State plan OF roads should be mapped
out and adopted by the General As
sembly. the roads to be included therein
TO be built and maintained through the
cooperation Of the nation, State and
county governments
SHOULD GIVE STATE
CONNECTED SYSTEM
Such plan should be so framed as
! TO give the State a connected system
of through highways. furnishing to the
FARMER convenient access to the mar
kets, attracting travel to tho State and
possessing military value in time of
war. Any plan or system adopted
should. SO far as possible do exact
! justice among the several counties OF
the Commonwealth. I believe that the
adoption OF such a system would fur
nish great impetus to the good roads
movement in Virginia. on which it's sue
cess SO much depends.
The employment OF convicts en- the
PUBLIC roads Is now n popular thing to
advocate, but 1t was not always So I
mad the honor to introduce the first
resolution that was ever offered in
the General Assembly OF Virginia on
! this subject when l was member Of
the Senate in 1SS6-S7. I spoke in ad-
Hocacy of the adoption Of the resolu-
ton at that session, and was one Of
two Senator's who voted for It, have
lived to see the day when practically
all agree that 1t is n wise thing to do
with our able bodied convicts. and i'm
| mcasurably ono OF the best ways to ac-
complish the building Of good roads in
the State.
Il shall devote my best energies to
securing from our General Assembly
and the Federal government all pos
sible additional financial support for
our Public Highway Commission in It's
splendid efforts to extend and improve
our public road SYSTEM"
Wcstmoreland Davis has declared
himself to be in favor Of using the
convicts OF the State for the construc-
| tion OF roads. Quoting from his plat
form, he said he thought that CON
victs should not except in peculiar in
stances, be subject to contract The
| good to be derived from their work on
the roads will far outweigh the profit
to be had from system that is vicious
in principle.
PRESENT ROAD PROVISIONS
| PETTY AND UNSATIsFYING
The present Federal provision for

ing. when the needs of our rural COM
munities are considered. In the vast
expenditures incident to preparedness.
and to the prosecution OF the present
war. where billions of dollars are to

SUFFICIENT small arms and ammunition

Artillery delivery has not yet be-

1t will begin in quantity. For many
months to come the American army
abroad must depend on the French for
artillery.
Thousands Of troops in cantonments
have been given shoes and overcoats
too small for them, and months have

steps to correct the condition.
The Council Of National Defence
has virtually taken over the purchas-
ing power of the quartermaster's de-

Red tape causes all contracts, re-
quests for action on important mat
tiers, and decisions of policy affecting
various bureaus and departments to
be sent through half a dozen different
officers before decisions are had and
action begun.
Personal and professional jealousies
have arisen, and, according to testi-
mony, have prevented adoption of in
vention and devices later proved Of
great value.
Col. Isaac N Lewis, U. S. A, re-
tired, inventor and manufacturer or
the machine gun which bears his
name, testified that his gun which has
been adopted by Great Britain and
France was rejected by Crozier be-
cause Of personal prejudice against
him Gewis.)
Lewis, one Of the foremost author
tiles on ordinance, made no effort to
hide his feelings against Crozier, and
his belief that he is the wrong man
for the place, and asserted that Gro
zier is too autocratic, and is respon-
sible for failure to properly equip the
American army and for alleged lack
Of progress in Aremican ordinance.
He characterized the ordnance
equipment of General Persh1ng 8
forces as "disgraceful."
Congress has been skeptical regard
ing the Ordinance Departments effl-
cheney for some time, and dissatisfied
with the system under which the
Council of National Defence prac-
tically dictates where and when ma
terials shall be purchased, and it is
freely predicted at the Capitol that
the revelations resulting from tie
Senate committees hearing will un-
doubtedly have the effect Of the pas
sage of legislation creating a board to
centralize production and distribution
of all war supplies. leaving the Ord
nance Department with but minor
authority.
