The Old Trails

In connection with the announcement that
the Old Trails highway-the historic route
across the continent via New Mexico-is to
be hard-surfaced for all OF its length, a re-
view of the accomplishments of the associa-
ton building 1t, by President J. M. Lowe, is
interesting. He says:
This association was organized April IL,
1912. The present officials were elected aud
have continuously served since. The ambi.
tious project was declared to be the perma.
nent construction of a transcontinental high
way from the Atlantic to the Pacifc-from
Washington, ID. c., to LOS Angeles, Califor.
mia. AT the time of its organization not one
mile of the road was built and maintained
in such manner as to be recognized as a
good road, and there was not a dollar In
the treasury for promotion purposes.
During the past five years we have re-
ceived from all sources an average of S.,
516.41 annually. and have to show as results
more than $4,000, 900 expended in the per.
manent construction of the road.
1T is practically completed FROM Balti.
more and Washington through the states
of Maryland, Pennsylvania. West Virginia,
Ohio and Indiana, and in Illinois its build
ing is assured by a recent act Of the legis-
lature providing that the state shall build
it. In Missouri the legislature permitted
us to suggest the adoption OF the Maryland
statute requiring the state to pay one-half
the cost and the county through which it
runs the other half. In Kansas the consti-
tuition prevents the state from contributing
TO any internal improvement, but the people
with every indication Of success are active
ly urging county and district bono meas
ures; California has built nearly one-half
the road, and the balance is provided for in
state bonds already issued. Arizona, New
Mexico and Colorado will finish their part
within the year 1918.
Every state through which it runs has
adopted 1t as a part OF its state highway
system, and this assures its building even
II no other incentive existed.
I'm cooperation with the Automobile Club
OF Southern California who raised the funds
and performed the work, we have sign
posted the road with enameled steel signs
on steel posts, from Los Angeles to Kan
sas City, and our association has sign-posted
the road to st. Louis, and has also contract
ed to finish the sign.posting in the same
uniform manner across Illinois and Indiana.
This will be done by August 1. 1917.
I'm addition, we have expended thou
sands of dollars in maps, road logs. road
literature, etc.
IF the spirits of the mighty dead are per-
mitted to watch over mundane affairs, how
the hearts Of Gallatin, Jefferson, Giles,
Benton and Others must thrill with pleasure
over the sqccessfuls accomplishment Of their
great undertaking. What an inspiration it
Is to recall that memorable Christmas day
of 1924, when Benton, the great compeer
Of Webster, Clay and Calhoun, sat down at
Monticello to learn of Mr.. Jefferson who
had approved the act establishing the Ma
tional (Cumberland) road, whether there
was any precedent for extending that road

A highly gratifying editorial In the Albu-
querque Morning Journal Of Saturday dis
ayows i~mpugning the motives of the gov
ernor or his legal adviser.
This editorial IL especially gratifying as
indicating that the journal. which attacked
the governor so bitterly when he insisted
on an early saloon closing hour in Albu-
querque to protect the National guardsmen,
has now changed front and has become IN
earnest advocate of early closing, not only
In the city, but the county; In short. a mill.
tant opponent and foe of J. Barleycorn. The
Journal knows OF a Santa Fe saloonist who
shipped down an auto load Of booze to dis
tribute in Albuquerque to beat the saloon
regulations and will doubtless lay a formal
complaint before the proper authorities, CIV
ing the offenders name, date and amount
and brand OF red-eye shipped. 1t believes
that II is unfair not to let the albuquerque
saloon men sell liquor to the soldier boys
II outsiders or county ~saloonists can do
SO and get off with II, the city booze-ped-
dlers thus being left unprotected" AS all
but one or two of the Albuquerque saloon
keepers are Italians, this attitude is presum-
ably founded on the principle OF loyalty to
Americas allies.
Harking back to the governors legal ad-
wiser and head of the tax-eommission, the
journal doesn't believe some of the anony-
nous press matter sent to it by some of its
political friends. charging that Mr.. Reid
was appointed to keep down the taxes of
the Santa Fe Railroad company. The Jour.
nails incredulity may very possibly be based
partly on Mr.. Reds recent announcement
indicating a different line of activity. 1t
will be recalled that, in discussing the task
of placing the taxescaDing mining proper
ties on the rolls at actual value, Mr.. Reid
said that the commission was mot disposed
to shigk anything in the line of its duty
1t may easily be seen, OF course, that this
task would leave little time for keeping
down" any corporate taxes.
Going back to where we started: 1t is
Indeed gratifying, anyhow, to see our con-
temporary join the ranks Of the anti-booze
forces aHd exculpate public. officials from
any of the motives which the journal heard
itself say they were charged with.
