Favors Moody's Road Plan

Representative Leonard Tillotson Of Sealy, leader IN
highway legislation during the past fifteen year,
eommends the recent suggestion Of Governor Moody
that a committee Of 81. composed Of one representa-
tive from each senatorial district, be appointed to out
line a highway legislative program for the considers
tion Of the next legislature.
The veteran representative indicates that adoption
Of this plan will result in unity Of action on the part
Of the legislature. Heretofore highway legislation mas
been hampered by the lack Of coordination OF IDEAS
and plans. Various sections Of the state have been ar
rsyed against each other, each indicating that they
construed the highway program as a grab
TiIlotson expresses the opinion that the people are
IN accord with the proposal for a statewide system q
highways, the linking up Of the dead ends and the
building Of highways in counties which on account 81
lack Of valuations or because the voters are unpro-
rressive are hampering highway Development IN the
state and penalizing the more progressive counties.
Discussing the proposal Of financing highway con-
ttruction through the medium Of the gasoline tax Rep
resentative T.llotson says: "The change in financing
highway construction and maintenance may be secured
bv an increase in the tax on gasoline TO I cents q ga
lon. and the gasoline revenues. part of the license fees
and federal aid should constitute the states indepen-
dent highway fund.
"Thc constitution should be amended to authorize
the state TO establish, build and operate 2 system n

necessary al this time for the purpose Of raising fun Is
tbrouyh a bond issue, but the authority might well DC
given the legislature 70 authorize Indebtedness In case

lieyed. would have to be made contingent on a reiere"-

under Mr.. Hoover. The reasons for his resignation were
stated very frankly at the time. He declared that MI.
Hoover was favoring the big packing interests ut the
expense Of the live stock producers Of America. When
he first offered his resignation it was refused. Mr..
Hoover assured him in q personal conference. he later
stated, that the business Of temporizing with the pack
ing interests would cease.
But Il days later Mr.. Lasater was convinced more
than ever that che live stock producers of America
had no chance TO secure fair treatment at Mr.. Hoovers
hands.
Reviewing his break with Mr.. Hoover in the light
Of calm contemplation, after the war had ended, Mr..
Lasater wrote:
Il was convinced and I am still convinced, that the
action of Mr.. Hoover as food administrator destroyed
the confidence Of the farmers and stock raisers in the
fairness Of their government, caused directly an in
calculable loss to them as a body with the effect of fl
nancial ruin to many, and above all. put this nation in
a position where, il the war had lasted the expected
five years, or had continued one year longer than IL did,
it would have been impossible to procure the necessary
fats and meat supplies for the allies and ourselves. II
Mr.. Hoover's slogan, Food will win the war meant
anything, we might we'll under circumstances have
been faced with defeat"

The World and All
LONG LIFE
By Charles Z. Driseoll

There is a popular belief that people live to a great
er age now than ever before. This, according TO Or
Louis Dublin of the Metropolitan Life statistical de-
partment. is an error. We do not live to a greater age
than our forefathers, despite all the much-advertise
consquests accredited to medical science.
The average person at birth has a greater life ex-
pectancy than he had some years or centuries age
This is due to the fact that babies are now given more
intelligent care. Much has been learned about care Of
babies. Nowadays, when a baby is born ne has a good
chance Of living to %aduthood. Even thirty years ago
a baby was lucky if he lived to be five years old.
Saving the babies, you see. has led to the existence
Of the greater average life span. The average person
lives longer than formerly, but the higher average is
made up in ~babyhood; not in old age. Three score
years and ten is still a working limit for human life.
unless by reason Of strength or resistance to microbes
the individual may live to four score years. Beyond
so not many live.
Much money has been we'll spent in saving babies.
All kinds of babies are saved for all kinds Of lives. You
can't tell when you're saving a baby whether the child
is going to be a useful citizen or a bandit. Many a
doctor in the big cities has labored many a weary night
to save babies destined for the electric chair. A rep
utable doctor once told me that he was at heart OPP
posed to the compulsory incubation against d~iphtheril
Of children in certain districts Of New York City, be-
cause such a large percentage Of the children thus
preserved from death in those sections grow up to
plague society and prey upon honest citizens. and final
ly have to be shot by policemen who would much rather
be doing other useful work.
But the good work of saving babies goes on anyway,
and most Of US are glad OF IL.
Now, I'd like to see some good work done to reward
with long life those who have demonstrated their use
fulness in the world. For instance. a doctor who has
saved the lives of a thousand babies ought to be saved
the annoyance Of dying OF cancer at the early age IF
so years. Charles ~Lindbergh ought to have at his dis
posal snti-age serum or something equally certain TO
give him the privilege Of telling his great great-g grand
children all about that buggy ride across the Atlantic.
Diabetes is about the only disease Of middle life that
has been beaten down. We need foundations and labor
atories to render old eye older, more durable. more
vigorous and more comfortable.
