National Highways to
Strengthen Present
Plan OF Federal Aid
Senator Townsend Explains How Interstate System May
Serve an Example of Proper Road Construction

Washington. August - - Farmere
throughout the country are evmcing a
deep interest in the movement to estab-
lish a national system OF public roads.
They are asking their state highway Of
ficials and representatives in Congress
for definite information concerning the
national highway bill now pending in the
United States Senate, and with a clear
understanding of the national road
Sroiect they are in general expressing
their approval.
An impression is held in some sec
tions that the continuation of federal aid
will be affected should the pending meas
ure become a law. since it provides for
construction and maintenance under ex-
elusive federal control on such highways
as may become state links in the ma
tional system. The fear has been ex-
pressed that such a step would result
in lessening of federal cooperation on
purely state and county roads.
Senator Townsend of Michigan, author
of the bill and chairman of the senate
committee on postoffices and post roads,
is keeping in close touch with highway
problems. particularly during this period
when auxiliaries to railways and quicker
methods of food product distribution are
so urgently needed to check living costs
Noting this tendency of fear that the
national highway project might in some
way affect adversely the present sys-
TEN c. federal and state CO. opera ton
he has expressed the opinion with en-
phasis that the federal aid plan will in
no wise be weakened. On the contrary.
the senator asserts that federal aid will
be strengthened since roads are what the
people need, and greater mileage of
permanent highways will be constructed
and put into use in much less time un-
der the proposed national highway plan
than is possible even at the rate roads
are now being built
The object of the bill introduced bv
me" Senator Townsend states, lis to
establish and maintain national system
of highways according to a national plan
connecting the different states of the
union, and affording an example OF
proper highway construction. which will
De beneficial to the states. The bill does
not IN any manner injuriously affect ex-
lsting law in fact, in provides that the
commission created under it shall have
charge OF the federal aid law, and shall

rl1ke reports annually to the Congress
as 10 what is being accomplished under
existing law, and to make such recon-
mendatioi for the future as the opera
ton OF the law and its results seem to
be necessary. The two systems of road
building are separate and distinct. ex-
cept that they are under control of the
same federal commission The appro-
priations however, cannot be mingled
and the results will be known and prop
erly appraised by the people from time
to time. If the present federal aid law
proves satisfactory it WILL as a matter
of course, be continued and probably
enlarged. If the proven results are not
satisfactory that law will be discontin-
used. And what | say of the federal aid
law will be true of the bill now pending
before the Senate. The commission APP
pointed under the law, it may safely be
presumed, will be high-grade men, rep
resenting different sections of the coun-
try, and their life work will be to serve
the people by furnishing the best posi-
Bile highway transportation facilities.

CADILLAC WINS RACE
IN RECORD TIME
Science in Manufacture Show Tire
Gives Longer Mileage

Cadillacs were not designed for rae
ing purposes but many a doughboy
rode so fast in them over shell holes
and along the battered highways of
the war zone that they could not resist
putting that speed to test on the race
track.
Sergt. Charles d. Frey of Dallas,
Tex, recently returned to the United
States with a photograph of the con-
verted army Cadillac, which won the
straightaway in the La Baule races of
May so. 81 and June / in France.
The race was against time, and was
won at speed of 103 miles an hour.
The army mechanic who built the
car drove it in the race. When his
brakes began to drag he jerked them
off.
The Cadillac motor had already seen
is, 900 miles of hard usage in the war
zone, but with slight change in the
gear ratio and with its frame cut
down, it presented a typical race course
appearance.

OWNERS TELL OF
COLE AERO EIGHT
State Performance Is Per-

Great

Now that the touring season is a : its
height, Cole aero-eights over the coun-
try are confirming by the reports of
their performance the claims which
have been made for the cars by the
Cole Motor Car company of Indian
apolis, their manufacturers.
Daily letters are being received at
the factory and by distributors
throughout the country telling of the
unusual experiences of aero-eiSht
owners in their tours throughout the
United states
The remarkable reliability of the
cars. their ease Of control and their re-
serve power are the items chiefly COM
mented on.
Tourists who formerly figured that
from $50 to 200 miles was a pretty
stiff days drive are now negotiating
upward from $50 per day in the aero
Fights without experiencing the least
fatigue.
The extra long spring suspension OF
the Cole aero-eight, it's shock absorber
equipment and its extremely large
tires which do not require a great
amount of initiation to carry the light
weight of the car, are elements which
| contribute to it's riding ease.

TRANSPORTATION.

New rates on. high density cotton
from south Atlantic ports to Liver
pool and United Kingdom ports have
been fixed at $1.25 per 100 pounds by
the shipping board, effective imme-
diately. The old rates were $3.50 per

Summary of railroad earnings for
December, made public February 4 by
the interstate commerce commission,
indicates that receipts from passen-
ger and freight traffic for that month
exceeded the November figures, but
that expenses also advanced. With
reports for IT'S roads not yet tabulat-
ed, operating revenues in December
were $414.537, 900 and operating ex-
penses were 1915, $4,000, while net
railway operating income was $23,
0S5,000. The last figure, providing for
adjustments and joint facilities, rents,
represents about the amount which
the government will receive for the
months operation from the IT'S roads.
By comparison, it was cited that all
roads in November reported $780, no.
600 revenues, s363,S19,O0 expenses.
and $57,123.000 net operating income
for the government.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
PROGRAM MAKES PROGRESS
Under Craftsmanship of President Viii
son, Twelve of the Twenty-Five
Articles Approved.

Paris.IGreat progress has been
made by the committee which is draft
ing the constitution of the league of
nations under President Wilson's
cles have been approved.
The two mots important articles
have been compromised. These relate
t othe abolition of CONSUMPTION and
the reduction of ornaments Under
the provisions as agreed upon both
subjects will be covered by regula-
lions made by the league of nations.
AS embodied in the constitution the
principle of reduction of armament
and the abolition of CONSUMPTION will
be approved by a league empowered
to study the question with a view to
solving the. problem raised by the
French and Italian objection that it
is impossible to them.
1t is learned that the United States
takes the position that it must adhere
to big navy program until it is de-
termined whether the nations of the
world will reduce ornaments and aboI-
ish CONSUMPTION. If the dominions and
all nations comply the United States
Will also conform. If the league fails
to do these things, or some nations
decline to reduce ornaments and abol-
ish conscription, the United States
will have a large naval force capable
of carrying out the purposes of the
league.
