to extend beyond town and county and
even state lines.
Thus comments the Senate committee
in the memorandum which accompa niles
the bill recently reported unanimously:
While the primary purpose of the
government in entering upon the policy
of federal aid Is to secure the con-
struction of systems of highways
which are urgently needed, 1t should
not forego the opportunity and the
duty to require the part of the
! states that they adequately maintain
every mile of road constructed with
the aid of federal money. If legislation
is framed SO as to bring about such
continuous and efficient maintenance, a
great beneff to the people will have
been assured, as IL is now generally
recognized that because of lax admin
istration and mistaken economy mil
lions OF dollars worth of well con-
structed roads are disintegrating under
the destructive action of heavy traffic.
The federal government should not ex-
pend its revenues for maintenance, as
by SO doing it would not add to the
stock of good roads, but it can make
conditions which will bring about the
desired results and leave the federal
! revenues free for the great task of
cooperating in the building of i'm
proved roads"
Contributions From State.
In answer to the charge that federal
help would cause the states to lessen

effort and rely upon the central source
entirely, the committee says:
while the contribution on the part
of the federal government should be
substantial. so that results of some
magnitude might be accomplished, such
contribution should impose upon the
states the duty of contributing in at
least as large a measure. so that there
may be no insidious paternalism estab-
lished, which would stifle local initia-
tive and self-help. If the federal gov
eminent were to enter upon the build
ing outright of system of national
highways, the temptation would be
great on the part of states and their
subdivisions to cease or curtail their
own work of improvement in the hope
that the federal government would I'LL
tmately come and make the improve
ments for them. Furthermore, the i'm
posing upon the states of the duty of
making substantial contribution will
serve to automatically modify the de-
mands upon the federal Treasury. as
excessive demands upon the federal
Treasury under these conditions would
at the same time entail equally excs-
sive demands upon the states"
