ROADS AS PUBLIC UTILITIES
phi1AdAlnhia R,,1lAtinl


When he classes the improved highways Of the United
States as great public utility with revenue Of more
than in indirect taxation Chief MacDon-
aid Of the United States bureau Of public roads puts
the highway situation in the new light which assumes
by virtue of the motorizaton of the nation.
This year gasoline taxes will exceed and
may 60 as high as $275 900 900, while vehicle and
drivers licenses will roll up than 100000 900.
This amount is virtually all available for motor vehicle
regulation, highway PATROL and highway construction
and maintenance Most Of it may fairly be taken for
actual building and upkeep Of roads, Other taxes in
directly due to motors corporations incomes Of
motor and oil companies and property, wheelage and
other local leves varying throughout the country Ger
tainy, in the sense that Chief Macdonald indicates
they Ill indirectly due to the existence Of highways
without which the motorizaton OF the nation could not
60 on.
It is good news that the Federal aid state highway
program will within few years be completed, but Mr..
MacDonalds suggestion that when that happy day
method shall be devised for the Federal govern
ment to aid counties and municipalities In their road
improvement Is not cheering When the cpnstruc-
ton OF the present program Is completed, Federal
grants for roads should Be stopped but any scheme
give Federal aid to local road work necessarily would
have to Be largely increased.
The principle Of Federal aid 70 state projects Is dam
gerUus from both state and FEDERAL standpoints. The
mounting from license and fees shows the
feasbiy 81 meeting al highway coEts even to aiding
county q municipal roadwork without drawing upon
tth1 Federal treasury.

DENLY relied implicitly for advice on

Washington, Sept. 11.-Midway
between four and five years ago, Ed
win DENLY passed out Of the spot
light.
He had been one of the most pic
turesque figures in the Harding cab
met. Son of an American minister
to China, he had lived and worked
for several years in that country. In
1898 he left his law practice in De-
troit to serve as q gunner's mate in
the Spanish-American War.
In 1917, having acquired wealth,
prestige and political honors in his
city and state, he sneaked away from
Detroit and modestly enlisted as a
mere private in the marines for
World War service.
When the war ended he held the
rank of major. President Harding
made him secretary Of the navy. In
March, 1924, DENLY gave his resig-
nation to President Coolidge. Popu-
lar and political indignation had de-
manded it because Of his connection
with the Fall-Doheny oil scandals.
oiHCc tHeHs 1OT national purposes,
DENLY has been in obscurity. Now
and then he came into the limelight
again. briefly, as he travelled here
and there to testify in various naval
oil reserve cases, but few men have
appeared to drop so quickly and COM
pletely out Of public life.
It's . natural question: "What
ever hprAmo ~ nonhvy 80
Those who know DENLY say that
as citizen Of Detroit he is far from
obscure, that he has q host Of friends
there, that he was met on his return
from Washington with brass band,
a parade and a banquet in testimony
Of their faith, that he Immediately
became chairman of a y. NJ. C. A.
drive which raised $4,000 900, that
he has since been an important fig
ure in other civic enterprises and
that he is still in demand as an or
ator at public gatherings.
