FEDERAL-AID ROAD
ACT MEANS Change
Recently Enacted Law Estab-
fishes New Principle in
American Government.
STATES Join WITH UNCLESAM
Measure Makes Cooperation Neces-
sary Where Friction Has Existed
Frequently in the
Past.
BY DAVID r. HOUSTON,
Secretary of Agriculture,

The federal-aid road act and another
iaw-the cooperative agricultural ex-
tension act-that the department of
agriculture is charged with the duty Of
enforcing. establish a new principle in
American government, the principle of
cooperation between federal and state
officers. They are the only laws l re-
call which recognize and insist upon
this principle. They are therefore very
significant. Heretofore federal and
state officers have too frequently
looked at one another acSc8S the line,
sometimes with apprehension as to
what the other was going to do or
think, sometimes with jealousy, not in
frequently with friction.
need not emphasize the impor-
lance of good roads. Most intelligent
people who think about good roads
know that they are essential to CON-
Portable living, essential to proper COM
munity development, especially to the
development of rural life, to efficient
production and orderly marketing of
farm products, to good schools, and to
the development of satisfactory rural
life.
Many people, however, do not appre-
ciate this, and have occasionally met
road officers who, when the Importance
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1916-09-22

Of good roads was emphasized, 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
40 definite calculation.
Much Money Now Being Spent.
This law appeals to me as of essen
dial Importance. not so much because
1t carries with it out of the federal
treasury an appropriation of $S5,000,-
BOO. not because it will be met by an
appropriation of $75,OO0DOO or more
out Of state funds, If all the states ac-
cept the act, but because as great as
Is the aggregate, it is relatively insig-
nif1cant in comparison with amounts
the states are now annually expending
and will spend during the period cov-
cred by the act.
remember that, on one occasion,
when was speaking to a public Off
cial about the road bill and suggested
that we ought to begin with modest
initial appropriation Of three, four or
five millions of dollars, he expressed
surprise and said that such an amount
would not get us anywhere; that the
expenditure by the nation of q few
millions Of dollars for roads would be
merely trihing with the matter. ]
asked him if he knew what the people
of the nation were contributing an
nually for road building, that the ma.
ton was already expending the equiva.
lent of nearly half of what the Panama
canal has cost. OF course he did not

Che main question that / am imme

dollars result for every dollar we ex
pend for roads. am quite sure that i
we do so and we can convince the peo
pie that we have done so, they will b,
willing to put much more money int
good roads where they are needed
Therefore, the matter of administering
this law, of devising good road SyS
TENS, of careful selection of roads, o
formulating projects, Of developing
plans and specifications, of having al
matters considered on their merit b,
competent men, seem to me to lie a
the root of this business. If. as the re
sult of this act. the people are induce,
fully to realize the necessity of placin

of road building and road maintenance
a great advance will have been mad

PART OF THE NEW ALASKAN
RAILROAD Is In OPERATION
Famous Matanusks Coal Fields Opened
Up by Uncle Sans Engineers
Sooner Than Expected.

Uncle Sans new Alaskan railroad
is now in operation. At least it is
open for traffic now for a distance of
II miles and coal is being carried from
the famous Matanuska coal fields to
tidewater at anchorage.
The first coal carried by the new
road was loaded onto a train at the
Doherty mine at Moose Creek. The
Importance of this event was evident
ly appreciated by the pioneers in the
territory, for there was large crowd
of men, women and children on the
scene when the loading of the coal
from the bunkers to the cars was be-
gun. A special train, that had been
chartered by the Anchorage chamber
of commerce, carried an enthusiastic
party of citizens from that city and
vicinity. Chairman William G. Edes
and Lieutenant Mears of the Alaskan
engineering commission, which is in
charge Of the construction of the rail-
road, were also in attendance, as was
Bishop Rowe of Alaska.
The honor Of dumping the first car
load of coal from the bunkers to the
train was enjoyed by Miss Babe White
of Anchorage, who also has the distinc-
ton of having driven the first spike
on the railroad. 1t was pointed out
that the governments railroad had en-
tered the coal fields at much earlier
date than had been expected.
The opening of these coal fields is
regarded as most important benefit
to both Alaska and the Pacific north
west. 1t means cheaper fuel for that
general country, and it is confidently
predicted that it will be followed by
new industrial and mining expansion.

PLAN TO EXCHANGE STUDENTS
Business Men Of United States Inter-
ested in Movement to Fit Young
Men for Foreign Trade Work.

