far on the construction Of the Panama
canal-for our road improvements
throughout the country. Mr.. Davis
contention Is that good roads, roads
that run for thousands Of miles
through state after state, are, proper
ly, not the responsibility of the state,
but of the nation. He would have the
federal government build a system Of
national roads joining the West with
the East, the North and South, connect
ing every part Of the country, rs Is
the case with the national highways
Of Europe, and, as history shows, such
as was the essential equipment Of ev-
cry first-class power Of the past. How
would such an enormous construction
be paid for and kept up? Suppose"
asks this eminent engineer, "the gov
eminent built 100000 miles Of prop
erly planned roads, and at the same
time purchased, say, 800 feet of land
on either side. This land would so
continually increase In value, and In
demand for leasing on long rental, that
the cost of the road and the land pur-
chase would soon be paid. A rental
rate of S666 per acre would pay the
interest on the cost Of construction.
But much would rent at vastly higher
rates, In cities and towns, high enough
to give the nation an income equal to
Its total annual experimentation
