aid road act, the secretary of agri-
culture made the following state
ment.
"The Federal-aid road act and
another law-the cooperative agri-
cultural extension act that the de
partment is charged with the duty of
enforcing, establish a new principle
in American government, the princi-
pie of cooperation between federal
and state officers,
They are the only laws | recall
which recognize and insist upon this
principle. They are therefore very
significant Heretofore federal and
state officers have too frequently
looked at one another across the line,
sometimes with appreciation as to
what the other was going to do or
think, sometimes with jealousy, not
infrequently with friction. We serve
the same people. They have a right
to the best service of the representa-
tives of both jurisdictions. You rep
resent the states. | represent the
federal government. Together we are
charged with the execution of very
difficult and very important law.
81 need not emphasize before you
the importance of good roads. Most
intelligent people who think about
good roads know that they are es-
sential to comfortable living, essen
tial to proper community develop
ment, especially to the development
of rural life, to efficient production
and orderly marketing of farm pro
ducts, to good schools, and TO the de
velopment of a satisfactory rural
life.
MANY people, however, do not ap-
preciate this. and | have occasionally
met road officers who, when the i'm
portance of good roads was emphasi-
zed, have said: yes, but they cost so
much Apparently they have not
thought how much more bad roads
cost not only in dollars and cents, but
also in all those indirect ways for
which one can make no definite cal
culation.
Large Expenditures for Roads.
This law appeals to me as of es-
pecial importance, not so much be
cause It carries with il out of the
federal treasury an appropriation OF
S5 million of dollars, not because #
will be met by an appropriation of
10 million or more out of state funds,
If all the states accept the act, but
because as great as is the aggregate,
II Is relatively Insignificant in com
parison with amounts the states are
now annually eXpending and will
spend during the period covered by
the act.
Il remember that, on one occasion.
when | was speaking to a public
official about the road bill and sug
gested that we ought TO begin with
modest initial appropriation of
three, four or five million dollars. he
expressed surprise and said that such
an amount would not get us any
where: that the expenditure by the
nation Of few millions of dollars
for roads would be merely trifling
with the matter. | asked him IL he
knew what the people OF the nation
were contributing annually for road
building. that the nation was already
expending the equivalent Of nearly
half OF what the Panama Canal has

do as well.

majority of the people do not realize
that the nation is eXpending approx
mately $3.50, 100000 a year for roads.
A Dollars Result for Each Expended.
"The main question that | am i'm
mediatey concerned with, that the
people Of the nation are Immediately
concerned with, is whether we shall
get a dollars result for every dollar
we expand for roads. | am quite sure
that if we do so and we can convince
the people that we have done so,
they will be willing to put much more
money into good roads where they
are needed. Therefore, the matter of
administering this law, of devising
good road systems, of careful selec-
ton of roads, of formulating projects,
of developing plans and specifica-
tions, of having all matters consid-
cred on their merit by competent
men, seem to me to lie at the root
of this business If, as the result of
this act, the people are induced fully
to realize the necessity of placing
skillful and experienced men in
charge of road building and road
maintenance, a great advance will
have been made and the efforts of
those who labored to secure the leg
islation will have been rewarded.
Employment Of Experts.
81 assume, as a matter of neces-
sity, that this law will require the
employment in every state of experts,
of real experts. This word is very
much misused and abused, as the
word theorist' is | frequently hear
contrast between the theorists and
the practical men. There is no basis
for it. The classification ought to
be into good theorists and bad theo-
rists, of practical men and impracti-
cal men. A really good theorist is
highly practical; and so is a>real ex-
pert. The public is somewhat sus-
picious of experts, because, | think,
so many people pose as experts who
are not. When the public sets an
expert aside, it is worth while to in
quire carefully into the experts
claims and competency.
81 repeat that this act will neces-
state trained intelligence in the ser
vice of the state as well as in the
service of the federal government.
The act requires the state to accept
| II. That, as understand it, implies
the assent of the state TO every pro
vision of the act. One of these pro
visions is that projects, plans, speci-
fications. and contracts shall be sub
mitted and approved; and | have a
suspicion that plans and specificati-
ons will not be approved unless they
are submitted by people who know
about such things. SO the assent of
the state involves the calling Of train
ed men into the service of every
state which is now without them.
"The law involves another thing.
the pledge of the faith of the state
to meet in full the federal appropria-
ton for the entire period covered by
the act. The state legislature may
not be able TO appropriate money one
year for the whole period covered by
the act. but it can pledge the faith OF
the state to meet the financial provis-
ions Of the act for the period covered
by It. This is as it should be. It
would be unfortunate If it were other
wise. II would be wasteful not to

Threatened Strike of Ball Players is

Baseball battered on the rocks Of
internal warfare and external COM

facing one VI the most serious crises
of It's existence this winter in n
proposed revolt Of members Of the
baseball players fraternity, headed

Threats Of players strikes are not
new to baseball. but this one, com 'ng
as it does when many high-salaried,

West Of the Ohio River Sunday is
the greatest day for sporting events,
and il the Interstate Association will
grant permission 10 hold reg stored

The idea Of Elmer Shaner. man

to have enough traps for all those
who desire to shoot n the Grand
American or to limit the event in
some way so that the event will not
carry over two days.
II the Grand American Handicap

it; but one Of the these days the ma

will be conducted in classes and then
everything will be lovely.
