the machine was in gear when Rich

FEDERAL AID ROAD BUILDING
 REACHES HIGH MARK IN Isee,

Federal-ah highways constructed last year cost more than double the average amount spent annually for 10 years in building the Panama Canal. The cost of the work completed during the fiscal year of 1920, including the amount paid by the States, totaled ap- proximately $SO,O00.OO
 The construction of the canal is re- garded the world over as record breaking achievement in respect to the dispatch with which it was carried out. The cost, however, was ony $373, ,0OO, 900 and 1O-year periDd was required to complete 1t, the average rate of expen- diture being only $37,OOO,OO0 year.
 Comparing the magnitude of the Fed eral-aid program with the entire high way program Of the United States, the significance of Federal aid is readily seen. Federal money allotted to pro- jects actually under construction at the end of the fiscal year 1920. namely, $1O3, ,925 ,O94, was only slightly less than the total expenditure of $106, S61 ,O53 from State funds for highway con- struction during the calendar year 1919. In spite of untoward economic condi- tions. the amount of Federal-aid busi- ness handled, as represented in 1920 by the number of projects, was ap- proximately 25 per cent greater during the single year than all previous work done under the act since 1916.

New Postal Policy.
Some decision in regard to a policy
for the appointment of first, second
and third class postmasters will prob
ably be reached by Postmaster Gen
eral Hays and Pres. Harding before
congress convenes in special session
next month. Fourth class postmasters
are civil service employees and an act
of congress provides that competitive
examinations shall be held for the ap-
pointment of such postmaSters. First
second and third class postmasters
have always been appointed on the
recommendation of members of the

so in what particular and to what
degree? "
3. Should the order be revoked?
