BUILDING
FEDERAL COMMISSION URGED
Highway Question Concerns Agrieul.
ture, Commerce, Military and :
Social Needs.

"National development and the need
for economy demand the formation OF
a highway policy under federal COM
mission" said George NJ. Graham.
member Of the highways committee.
National Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce, speaking before the senate
committee on post offices and post
roads,
''The economic barrier now con-
fronting us is the lack of adequate
highways. There is urgent need to
build these highways as quickly as
possible, and with the maximum
economy.
Highways should be planned with
consideration OF their relationship to
railway and waterway communication.
The highway question concerns agri-
culture, commerce, the military and
the social needs Of the nation. The
roads program is national in scope
and is related to all departments of
the government.
Highway policy, therefore," Gra-
ham continued, SHOULD be unified I'M
der q federal highway commission di-
rectly responsible to the chief execn-
tive, as is now the policy in state road
administration.
ECONOMY will be served by such
measure rs roads will be with regard
to all the needs of the nation. 1t will
be possible to pay higher salaries than
can now be done under the bureau
system. Millions of dollars are to be
expended on roads, and it is the high
est economy to secure the ablest
brains in the country for the admins
tration of these funds.
Selection Of roads of primary III
terstate Importance and concentration
Of federal funds in conjunction with
state funds On these roads is the firs'
step needed. States should be required
to meet the federal aid as states rath-
er than passing their responsibilities
along to counties as many states do
now. In this way, it will be possible
to have state policies correlated with
the national program. The counties
will benefit from the general inter-
state highway system. and the funds
which the counties formerly used in
conjunction with federal aid can be
devoted to more specifically local pur
poses.
'Maintenance should be provided
for by the states in all cases" Graham
emphasized. "in order that as the pub

If you hit your thumb
with a hammer you
wouldn't blame your
thumb for hurting.
Then why blame your
husband whose nerves
may have been pounded
by coffee, and whose rest
probably has been broken
by the irritation Of the
caffeine it contains?
If you stay awake half
the night you don't feel
any too cheerful.
The caffeine Of coffee
and the them of tea are
known drugs. If their use
is persisted in, sooner or
later the nervous system
may give way.
Then you may have
insomnia, or disturbed
sleep. Your nerves and
tissues will be robbed Of
that stability essential for
normal and happy living.
