ASSkA&A VoS
dairy products from other sections
OF course. this did mot apply to butter.
Nor to cheese.
So, after mort than six year,, the
idea Of Eugene Meyer to make Amer.
lea cheese conscious, and boost cor
sumption Of this commodity sufaciently
to take up part Of the slack between
production and purchase was about y
start.
Then came the drought, the slaugh-
ter Of dairy cattle, and the probability
that It win be . year before production
Of dairy articles again approaches the
level that was causing 20 much trou-
bic. So the Eat More Cheese CAM
paign was again postponed.
Hits States Rights 4
A perfect illustration Of the ease
with which the federal government
encroaches, bit By BIT, on states rights,
10 the Cartwright bill recently rushed
through congress. This II the bill pro-
viding that, after July /, 1886, there
Will be no further federal aid for road
projects in states which use their own
gasoline revenue for other purposes
than specified by law. ss
The language is reasonable enough.
It simply says that each state must
obey it's wi laws. No one can quar-
rel with that. But what business IL It,
many critics demanded-though not
enough to make any difference to the
fate Of the bill-of the federal govern
ment? II a state chooses to violate its
own laws, what has the federal govern
ment got to do with It?
But behind the bill were many en-
thusiasts who were " far more con
cerned with getting what they wanted
than in any academic discussion Of the
question of federal versus states rights.
They cart nothing about preserving
some vestige of the power Of the states
II they could attain the Immediate,
and to them highly important, objec-
tive. -,
Behind the bill were the motorists
Of the country, ably represented BY the
American Automobile association, the
truck and bus owners, and last, but
far from least, in potency, the high
way contractors of, the entire Union.
All three powerful groups want ey-
cry possible dollar spent on roads.
The contractors want the work. They
want the profits attendant upon road
contracts, and they want to keep their
organizations functioning eve II the
profits happen to be small. Behind
them are the cement manufacturers,
and makers Of road-building machinery,
and a host Of related trades, all very
potent here, even If for the present the
cement people do seem to be under Z
cloud with Secretary and Public
Works Administrator Ickes. "
Want More Good Roads
The bus and truck people naturally
want all the roads that can be built.
The more good roads, the more money
they will make. Back Of them, and
back Of the motorists represented by
the AAA, are the automobile manufac-

every drop Of oil and gasoline possible.
