Under this legislation. however, It was.
not possible Immediately to proefed
toward building roads under this co -oper-
alive plan. 1t was necessary. in the first
place that the States should create the
proper highway departments to cooperate
With the Federal Government and that, In
the second place. they should provide Che
fund.-. Naturally this could not be hope
overnight, So Ii happened that the spring
of 1917 cams. while the States were engaged
in these preliminary arrangements. and with
it. came the entrance of the United States
into the war and With that entrance an
abandonment Of many other activities.
The war created a great demand for road
engineers in the army which robbed the
movement Of some Of its energetic spirits.
Road building, particularly new road build
ing was regarded as non essential So, it
happened that just at the time when the
Federal Government and the States were
ready to try their first ambitious CO opera
tive experiment the war interviewed and
virtually nothing was done.
Two years passed, and with the signing
of the armistice there came that dramatic

Donald, chief Of the Bureau Of Public
Road. These vihons may become reality
By an unfolding process that Is so gradua!
that those in whose very presence the
miracle happens may not be aware Of 1t.
There IL, for example, the vision Of q

roads enthusiast is just now being made q
reality. With the passing Of a few years
It win be as though some magician waved
his hand and, 10 in the place Of the
troubled thoroughfares of the past, the
whole map Of the nation will be inter
woven with the network Of highways that

In that plan for cooperative develop

mileage Of that State. The money Il to
be distributed among the several States a.
follows: One third Of It shall be distributed
in the ratio which the area Of each State
bears to the total area Of all the States
one-third Of it shall be distributed in the
ratio which the population of each State
bears to the total population Of all the
States, and one-third shall be distributed
in the ratio which the mileage of rural
delivery and star routes in each State bears
to the total mileage Of rural delivery and
star routes in all the States. Thus does
it work out that a State With a great area,
yet with a small population, like Nevada,
is compensated because Of its area, and
thus does 1t work out that State with q
somewhat dense population yet q small area.
Ike Massachusetts,, receives a fair proper
ten because Of its population.
WrTH this recent rewriting Of the
w Federal Highway Act a national road
policy 10 regarded a. having taken definite
form. Congress has thus indicated its inten-
ton to continue cooperation with the
States In the development Of good roads on
4 basis somewhat like that under which we
are now operating. 1t would seem reason
able to expect appropriations from year to
year on a basis comparable with those Of
the present year until the road system is laid
down and the vinop Is q reality.
Now that the scheme Of good roads is
in the process Of being worked out, one can
run back over the past and review the
trying conditions under which this growth
was attained somewhat philoSophically. A

also grown up almost without our known.
1t. The condition is better shown in fig
ures than otherwise.
Back in 1914 there were registered In
the United States 1 ZOO 900 motor vehicles.
During the first half of 1921 there were
registered n-'the United States 9,25o, O00s
such vehicles. Thus is It shown z that
the increase in motor vehicles in
each Of the last six years has, every
twelve months, amounted to more than n
million. The increase in the number Of
vehicles each year has been almost as great
as the entire number Of such vehicles In
existence in the United States in 1914 This
scurry Of the people Of the United States
to get aboard motor driven vehicles has been
one OF the most rapid and remarkable
changes In its method Of transportation In
all its history.
Back in 1914 the motortruck was almost
unknown. 1t had just begun to appear on
our streets and highways. 1t was during
the war that it madesits phenomenally rapid
strides in development. It was during tn.

fact that the great mass of the American
people accepted their bad roads as an exist
ing condition and saw little possibility Of
getting away from them. The roads were
no worse than they had been always and
the masses Of the people did not sufficiently
appreciate the advantages Of better roads
to arise and demand them. 1t required
decades Of constant agitation and demon
stration on the part Of the good roads enthu-
siasts, the Government Bureau Of Public
Roads and such agencies as the American
Association of State Highway OfRcials to
develop sufficient interest to make it possible
to put through a plan in any way compare
bic with that Of the Federal Highway Act
as it now exists. In the meantime, how
ever, the Government was trying out such
experiments in the Smith Hughes vocational
education plan and the Smith Lever agricul-
tural extension plan, in both of which the
Federal Government co-operated with the
State Government as to financing and ad-
ministration. These two ventures In Coop

thorouEhtare within striking distance Of

his vehicle upon a well nigh bumpless road
that will lead him within striking distance
Of any other man in the Nation. The basis
is laid, the funds are being provided, the
work is in progress and within a few years
all these roads will be a reality"
couldn't help stopping for a moment
to think Of the size of the job Of which
this man was in charge. 1t is admitted
that ten or fifteen years will be required
TO finish the Job Of laying down the network
Of highways to which the Government has
set its hand and which, It should be under
stood, is entirely aside from State and
county projects. Already $3.50, 000, 900 have
been appropriated for it by the Federal
Government, which amount Is to be
matched by the States. 1t is certain that
It will require seventy or eighty millions
q year for at least ten years and probably
fifteen, or, probably, a billion more. This
makes a total of 81, $50 900 900. 1t Is the
habit to measure all such tasks by that OF
completing the Panama lanai, so we may
take that as a gauge and recall that $373,-
900 900 was spent on It, or a little more
than one fourth what Is here to be laid
out by the Federal Government alone. That
amount was spent in ten years or at
rate about half as fast as is being spent
By the Government on this roads program.
Yet one heard much Of Cocktails and one
hears little Of this man Macdonald.
This road builder for the Government was
born in 4 log cabin in the mountains Of
Colorado, up in the Leadyille country, two
miles above the sea, but little more than
forty years ago. He went down to Ames,
Iowa, where Secretaries Of Agriculture
come from, for his schooling. There he
studied engineering and when he was
through went to building roads for the State
of Iowa, which certainly needed them. He
kept on at roads in that State as it,
highway engineer until he came to the
Federal Job some two years ago.
THE stocky type Of scotchman is Mac
i Donald, bit forid and not over sandy.
He talks deliberately, refuses to be hurried,
gives the impression Of being a man who
is likely to finish any job he tackles. It IL
strange that one has not heard more Of
this man and his tasks.
"One Of the constructive Accomplishments
of the Congress which labored through the
summer and fall which is past" he said

which has the effect of working out of all
that has gone before a definite govern

situation Of 1919, when the Government
thought that it faced an era Of great unem-
ployment, and the necessity for doing
everything that was possible toward pro-
yiding work for the men released from the
army and war industries. 1t was then that
the Government provided the unprecedented
appropriation of 5000 ,000, 900 to be e1-
pended in highway construction upon the
basis Of CO operation between the Federal
Government and the States that had been
laid down three years earlier. Again the
unexpected happened. and there was an era
OF industrial activity and high wages where
low wages and unemployment had been e1-
pected. There developed also a transpor
tation situation which made it very difficult
and expensive TO get road materials de-
livered. Many contracts were let, but few
of them were executed because of these
difficulties, and the majority were carried
over into 1920. In 1920 much road work
actually got under way. In the contracts
in which the Federal Government co -oper
ated something like 800 900 900 was spent
as its share of the payments.
In the first eight months of 1921 addi-
tional contracts were let in which
$45 ,000, 900 was its part of the liability. On
November J. 1921. there were contracts in
existence for public roads amounting to
