NATIONAL SYSTEM OF ROADS
Expert at National Capital illustrates
How Scheme Is to Be Brought
to Successful End.

The establishment Of national sys-
tenn of highways is greatly facilitated
by the federal aid road law. which
cOmpeIs all the states that would share
in it's benefitS-and that means all OF
the states-to equip themselves with
state highway departments. With these
state highway departments devoting
their attention to the building of state
systems of main, through-Iine high
ways, every condition is favorable for
the next and browning act-the estab-
lishment of a national system of high
ways.
By way of illustrating how a ma
tional system of highways is about to
be evolved by easy and logical stages,
an expert at the national capital made
the following statement:
Gradually the state has made itself
q compelling factor in the handling OF
local road problems and. as a logical
sequence, the federal government, first
through educational activity and later
by the financial aid provided by the
federal aid law, has made itself a
powerful factor in the working out of
the state highway problems. The next
logical step follows the same course
which has been pursued by the state
governments, namely, the broadening
of federal participation to provide for
the establishment of a system of ma
tional highways.
''This policy can be put into effect
without disturbance of existing organ
izations, without providing new means
of finance and with but little change
in existing laws. The process would
logically take a course somewhat as
follows:
81. The state highway departments
and the federal office of public roads
would make an initial selection from
existing state highway systems of
those highways which are of interstate
Importance.
''2. A system thus selected would be
approved by congress, with the re-
Quirement that federal funds be ap-
piled only to such system on and after
a specified date.
SO. The federal aid should be ex
tended to maintenance as well as con-
struction, as the national system of
highways should have for all time q
close relationship with the federal gov
eminent
Some of the states already have
made plans for utilizing the aid grant
ed by the federal aid road act on roads
which could not properly be included
in a national system. But this need

Claude's parents were frequently
embarrassing him by asking whose boy
he was. He hated to hurt mothers
feelings by saying that he was fathers
boy and it seemed disloyal to fail to
proclaim himself as fathers boy.
One day he listened to a talk at Sun
day school that seemed to please him
and the next time the question was
asked, answered:

not cause extreme conflict, as the fed
erai funds for the first three or four
years operation of the present act
could continue to be applied as now
planned. The appropriations for the
first two years are already available
and considerable time necessary must
elapse before the national system
could be laid out and made ready for
the application of federal funds.

would come into effect as an extension

Suddenly they all said, MANY happy

Chippy Chappy had forgotten too, and
