UNIFORM STATE LAWS.

Governor Hardee of Florida, in adj
vocating uniform marriage and divorce
!. laws among the, states. urged that in
stead of depending too much on the ma
tional government the states should
adopt uniform laws on many matters of
Interstate interest but not primarily of
federal concern.
This belief has been expressed in va
rious ways by different leaders inlrecent
years. The federal government has been
overwhelmed of late with legislation and
demands for legislation ca subjects
which the states could handle for them
selves. There has been complaint of
usurpation of authority on the part of
the national government and of too much
Capitalization. State executives, in oc-
casiondl instances. have been accused
Of throwing up their hands 100 quickly
and calling for federal help when faced
with difficult situations.
Putting through uniform state laws
on such matters as marriage and divorce.

ROAD PROGRESS.

During 1922 there were 10000 miles
of roads built in this country. half with
government aid. Those roads, end to
end, would reach about seven times
across the continent. As il is. they
make a network of fine thoroughfares
stretching in every direction.
Next year the program may be even
more extensive. 1t should be. for in
spite of the progress that has been made,
the percentage of unimproved highways
is still larger than of the improved. If
higher standards of quality keep pace
with quantity. and repairs and up-kcep
are given their full share of attention.
in a little while the vehicle-wrecking
type of road viii have vanished from
America. But unless soundnesS as well
as mileage is the constant objective, by
the time tomorrow's roads are built, to-
days will discount all our gain.
