ALLoTMENTs OF MONEY.

with the maintenance cost limited to
10 per cent of the appropriation for
any one year. Under the act $4,000,
600 would become Immediately avail
able, $75, 100000 for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1, 1920, and $100,00O,00o
for each of the three succeeding fiscal
years, or in all, $425,000,000.
The proposed commission OF only
three members would not be properly
representative, Commissioner Hall
believes.
IF national highway system is to
be created, a capable commission to Sc
lect and designate routes and deter
mine standards Is essential. Such a
commission should consist Of from nine
to IL members" said Commissioner
Hall. "A western authority has sug-
gested a regional congress for ex-
preston of popular sentiment. and the
Idea Is a good one.
mo plan for national highway
system should require surrender to the
national government of title to the
highways included in that system.
Such a provision Is unnecessary, and
further, 1t is doubtful II such trans
fer Of title would be legal without spe-
cial legislation by each state affected.
POWERS TOO GREAT.
"In my judgment, the powers and
duties conferred upon the proposed
commission by the Townsend bill are
too broad and too far reaching. The
cost OF an organization such as 1t Is
proposed to establish would be enorm-
Gus and nothing could be accomplished
thereby that can not be better and more
cheaply accomplished by a commission
which could coordinate the efforts of
the different state highway organiza-
lions. 1t does not seem desirable under
existing circumstances to add any
overhead charges that can be avoided.

COMMISSIONER HALL SAYS TOWNSEND
HIGHWAY BILL WILL Be UNAVOIDABLE To
THE WEST; WANTS MORE FEDERAL MONEY
Proposed Federal Highway Commission Three Decide
Routes for National Road System Could Not Properly Rep
AL Better Plan for
Developing Roads in Needy Sections

The present federal road act with
proper application and extension Is
far more preferable to state with
road conditions such as Idaho has and
to the west generally, than would be
the proposed Townsend bill providing
for establishment of a national high
way system, w. j. Hall, state COM
missioner of public works, believes.
The Townsend bill proposes to use
in a national highway system not less
than 2 per cent nor more than per
cent of the total mileage actually used
in any state. But the roads used in
the national system would necessarily
be direct routes across the state, and
the state would not therefore get the
benefits of federal aid in undeveloped
sections that it does under the present
federal aid plan, Mr.. Hall points out.
WRITES REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr.. Hall has written the Idaho con-
gressional delegation his views on the
Townsend bill. He suggests that adj
dltional appropriations should be
made under the federal aid act, instead
of appropriating money under the
Townsend bill to build up only a small
portion of the roads in each state.
This view is heartily in line with
memorial passed by highway con-
ference July 80 at Kansas City at which
representatives were present from
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa.
The states, under the Townsend
bill, would be required to surrender to
the United States by deed the roads
built under the measure. The bill pro-
poses the creation of federal high
way commission to be appointed by
the president, with powers to select
the proposed highways after consulta-
ton with the various state highway
departments, and with full powers and
discretion in all matters of survey, con-
struction maintenance and general ad-
ministra ton.

stratOrs showed how to remove horns
with clippers and saws, and with the
use Of caustic soda and caustic potash
to prevent the growth Of horns on
calves. Dehorning chutes, for holding
cattle while being dehorned. were also
constructed by the demonstrators, who
emphasized the Importance Of using
them instead Of resorting to such prac-
tees as throwing the animals with
ropes. tying them to fences or similar
methods which are unsatisfactory. In
number of cases farmers were per-
mitted to dehorn one or two animals
to become familiar with the operation.
The method Of dehorning depends in
each case upon the age of the cattle.
specialists OF the department say.
Demonstrations with young calves
showed how the growth of horns can
be prevented by properly applying
caustic soda or caustic potash. Older
salves and other cattle were dehorned
either with the saw or clippers. While
clippers remove the horn more quick
~ and with less pain to the animal.
the saw has the advantage Of not
crushing the horn, especially In the
case Of old animals whose horns are
hard and brittle Neither does the
saw cause as much bleeding. since by
decorating the blood vessels 1t causes
