Friends OF the measure believe the
States would thus be relieved OF con.
siderable part OF the cost OF main high

more completely with counties in build

distribution OF the Government
money that excluded all population in
state ouslde tho cities in calculating
DIVISIONS.
Since only per cent OF Massachu-
setts' and only IS per cent OF New
York's population Is rural, States
having large urban population are
expected to object strenuously to this
basis of calculation. Senator Bank
head, however, is strongly in favor
of military roads in connection with
national defense. in States where need
might come for quick concentration of
