails in all well inform
ed quarters that the president is emf
nently justified in consenting 10 the
payment Of $25 900 900 in gold and the
surrender of certain intangible rights
of discovery which the United States
has in Greenland, as the consideration
for which the United States is to re-
