highway systems. He has made a

rs an enthusiastic worker for the de-
Seiopment of better road systems.
Let one of the first acts of Con-
gress, when it reconvenes." said Dr.
Johnson, in discussing the road i'm

whole of the ten billion dollars loan
ed to the allies as federal highway

up the interest payments. Take this
money and use it, half to aid the
states to finish the state systems

only means we have to equaliZe con-
ditions in this respect.
The highways at home-when? We

will soon be beyond mud and dust.
We understand the attractions be-
yond the gates where there's pave
ment everywhere. But we have lived
and moved and had our being so
long right here in the United States,
that. however strong the attraction
on the other side, we don't want to
have some use of roads built firmly
right here on good old United States.
So we face toward Europe and say:
Friends, that's all right about the
slate and the sponge. but forget it,;
we are SO far behind you in high

careful in money matters. Just send
along the interest and don't worry
about the principal

Then we face our Capitol and We
say to our statesmen: The over
turn was not for political reasons,
but for business reasons. Now that
we have finished the job overseas,
the next big job is for US to get the
United States out of the mud.
Tighten the belt and go to it the
way you went at It to win the war.

States Must Contribute.
States are required to meet federal
funds as state units instead Of being al
lowed to pass their apportionment on to
the counties, thus draining the latter Of
their resources as in the past. Coinci-
dentally county funds are released for
use in the construction of farm-to-
market roads of lesser Importance
while the nation and states are per-
mittcd to use their funds for the main
market highways.
A new formula is introduced in the
case of those states having more than
5 per cent of their total area in un-
appropriated public lands, these states
no longer being required to meet fed
eral funds on a fifty-fifty basis. al
though the ratio and amount of fed
eral funds appropriated to such states
remains unchanged.
In drawing his measure Senator
Townsend had before him President
Hardings message to Congress. and
accordingly, the bill contains all OF
the recomme ndations of the chief
executive. Because of this fact
and because Of Senator Townsend S
position. the bill is therefore con-
sidered as an administration measure.
Upkeep Of Roads.
This statement is particularly true
Of the sections relating to mainte-
nance. where drastic provisions have
been written in, requiring the states
to insure government expenditures
against loss through inadequate up
keep.
In states where primary roads Of
interstate Importance have been COM
pleted the commission is directed to
apply the states apportionment of ma
tional funds to co-ordinating or cor
relating highways.
In the definition of interstate roads
the commission is directed to give
first consideration to those highways
meeting the agricultural, commercial.
postal and military needs Of the ma
ton.
The principles written into the
measure, have already been Endorsed
in part or in full by practically every
large national organization which
for years has been interested in
highway development in this coun-
try.

thus travel with safety and comfort

Requesting Adequate Highway Program, Adopted
by the Southern Commercial CONGRESS

Nationwide demands for a series of
transcontinental road systems to link
the states closer together and at the
same time provide a ready and quick
means of mobiliZing forces for the
national defense and for commercial
expansion are to be made upon Con-
gress. Chambers of commerce and
other organizations the country over
are preparing to send to Congress the
memorial recently adopted by the
Southern Commercial Congress in its
annual convention, and printed here.
The nation learned in the fighting
overseas of the Importance of good
roads. for the European powers in
this respect are away ahead of the
United States. The suggestion which
is expected to be carried from the
nationwide memorials, is that Con-
gress set aside the whole of the war
loans to the allies as national high
way fund.
Will Unite Efforts.
Highway organizations also will
concentrate their efforts on the bill
recently introduced in Congress by
Senator Townsend, to be known as
the federal highway act. This act
provides for the formation of post
ROADS and federal highway commits
sion. This commission would be re-
"r'red to establish an interstate sys
tenn of highways, composed of pri-
> .ht..s-->I. roads which would,
by the host practicable routes, and
with due consideration for the agri-
cultural, commercial, postal and mill
tary needs of the nation, afford in
gress into and egress from each state
and the District of Columbia. Such
a system. according to the measure,
as introduced, would include high
ways to and from important water
ports and highways connecting at
the border with the main highways in
countries adjoining the United States.
All the road activities of the De-
partment of Agriculture and the
Council of National Defense would
be turned into this commission. which
would consist of five members. The
measure calls for an appropriation
of 100000. 900 each for the fiscal
years ending June 80. 1922 and 1923.

WOODBRIDGE. Oct. 27.-Interest

conclude the hearing within that
time, but in response to the invita-
lions extended by Congressman APP
pIeby to state and government Of
ficials. prominent citizens of New

so many witnesses appeared asking
to be heard. that the hearing con-
sumed the entire day.
So much interest was manifested
by the committee in the proposed
legislation hat it was decided TO
give another hearing on the bill two
or three weeks later, when additional
witnesses could be heard.
In presenting the matter al the
opening of the hearing and urging
the necessity for the immediate en-
actment of legislation of this char

from three principal standpoints.
viz: the increasing fire hazard Great
