In another bill was Incorporated
additional financing of the State
Trunk Highway System. Two years
ago, when the original State Trunk
Highway Act was passed, to conform
with the. provisions of the Federal
Aid Road Act, it was necessary for
the state to raise the sum of 81, $685.
200 to meet the federal appropriation
of an equal amount. This was raised
by the diversion of the three-quarters
Eof the automobile license fees, which
Heretofore had went to the counties,
! to the state highway fund, and the
raising of the fee to $1,000 per car.
This law also required that the coun-
ties should raise an amount equal to
that raised by the state and federal
government, making a total of SIS, 776-
248 for construction on the State
Trunk Highways, one-third from
each of the units of government
mentioned.
Under an Act of Congress passed
last March increasing the federal APP
preparation, Wisconsin was allotted,
to the original amount, $5,09l, 1856, to
be spent in the three years 1920, 1921,
and 1922, for highway construction.
The state is required to equal this
amount. To do this, a bill has been
passed by the legislature providing
for the levying of a tax of 81, 100000
available for use in the three years
1920, 1921, and 1922, and making a to-
tai Of SIS, 100, 600. AS in the original
State Trunk Highway Act, the coun-
ties are required to raise an equal
amount making a total of $l5, 275, 1858
made available by the present legisla-
ture for construction on the State
Trunk Highway System, the federal
government, the state, and the coun-
ties each paying one-third. AS under
the act of two years ago noted above,
IS, 776, 248 was made available. This
means a total of $21, 051, 606 spent or
to be spent on State Trunk Highway
construction in the years 1918 to 1922
inclusive.
The State Trunk Highway Act of
1917 marked the beginning. It gave
us the skeleton of a great state high
way system, provided for the road
marking, provided for the patrol
maintenance, and made available the
initial appropriation for construction.
The additional appropriation will en-
able construction to be pushed rapid

purpose in life and we see a little
stubbornness in the soil the means to
a greater intellectual activity.
Thousands of immigrants who came
into Wisconsin fifty years ago left be-
hind them blighting and unfayorable
political conditions. Great as was
their labor in opening farms without
the explosives and land clearing ma
chinery now used in the upper coun-
ties their situation OF independence
was from the beginning far superior
TO their condition of dependence in
the mother country. Wisconsin's
schools have kept pace with develop
ment, have been the promoters OF It
and the measure of the production Of
the land is after all seldom the fertil-
ity of the soil but rather the fertility
of the intellects of the men and
women doing the work.

Highway Legislation

This is the first of a series of four art
icles covering the important highway legisla-
ton enacted by the 1919 session of the
legislature. A reading. of these la VS.
will show that many vital changes have been
made.l
A survey of the highway legislation
enacted by the 1919 session of the
legislature shows that many i'm
portant bills have been passed, max
ing changes in our highway laws,
township, county and state. The
outstanding measures enacted or
changes made are incorporated in the
following bills:
The passage of a bill enlarging the
State Trunk Highway System from
5000 to not exceed, 1900 miles, re-
vising legislation regarding bridges,
regulating the dangerous signboard
evil, and re-adjusting the allotment
of the State Trunk Highway main
tenanee fund.
A bill providing for a state tax of
81, 7OO, 1000, annually for three years, to
be spent in 1920, 1921, and 1922, to
meet allotments made by the United
States Government.
A bill regulating highway traffic,
the size, weight, tires, and speed of
vehicles.
A bill completely rewriting our
town road laws, and eliminating our
old road district, pay-your-road-taxes-
in-labor system. This is a highly i'm
portant measure.
The joint legislative Highway Com
mittee worked studiously on the
many highway problems, with the &C
tive cooperation of State Highway
Engineer A. r. Hirst. The legisla-
ture showed a most friendly attitude,
and tho 1919 session accomplished
much toward highway improvement.
The first big piece of highway
legislation to be taken up in this SEES
sion was known as Bill 379S, and pro-
vided that the State Trunk Highway
System should be increasd from 5000
to not to exceed 1900 miles. In Sc.
lecting the new mileage the same
procedure will be followed as in lay.
ing out the original system. The de.
termination will rest with a joint
legislative committee of five mem
bers, acting in conjunction with the
Wisconsin Highway Commission, and
hearings will be held throughout the
state to determine where additional
mileage shall be placed on the sys,
