There are two ways to spend the
Governments money, over the pork"
route, and via the right road of ad-
ministrative efficiency. The "pork"
route is we'll known and it has been
broadened and made easy by the heavy
traffic it has borne. The right road
is of course the proverbal narrow and
stony path. But at the end of it there
stands the House called Beautiful-the
prize of good results.
Engaged in the effort to have Sc
lected a right road" for the expen-
diture of money on good roads" is
the National Highways Association.
This parent organization, with its in
finite number of affiliated organiza-
lions is striving for the creation Of a
National Highway Commission. It's
argument is the simple one that if you
want to build a railroad you do not
simply begin to lay tracks anywhere
and everywhere and build TO nowhere
in particular. You employ expert en-
ginetrs and locate your road in such

which would attract the maximum of
traffic to the minimum of mileage and
would serve to connect and correlate
highway systems, just as those State
systems have, in many State corre,at-
ed and brought to their highest value
the county systems.
Inevitab 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 system of :Na-
tional Highways built and maint air ed
by the Federal Government. In its ad-
vocacy of a national system the Ma
tional Highways Association points 70
the teachings of experience in the
case of the counties and the states. It
has stated its position in the following
words:
Good roads were first built by the
more active and prosperous towns or
townships. The larger centers of pop
uiation 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 4 dc
mand for county appropriations for
road building. The moneys were first
distributed among the towns or town
ships, on some agreed plan, and were
srant by them or under the join au-
thority of county officials. Under
these conditions most of such moneys
went into politics, and not into roads,
and there was no uniformity in con
struction or care. ::
CAS- a result of this work, there was
q reaction in favor of county roa Is
built and maintained by the county
officials. Then, and only then, did the
bulk of such appropriations get into
roads, and there was a beginning of
efficiency and uniformity.

manner that it will gain the maximum
Of traffic on the minimum of mileage.
You build your trunk lines and then

The contention of the National
Highways Association is merely that
TIE Federal Government should enter
uron the task of building good roads
upon this scientific basis. The Ma
tional Highway Commission proposed
would be composed of experts in high

replacing that energy, enough times
to run your gasoline bill from the cost
of say lis miles to gallon of gasoline
to or s miles to the gallon.
If you drive your car the average Of
$1,000 miles in year, this increased
requirement in gasoline due to bad
roads will add handsome fraction to
your gasoline bill, and the higher the
price goes, the handsomer that fraction
will be.
While gasoline sold at u cents a
gallon, the difference between the cost
of fifteen miles to a gallon on good
roads and miles to a gallon on bad
roads, represented only saving of
II IL cents on good roads oman aver
age of days run of twenty-five miles.
But with gasoline selling, say for
rs cents a gallon, the saving on such a
days run ON good roads, as compared
to tad roads, amounts to nearly 81
cents a day. The increased need of
good roads, for the cheaper operation
of the car, is shown to be in direct
proportion to the increase in the price
of gasoline.
All of a days run would not often
be over bad roads entirely. But in the
5000 miles covered in a year with the
average of good and bad roads exist
ing in the United States today, GER
tainly a large enough portion of it
would fall on bad roads to make the
increased cost in gasoline big item
But bigger item still that depends
upon hte condition of your roads is
the tire bill. 1t is difficult to estimate
the increased cost in tires which bad
roads entail. Also it is perhaps I'M
necessary to estimate it. Every driver
of an automobile knows what rocky
roads and sand blisters add to the tire
hill over the legitimate cost occasioned
by tire wear on good roads. And heav-
en- knows that latter cost is enough.
This same comparison in Bad Roads
versus Gasoline could be extended to
& discussion of cost of repairs and loss
from depreciation. The bill of par
ticulars" could be drawn out indefin-
itely. But enough of a case has already
been made to support the appeal of
good roads advocates that the spec
tacular rise in the price of gasoline
should not lead you to think twice
about the cost of gaso inc while you
think once about good roads.
Never before has the Good Roads
propaganda been so actively pressed
as now. This fact is particularly no
ticeable in Washington because now
the fight has centered upon the ques-
ton of federal participation in the
building of highways.
And there is more to the issue, as it
has been raised here, than the mere
question of getting so many of Uncle
Sans dollars to be spent on roads.
The effort being made is moreover the
way in which that money is to be
spent, since Congress has already
given evidence that it is committed in
principle of federal appropriations for
road bnilding.

automobilists, for good roads.
Gasoline has become so much of a
necessity of life" in these prosperous
United States today that there is no
chance Of the demand for the lowest
possible reduction in it's price subsid-
ing. If the tales are true that the
present price is not altogether fixed by
supply and demand, or if inventive
genius create new sources of sup
ply, this demand will bring such re-
lief.
Advocacy of good roads does not
oppose any such demand or undertake
ing. Nevertheless the fact remains
that in Bad Roads versus Gasoline, it
can be demonstrated without aid from
Brother Ananias in the use of your
figures that Bad Roads have bit the
best of it, or the worst of ii, in adding
ciphers to your yearly automobile
bill
For instance if you have not con-
nected with the War Babies in suffi-
Gent quantity to take you out of the
class of drivers of four-cylinder

But history repeated itself as be-
tween the counties. The more active
and prosperous built and maintained
good roads These were again de-
stroyed by the traffic from adjacent
counties. This traffic did not help
build or care for the roads it destroyed.
There followed Statewide demand
for State appropriations toward road
building. Again history repeated itself
in the form of State Aid to the coun-
ties and towns, to be spent by them,
or under joint authority of the State
officials. And again most of such
moneys went into politics, and not into
roads, and lack of efficiency and uni
formity persisted.
"As result of this waste, history
once more repeated itself and there
was demand for State Highways
built and maintained by the State UNI
der its Highway Commission. Eff
cheney and uniformity were the result,
and the moneys went into roads.
I'm these States which now have
the best road systems we find as the
result of the above experience, three
fold system, each under the exclusive
jurisdiction of it's properly constituted
authorities. This has produced the
largest mileage of good roads for the
least expenditure. 1t has brought eff
cheney and uniformity out of chaos,
and the money has gone into roads.
THE advocates of National High
ways therefore claim that such sys-
TEN, built and maintained by the Ma
tional Government, is the only sane
ard ligical course to pursue. They
claim that this would result in four
fold system, each under the exclusive
Jurisdiction of it's properly constituted
authorities"
