EDITORIAL

In what way can the National Gov
eminent build better road than a
State? correspondent asks.
1t can't But it does! 1t can build
no better road than any other central
authority, but it does build better
roads, as it builds better buildings and
better public works, because the stand
ards of a National Government are
usually higher and less warped by
consideration of immediate expense
than are those of smaller appropria-
ting bodies.
The United States Government has
for many years followed the invari-
able policy of building anything to last
for long period of time It's public
buildings are not constructed to be
replaced in ten or twenty years, but
built to withstand the ravages of time
for many hundreds of years. When the
Panama Canal was constructed,
money was not stinted; the canal was
as engineering skill could build it. No
slack effort was made in the war.
The best we had of money and brains
and effort went into it.
When the United States Government
begins the building and maintenance
of national highways, it will build in
the same way-with due regard to
the future. Too many roads are built
today only for the immediate present;
built too light, so that traffic soon
cuts them to pieces; built too crooked,
SO that they waste time while pander-
ing to local prejudices against con-
domination; built on existing grades
rather than economical grades, to
save construction money.
Building the finest and highest type
of road engineering science under
stands, is one of the many reasons
why good roads enthusiasts with Wis
ion are working for the day when real
national highways begin to produce
good roads everywhere.

FEDERAL AID AS IT is

Roads on which the National Gov.
eminent furnishes funds to assist the
States are in two classes primary
and secondary. Primay highways are
interstate, while secondary highways
are intercounty roads correlating with
primary thoroughfares. The total mile
age in any State on which Federal aid
may be. given can not exceed z per
cent of the total mileage of all public
roads in that State. The primary sys-
tenn must not exceed three-sevenths
of the total eligible for Federal aid,
and on this three-seyenths not more
than so per cent of the Federal funds
available for any State may be spent,
except by agreement between the
State Road Commission and the Sec
rotary of Agriculture.
Federal road funds are apportioned
among the States agreeing to match
the amounts, as follows: One-third in
the ration which the area of each
State bears to the area of all the
States one third in the ratio which
the population Of each State bears
to the population of all the States;
one-third in the ratio which the mile
age of rural delivery and star routes
in all the States.
The Federal road system is intended
to give the maximum of service to
the greatest possible number. There
are ILL cities in the United States
of 5000 or more inhabitants, and 1,048
Of these are located on Federal routes.
Of the total population of the United
States, 80 per cent live either on or
within ten miles Of highways included
in the Federal system.
Proponents of national highways,
built and forever maintained by the
National Government, point out that
all such calculations and apportion-
ments will be unnecessary under their
plan, and that the ends of efficiency
economy, and speed in building roads

authority in absolute control than by
forty-eight road commissions working
in conjunction with a central author
ity, between which an agreement must
be had before work is done
Real national highway believers are
not against Federal aid to roads,
since they recognize that any agency
which builds roads, which creates SEN
timent for good roads, which causes
use and spread of hard-surface high
ways, is an argument for national
highways. National highway program
indorsers believe that their plan, of a
central authority, a central force pay
ing the bills, and a central organiza-
ton maintaining the highways, will
produce more highways, produce them
quicker, and produce them with great
er economy and therefore greater val
lie to the body polite than any, other
plan

BRlGHTENs FARM HOMES


Electricity is rapidly being spread
to the farm homes in western states.
Statistics show that even in some of
the thinly settled states, from Is to
20 per cent Of the farms are supplied
with electric light and power.
In some of the western states the
equipment of farm homes has been
extended to nearly SO per cent, and in
all of them is showing steady in
crease.
New circuits are being established,
lines are being extended into new ter
ritory and new patrons are being add
ed to steady lines already built
The wives of farmers are finding
their work much easier, and the home
is much more attractive for the young
people by the introduction Of electrici-
ty, as there is better light for reading
and far less danger from fire.
In some of the states, for many
miles, the roads running out of cities
into the country are being electricical-
ly lighted and frequently barns and
barnyards even are lighted.
In the homes, electric ranges, wash
ing machines, flat irons, churns milk
ing machines and power for dairies
are features of the new era.
No families who have ever used
electricity on the farm care to return
to the old oil lamp, the hand pump,
the lantern or any of the old methods
where electricity can be obtained

