The Nation, indeed, has no business
helping States build roads; road
building is for the State and the coun
ty''
The sentence is quoted from a con-
temporary We should, perhaps, be
journalistically polite and say "es-
teemed contemporary only we cannot
esteem any paper which states as an
axiom a concept not proved or of com
mon knowledge.
Why has the Nation mo business
helping States?" Why is road build
ing .'for the State and county?" Who
ordained that the National Govern
men, which is all of us, should not
help several groups of us, which are
the States, to solve their problems
Who made the law that the Nation
shouldn't build it's own roads?
There is much question in many
minds as to the ACCESSIBILITY of FEEDER
al aid for road building; whether the
policy Of he Nation aiding the States
to build loads will work, in the long
run, to any better advantage than that
of the States aiding the counties to
build roads, is yet to be demonstrated
But we can see no reason for saying
the Nation s'has nc business" to do
so, if it is it's best judgment that it
should
AS for road building being properly
a State or county function, the gov
eminent has already made rail and
water transportation a matter of ma
tional concern. The Nation, not the
States, subsidized the first transcon-
tinental railroads, to get them built.
The Nation, not the States, improves
our waterways. The Nation, not the
States, built the Panama Canal The
great beauty spots of the continent
are national not State parks. Rail
roads, waterways, Panama Canal,
parks, are for the Nation, built by
or with the assistance of the Nation
Transportation and some of it's OBJ
jectives are national concerns. Why
eliminate roads from the list?
That this Nation will eventually
build a national system of national
highways is as inevitable as was the
canal. 1t is merely question of when
and how-with where" more easily
determined than either of the others.
But the when" is not so hard to an
swer; the United States of America
will build, own, control and forever
maintain its basic trunk line system
of national highways, thus bringing
good roads everywhere, when, and not
until when, the people of the United
states demand it.
And if there is any truth in signs
that demand is now being made and
more and more strongly every year.

SURPLUS BUILDING ROADS

The Congressional enactment that
surplus war material, useful in the
construction of roads, be given to the
several states for that purpose, has
worked out to such good effect that
more than s3OO,O00,OOO worth of
trucks, tractors, shoyels, graders, dig
cling machinery, concrete mixers, and
construction. are now actively at work
in the several states carrying out the
policy of Congress to further road
building by the resources of the Ma
ton as well as those of the states.
Proponents of the idea that the pre-
sent Federal Aid plan, by which the
Government gives money to the states
to match their appropriations for road
building, is bat the forerunner of the
day when the National Government
will build. own, control and forever
maintain backbone system of ma
tional highways, find in this coopera
ton Of the National Government but
another reason for the Nation to take
over the building of from 100000 to
100000 main north and south and east
and west highways.
1t is contended by friends of this
idea in Congress that if the Nation
can give valuable property to the
states to build roads, and give nation
al money to the states to help them
build roads, there is neither moral
legal, economic or political reason
why the Nation can not give the whole
cost of a main trunk line system to
the states, thus nationally binding the
states, together in closer brother
hood for the better unity and preser-
walton of the whole body polite.

REACHED HIGHEST MARK

Swinging into its big production pro
gram, the Ford Motor Company on
Wednesday, March 18th, reached the
highest mark in its history when its
domestic assembly plants produced a
total Of 1856 cars and trucks.
This record-breaking figure does not
include the daily output of 500 cars
and trucks for export, nor the produc
ton of the Manchester England, and
Ford of Canada plants, which manu-
facture most of their products.
The new production is of especial
significance as it indicates the enor-
nous demand being made throughout
the country for Ford cars and trucks
and the company's endeavor to bring
its output up to the point where it
will attempt to fill all requirements
as to avoid repetition of the shortage
which existed last Spring when thou
sands of persons were disappointed in
not being able to secure delivery of
cars.

BALLOON TIRES HELP ROADS

The balloon tire is as yet too new to
tell its own story, but some of the
reasons urged against it by its op-
ponents do not seem warranted by
facts. Misled, perhaps, by the undoubt
ed fact that the pneumatic tire caused
great destruction to the then common
type of hard road, the water bound
macadam, conservatives now state
that the balloon tire with it's greatly
increased size of wearing surface, will
cause damage to roads of other than
cement or brick surface.
This is not borne out by facts al
ready recorded of other wide tire
bearing surfaces. Heavy trucks, equip
ped with double wheels and flat, solid
tires, do no damage to the surface of
the highways they use, whether that
surface be oil-treated or tar-impregnat
ed stone, sand-clay, shell, concrete,
brick or cement. Road damage done
by such vehicles is from blows or pres
sure and not from surface wear. 1t
is, with the modern road, almost al
ways the weight or the blow which
damages the road and seldom or never
the abrasion Of the surface.
According to this, the balloon tire
should preserve rather than injure
roads, since it's lessened air pressure
increases the elasticity of the cushion
between the road and the weight, and
therefore decreases the force of any
blow struck by the wheel
