Intentionally an awkward situa-

unintentionally an awkward situa
ton.
The President has let it be known
that he will ask the chairman of the
shipping board, the secretary of the
Treasury, the secretary of commerce,
the chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the chairman
of the Senate and House COMPRESSION
al committees to discuss the question
of proposed policy.
This announcement has led to con-
siderable speculation as to what au-
thority the various bodies which are
to be represented on the committee
have in shaping the administrations
shipping policy. Under the present
law, the shipping board is the crea.
ture of Congress and is vested with
certain powers. The President can
appoint the members Of the board but
only indirectly does he have any in
fluence over the members. Mr..
Harding enjoyed close personal rela-
tions with the shipping board men,
bership because he was endeavoring
to persuade Congress to pass new
legislation and he submitted the policy
Of subsidy as urged by the board. But
strictly speaking Mr.. Harding didn't
have any authority over the acts of
the board. He met with the board
when it decided on the plan which
now is before President Coolidge for
Awkward Situation For Board.
All this becomes pertinent just now
because if the special committee APP
pointed by President Coolidge should
attempt to reach different conclusions
than those already reached by the.
board it would be necessary
to convince the board that it must
reverse itself before any different
policy can be sanctioned. The pres
emit shipping board adopted the pro-

PENNSYLVANIA WANTS
$10O, ,oOo, GOO FOR ROADS
Amending Constitution Only Way
To Get 1t.

The constitution Of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania contains, IN
section four, of article nine, drastic
regulation regarding the State going
into debt. The section reads:
mo debt shall be created by or on
behalf of the State, except to supply
casual deficiencies of revenue, repel
invasion, Suppress insurrection, defend
the State in war; or to pay existing
debt; and the debt created to supply
deficiencies in revenue shall never eN-
ceed, in the aggregate at any one time
one million dollars: Provided, how
ever. That the General Assembly. IRE
spective of any debt, may authorize
the State to issue bonds, to the amount
of fifty millions of dollars. for the
purpose of improving and rebuilding
the highways of the Commonwealth.
At the November election voters are
to be given a chance to vote yes or
mo" on an amendment increasing the
amount from the above quoted fifty
millions to one hundred millions of
dollars.
In 1918 the voters gave the first
S5OOOO,000 bond issue a majority OF
GOE,UyUs L lUCL IlO4Cg AAelo bSN4 t'iSSAAS'
1t pulled a great part Of Pennsylva-
mia out of the mud. The new bond is
sue will build many additional hun
dreds of miles Of durable highways.
If the voters approve this new bond
issue no time will be lost in getting
the work started, because the last leg
islature passed a law detailing the
procedure to be following in selling
the bonds. Works will be resumed in
early spring.
It is hoped that partly lines will be
obliterated in the campaign to give
Pennsylvania the best highway system
in America.
There are in the State highway sys-
TEN 10,925 miles of roads, Of which
SPIT miles are improved, and S,O46
miles unimproved. The first S5O0CO,
900 bond issue did much, but much
work remains to be done-and there
is no money to do it unless another
bond issue is authorized.

EFFECT OF GOOD ROADS
ON RAIL AND WATER
Reduction of Freight Rates Follow
Good Roads.

The United States operates 259,OOO
miles of railways, almost 10000 miles
of interl1rban electric railroads, and
$4,000 miles of inland waterways and
canals. All of these transport facili-
ties depend directly and entirely upon
a certain mileage of good roads, with
ont which they could not function.
The total good road mileage in the
limited States is about 100000 miles.
The total road mileage is nearly three
million. If the three million were as
good as the three hundred tnousand,
what would it mean to the other
means of transportation?
First, it would mean reduction Oh
freight rates on steam lines, because
the freight rate is product OF the
short haul (Which is eXpenslve), ana
the long haul (Which is profit making
for the railroad). Cut out the eXpen-
sive short haul, and the profit making
long haul could make the same profit
at less cost.
Second, it would mean a greatly IN
creased use of waterways, which
would force new competition on the
railroads, again decreasing freights.
Third, it would make for stability OF
traffic, because the release of thou
sands of freight cars from short hauls
would mean a greater ease of getting
cars for the seasonal demands; fruit,
grain, coal.
With economic advantages such as
these, it is easy to understand why the
National Government thinks is neces-
sary to engage in fostering road de-
velopment program, if difficult to COM
prehend why it uses so clumsy
means as Federal aid, when direct ac-
tion, such as built the Panama Canal
is available.

At open car cost the Coach combines all closed
car comforts with the long-lasting reliability and
performance of the famous Essex chassis.
And except for the Coach, moderate-priced closed
cars always mean low-priced chassis.
In no other type of closed car-the Coach is alone
in that distincton-can you get so much in closed

within hundreds Of dollars of its price.