WHERE MONEY COMES FROM

This nation builds roads at the rate
of billion dollars a year. The total
highway mileage in the United States
is 2,941 ,294, of which only some $780,
900 miles have been improved.
Money for road building, according
to the Bureau of Public Roads, is rails
ed as follows: Bonds, 1871 per cent;
general property taxes, 1872 per cent;
motor vehicle fees, including gasoline
taxes, 1915 per cent; Federal aid SO
per cent; all other sources, so per
cent.
Bonds issued by counties, townships
and districts, and many issued by
States, are. paid by general property
taxes, which thus pay q very large
proportion of the total. It is estimat-
ed that real estate pays from SIS per
cent to 70 per cent of the total annu-
al highway revenue.
Such figures are a powerful argu-
ment for the creation of a National
Highway Commission and the build
ing and maintenance of national high
ways by the Nation. If general taxes
at present contribute more than two
thirds to road building, obviously if
the entire job of trunk-line develop
ment were taken over by the Nation,
two thirds of the proposed expense
would be- discounted!
What the Nation built, the State,
county, township, and district would
not have to build.
Spending billion year for roads,
the Nation does not get billion dol
lars worth of roads. If the Govern
ment spent that billion, according to
a unified, comprehensive, centrally
controlled plan, the Nation would get
vaue received, and at no more or but
slightly increased cost than accom-
panies our present wasteful, because
too decentralized, plans.

165 pounds of butterfat valued at SO
cents a pound, earns $50 as a years
gross income" he said. 'Deducting
the cost of feed leaves profit of only
$40 to $12, and does not take into ac-
count the labor involved, deprecia-
ton, and other overhead expenses.
Now can you honestly afford to buy
this kind of COW? A 500 or $125
cow will produce 800 to $50 pounds
Of butterfat. You can figure the prof
its for yourself"
Convinced of the profitableness OF
Investing more money in COW, the
farmer left the bank with the funds
in his hands. He started paying for
the animal with his first milk check.
One half of each milk check went to
the bank to pay off the indebtedness,

mainder for his expenses Banker

amount for a COW. I'm rather hard

A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY

The time has passed when radio is
looked upon as a plaything 1t has
passed through the preliminary and
experimental stages. 1t has come to
the point where the public expects
service and amusement of high class
If nearby stations do not furnish the
kind of program desired, it is only a
matter of few moments to tune them
out and tune in the distant ones.
Some stations broadcast every half
hour, giving the important news and
market reports.
Radio is fast growing to be house

of homes today for service as well as
amusement.

CUTS OUT RESERVATIONS
FOR TENNIS JOURNEYS
Col. Sherrill's Edict Applies After
August l to Monument Grounds
and Potomac Park,

Beginning August l, no reservations
for tennis tournaments will be made
on the courts in the Monument
grounds. at 18th and B streets and
at the Potomac Park courts at the
bathing beach, Lieut.. Col. G. Q. Sher-
rill, officer in charge of public build
1ngS and grounds, announced today.
This action was taken on account of
the unusually great demand for ten
mis- courts after Office hours. Col.
Sheriff. said. Advance reservations
however, may be made on three courts
Rock Creek Park This ruling. it
was explained, will not prevent those
contesting in tournaments from re-
serving courts on any of the grounds
one week III advance during the week
preceding play. as is done by other
individuals.
While anxious to encourage com.
petitions in tennis. Col Sheriff. feels
that the first consideration in the as
signment of courts in the parks
should be given to individuals. in or
der that the facilities may be equi-
tably distributed over as large
number of players as possible. There
are several tournaments now in prog
ress. and in order to allow these tour
naments to finish under the present
arrangements, the date of these
changes is set ahead to August |.
On account of the regulation requir-
ing four players in each game, Col.
Sheriff. stated. special arrangements
must be made for singles tourna-
ments, which must not involve the
use of courts during the busy hours
of the day
