ALL RECEIVE SOME BENEFIT
Good Roads Are Advantageous Alike
to Producer and Consumer
Storage Charges Less.

When the roads Of the great pro-
ducIng zones of this country are I'M
proved, benefits will accrue not only
to producers, but to consumers. When
marketing is distributed throughout
the year. storage charges must decline.
This country is paying at present large
storage prices on foodstuffs. The dis
advantages of freight congestion In the
fall cannot be entirely eliminated In
many places. but good roads Will GER
tainly have marked tendency to dis
tribute hauling over longer periods.
It is reasonable to say, therefore.
that good roads mean that diversified
farming will be encouraged, the area
of profitable production Increased the
opportunity for favorable marketing
improved, and more uniform dlstribu-
ton Of farm products secured.

Be Maintained.

That the present interest in the con-
struction of new highways should not
divert attention from properly MAIN
tanning highways already Improved is
point which the bureau of public
roads, United States department of ag-
riculture. has had occasion to empha-
size many times In recent months, par
ucularly In view of the enormous in
crease In motor vehicle traffic which is
taking place. The bureau recently
completed a compilation of statistics
from all the states of the Union show
Ing that there We're total of 1866, ,446
registered motor cars (includlng motor
cycles and trucks) In the United
States In 1919. This is an increase of
23 per cent, or 1,41s.s20 motor cars
over 1918. Such figures indicate that
the country's highways are being used
far more than In the past, IL is pointed
out, and In consequence added atten-
tion must be given 70 the repair prob
lem. The Increase In the number Of
cars for 1919 over 1918 represents
about 10 per cent more cars than the
total NUMBER registered In the entire
United States for 1913.
Additional use of roads and streets
has. of course, been accompanied by
additional revenue paid to state and
local governments in the form of IL
cense fees, which in nearly all states
are devoted to highway needs. The
registration and license fees for auto
mobiles, trucks, and motor cycles in
use in 1919 totaled S64697, ,255. .5S-an
increase of 20 per cent over 1913. The

him but legislation along the line he
previously suggested is necessary. He
submitted a copy of the bill he desires

Samuel Gompers at the request of
the committee appeared as the first
witness. He said the sedition bills
pending in congress are nothing more
than anti-strike legislation that will
affect all industries, THE main pur-
pose of legislation he added, lis to
prevent cessation of all work. 1t
amounts to putting all workers of the
country under Involuntary serVitude.
