SEES NEED OF FEDERAL AID
Road Congress Favors Creation OF
Highway Transportation 5ureau---
Roads Lead to Wealth.

Creation of a permanent national
bureau of transportation, together
with continuance of state organiza-
tions, has been recommended as one
of the most important steps In the
work of construction. Without at
tempting to seize any credit for them
selves, it is. the opinion of highway
officials that such Investigations as
had been undertaken In the several
states Of the Union had disclosed an
immediate economic need for the con-
tinuance of the work which has for
lis basis elimination of waste effort
in transportation, with resultant de-
crease of living costs, as an immedi-
ate development of the vast potential
resources of the nation now lying dor
mant for want of means of convey
ance.
As "a result of the deliberations of
a meeting ia Chicago the committee
went on record as favoring these
points The enactment by congress
of an amendment to the present fed
eral aid road act, which would pro-
vide $5O0,000,000 for work on the
reads of the United States during the
next seven years; the creation of a
federal highway commission of five
skilled engineers who should have
charge of the expenditure of this fund
In conference with the highway com
misioners of the various states; the
construction of a national system of
highways, the location of which is to
be determined by the commission and
the supervision of which is to remain
in charge of the state highway de-
partments, and, finally, changes In the
present federal aid act which would
do away with the restrictions now
limiting federal aid to roads on 70'
per cent of the mileage of which
there is post delivery and of the linn
inltion of $4,000 per mile under fed
eral aid.

to the resources of the country, to-
gether with an enormously stimulated
production of all kinds of supplies, is
a road system which will not only
open up the virgin territories of the
West and South, but which will quick
en- the pulse of trade in the most
congested districts of the East,
where the casual observer might be-
lieve that traffic has been fully devel-
oped. but which close students say
could be geared up to remarkable
extent through efficient use of the
highways.
In Standing by the creation of a
federal road commission, the officials
of the body expressed their belief in
the feeling, now generally prevalent
throughout the United States among
road men, that the time has come
when transportation on the highways
is deserving of more substantial recog-
nition than that accorded it as a
bureau, which, while it has been as
efficient as the limitations of the law
has permitted, would be dignified II
elevated to the rank of commission,
and would make possible representa-
ton of five different districts of the
United States with their diverse needs.
AS for the future of the highways
transport committee, the work already
done by the voluntary organizations
has opened such vast field for re
search in the economic life of the
country that it is believed this work
should be continued as branch nn-
der the proposed road commission by
salaried men who should be experts
In the field, and who would give all of
their time to a close development OF
the problems which the present COM
mittee has thus far only had time to
uncover.

REALLY DESERVING OF PITY
Those Who Allow Themselves to Get
Into the Habit of SeIf-Excuse
Are Unfortunate.

The tendency to self-excuse is typi-
cal of the conceited. They simply will
not see themselves for what they are
persons who have great deal to
learn. And because they will not adj
NIT even to themselves that they need
self-improyement they remain perpet-
ually in need of it.
Are not persons thus conditioned
more deserving of pity than of con-
tempt? Even their monumental self
satisfaction should not make people
laugh at them. Poor souls! Life to
them is game. of blind mans buff,
in which they are forever sit" forever
cropping wildly, but never grasping.
No truer words have been penned
than Ruskin's, "Conceit may puff
man up, but not prop him up" And
how sadly hard it is to convince the
conceited that they are conceited, and
thus save them from the painful penal
ties of conceit.-H. Addington Bruce
