PARK SERVICE WELCOMES
VISIT OF U. 5. SENATOR'S

Stephen T. Mather, director of the
national park service, expressed graft
fication over the proposed investiga-
tion by the senate public lands COM
mittee of the entire administration of
the national park system.
For some time," he said, there
have been circulated Tumors and re-
ports to the effect that the national
parks are in the hands of concession
aires and were not being operated for
the benefit of the public. An investi-
cation Of the entire matter by the
senate public lands committee is ex-
actly what has been wanted for long
time and is certain to clear up such
rumors which, if go unchallenged,
may result in seriously retarding
western travel.
Never before in the history of the
national park system were the ma
tional parks more popular with the
American people. Ten years ago the
visitors numbered less than 250,000
The 1924 season saw over 100000
visitors, of which approximately 70
per cent toured the parks in their pri-
vate automobiles and availed them
selves of the free public camp grounds
developed at large expense by the
government. Only about 80 per cent
of the total number of visitors to the
national parks coming by train used
the transportation systems and stop
ped at the hotels and other facilities
operated by the concessionaires under
contracts with the interior depart
ment.
Talk of excessive fees being
charged by the private operators in
the parks is disproven by the fact
that so great is the demand for ac-
commodations in most of them that
the department has required the
operators to greatly expand their IA
cilities each year. All classes of visi-
tors are welcome in the parks. For
those who demand hotel accommoda-
tions and rooms with bath these are
available; and for those who want to
live more cheaply, the prices charged
at the permanent camps are within
the reach of the ordinary mans
pocketbook Visitors bringing their
own camping equipment are taken
care of in the public automobile
camps, no charge being made to them.
While automobile fees are charged
in the majority of the parks for the
use of the park roads, the purpose of
the fee is sometimes misunderstood
because the average citizen is not ia
miliar with the financial policy of
congress. Congress, while always
willing to appropriate funds for the
maintenance, protection, and i'm
provement of the parks, asks that
those who use and enjoy them shall
contribute toward their administra-
ton and upkeep. The public utilities
of the parks are required to pay to
the government taxes on their fran
chises; these charges being based on
the volume of business transacted by
these enterprises. All revenue de-
rived by the collection of fees and
franchise charges is paid into the
United States treasury and an ac-
count rendered to congress.
"A thorough inquiry by a RESPONSE
bic legislative body with hearings
open to the public is certain to at
tract wide attention. Too little is
known of the magnificent park sys-
TEN maintained by the government
and of the unlimited opportunities it
affords for outdoor recreation at a
minimum outlay of expense such as
can be obtained at no other place in
the world"

Characterizing as wholly in error,
the statement recently made that ST.
100000 allotted to the state of Arizona
for federal aid highway construction
will revert to the government due to
lack of state funds to match the fed
eral appropriation. C. G. Morrison,
acting district engineer of the United
States bureau of public roads, in let
ter to W. C. Lefebvre, state engineer,
stated there is no cause for alarm,
and has asked the state engineer to
correct the erroneous statement.
The attention of the acting district
engineer was attracted to the state
ment recently issued by H. S. Nc
Cluskey, secretary to the governor, in
which Mr.. McCluskey declared that
unless some means is soon found to
finance the state highway department
properly, approximately $1,700,000 in
federal aid funds available to the
state for the coming year will go un-
matched and will revert to the fed
eral government.
Mr. Morrison in his letter to the
state engineer explained that federal
funds appropriated and available on
l. OIl SlNCil yCclJg ISIiIdlIl
available for two fiscal years immed-
lately following the fiscal year for
which appropriation has been made.
Mr.. Morrison's letter follows:
Phoenix, Arizona,

"Mr. W. c. Lefebvre,
Estate Engineer,

Dear Sir:
Recent statements in the "Arizona
Gazette and Arizona Republican,
that S1,7O0,000 allotted to the state of
Arizona for federal aid highway con-
struction will soon revert to the Z. S.
treasury on account of lack of state
funds to match this amount on var
ious percentages of cooperation, have
been noted.
"These statements are most GER
tainly in error.

ing to the books of this office, is as
