Underwood Stands by States in Controversy Over Rate Fixing-Motor Route
 to Brewton
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

President Wilson, Postmas- ter General Rurleson and Sec retary of Agriculture Houston, according to statement of the latter, this morning are a unit in a determination to under take on the part of the govern ment extensive road building throughout the United States.
 The Secretary of Agriculture told Sem ator Bankhead that the administration would support legislation in form Of amendment to the existing Bankhead good-road bill under which money in the sum of s75,0oo,oo0 would be appropriated as soon as the necessary machinery was in order and each year thereafter for five years, s1oooO0,0eo in addition.
 EACH STATE MUST HELP
 These amendments will extend the life of the existing bill and no doubt make it permanent. The administration ac- cording to the secretary will insist, how ever, that for each dollar expended by the government the state or counties to be benefited must show interest by raising a similar amount.
 The one exception may be made In favor of counties containing a necessary unit to highway which can show by record that they can raise no funds. It IS the plan of the government to secure through state and county action the com pletion of trans continental highways.
 Senator Bankhead declared today that the necessary amendments would be in troduced next week and predicted that as result of the legislation bad roads throughout the United States will event. ualy disappear
 President Wilson has called the sena. tor into conference on the same subject tomorrow afternoon.
