earnest.
In sense the legislative mind at
Washington seems to be approaching
the, present phase of economic prob.
lens somewhat in spirit of weari-
ness. twill we ever get anything
really fnished?" is, a question which
seems to express their feelings, since
so many problems. like the proverbial
cat, keep coming back.
But one fact seems to be making
itself very clear, and that is that since
the public highway Is the first lap be-
tween the producer and consumer, the,
logical place to begin cutting down liv-
ing costs is by eliminating permanently
the time consuming and fuel-wastfng
roads: To accomplish this purpose
the construction Of national high
way system as necessary and logical
connection Will, state and county sys-
tens is being looked upon with in
creased favor.

favor of good roads legislation, am
in favor of an eight hour day for

of asking the state to take such steps
as are necessary to form state park

will endeavor to secure needed ap-
preparations for the continuance of

While Il Is admitted that the rail-

in official circles.
Public discussion of high-cost prob

into the country road mt two points
recently. Tho first point touched was
that the public highway is potential

and that with a national system Of

anticipated far beyond comprehension,
says Chicago Tribune. Its advocates
assert that the motortruck as; It ap-

vocates Of national highway system,
