PASSAGE OF R0ADSBILL TO
CAUSEPR0MPTL PTLAbOR DEMAND
President Signs $75O0O000 Measure Which Will Start
Building Immediately Senator Townsend
Wins Fight for Highways

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 1e.-Presi-
dent Harding's signing OF the highway,
bill releases $I5,o00,000 for federal-aid
roads. Many states have been await
ing the appropriation of federal funds
before launching on their highway
programs. Immediate building is ex-
pected to start in many quarters with
consequent Improvement In employ
ment conditions.
Senator Charles l.. Townsend has
been leading the campaign for the pas
sage of this act which Incorporates
most OF the principles for which he has
been fighting. Primarily 1t demands
that portion of the government
funds be set aside for upkeep, so that
the original investment will not be al
lowed to deteriorate. Provision is also
made for allocating a percentage Of
the funds for interstate highways.
Special appropria tiops are made Tor
forest roads and trails. The Senator is
chairman OF the senate committee on
post offices and post roads.
1t has always been my position
Senator Townsend says In comment
ing on the bill, that the principle oi
federal particpations In the construc-
tion of certain roads should be accept
ed as automatic. In my original bill
which provided for "a federal highwa,
commission to administer federal AZ
propria tons ana deal with blghNay
problems. I provided that federal
money should DO expended only upon
Interstate roads. With the completion
of the connecting backbone system
the federal money then could have
been used 10 construct the ribs branch
ing cut thru the counties.
The law recently enacted while pro-
yiding that federal money shall be cx-
pended only upon a ~ stom consisting
of per cent of the total road mileage
within the state, nevertheless restricts
D. OF that system to roads iH1a rstate
in character. and with which must
connect or correlate the remaining Al
OF tho system consisting OF secondary
or intercounty roads. However. %
per cent of tho federal aid allotted to
each state must be ca pended upon the
Interstate roads In the state system.
but tho entire allotment OF federal
money to any state may be expended
upon this type Of road at the discro-
lion OF the particular state highway
department..
The fact that In the future all fed
eral appropria tions must be expended
under the direct control of the state
highway departments, with the ap-
proyal OF the sccretary of'agriculturc.
seems TO ctfcctusll. eliminate tho
possibility OF local politics entering
Into road problems. I have always
objected to the taxing of people OF
one state for local or political benefits
to another. II win no longer be pos
sible In certain states for rich coun-
ties to match practically all of the
federal aid allotted thus dcpriving the
poorer counties OF their share in road

aud a drive is being planned for next

viii be no end to this one. Il is prom
ised. for its promoters regard IT as
unwisc for tho railroads. to cease even

Many railroads will follow tho plan
inaugurated by tho Baltimore and
Ohio OF watching the grade crossings
to observc the motorists who fail TO
heed the warnings to be careful.
An estimate made by the Baltimore

which in the past has boon such
crying need is now provided for with
respect to all roads upon which federal
money has been expended.
THE labor necessary in road con-
struction and maintenance must have
its present effect in alleviating to
some extent the Unemployment situa-
tion. and with a connected system of
highways which We are hopeful will
be constructed. much OF the terror in
the event OF a. railroad paralysis will
have been removed.
Il am confident that with the co
operation between the Bureau OF Pub
lie Roads and the s.veral state high
way departments which is SO essential,
great strides In highway construction
will be made. There IS ample power
in the law TO ultimately secure the
results which tho friends of good roads
have SO long striven for. regard
this new law an one OF the most pro-
gresslve steps looking toward Internal
