GOOD
ROADS
NEW ROAD BUILDING PROGRAM
Amount of Money Available for Fed
eraI Aid Largest Ever Set Aside
by Any Nation.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
With full state cooperation accord
Ing to the terms of the federal aid
road act, the United States will have
total of at least $574, 100000 for CO.
operative road building during the next
three years. The federal part of this
fund is assured by an extra appropria-
ton of 5000 000,0O0 in the post office
appropriation bill just passed by con-
gress and signed by the president.
Officials of the bureau of public
roads, United States department of az
riculture, which administers the pro-
visions of the federal aid road act
and co-operates with the state govern
ments in the expenditure of the money,
point out that this amount of funds is
the largest ever appropriated for SINH
lar purposes and for similar period
by any government in the history CT
the world, and that it enables the fed
eral and state governments TO carry
out a bodybuilding program of a mag
nitude never equaled.
In connection with the great federal
aid program it is also noted that ex-
penditures for highway work in the
United States this year are likely to
amount to half a billion dollars or
more. On reports received from state
highway departments. the bureau of
public roads estimates the 1919 ex-
penditures for roads and bridges ut
1885, 100000, or $110.0O0,000 more than
the average expenditures for 1916 and
1917.
An important effect of the law con- ,
tanning the new appropriation is that
it broadens the definition of rural
post road, under which class a high
way had TO qualify in order to receive
the benefits of the federal aid act.
Under the old act it was required
that mail should actually be carried
on the road or that there should be
reasonable prospect that mail would be
carried on it within a short time after
The new act says:
9. the term rural post roads
shall be construed to mean any

The new act also raises the govern
ment limit of contribution from not to
exceed $4,000 a mile to not exceed
$4,000 mile, taking account of high
e. present costs of labor and materials.
The law also authorizes the secre-
tary of war to transfer to the secre-
tary of agriculture material, equip
ment and supplies suitable for highway

war department.

NEW MEXICO SOLDIER,
SENTENCED TO A TERM
IN PRISON, PARDONED

Santa Fe, Oct. 25.-Chairman Ar
! thur Seigman of the democratic state
committee and United States Senator
A. A. Jones have succeeded in secur-
ing tardy justice for Jack Collins Of
Clayton, who had been sentenced
while overseas to ten years in mi itary
prison for shooting an Australian in
what he maintains was self-defense
There had been bad feeling between
the Americans and Australians in
camp in adjoining villages and the
American commander had coUTseled
his men to stay away from the village
held by the Australians. However,
Collins had not heard this counsel
and one day wandered over to the
Australian lines and went into a re-
freshmcat hut where he was served
with a meal and wine. Soon after
warjs several Australians came In and
seeing the American began to abuse
the Americans and the American
army. This led to words and Collins
finally backed up to the door and
threatened to shoot any Australian
who would dare to lift his hand
against him. It seems the Austral-
ians did pounce on Collins and he dis
charged his pistol, the bullet striking
an Australian.
Collins was court martialed and
sentenced to ten years. Mr.. Seligman

increase in the tax levy to the extent
of $1,37S.GS7 to provide funds for the

$S,000,000 bond issue was defeated
by decisive vote, largely, it is said
because the voters were of the opin-

tax commission came to the conclu-
sion that a small issue might meet
