take no advantage of the King Incl

from the record when the court meets

Cretion, also may make report

FEDERAL AID URGED
FOR ROAD BUILDING
Western States With Much
Non- Taxable Land Need
Help, Says A. A. A. Head.

More liberal use of Federal aid
funds for. Western States with large
areas of non-taxable public lands is
being urged by Thomas p. Henry.
president of the American Automobile
Association s..
, The construction of primary and In.
terstate highways is tagging In such
Western States, in the opinion of the
4. A. A. executive. who has just com
pleted a motor trip from Washington
to San Francisco. AS result of the
observations made by Mr.. Henry and
Ernest n. Smith. general mana ger OF
the A. A. A., on this trip. they pro.
pose to present a constructive pro
gram in the interest OF motordom to
the next Congress
Stressing the necessity for libera
interpretation of the Federal aid act
In thinly populated Western territory.
Mr.. Henry said:
Construction Tagging.
With transcontlnental traffic ever
and ever increa sing. it has become
patent that the construction of pri-
mary and interstate highways is lag.
ging behind in those Western States
that have large areas of non-taXahle
public lands within their borders. The
languishing process. in fact, has
reached the point where II endansers
the entire system Of highways pro
5ected under the Federal aid plan.
The situation Is primarily due to
the fact that these public land States
are unable to meet Federal aid appro-
prtations, for the good reason that
their resources in population and
wealth are disproportionate to the task
required of them.
This simply means that the ma
tional road program is facing an emef-
Sency. 1t Is necessary to amend the
law so that Federal aid will conform to
conditions in the States in question.
This was the purpose of the bill intro
duced by Representative Cotton Of
Utah in the first session Of the Sixty
eighth Congress. 1t had two main pro
visions; first, the granting of 100 per
cent Federal aid for primary and in
terstate highways in public land

limitation Of the amount which may

Scale Development Proposed.
What is proposed Is simply neo
essary development of the graduated
scale so as to permit the switching Of
funds to primary highways, without
increasing the allotment Of any State.
The Cotton bill was indorsed by the
last two meetings OF the Association
of State Highway officials and has the
support of the Bureau of Public Roads.
Its enactment Is necessary If we are
TO have the far-fUns system of high
ways contemplated Under the Federal
aid plan.
The situation confronting the
States can be readily visualized. Nine
OF them, namely. Arizona, Colorado.
Idaho. Montana. Nevada. New Mexico.
Oregon Utah and Wyoming, have a
population varying from less than one
to the square mile in Nevada to- A
little over nine per square mile in
Colorado. AS a group they have 12 per
cent of the Federal aid. but only Al
per cent Of the population and SO per
centsof the assessed valuation. They
have areas of public lands-wholly di-
vorced from taxation-ranging from
GO in Montana to 74.01 in Nevada. 1t
Is plainly a task disproportionate to