Plans for the adoption of practical
scheme for the interchange of students
of commerce between the United
States and France are being made by
committee representing both countries
in Paris, Uncle Sam reports. 1t is rec
ognized that with the big development
Of American foreign trade, a new ca
reer is opened up to many young men
in this country and that to fit men for
this work some new system of COM
mercial education must be worked out.
It has been suggested that while the
two countries now exchange professors
probably greater benefits would accrue
from an exchange Of students who in
tend to devote their life to foreign
trade.
The sole aim of the movement is to
provide practical education for those
who will have a part in the promotion
of the foreign trade of the United
States. Large exporting and importing
firms of the United States are inter-
ested in the plan, which was suggest
ed by United States Commercial At
tache G. W. A. Veditz at Paris.

must. Greyerson says so, at least, and
when didn't believe him he called in
Hartt and Bushnell to hold my ante

"You can't make me believe that"
Peter insisted. "It just can't be so.

recordI won't believe itp
His big, red, generous fist described
large and inconclusive gesture of
violence.
"Well," he growled finally" grant all
this-which don't, not for one little
minute-what do you mean to do?"
81 don't mind telling you" said
Whitaker: 81 don't know. Wish l
did. At the same time, I've got to do
somethIng-get away somewhere"
Abrupt inspiration sparked the imag-
ination Of Peter Stark, and he began
to sputter with enthusiasm.
'Tve got itp he cried, jumping to
his feet. "a sea trips just the thing.

A warm light glowed in Whitaker's
sunken eyes. He nodded slowly.

and the efforts of those who laporeo
to secure the legislation will have been
rewarded.
Real Experts Will Be Needed.
I assume, as matter of necessity,
that this law will require the employ
ment in every state of experts, of real
experts. This word is very much mis-.
used and abused. The public is some.
what suspicious of experts, because,
think, so many people pose as experts
who are not. 1 repeat that this act
will necessitate trained intelligence in
the service of the state as well as IN
the service of the federal government
The act requires the state to accept it.
That, as l understand it, implies the
assent of the state to every provision
of the act. One of these provisions is
that projects, plans, specifications and
contracts shall be submitted and ap-
proved; and have a suspicion that
plans and specifications will not be ap-
proved unless they are submitted by
people who know about such things.
So the assent oS the state involves the
calling of trained 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 appropriation for
the entire period covered by the act.
but it can pledge the faith of the state
to meet the financial provisions 81 che
act for the period covered by it. This
is as it should be. 1t would be unfor-
tunate if it were otherwise. 1t would
be wasteful not to make plans at the
outset for the full period covered by
the act; it would mean piece-meal
road building and much dissipation of
effort and miSdirectiOn of funds.

FOUND HE COULD DO BETTER
Story of Man Who Turned From HE
Wickedness Ended In Somewhat
Unexpected Manner.

The late John Philip Quinn, the re-
formed gambler, who for 20 years trav-
eled all over America exposing the
electric roulette wheel and other cheat
ing devices, had reform story that he
would tell while exhibiting his queer
paraphernalia in his private car.
Don't be afraid of reform" he said.
''Help every poor devil who wants to

in the reform story.

The page now stood beside him with
a tray. "Open it." he told the hoy,
indicating half-bottle of champagne;
and then to Peter: 'Tm having q
bath. Won't you jump in?"
Peter whistled, watching the wine
glass. "King's peg, eh?" he said, with
a lift Of disappearing eyebrows. Here,
boy, bring me some Scotch and plain
water for common people"
The boy disappeared as Whitaker
lifted his glass.
'I'm not waiting" he said bluntly.

Il hope" Peter said thoughtfully,
that the man who started that lie
about drink making a fellow forget
died the death of dog. He deserved
to, anyway" He stopped at Whitaker's
side and dropped a hand on his
shoulder. 'Hugh," he said, you're
one of the best. Don't. :"
Whatever he had meant to say, he
left unfinished because of the return
of the page with his Scotch; but he
had said enough to let Whitaker under
stand that he knew about the Carstairs
affair.
"That's all right" said Whitaker !;
I'm not going to make fool of my
self, but l am in a pretty bad way.
Boy"
'Hold on" Peter interrupted.

a few minutes or months, that's me-"
returned Whitaker.

LARGEST Lily Pond.

Near the city of Washington. says
the Woman's Home Companion, is the
largest commercial water lily garden
in this country, and it is managed by
a woman, Mrs Helen Fowler.
Mrs Fowler ships $50 water lilies
every morning in midsummer, and Sc
lects every flower herself, for she can
tell you just how many times each
tightly closed bud will open, and she
sends out nothing but the freshest and
the best.
At hybridizing Mrs. Fowler is an ex-
pert, and one of her new varieties Is
beautiful lily called Suffragette.

Value of Vacation Recognized.

Pleasure, says Edmund Burke, is
the absence of pain. Similarly, a va
cation is the absence of work. Joseph
Choate used to say that his vacation
was the interval between his asking
of a question and the witness answer.
But the oldsters who used to make it
a point of pride that they never
took vacation" in their lives, instead
of making the rest of US feel like
apologetic sicklings as they used to
do, now get only a pitying, "Think-
un-you've-missed." We are
reminded of the fabulous monster in
