miles of really good road in all the
as states. The trouble with highway
construction is that often waste and
graft get together.
The association has been doing some
market figuring, and 1t finds that 45O,-
900 miles of real highway, around the
centers of population, would reduce
the cost of living as well as add to
the enjoyment of living. A system is
proposed whereby each of the states
could undertake the construction of
500 or 600 miles of highway each year.
Thus in twelve years or so, with the
10000 miles of road already improved,
the nation would possess the nucleus
of fine market system. These roads,
radiating from the centers Of consump-
ton, could easily be connected with
the trunk highways that are now being
constructed in all parts of the coun-
try, largely as result OF the activity
of motor clubs.
Concentration In Washington might
mean unity and coordination, but 1t
would also mean increased appropria-
lions. The work belongs to the states.
It was not, says the highway associa-
ton, until 1891, that the state of New
Jersey took the initiative, and three
years later established department
of public roads. Since then other
states have followed in form, but hard,
ly in spirit. The association places In
diana in the list of lazy common
wealths For all the fine gravel roads
It possessed a few years ago, Indiana
can. apparently, no longer be regarded
as a leader In highway Improvement.
II this is true, 1t is time that some
thing were done-Indianapolis News.

The American Highway association
reads the states a lecture on their neg

miles of public road in the United
States. The annual expenditure for
construction and maintenance amounts
to s260,00O,000. Yet inadequate results
