Interstate Highways Would Aid In Me-
biIizing Troops. Advocates Say.
A bill providing federal aid for main
line Interstate highways. which win
have the support OF national good
roads organizations. has been prepared
for congress to pass upon A strong
argument to be used In favor Of the
measure viii be In connection with
preparedness. IL VIII be said that
over the proposed interstate highways.
By means Of automobiles and motor
trucks, troops could be modified rap
idly. Construction Of three transcon-
tinental highways east and west and
two north and south win be provided
for II the bill becomes q law.
Several new features have been I'm
corporated In this bin TO avoid some
Of the objections and problems OF the
past One OF these Is designed to re
duce to a minimum logrolling as % the
location OF the through highways. This
provision Is that the fund appropriate
ed shall be expended upon whatever
main roads and post roads the secre-
tary OF agriculture and the highway
department OF the state in question
shall determine Thus the main course
Of the transcontinentaI lines would be
IN the hands Of the secretary OF agri
culture. The department OF agricuI-
ture has been making experiments In
road building, especially as regards
materials In different sections OF the
country. for several years.
Another feature In the bfl Of CO
operation between the federal govern
ment and the states is that a state
shall appropriate a sum equal In
amount to that allotted TO IL By the
national government Furthermore.
the money appropriated by congress
shall be distributed among the several
states on the basis OF population, route
and mileage
The amount to be asked Of congress
for this purpose win be SJ0,00O.OO0.
according to information received in
New York city. The plan Is for the
states to equal this amount so that a
fund Of sf00.O00OOO would be provid-
ed for transconfinenfa1 road construc-
ton. Twenty per cent Of the fund pro
yided Is to be reserved for mainte-
nance.
With the government assisting in
the main line routes It IS said that the
states VIII have more money to build
lateral or feeder lines. 50 that the pro
posed highways would be the backbone
Of a system Of roads that would great
" reduce cost Of transportation from
the farm to the nearby market and |
thus be the introduction OF a new ma
iionai economy.

EARTH ROADS IN KANSAS.
Movement TO Surface Them With Dur
able Materials.

Movement 70 Surface Them With Dur
able Materials
That more cities in Kansas have
paved their streets with first class ma
terials during the last i've years than
in any other state in the Union is the
assertion OF w. 8. Gearhart state
highway engineer These cities be
gan their work." says Mr.. Gearhart.
~by paving one-or two blocks In the
business districts and extending opera
lions until in many places practically
all Of the streets have been paved.
The most natural. practical and logical
development Of this system win be the
extension Of these paved highways out
into the country. Indeed. many coun-
ties are making definite plans for such
q radiating system Of roads
During the last 1--WE years Kansas
has built and has been maintaining the
finest system OF earth roads In the
world. but about ten months ago the
bottom dropped out and the most
important dimension Of these high
ways has been their depth. The
weather conditions In 1913 and 1914
were favorable for the maintenance Of
earth roads. and many Ransans began
to think that properly graded earth
roads would answer any purpose.
However. # Is now clearly evident
that IL these main roads radiating from
market eenters and connecting cities
are to be maintained I'm the eastern
part Of the state as 365 day highways
It win be necessary TO surface them
with more permanent materials than
puddled earth.
Eastern Kansas is especially adapt
Cd to general farming and dairying.
and a system OF first class highways
Leading TO the market centers IS one of
the first essentials in the successful
carrying out Of this type OF farming.
The kind Of road to construct in
any locality depends essentially upon
two things-nameIy. the kind Of sur
facing material available IN that com
munity and the kind and amount OF
traffic for which the road Is being
built
Choosing the type Of road for a 10
eality should be done by an expert en-
gineer. while the construction Of the
road should be placed under the super
vision Of corps Of expert engineers
who have been given the power to get
results"

RAPs TOWNSHIP SYSTEM.

County Ensinesr Says Scattering tha
Work Does Not Get Coed Roads.
That the present system OF permit
ting townships TO expend 100000 a
year In constructing township roads is
poor system when the results are
taken into consideration is the declara-
ton OF County Engineer ]. W. Strack
and Chief Deputy c. A. McClung Of
Spokane. Wash. in a report on road
conditions for the year receasly COM
pleted-
The report in part says:
Spokane county has ffty town.
ships. each with its set OF ofncials.
who have absolute charge Of all road
work in their respective townships. ex-
cept in the case Of state and perma-
nent highways They decide on all pc
tItions for new roads or for the vaca-
ton OF old ones. While the county en-
giReer is required 70 survey and report
on these changes. the townships are
not required to act according to his
recommendations and frequently disre-
gard them
These townships levy over $780,
600 year for road purposes. which Is
all used for maintaining old roads and
building new. with what average sue
cess the automobile user can testify.
The majority OF the township super
visors act to the best OF their knowl-
edge But under the old system OF
electing them every year a good OH
eial was scarcely broken into the du-
ties Of his ONCE before his term ex-
pired and a new man had to take up
the work.
Many OF the townships have got
value received for their money, but
some OF them have fallen a long way
short
Under this head the townships grad
ed fifty miles OF road In 1915. OF which
80 miles were graveled. and the coun-
ty engineers Office surveyed 64S9 miles
OF new road and vacations The ig-
ures for roads built by townships are
low for the reason that many OF the
townships neither call on this Office
for stakes nor report work done BY
them
Roads on which the expenditure is
too great for the townships to handle
are built with county aid on order Of
the county commissioners. Under this
law the commissioners aided In the
construction Of approximately ten miles
Of the above mentioned ffty miles"
