Good Roads Prospects

I the recent primary campaign both can

nor stood opposed to a bond issue for good
roads, while firmly advocating the improve
ment Of Nirginia's highway system. That
stand on the part of the candidates was
taken because they opposed any increase in
taxation to a people already overburdened.
and for the further reason that each be-
licvcd the good roads program could be
completed within IL reasonable time with
out the necessity OF mourning an added
bonded debt The next Governor, f. Lee
Trinkle. is known as good roads man,
committed to adequate State highway
system. and when he comes into Office one
of his first and greatest problems will be
to devise ways and means TO obtain them.
Pessimistic news comes from Washington.
and If the forecasts of no more Federal aid
prove well founded, the good roads situa-
ton in Virginia will become extremely
acute and perreXing 1t may, indeed, force
change OF view the part Of the new
Governor, as well as on the part OF incom-
ing legislators who have frowned upon any
suggestion Of the necessity of bonds. The
fact is that all of Nirgnia's good roads
plans have been prcdicated upon the Fed
eral aid Of dollar for dollar. Now that the
economy frenzy has set in upon the Repub-
lican Congress and. in addition, the North
crn States already laced and interlaccd
with good roads, are finding fault with the
Federal-aid plan on the ground that it forces
them to pay taxes for the benefit of the
South. ii is dangerously probable that 1a22
will the individual States thrown upon
their own resources to the inevitable dis
location of their building schedules. Nir-
ginia. il rs pointed out, will have only
S3,30G,000 TO spend on road construction
in that year. hardly drop in the bucket
compared with what is needed, even in face
OF more favorable costs of labor and mate
rails
That is the situation which is likely to
confront the Legislature A serious hitch
or partial cessation Of road building would
be disastrous to the State, already disgraced
by its miserable roads. The Assembly will
realize that, of course, and will seek earn
cstly To find way out of the difficulty. If
the next Governor can present practicable
plan to build the needed roads without
bonds or increased taxation, his reputation
as Il business Governor will be instantly
established. But from this distance il be.
gins TO seem an impossible proposition that
he is asked to accomplish. After all, good
roads are worth to the State all they cost.
long as they are built honestly. and we
do not believe that many Virginians will
object to paying within reason for the bene-
fits they will bring.

Court of the United States April 10.

warden the Supreme Court held that
the Federal game laws were enforce
able In state whose game laws con-
fiicted with the migratory bird treaty
act. The court defined the situation
as follows: Here n national interest
or very nearly the first magnitude
Is involved. 1t can be protected only
by national action in concert with
that of another power. The subject
matter is only transitorily within the
state and has no permanent habitat
therein. But for the treaty and tho
statute. there soon might be no birds
for any power to deal with. We see
nothing in the Constitution that com.
peIs the government to sit by while
a food supply Is cut off and the pro-
tcctors of our forests and our crops
are destroyed. IT is not sufficient to
rely upon the States. The reliance
is vain. and wcrc 1t otherwise the
question is whether the United States
is forbidden TO act. We are of opin-
ion that the treaty and statute must
be upheld"
