and stony path. But at the end of
 it there stands the House called Beau tiful-the prize of good results.
 Engaged in the effort to have se-
 lected right road" for the expen-
 allure of money on good roads" is
 the National Highways Association.
 This parent organization. with its in- finite number of affiliated organiza-
 tions, is striving for the creation of
 2 National Highways Commission. It's
 argument is the simple one that if
 you want to build railroad you do not simply begin to lay tracks any where and everywhere and build to nowhere in particular. You employ
 expert engineers and locate your road fin such manner that il will gain the maximum of traffic on the minimum of mileage You build your trunk lines and then your feeders.
 The contention of the National Highways Association IS merely that tthe Federal Government should enter upon the task of building good roads upon this scientific basis The Ma tional Highways Commission proposed would be composed of experts in high way engineering and they would To- cate a system Of National Highways which would attract the maximum of
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1916-05-18

traffic to the minimum of mileage and would serve to connect correlate State
 highway systems. just as those State systems have, in many States, corre- lated and brought to their highest value the County systems.
 Inevitably the struggle has also
 come, while the Federal Government stands on the threshold of this under taking. between the policy of federal aid and the policy of d system of Ma tional Highways built and maintained by the Federal Government. In its advocacy of a national system the Ma
 tional Highways Association points to the teachings of experience in the
 case of the Counties and the States. It has stated its position in the fol- lowing words:
 Good roads were first built by the
 more active and prosperous towns or
 townships. The larger centers of pop
 Ilation grew within their limits. This
 attracted the road traffic of adjacent
 communities. Such traffic did not help build or maintain the roads it partly
 destroyed.
 This destruction resulted in a de-
 mand for county appropriations for road building. The moneys were first id's'r.sured among the towns or town

ready been made to support the ap- peal of good roads advocates that tho spectacular rise in the price of g:ts, line should not lead you to think twice about the cost of gasoline while you think once about good roads.
 Never before has the Good Roads propaganda been so actively pressed as now This feet is particularly no- ticeable in Washington because now the fight has centered upon the ques- tion of federal participation in the building of highways.
 And there is more to the issue. as if has been raised here. than the mere question of getting so many of Uncle Sam's dollars to be spent on roads. The effort bcin" made IS moreover tho way in which that money IS to hc spent. slHce Congress haS already given evidence that il is commit ed in principle 10 federal appropriations for road building.
 There are two ways to spend the Governments money. over the pork route. and via the right road of ad- nlinistrative efficiency. The pork roil.e is well known and il has hecn hroadened and made easy by he heavy traffic it has borne. The right road is of course the proverbia, marrow
