total OF I44O0 miles Of roads Of this

ing results directly attributable to the
adoption Of the federal-aid program
was the creation of adequate state
highway departments in II states which
previously had either no state depart
ment, or departments insufficiently
equipped. Within one year after the
passage of the federaI-aid road act
more constructive state highway Iegis-
lation was placed upon the statute
books than had ever been enacted in
similar period in the history Of the
country.
The insistence OF the government
upon the construction of federal-aId
roads under the supervision of engi-
neers of the state departments has re-
suited In placing a much larger pro-
portion of road work under skilled
direction. In 1915. the year before
the federaI-aid act was passed. only
80 per cent of the money for roads
and bridges built in the United States
was expended under the supervision
OF state highway departments. This
year these departments will exercise
control over fully so per cent of the
large sums that will be spent for road
building.

Z YER since the curtain rose on the
IL drama of fall and winter fash
ions the discerning, practical woman
has found reason to congratulate her
self in the matter of coat styles They
are of simplicity that warrants their
wear everywhere and of a beauty that
makes glad the heart. Some of them
are nothing more than capes with
sleeves added, all of them are cut in
long and almost unbroken lines, ex-
cept those made of fabrics that initiate
furs, which follow the lines OF the
coats made of skins. Velours, duve-
tyn, bolivia. and similar soft and pill
able cloths give grace and comfort
to the coats for this winter, and high
fur collars, that fit snugly. top them
off with the luxury of fur. Occasion
ally there are cuffs of fur, and where
there is no fur at all, very ample
muff1er collars of cloth, or crepe col
lars, provide the same suggestion of
comfort, aided by the fact that coats
are long enough to reach to the bot
tom of the dress skirt.

Danger Of Heavy Taxes

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: think it very desirable that -
considerable reduction be made in the
rate OF taxes on both excess profits and
incomes. believe that these high
taxes have great deal to do with the
high cost Of living, as they are added
to the cost of production and the con-
sumer and general public ultimately
have to pay them
During the war it was all right to
impose these taxes, but now that the
war is over we should go back to a
moderate rate of taxation. Another
effect Of these excessive taxes il that
they take away initiative. The re-
ductlon should be in both excess prof

Preparedness Against Winter

1t is not that blizzard weather
in New York is so terrible as that
it is so rare. The current unpleas-
antness would be only an April
shower to any genuine Northman,
accustomed to such affairs and
properly armed against it. The
trouble with most New Workers is
that they so seldom come face to
face with the severest weather that
they will not or can not treat it
respectfully
Ask any -year-old, properly
equipped with knitted cap with ear
flaps and mackinaw and boots and
leggings and mittens, what he
thinks of swirling snow and three
foot drifts. For him the more the
better. Being perfectly warm and
comfortable, why not? But does
father learn by the example of
son? He does not. He pulls his
derby hat a little further down on
his head, puts Oh pair of arctics
tif his wife insists} and fares forth
to have his ears nipped and his feet
packed in snow and his disposition
inflamed along with his nasal pas
sages.
1t is difficult business to keep
prepared against winter that
hens and haws and refuses to fire
a shot for two or three wears and
then suddenly swoops down at sixty
miles an hour when you least ex-
pect it. But that is exactly what
every New Yorker should do-this
year especially, when good health is
the one best preventive Of "hu"
and worse. Who knows but that
thus fortified New Workers might
even come TO enjoy their blzzards,
New-York tribune., 1920-02-06
MIR. Mondell's Objection

Mr.. Mondell has told the House Of
Representative that the country
cannot now afford to pay the cost of
a system of universal military train
ing. There Is, of course, weight in
the argument that Congress should
not commit itself to new and costly
expansion of its military system at
q juncture at which every nerve is
being strained to cut down wartime
expenditure.
But an argument against the i'm
mediate cost Of universal military
training is not an argument against
the principle Of such training. The
advocates Of the system of obliga-
tory service are not bent primarily
on spending money. They are not
log-rolling for public buildings or
river and harbor allowances. They
are not more interested in getting
money quickly into benevolent local
circulation than they are in the
after-effects of such circulation.
What the friends of universal
military training want to do is to
establish new method of national
defense. The army is being reor-
ganized. The time has come to
choose definitely between a continu-
ance of the obsolete regular army
system and the modern system Of
national service. Experience in the
great war has shown that univer-
sal training may be given under
conditions which are far from
New-York tribune., 1920-02-06
onerous and which are highly bcne-

onerous and which are highly bene-
fetal both to the nation and to the
men who receive the training. The
psychological moment to graft this
service on our old standing army
system is now, when it's advantages
arc clear in the public mind and the
pre-war pacihst clements, discred-
tied, though not cured, still are
too shamefaced to protest openly
against it.
The universal service system does
rot have to be put into effect before
the present fiscal year ends, or even
before the next fiscal year runs out.
Congress will not provide the money
for putting it into effect when it
passes an army reorganization bill.
We shall have more money avail
able in 1921 or 1922 than We have
now. Universal training could start
at quarter speed or at half speed.
The question is, therefore, not one
Of money, but of broad national
policy. If the army is to be reor-
ganized it would be foolish not to
make it over into genuinely mod
eln force. A reorganization which
would omit recognition of the prin-
ciple of universal service would bc
only a stop-gap---a futility from any
other point Of view than that of the
unconverted pacifist.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-06
A Most Wicked Appeal!

So the President is angry because
of the Grey letter, which is tortured
into one that appeals above his head
TO the American people.
Secretary Tumulty is descended
from d people reputed to possess a
sense of humor, and may be pre-
sumed to be aware of the swift an
swer that must leap into every mind.
Manchester speech, demand for the
head of Orlando, the threat to move
the peace conference-when did the
President awake to the enormity of
appealing to a people against its
executive agents?
But, aside from the question of
when the President became a stickler
for diplomatic propriety, it is OBJ
viously unfair to Ambassador Grey
to say that he has appealed to the
American Senate or people. He has
merely written a letter discussing a
question of lively domestic concern to
Great Britain-namely, as to wheth-
er Great Britain should accept the
proposed reservations Is it often
sivc for British citizen, in a pri-
vate capacity, to express himself as
to this? Did not the President on
his stumping tour often refer to the
British attitude toward the treaty?
If it was permissible for him to do
this (and no one challenged this
right, is it not permissible for an
Englishman to participate in discus
sion at home?
The latest outburst Of temper fur
fishes further evidence of how eager
is the Presidents desire to promote
international harmony and how
anxious he is to have a league of
nations.
