Effect Of Amendments Passed Last
February ls Shown In Report
of Secretary Houston.

Amendments to the federal aid road
act passed last February have greatly
facilitated the work of putting the
country on a good roads basis. In the
opinion of David r. Houston. secretary
of agriculture. These amendments. In
brief, increase from $4,000 20 $4,000
per mile the amount of federal funds
that may be expended by one road and
considerably broaden the definition Of
what constitutes rural post road. The
act as 1t now stands. says Secretary
Houston In his annual report. places
only three limitations on the type of
road which may be built. as fol-
lows:
THAT the roads shall be 'substan-
tlal In character This means that the
road must be so constructed that 1t
will carry the prospective traffic with
such maintenance expenses that the
total annual charges win represent
reasonable expenditure for the public

the law requires them, or their civil
SUBDIVISIONS, as prerequisite to re-
ceiving further funds, TO maintain
properly all roads built with federal
aid. There is nothing in the law which
restricts types of construction between
narrower limits than those established
by sound finance and good engineering
practice.
THAT the amount contributed from
the federal treasury is connected with

a matter of fact, our national parks excel in SUI
preme scenic quality and variety the combined &C
cessibile scenery of the rest of the world.
The national park situation is still very far from
being satisfactory according to the views OF the
unofficial leaders of the national park movement
Congress has settled national park policy. Poll
tics is still a large factor in determining the es-
adjustment of national parks. There is no
standardization Of national park acts. Congress
appropriates annually for each park separately,
with the result of unsatisfactory allotment of
funds Nevertheless a lot has been accomplished
under Secretary Lane And here are some of the
things that have been brought about:
The passage of an act in 1916 establishing the
national park service the ninth bureau of the
interior department. This probably the most
important piece of national park legislation since
the national park system was begun by the crea-
ton of the Yellowstone National park in 1872
the first national park of the world. 1t provides
the machinery for the administration, protection
and development of the national parks. The act
sets forth that the service shall promote and regu
late the of the national parks by such means
and measures conform to their fundamental pur-
pose, (which purpose is to conserve the scenery
and the natural and historic objects and the wild
life therein and to provide for the enjoyment Of
the same In such manner and by such means
will leave them unimpared for the enjoyment Of
future generations"
statement of National Park Policy" This pol
icy is based on three broad principles First, that
the national parks must be maintained In absolute
Iy unimpared form for the of future genera
lions as well as those of own time; second
that they be set apart for the use. observation
health and pleasure of the people; and third, that
the national interest must dictate all decisions af
fecting public private enterprise in the parks"
AS to the establishment of national parks
the statement lays down these principles: I'm
studying park projects you should seek to find
scenery of supreme and distinctive quality or some
natural feature extraordinary unique as to
be of national interest and Importance. . The
national park system constituted should
not be lowered In standard dignity and prestige by
the inclusion OF areas which express in less than
the highest terms the particular class or kind of
exhibit which they represent"
Seven national parks have been established as
follows:
Rocky mountain (1915) in Colorado 1903 square
miles of the Colorado Rockies on either side Of the
continental divide
Hawaii Q916), 118 square miles in the Hawaiian
islands, including the volcanoes Of Mauna Loa and
Kilauea on Hawaii and Haleakala on Maui.
Lassen Volcanic (1916). In California. 124 square
miles, including Lassen peak, the only active vol
cano In the United States proper.
