AMERICAN PAPER
 MONEY TOO LARGE
(Continued from First Page)

aid states in building roads, as pro- vided in pending bill. was urged before the house roads committee today by Frank Page, chairman of the North Carolina highway con- mission. and president of the Amer ican association of state highway of- fcials
 The appropriation made last year was ST5.000,o00. Mir. Page said that during the year thirty states had exceeded their quotas in proVld- ing funds to be added to the federal allotments, and but eight states had fallen below their pro rata share. The farmers his organization rep resented, 1ir. Holman said, would 'rather take their chances with congress with respect to the tariii act K x \, in preference to the delegation of functions by congress to enable somebody else to change the act from timo 10 time." pro- ducers of butter and other agricul' tural products, whose business hac brought lIlSIu III Goh'oS1 "'N' '"' commission, he added, felt 1t 't waste of public money to provide appropriations for the body.
 'I have fixed idea about thl' matter that you have referred to- Mir. Wood resumed, "and that l. that the commission is divided DO litically.'
 That Is corrtct,' MT. Holma' responded.
 And that they consider thes questions as political question rather than as economic ques tons" Mir. Wood continued. "M theory is that the tariff commls sion. if we are 10 have one, ongh to be in accord with the admins tration."
 Chairman Marvin of the tari commission, previously had e2 plained the work of the comml' sion to the sub committee withol reference to any differences. Tn committee recommended apprt priation of s699,0OO, to sustain th commission.
