FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
PROPOSED BY BILL
Two Trunk Lines Contemplated by
Townscnd-Slcmp BilI-wnI
Provoke Discussion

Washington. June Senator
Townsend, of michigan. chairman
OF the senate committee ON post
offices and postroads. has introduced
n federal highway bill which is de-
signed to supplement and to a large
extent supersede the federal aid pro
visions already made in the last
postotNce appropriation act
The same far-reaching measure
has been offered in the house by
Representative Slemp, OF Virginia.
one of the few Republican members
from the south, who is now on the
appropriations committee but was
formerly on the roads committee and
has made the road question a spe-
cialty. In each chamber the bill has
been referred to the postoffice and
pOstroads committee.
TranscOntincntaI Auto Routes.
This new bill is going to provoke
great deal OF discussion, in and out
OF congress, because It undertakes to
create federal highways within the
states, and also because II would
take out of the hands of the depart
ment OF agriculture all OF it's pres
ent jurisdiction over highway con-
struction and maintenance and con-
centrate this authority in a federal
highway commission of three mem
bers, to be appointed by the Presi-
dent with the consent of the senate,
with salaries of $4,000 year each
and terms OF six years each (after
the first term OF two years for one
member, four years for another, and
six years for the third.)
The appropriations carried by the
Townsend-Slemp bill coincide with
those authorized for the same period
by the last postoffce appropriation
act-namely. s5O.0OO,0OO to become
Immediately available for the fiscal
year beginning July 1st, 1920, and
800 100000 for each of the three
succeeding fiscal years, the amounts
to be cumulative and available until
expended.
There is no doubt that an effort to
absorb the $3.50 federal aid entirely
into the proposed strictly federal sys-
TEN has been considered, but 1t was
decided impracticable. II not other

ber OF states have already made con-
tracts and set to work under the

FOOD Is CURE
FOR BOLSHEVISM
First Aid Treatment Splendid MedI-

War Savings Stamps Help.

President Wilson has asked for food
30 stop the wave of Bolsheyism roll
Ing westward out of Russia. No intel
tigent person doubts the value OF food
as a first aid, but at bottom the secur-
ity OF our institutions rests upon the
working interest the people take in
those institutions.
Citizens having no interest in a gov
ernment no economic interest in the
success OF that government, are apt to
be the first victims OF vicious propa-
ganda or unbalanced political theo-
rists. On the other hand men and
women who have invested in their
government either by way of conduct
ing private enterprise under it's pro-
lection or through direct purchase of
government securities have something
at stake and desire to maintain stable
institutions. Such persons are not
necessarily reactionists. They may
be quite progressive and anxious for
reform where reform is needed
Consequently the effective barrier
to Bolshevism in America today is
thrift and investment. The philosophy
must reach into the workshops OF the
nation. 1t Is reaching into those work
shops and into the schoolhouses Of the
nation in the form Of the Thrift
Stamp and the War Savings Stamp.
When everybody in America is buy

American who loves real liberty to
