the representatives of the public, on
whom devolves the road and street
work of the country, the value of the
country's highways, both for COM
mercial and for military purposes:
therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the highway do
partments Of. the several States
should cooperate with the War De-
partment Of the United States IN de-
termining the highways Of each State
that are important from a military
standpoint, and also the require
ments which such highways should
meet; and be it further
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that each State high
way department should at once pre-
pare a report on the highways in the
State that are essential for the
transportation of agricultural and
industrial products; and be it further
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
this meeting that the Governor OF
each State should file with the proper
committee of the Advisory Council
on National Defense or with any
body that may succeed to the powers
and duties now vested in the said
Council, a memorial requesting that
the railroads be not permitted to
place an embargo upon the transpor-
tation of materials, machinery. or
equipment for use in the .construc-
ton of roads of military value or e
quired for the transportation OF
foodstuffs and other necessities, but
that this class of freight be put on
the preferred list.
That highways must be improved
in order to meet the war situation
and lessen the cost of transportation
between the farm and the factory
and the consumer, and in order to
supplement railroad transportation,
which has broken down so badly,
good highways are essential, and
they must be built as a necessity.
There never was a time in the his
tory of the country when it was more
important that highways should be
built, and that the materials Wnich
enter into highway CONSTRUCTION
should be regarded by the Govern,
ment and the railroads as favored
freight requiring as quick delivery
as other products which 60 into iron
and steel and kindred interests.
There are many lines of business,
especially such as pertain to luxurles
pure and simple, where there must
be a complete change. Many things
must be cut out of freight traffic. and
of production in order to save trans
p~ortation and men and money for
essential things. Some Of these es-
sential things are highway improve
ments, water-works and sewerage
systems, drainage of wet lands and
Kindred works which make for in
creased transportation, for the
health of the people and for enlarged
crops. The Government would make
a serious mistake if it should in any
way encourage the railroads not to
have quick transportation to all ma;
terials for highway construction and
other work mentioned.

the reduction diet more easily than she

need not eat pork products. and she can
