believe that the extension Of the

The continuation Of the build.

BY SEYMOUR LOWMAN,
Lieutenant Governor, State Of New York
While Federal aid does not
really assist New York State very
much In it's road building pro-.
gram, as we get back less than
we pay in, it nevertheless is
beneficial to the citizens of New
York State. because Federal con.
tributions to the smaller and less
wealthy States make it possible
for them to carry forward
road building plan.
This State is justified in meet.

eral Government by direct tax
on our citizens as with the Fed
eral moneys matched by the
State appropriation the road build
ing program In this State has
been materially aided, and we no
longer find 1t necessary to issue
bonds to carry on our program
here.
The people Of New York have
thoroughly approved Of our large
yearly appropriations, which av-
erage around $4,000, 900 annual.

T ARM BILL UP
IN SENATE

Farm bloc leaders were jim q
auandary today over whether tc
5eopardize the effectiveness OF the
McNary-Haugen farm relief bill by
removing its alleged '1jnconstitu'
tionar' features. or to chance the
entire bill's fate with the Supreme
Court.
One lause in the bill would make
the payment of an equalization fee
compulsory to every producer.
This has been declared unconsti-
tutional by Senator Borah Rep) OF
Idaho. But If the clause is taken
our. leaders say, the bottom will
drop out OF the fee principle.
Although voting was to start
today ON the first Of the multi.
tudinous amendments that have
been offered to the bill. Senator
McNary Rep1 OF Oregon, sponsor
OF the bill, was proceeding slowly
and cautiously.
If the final vote is fastened, with
out ironing out many delicate diff
fefences OF opinion, it viii be ex.
tremely difficult to muster q ma
jority vote.

BY ALBERT OTTINGER

Nothing is more important than
the linking together of the States
by use Of National highways.
The more closely together the
States are bound the more surely
are we welded together as great
nation, and we become less and
less a group Of so many separate
States or entities.
Many of our interstate difficult.
ties have arisen from the fact
that we have not known each

a visiting of each other, a ma

and the wiping out of sectional
lines. Nothing is more import
