would be no occasion for cloture.
Senator Lenroot inquired how long

thing, because if ever bill Will in

Senator Harrison denied there was a
Democratic 1ilibuster and said he aid
not wonder that the Republicans were
seeking cloture "to force this bill

From The Trbnnes Woshtroton Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The SEN
ate judiciary Committee to-day gave
further consideration to the anti
lynching bill and, after failure to agree
on it, decided to lay the measure aside
for two weeks. No progress was made
toward reporting a modified form of
the House bill or preparing a sub

The probable result of the delibera-

commission to investigate and report.
The Senate Judiciary Committee will
call in the House Judiciary Committee
to discuss the constitutional of the
bill and inquire why the House COM

which shall form within the state a
connected system of intercounty and
intertown roads.
To insure that the type of work
should uniformly fit the requirements
and that the mental alterations of
local opinion should not prevail to
the disadvantage Of the contemplated
work, all the construction in each
state in which the Government is
interested is placed under a single
authority.
The mileage of the system of roads
to be called the Federal Aid System
was adjusted after careful studies
had been made. In general the pri-
mary mileage allowance is the least
that will provide for interstate roads,
north and south and east and west in
. every state of the Union. In some
states the allowance will obviously
permit Of much more than this. The
total Federal Aid System is suffi-
GENTLY liberal to provide for a
network of intercountry- seat roads
throughout the United States The
mileages are determined as certain
percentages of the total highway
mileage of each state. The primary
roads are not to exceed three per cent
Of such mileage, and the combined
primary and secondary roads must
not exceed seven per cent of the total
mileage.
This requirement Of the law clear
ly indicates the desire of the Govern
ment for a systematic. connected,
completed system of roads, nation
wide in plan and adequate in type.
For provision is made that work
shall be substantial, of adequate
width, and that maintenance shall be
so organized as to conserve the in
vestment of public funds.
These results are secured by a re-
quirement that the primary roads
shall be at least eighteen feet in
width unless some specifically mem
toned difficulties are encountered.
Within five years from the passage
of the act, all funds used by the
state to meet its share Of the cost
OF constructing Federal Aid roads
must be state funds and at all times
the funds SO used must be under the
direct control of the State. This re-
quirement must go hand in hand with
the Federal Aid System of roads,
predetermined for construction. This
system will not necessarily satisfy
all local opinion and the construc-
ton of some sections might be SER
iously delayed unless the State as
whole has funds available to build
sections in which local interest is no
more than luke warm. Further, the
Secretary of Agriculture is directed
to expedite the completion of inter
state connections and to make this
injunction of any effect at all there
must be State funds available to meet
Federal funds on the roads so ex-
pedited.
1t appears clear now that the in
terest Of the Government is also to-
ward placing into the hands of the
state authorities the necessary pow
ers to accomplish the construction of
this connected system of roads to
which I have referred. 1t is clear
that the Government desires to deal
directly with the State in contrast
with the counties or towns. Only in
this way is it possible to eliminate
the over-emphatic representations of
local interests in favor of certain pro-
jects. This method enables us to
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1922-09-18

highway constructions; it encourages
it. The heavily travelled roads which
must Of necessity be designed with
considerable width and weight OF
surface, will cost large sums. The
Government attempts to share with
the locality the burden OF cost Of
this unusually expensive construc-
ton.
There is in any system of public
highways a certain military function.
This is certainly clear since the war
In Europe. Though this function is
not primary or even controlling, 1t
has a national aspect, and an oppor-
tunity is invariably given to the War
Department to express its needs in
relation to the proposed highway sys-
TENS suggested by the states. One
of the duties of the Bureau of Public
Roads is to bring the wishes of the
War Department and the states into
accord.
Finally, the national life and hap
piness. national growth and good will
among all classes and groups of our
citizenship depend on free commune
cation among all sections of the
country. We have long recognized the
advantages Of free speech and free
press. They are Of the essence of
American liberty. We are coming to
recognize the equal advantages of
free communication to break down
any tendencies toward provincialism
or sectionalism. Our nation is the
largest in the history of the world
that hasn't disintegrated. We must
see to it that 1t doesn't disintegrate
and this end can be attained only if
all parts of it feel the common urge
Of common purpose, if the opinion
Of every section is responsive to that
of every other section. if all look at
our national life and our national
problems from similar viewpoint.
The development of the public high
ways on a national scale is one of
the practical. essential means of Sc
curing this result.

Submarine Cabling Not
Endangered by Radio

London, Sept 17.-Submarine cabl-
ing is not in danger of being superced-
ed by wireless transmission, IL one
may judge from the activities Of cable
companies since the armistics. One
European company has laid over rs. 900
miles OF ocean cable in the past three
years. and 1t is believed that American
companies have done as much In other
parts Of the sea. 49,
Today the world issencircled by 325.-
600 miles of electrified ropes that
carry messages from man to man.
Fifty years ago there were only 5000
nautical miles Of cable. On the mod
ern routes duplicate. triplicate. and
even sextuplicate cables are provided,
and the entire system Is linked up by
alternative and circuitous lines, SO
that IL interruption occurs on one ar
terry another may be quickly pressed
into use. Land lines that link these
ocean cables into one vast network
constitutes the nervous system of the
civilized world. There is hardly any
spot on the habitable globe which cam
not speedily be reached by a message
over this great arterial system.
