OPPOSITION TO
FEDERAL ROADS
HAS COLLAPSED
Highway Questions Settled
and Laid Away as Sup
port Has Gradually
Strengthened.

Washington, April 5.-"When
President Wilson July II. 1916, ap-
proved the federal aid road act, and
consequent federal appropriation
of $85,000000," says President David
Jameson of the American Automo-
bfle association, "the long contro-
versy over the constitutionality of
federal highway appropriations. for
all practical purposes, was settled.
Congress again, in the closing days
of the recent session. by another APP
preparation of $209,000,000, en-
phasized the laying away of this
question: of constitutional powers.
Its further discussion must, there
fore. be classed as academic.
When AZ states assented through
their legislatures to the federal high
way measure, they buried that fur
ther disturber known as states
rights, SC far as it had any bearing
upon federal participation in high
way improvement. Any national
highway act, the benefits of which
may be had only when the state leg
islature assents to the federal meas
ure successfully meets any conten-
ton that the federal government is
invading the rights of the state.
Not Pork Barrel.
!" Pork barrel can only be applied
to federal highway measure when
the federal funds are so expended as
to produce inadequate or negotiable
results. The building of an impor-
tant highway in an appropriate man
ner through the medium Of federal
appropriations in these days of mo-
tor travel and transportation can
never be termed as pork barrel ex-
penditure, for the benefits are so i'm
mediate and far-reaching as to be ut
terly inconsistent with what results
from customary pork barrel OUTLAWS.
1t is necessary. therefore. merely to
frame the federal measure to insure
building the right roads and to build
them right to remove any faint OF
pork barrel
Those who view with alarm see
in the building of system of fed
eral highways by the federal gov
eminent an unlimited invitation to
states and counties to make a raid
on the national treasury and an in
discriminate scramble to have all
highways included in the federal
system. These alarmists also have
visions of states and counties fold
ing their arms, so to speak, and
waiting for the federal government
to build their highways.
Only Main Highways.
"These alarmist views take no
account of the fact that a national
highway system would be based
upon the fundamental premise that
only main highways meeting a given
standard of importance and limited
to a given percentage of the total
mileage would be included in the
federal system. They overlook the
fact that the federal measure could
call upon the states to build an equiv
alent mileage of secondary roads to
form an automatic check upon the
demands of federal appropriations,
They overlook the further fact that
with a federal system probably not
exceeding per cent of the total
mileage, the states in view of the
enormous requirements of local traf-
fic, could not adopt any policy of
folding arms and waiting while they
neglected the other SO per cent.
