A Good. Nut to Crack

IN the Federal Treasury at Washington re-
] poses 100000 awaiting the call OF yir-
ginia. The entire amount is meant to be
expended in helping to give this State a
system or good roads OF which it may be
proud, replacing the network of alleged high
ways the very mention OF which now causes
every Virginian to hang his head in shame
and sends tens Of thousands of tourists each
year on long detours that they may escape
miring in the muck Of the Old Dominion
The only thing necessary to mako that
100000 available is for Virginia to match
1t dollar for dollar. The Federal government
doesn't caro- how Nirginia's share in tho
financial compact is complied With, whether
by taxes, bonds, direct appropriations or
private subscriptions, but it is adamant in
us determination that All amount equal TO
that withdrawn must be forthcoming And
Virginia wants indeed, ii must have the whole
of the amount that has been apportoncd
TO it.
There is the situation which faces the
executive committee OF the Virginia Good
Roads Association as it assemblies today i'm
the Capitol. The peace conference has its
troubles, and Mayor Ainslic has his financial
worries, but here at last is a real problem
How TO match that 100000 dollar for
dollar with no means provided is a perplexity
sufficient to cause a general lscratching OF
committee heads, and yet there is a feeling
on tho part Of the people that, somehow or
other, way will be found, and Virginia will
not be permitted much longer to hide its
glorics in tho depth Of quagmrc.
Money whereby the Federal fund can be
matched is not now in sight. Tho Legislature
will not meet until next January, and there
is constitutional bar against the issuance
Of bonds. Seemingly the obstacles set M
against tho good roads committee arc insur-
mountablc, but its closeup study of the hard
facts may reveal way out II is certain
that portion OF the fund will be matched.
hut roads in Virginia have been neglected
SO long, and the neglect already has cost the
State SO many millions of dollars, that tho
need OF haste and the beginning OF road
construction on big scale is imperative 1t
is safe assertion that every dollar that can
be spent on the roads this year would be
more than repaid within the following twelve
months by the increased flow Of travel coming
from the North and West. Perhaps of even
more vital present importance is the fact that
it would soivo at once tho problem of
unemployment, and thereby give a new thrill
Of vigorous life to every line Of business
within the States borders, The good roads
committee is composed Of Iovel-headcd clear
visioncd business men. Their difficulty is
great, but the rewards Of SUCCESS will be
large, and the hopeful eyes Of millions OF
| mud bound people are on them as they open
| their sessions.
