that where a state spends one dol
lar for road work it is entitled to
similar amount from the govern
ment. Most of the states are get
ting federal aid on a 60-40 basis.
The only limitations prescribed by
the federal aid act are that the
roads shall be rural post roads"
When a road has met this condi-
ton, it is the duty of the secretary
of agriculture to give his approval
to its construction and federal aid
is extended.
Council COOperates.
The federal highway council,
which has headquarters in Wash
ington, is cooperating with some
1000 other organizations through
out the country interested in good
roads for a connected system Of
national highways to be construct
ed and maintained with the sup
port of the federal government.
As the result of the efforts Of
this organization, a bill has been
introduced in congress for a ma
tional system of highways. It's OBJ
ject is to build in each state trunk
line highways to the extent of not
less than 2 per cent, nor more than
5 per cent of the total mileage of
the state, and to join them up with
the main trunk lines of other
states so as to make a complete
national system connecting the
entire country. The advocates of
this measure claim that if such
plan is adopted by congress it will
create a system of national high
ways, independent of the states
highways that will carry interstate
traffic. Such a system of national
roads, proponents of the measure
say, is necessary for the welfare
Of the country as whole.
It is the contention of the ma
tional highway council that the
personnel of the state highway
departments is constantly chang
ing, and to a greater or less degree
the state highway policies are
changed with each succeeding adj
ministratfon. 1t is therefore out
Of the question to expect any con-
nected system of roads between
the 4S states, over which there is
no supervisory power, and between
which there is little coordination.
Only the national government can
lay down and execute the nation
wide development of roads. 1t looks
as though the federal government
might get into this game on a stu
pendous scale in another decade.

WHAT zoN1NG DOES
BY HERRERT S. SWAN.

York ccnsultant, coming COM

(Secretary coming committee, New
York consultant, coming com
mission, Newark, N. J.)
coming AND RECONSTRUCTION
Our cities have been so en-
crossed in the war that they have
not recognized the Importance of
immediate coming as a step neces-
sary to reconstruction after the
war.
With or without coming, billions
OF dollars will be spent within the
next few years on new buildings.
That this money should be spent
toward the permanent upbuilding
of communities goes without say
ing. And yet if coming is not gen.
orally adopted many of these builC-
ings will be erected in localities
never intended for them in a COM
prehensive city plan. The ex-
pected revival in building opera
tons after the war makes the pres
ent adoption Of coming especially
opportune, for the lines followed by
this development will determine
what kind of places many OF our
cities will be to live in and to do
business in for generations to
come.
The time to zone our cities is
now. Every year that is allowed
to lapse without the adoption OF
coming means that much less Zon-
ing in the end. Here is a quiet
residential street improved with
private dwellings. If zoned now,
this street may be maintained for
detached houses. Wait until next
year to adopt a coming scheme and
the erection of two or three tene-
ments will place it in the tene-
ment house class. The erection of
a factory or a garage may even put
it in an industrial zone. To pro
tect what We have got, We must
have coming.
PURPOSE OF coming.
Zoning expresses the idea of or
derlinesa in community develop
ment Just as We have a place for
everything in a well ordered home,
so we should have a place for
everything in well regulated
town. What should we think of a
housewife who insisted on keeping
her gas range in the parlor and her
piano in the kitchen? Yet anomal-
les like these have become COM
monplace in our community house
keeping In what city can't we. find
gas tanks next to parks, garages
next to schools, boiler shops next
to hospitals, stables next to
churches, or funeral establish
ments next to dwelling houses?
What would be considered insan-
ity if practiced in the ordinary
house is excused as an exercise
of individual liberty when prac-
ticed in the city at large. And yet
misplaced buildings are to be con-
demned much more than out-of-
place pieces of furniture.
The whole purpose of coming is
to encourage the erection of the
right building in the right place. It
protects the man who develops his
property along proper lines
against the man who develops bis
property along improper lines.
understood coming means
the substitution of an economic.
scientific, efficient community
program of city building for
wastefuI, inefficient haphazard
growth.

WILSON STEMS
TIDE AGAINST
WORLD LEAGUE

CONTINUED from Page One.)
peal to their judicial instincts and
their known desire to reflect public
opinion accurately in their votes.
Senators Kenyon of Iowa, Capper
of Kansas and McNary of Oregon
come from sections of the country
whose press has from the begin
ming shown an attitude of friendli-
ness toward the league notwith-
standing its sponsorship by a
Democratic president. Mr.. Capper.
it will not be forgotten, carried
Kansas in 1916 on the Republican
ticket by an overwhelming major
ity at the same time that Mr.. Will
son triumphed on the platform of
the Democratic party. Senator
Capper openly opposed the big pre-
paredness programs being urged
before the United States entered the
war and took his cue from the anti
militaristic spirit and sentiment of
his state. He has not said what he
would do finally on the League of
Nations for the simple reason that
the ratifying resolution has not
been drawn. He is open to con-
viction. Therefore the president
chose wisely when he summoned
the Kansas senator.
Puts Opponents on Defensive.
What has been the effect on cap
itol hill growing out of the White
house conferences? 1t is yet too
early to know how many votes will
be changed, but that sentiment is
changing is unquestioned. This,
however, does not apply to the op-
position leaders who have been
counting for support. 1t can no
longer be said that sentiment
against the treaty and league is
rising. Rather can it be described
as having been checked by Mr.. Will
sons entrance into the arena. His
opponents admit that he is a re-
sourceful fighter and that he is
emitting no element of personal
persuasion or strategy to wear
down his opposition prior to his
appeal to the country.
Much Depends on Tour.
That Mr.. Wilson will be obliged
to go out before the American peo-
pie is not doubted. He may have
won over some of his opponents,
but the leaders of the opposition
men like Senators Lodge. Knox,
Borah, Johnson and Brandegee-
will not be won by personal con-
ference for they do not have faith
in Mr. Wilson's words. They will
be guided alone by manifestations
of public opinion throughout the
country, especially after President
Wilson makes his stumping tour
and they insist that they are as able
as he is to interpret the meaning
of these manifestations.

Favor Swimming POOl-Another
argument in favor of swimming
pool. or natatorium, and against a
bathing beach in the river was ad-
vanced yesterday by Alderman E.
r. McAdam, when he asserted that
the pool would be the ideal place
for children. Youngsters, he as
serted, would be the best patrons
of a municipal pool. AT the pres
ent time, the only place boys over
the baby" age have to swim is
the river. Younger children have
wading pools in one or two of the
public parks, but these are not
deep enough for swimming.

temporary raises and will expire
on June 80, 1920, according to a

citation.
Message From CIOuds-Rain and
hail and snow used to drop out of

message from A. G. McMann, who
runs a garage at 325 Harrison
