in their states, and all, without excep- tion, are clamorous for an additional appropriation under the federal aid act, for the purpose, suppose, of hay ing more projects approved
 Project Ready, Rejected It.
 "I know of an instance recently, where the county commissioners, after having their project approved" real ly advertised for bids, and received a number of responsible bids to do the work, and then turned it down for the reason, as publicly stated, that some- one would have to put up a guaranty that Uncle Sam would keep his prom ise, and contribute his portion of the funds under the federal aid act-in other words, obey the law.
 "Now what ought to be done with such a set of pigheaded commission CTS? Here, I think, lies the chief difficulty in the whole situation, but there is an additional one that is worth mentioning and that is, that as rule these state highway boards have not been financed and equipped to do the enormous work that has fallen upon them, and particularly on the state engineering department. In Kansas, I am told, the state engineer has less than S20,000 appropriated to equip his office and carry on all the work of building the proposed large system of roads. He has three assist ant engineers, and it is utterly out of the question that he can perform the details of his office either to his own or to the public satisfaction without very much increased appropriation.
 "That we shall never build roads under the federal aid act worth while until the states are enabled to cooper ate by having state funds, is illus trated by the experience we have had in building the National Old Trails road. East of the Mississippi, where state funds were provided, either by

LEGION HEAD PROTESTS
 AGAINST RETURNING MEN
 WOUNDED TO CIVIL LIFE

A letter to the legislative commit tee of the American Legion in Wash lngton, urging efforts to have modi- fled the recent order of the war de- partment for the release to civil life of service men who had been under treatment in hospitals for more than twelve months, was mailed from the national headquarters of the organi- zation. The letter signed by Franklin dOlier, national commander, supple ments resolution seeking the same object adopted last week by the execu- tive committee of the organization here.
 "Officers and enlisted men confined in hospitals received full pay" the letter said. "When returned to civil life tubercular and other incurables will receive but six to thirty dollars a month. We.want such action by the war department postponed until pro vision will have been made for these men by congressional legislation and sixty to ninety days allowed for the formation of the necessary govern ment organizations for carrying out the provisions after such legislation.
 iHeOItllCdlly, tne puDllC nedlIH service is supposed to have an organ zation to take care of these men. As matter of fact, they have not the hospitals to care for the men, nor has sufficient appropriation ever been made by congress for this service. The war department order would throw on public charity the responsi- bility of caring for large number of these sick.
 "A compromise offer was made per hitting men to remain in the hospitals more than twelve months where but two or three months additional treat ment would be required for complete recovery. This showed lack of ap- preciation of the real situation. It is not so much for the care of those con- fined by temporary illness that con- cerns us as to the future of thousands of incurables who would be returned to civil life with inadequate means of support and inability to earn liveli- hood for themselves" Stars and Stripes.

additional taxation or by state bond issues, they have the entire road eith CT built or under contract, from tide water on the Atlantic to the Missis- sippi river. November 12 contracG9 were closed for the largest stretch Of continuous road ever let in the history of the world, and that was for build ing the National Old Trails road en- tirely across Illinois at an average cost of $30,000 per mile. Indiana is rebuilding it, principally of concrete, east and west of Indianapolis. Most of the road, however, in that state is already of very high class.
 Had State Fund Available.
 Now this was accomplished be- cause state highway fund was avail able and it was not necessary to both- CT with local officials and resort to all sorts of persuasive means to get ac- ton.
 West of the Mississippi only two states have accepted federal aid in the spirit in which that law was enacted. to-wit: California and Oregon, and in those states they are building mag nificently. Yet, notwithstanding all these facts, strange as it may seem, some of the western states, and many of the state highway boards, are op- posed to national system of roads on some fancied ground that it might in terfere with states rights or some thing of that kind. This is coming, too, from states where it is absolutely impossible to build state road under the federal aid act, which requires the state, or people, to match dollars with the general government."-Kan- sas City Star.

BRASS BANDS WILL
 NOT BUILD ROADS
 SAYS J. M. LOWE

J. M. Lowe, president of the Ma tional Old Trails Road association, be- lieves there is too much road building to the brass band accompaniment The county boards accept the plaudits of their constituents for obtaining ap- proval of road projects, and then lie down on the job. The federal aid act has proved failure, MT. Lowe be- ieves.
 "The Jefferson City report, in The Paper, was brimful of valuable sug- gestions, especially so as followed up by your editorial of December 24," the veteran good roads booster said.
 Tt is evident that there is some ser ious underlying cause for the absolute failure of road building under the fed eral aid act. Up to the first of last March only forty-five miles of roads, in detached sections, none of them longer than nine miles, had been built in the whole United States. 1 have seen no report of what has been done under this bill in 1919, but it is pretty safe to judge of accomplishments else where when it is stated that it is only asserted twenty-two miles have been built in Missouri, and this includes gravel and other cheap types.
 "In Kansas, only five and one-half miles have been completed. It is as- serted there, too, that twelve miles have been turned over to the public for use, but it will not be asserted in fact that even the five and one-half miles mentioned are in fully com- pleted condition so that the contractor can call down his money. It is also as- serted that Missouri has completed twenty-two miles when, in fact, only $9,O00 has been paid by Uncle Sam, who never pays until the road is com pleted, and this is mighty fine test of just what has been done in road building.
 Distributes the Blame.
 "Where does the fault lie? Some of it undoubtedly is at the Washington end of the line, and some of it perhaps pertains to the state highway boards.
 "After all, it might be we'll to un- derstand just what function these highway boards perform. Up to the present, and especially west of the Mississippi, the chief function seems to be to act as clearing house through which federal and local mon- eys are handled. They have no state road funds, and hence are compelled to wait on the slow action of county commissioners and county courts. And there lies, apprehend, the chief diff ficulty in the whole situation. Even when county and township and road districts have carried bond elections the local authorities have refused to sell the bonds and commence work.
 "They are all ready to go up to the state capital and get the project ap- proved and go home to meet the brass band, and announce what they have accomplished; and the state highway boards, as a rule, are eager to join in the exclamation that there have been so many projects approved

LITTLE BOY BLUFF

The little toy dog is covered with dust,
 But sturdy and staunch he stands And the little toy soldier is red with rust
 And his musket molds in his hands. Time when the little toy dog And the soldier passing fair, And that the time when Little Boy Blue E Kissed them and put them there. "Now, don't you go till come" he said,
 And don't you make any noise!" So toddling off to his trupdle bed He dreamt of the pretty toys, And as he dreaming a angel song
 Awakened our Little Boy Blue- Oh, the years many, the years long, But the little toy friends true Ay faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand, Each in the old place. Awaiting the touch of little hand, The smile of little face. And they wonder waiting these long years through In the dust of the little char What has become of our Little Boy Blue Since he kissed them and put them there
