Washlucton.-Thc movement to CON

cost of construction and maintenance
TO be borne by the federal government.
is gaining throughout The country. ac-
cording to reports coming i'm 10 the
federal highway council
Many letters are coming in from
practically all sections ind0rSing the
movement and calling for explicit in
formation us to the main points In the
national highway measure. now pend
ing in the senate.
The national highway bin. intro
duced 10y Senator Townsend. chairman
Of the senate committee on post offices
and post roads, is an entirely new
piece of legiSlgtion. It's object is 90
puild in e'ch state trunk line high
ways To- the extent Of not less than
per cent nor more than . per cent Of
the total mileage of the state. and to
join them with the main trunk lines
Of other states. thus creating ma
tional system connecting the entire
country.
Think II Would Help State Reads.
The decided trend in public opinion
I'm favor of federal construction of a
national highway system is due. ac-
cording to those having the measure in
charge, 90 the fact that such mileage
as each state will receive will put the
state that much nearer to complete
and well connected state system. at
the same time iusuring logical connec-
tions with adjoining states.
1t is admitted that such connections
are necessary to a properly co-ordinat-
ed system and that such coordination
is logically a federal function.
The net result TO each state. il now
begins To appear. will be a strengthen
ing Of forces behind road development.
The states on the one hand are to be
aided by relieving them permanently
Of the construction and maintenagce
Of the heaviest travelled Interstate
routes. thus permitting the concentra-
tion of state effort on routes having
their terminal points within the state.
In other words. more effective cooper
alton of federal and state power is to
be gained 10y each having its specific
work laid out, one applying its efforts
20 national connections and the other
10 the development of local or intra-
state roads and their proper connec-
tons.
Supporters Of the national highway
movement are increasing their activi-
ties. in the expressed belief that I'm the
pending measure they are working for
a plan whereby a comprehensive Sys-
TEN Of pational highways may he con
