BY WILLIAM CLLMAN.

There is a sharp division Of opinion
discernible between the way America
and Europe view the toll road and the
toll bridge as economic factors in the
general highway scheme.
In America the toll road ~ rapidly
passing from the picture as providing
nuisance tax on the millions who
must use the highways. The toll
bridge, however, is being suffered to
larger extent, but at last has been
placed under the ban of the men who
are debating the rules Of the highway
game.
The European viewpoint Is con
siderably different regarding the toll
road. 1t is thought of across the sea
as way Of providing for the upkeep
funds are not forthcoming.
Italian Road Discussed.
Divided opinion is exemplifled best
by an incident that took place at the
International Road Congress at Milan
Italy. An outstanding example Of the
super-highway built from Milan to
the lakes OF Como, Varese, Maggiore
and the higher attitudes of Italy was
discussed and approved by foreign
delegates. Those from the United
States, however. withheld approval on
the ground that the Italian super.
roadway is supported by toll as a
privately constructed project.
This objection was voiced despite
the fact that the Milan road combines
so many praiseworthy features that
it would be certain to appeal to the
highway engineer as an ideal for road
builders. 1t is designed for motor
traffic only. No speed limit prevails.
Travel may be as fast as an engine
hindered by no intersections. The
motorist, at least, should have moth
ing further to desire.
To the highway expert the fact that
the road is privately owned. although
by state franchise, and supported by
toll collections Is enough to over.
shadow it's idealistic features. The
publicly owned road that Is free to all
users apparently Is the one that has
been fixed as alone desirable to the
men who are making Americas high
way policies.
Toll Bridge Also Opposed.
The toll bridge, on the other hand.
still flaunts itself in the pathway of
the cruising motorist as a surplus tax
on his pocketbook which already is
sufficiently drained by too numerous
evils in our economic system. 1t has
fallen under the ban at last and was
severely censured in action taken by
the American Association of State
Highway officials at its twelfth an
nual convention. held recently at Pine.
hurst. ~. c.
This body Of men, who are not only
endeavoring to find solutions to our
highway problems, but are the ones
who are charged with the construction
and maintenance Of the public road
ways. went on record as viewing the
toll bridge as "a serious barrier" to
free usage of the highway, which "in.
poses such a burden upon the move
ment of traffic over such highways
that the rapidly increasing number of
such toll structures has become a
matter Of serious concern.
The objection of the State highway
officials is promised upon the principle
that there should be removed from
the public highways every barrier to
the free and expeditions movement

OF people into Italy, and is today
bringing into the Golfers of the
Italian people millions and tens and
hundreds OF millions Of dollars, which
are great item in meeting the bal
ance OF trade OF the nation Of Italy.
European governments and munici-
paiities have long since recognized
this aspect Of public usefulness and
value inherent in art and have given
expression to this recognition by sub
sidizing theaterS and operas and other
art institutions. In our country this
task, to the largest extent, is left to
private initiative, to the generosity
and public spirit, or, If you will, the
enlightened selfishness, of those who
can afford to give. 1t is a duty ana
a privilege and ought to be a pleasure
to fulfill it. 1t Is a vast opportunity
TO aid cultural advancement.
Relatively Little Art.
For hospitals, for churches and re-
ltgious movements, for universities
and libraries, for charitable work of
all kinds far more has been done and
Is being done in America than any
where else in the world. The altruistic
munificence. of our men of wealth is
tne envy ana adrniratlon or all ma
tions. But upon the immensely large
and potentially immensely fruitful
field Of art relatively little considera-
ton has been bestowed heretofore by
such men.
Yet the opportunity is boundless
and the call urgent for public-spirited
citizens who will put not only some
Of their wealth, but some OF their
time and ability in the service Of that
cause; who, conscious of the social
value and beneficial influence of art.
will help along in movements having
for their purpose to ADVANCE art and
art standard, to procure more and
better opportunities in that field both
to the public and to American artists,
and to make the joys and inspirations
OF art more widely accessible to the
people.
