MORE MONEY FOR ALABAMA ROADSIS
 OPT|M|STS' PLAN
On Suggestion of Senator John Rogers, Will Ask Larger Federal Aid
 Appropriation

After hearing Senator John A. Rogers, chairman of the state high way commission. talk good roads and especially suggest that Alabamians encourage their representatives in Congress to work for increase fn the federal aid appropriation for roads. the optimist club yesterday adopted a resolution that the club memorial ize the Alabama senators and con- gressmen to that effect.
 Senator Rogers thinks the federal aid appropriation should be $4,000,- 900 year instead of little over s1,o0o. 900.
 In short talk on good roads. Sem ator Rogers said the automobile had changed the habits and even the thoughts of men and had worked wonders in bringing about acquaint anceship and the spirit of neigh borliness. The steam railroads, he said. are not to be set aside. There Is no substitute for them in long hauls, but last year the automobiles os the country moved one-half of the freight.
 He said the attitude of the people toward the carriers and utilities in general was undergoing and should undergo a change so that team work between the people and the utilities might be developed.
 Drop In Bucket
 The Alabama bond issue of $25,- 900, 900 for roads he declared to/be a mere drop in the bucket. The state has over 50.oo0 miles of roads and federal aid will come in for only 1000 miles. He characterized s ri- diculousiy small the federal appro- priation of little over $1.000. 900 a
