The bigger the body, the slower
the movement. The greater the
movement must be, the longer 1t
takes to get -nder way.
The United States is large body,
almost entirely surrounded by good
motor cars and poor roads. 1t is
moving slowly, but surely towards a
condition when it will have only
good roads. The movement is slow
because the body is so large, and
has so many heads-11O,OOO,O0 OF
them.
Improving our almost three mil
hon miles of highways is huge
task. The movement is enormous.
Therefore, it takes time to get under
way. = 1t is like a monster freight
train, starting up grade, requiring
many locomotives to begin the travel
and slowly getting up speed. But
once the train is in motion, it has
an enormous force for going ahead
one locomotive can keep it moving
and it is difficult to stop!
So will it be with our road build
ing program; slowly but surely the
movement for better roads than Fed
eral aid can give, for more roads
than States alone can build, is gath
ering momentum. When it gets UP
speed, nothing can stop it.
Meanwhile the individual who
needs good road and needs. it now
must not lose courage. 1t was said
the Panama Canal couldn't be built
in a generation. 1t was built in 9
few short years. At the rate we
are at present building Federal aid
roads it will take some hundred and
fifty or two hundred years to i'm
prove our system. All of us will be
very dead before that movement is
well started. The answer is to
change the movement, to work for
to educate for, vote for, nationa
highways, built by and maintained
by the National Government; give
this Nation two hundred thousand
miles of such roads (Which could
with ease be built in period OF
five years., and the rest of the roads
will be improved in even less time
by States, counties, and towns
which will refuse to be kept from
the benefits of such national road
system, when all that they need tC
do to enjoy it, is to connect with
it.
