ture in the several States; but, since
Congress has embarked upon a policy
of assisting the States in highway
improvement, wisely, | believe it
can assert wholly becoming infiu-
ence in shaping policy.
with the principle of Federal
participation acceptably established,
probably never to be abandoned, it
is important to exert Federal in
fluence in developing comprehensive
plans looking to the promotion Of
commerce, and apply our expendi-
lures in the surest way to guarantee
a public return for money expended.
Large Federal outlay demands a
Federal voice in. the program of ex-
penditures. Congress can not justify
a mere gift from the Federal purse
to the several States, to be prorated
among countries for road better
ment. Such course will invite
abuses which it were better to guard
against in the beginning.
"The laws governing Federal aid
should be amended and strengthened
The Federal agency of administra-
ton should be elevated to the i'm
portance and vested with authority
comparable to the work before it.
Ard Congress ought to prescribe
conditions to Federal appropriations
which will necessitate a consistent
program of uniformity which will
Justify the Federal outlay.
81 know of nothing more shocking
that the millions of public funds
wasted in improved Highways, wasted
because there is no policy of main
tenance. The neglect is not univer-
sal, but is very near it. There is
nothing the Congress can do more
effectively to end this shocking waste
than conditions all Federal aid on
provisions for maintenance. High
ways, no matter how generous the
outlay for construction, can not be
be maintained without patrol and
constant repair- Such conditions
insisted upon in the grant of FEEDER
al Government against political
abuses, which tend to defeat the
very purposes for which we au-
thorize Federal expenditure.

"The motor car has become an
indispensable instrument in our pO-
litical, social and industrial life
PRESIDENT HARDING.
WASHINGTON, April 16-Essen-
TALLY of the motor vehicle has been
recognized by the President of the
United States.
President Harding, in his first adj
dress to Congress, proclaimed that
the motor car is indispensable in
every phase of American life. After
discussing the problems of the rail-
roads ard the need for reduced rates
to increase traffic, he took up the
question of highway transportation,
expressing complete accord with the
arguments presented to him at a
conference Friday with representa-
tives of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce. On this sub
ject he said:
Transportation over the high
ways is little less important, but
the problems relate to construction
and development, and deserve your
most earnest attention, because we
are laying a foundation for a long
time to come, and the creation is
very difficult to visualize in its great
possibilities.
'The highways are not only feeders
to the railroads and afford relief
from their local burdens, they are
actually lines of motor traffic in in
terstate commerce. They are the
smaller arteries of the larger por-
ton of our commerce, and the motor
car has become an indispensable in
stument- in our political, social, and
industrial life.
"There is begun new era in high
way construction, the outlay for
which runs far into hundreds of
millions of dollars. Bond issues by
road districts, counties, and States
mount to enormous figures, and the
country is facing such an outlay that
it is vital that every effort shall be
directed against waste and unjusti-
fable expenditure.
