That's what car owners and build
ers, gasoline users and producers,

your whole highway cost Of a

Mr. Macdonald leaned back and
thought a moment. There is a
widespread notion" he presently
said. that Federal aid represents
large share of the investment in
good roads, AS a matter of fact,
in the eight years from 1918 70
1925 inclusive. the Government has
contributed $3.50 100000 to help the
states build roads That is consid-
erably less than half OF what the
country spent on roads in either
1924 or 1925. Moreover. in the
same eight years that the Govern
ment was distributing that $780,
100000 to the states, it collected
$S73,000,000 in internal revenue
taxes on motor cars, parts and ac-
cessories. Other hundreds of mil
lions were collected in income and
corporation taxes from motor car
manufacturers and dealers. The
Federal contribution to- roads. as
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-04-19

compared to that OF the people
who make and use the cars and
gasoline, has been decidedly a
modest one.
''On the other hand. while the
Federal contribution is only about
10 per cent Of highway expense, it
has accomplished results alto
gether out of proportion to it's
amount First, it was an incentive
to the states, because Uncle Sam
required them to invest at least as
much as he contributed. Also, the
Government retains part in the
general supervision of construc-
ton. and share in determining
routes So we have built roads on
higher standards, and have organ
lied them into truly national sys-
TEN, instead OF forty-eight state
systems.
Some day it will be realized
that this was the most valuable
contribution. A man driving from
Boston to New York may pass
through four states, Every one of
them might have splendid high
way system: but II these did not
articulate at the state lines. the
trip would be almost impossible.
