BIG BODYBUILDING
PROGRAM AHEAD.

Fifteen to twenty years of building
good roads lie ahead of the United
States. Under the program which
the country has adopted there will be
built during that time 100000 miles
of improved highways, which will
constitute the Federal-aid highway
system and an equal or greater mile
age of State and local roads. When
the great job is done, the transporta-
tion facilities of the country will far
exceed those of any other nation, past
or present, in the world. The high
ways of the ancient Romans, whose
fame has come down through the CEN
turtles, will pale by comparison.
Details of this vast road-building
program are to be placed before the
Highway Education Board at its con-

Inc program is n new one. Up TO
comparatively recent years, road
building in the United States had
been conducted without special re-
gard to a national system. High
ways had been constructed wberc
needed without considering whether
they would link up in the most ef-
fective manner with the whole not
work of roads to be snread over the
Nation. Engineers had sought more
to meet immediate and local demands
than the broader requirements of the
states and Nation.
The present Fcderal-aid road
building program, officials of the bu-
reau state, will contemplate the con-
struction of only such roads as fit
into the National program and con-
tribute to the National system. Atl
the same time the roads will be so |
selected as to serve the most impor-
tant local requirements. With mark
ed notifications, the system adopted
in building the railways of the coun-
try will be borne in mind in the con-
Struction of the country's new high
ways. There will be main lines of
highway communication between CEN
,ers and thousands Of miles of feeder
roads, reaching back into the more
'parsely settled regions and into the
'ich agricultural sections, to tap
areas whose population and products
will flow over the new system.
New roads will be planned and
,uilt-thousands of miles of them
where they will fit in most advantage
'ously with the entire program. The
bureau is continuing its research
work into most efficient methods of
including the character
md wearing power of materials, re-
listing qualities of varying sub-soils,
tc., and has massed a considerable
tore of valuable information. all of
which will be available for the high
way engineer of tomorrow, whom the
'oard is seeking to have educated in
PRACTICAL and modern methods.

KEEPS THEM OUT

There is plenty Of criticism of the present immi-
grafton law, but the simple fact is that it keeps
them out. The closer we draw the restrictions
around the admission of aliens the more frequent
will be the complaints against alleged injustice to
would-be immigrants. 1t is safe to say that no inn
migration law that can be devised will work with
satisfaction to all. The present act sets an arb-
trary figure for each country beyond which the
number of immigrants in any one year cannot 60.
It operates as pretty effective barrier.
