Side Improvement. These improve
ments are representative Of = type
Of highway urgently needed in met
ropolitan and suburban areas and
are quite different than the rural
highways which also win be needed.
Metropolitan areas and their Vi
entities will be carefully studied, and
depressed highways will be built.
Undoubtedly, more beautiful designs
utilizing broader rights Of way on
the surface will be sought. Whole
lines of city blocks will be razed
to provide rights-of-way for free
ways which will be Handicapped, with
no grade crossings and with attrac-
tive masonry structures. These will
enhance the value Of abutting prop
erty, not depress 1t as elevated
structures would. The enhanced
values will be partly recoverable to
pay the costs Of these expensive but
imperatively needed improvements.
In the rural areas a system Of
large mileage constituting the farm
to-market or direct land-service
roads will be improved. The type
Of this work will be in strong con-
trast to that in and near metro
politan centers, but its design and
adequacy for service will be equal,
in that it will reflect as exactly al
possible the demands Of local trafhc

Highway Odicials marks the end Of
the pioneering era in road building
and the beginning Of the era. in
which engineering and economic
research win govern the kind and
character Of highways to = greater
extent than ever before.
The question Is constantly being
asked-What are roads going to be
like in another Is years? And some
persons have . rather fanciful
mental picture. Actually. however,
many miles of public roads in the
United States will look about AZ
they do today. The big changes will
come in and near our cities. Indi-
cations are that about 10000 miles
Of four-lane divided highways will
be needed In the next quarter Of q
century. These divided roads will
be principally near cities where q
great volume Of trafilc moves COM
paratively short distances and a.
part Of . system Of inter-regional
highways.
During the quarter century there
will be heavy program of railroad
and highway grade crossing elimina-
ton and our main highways will be
characterized by more structures
and fewer Interruptions to trafilc

type Of roads should be used?
Planning surveys now being con-
Quoted in nearly every State In
cooperation with the Public Roads
Administration are giving the high
way engineer new tools which will
help him do better job than has
ever been done before. These new
tools are simply facts as to how and
where persons and goods move about
on the public roads. and these facts
can be so combined as to direct the
financing and extension Of the high
way system.
1t has been found that over 60
per cent of the vehicle-miles that
American motorists roll up each
year consists Of Q series Of short
movements averaging not more than
80 miles per trip, and the short
trips are most characteristic Of
rurally owned cars.
This probably is hard to believe
from the viewpoint Of persons who
drive bumper to bumper In and out
Of large cities twice day with thou
sands Of other vehicles. But these
facts are pretty well proved.
For instance, more than $4,000
motor vehicles cross the Hudson
River daily. Within 20 miles over
80 per cent Of that trafic stops,
and less than 1 per cent travels
beyond the State lines Of Pennsyl-
vania, New York and New Jersey.

Of two additional items In the prob

Chairman Summers of the House
Judiciary Committee said yesterday
that democracy had only a $3.50
chance of surviving in this country
unless its advocates exerted them
selves in tremendous travail
But" added the Texas member
of Congress in an address before
the Attorney Generals Conference
of United States Attorneys. II be-
lieve that we're going to win"
BY tremendous travail" Repre-
sentative Summers said, he meant the
determination and ability of all
Americans to develop and maintain
a sufficient capacity for self-govern-
ment.
THE greatest lesson in history"
he stated, has been that no people
who have lost the capacity for self
government have remained free"
Speaking at the opening session
of the attorneys four-day meeting,
Representative Summers waved a
clenched fist and exclaimed:
If this democracy falls, it will
fall from what happens within
rather than without"
One of the greatest dangers, he
added, is overcentralization of ad-
ministrative powers. Democracy can
not survive, he predicted. if "all
governmental responsibilities are
concentrated in Washington"

Roosevelt Peace Plea
Hailed by Gillette

Restatement of the principles of
the Monroe Doctrine by President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Hull have put the United States
on record as earnestly desiring
peace, Senator Gillette, Democrat,
Of Iowa, last night declared at a
Society of Virginia meeting COM
memorating the birthdays of Mon
roe and Jefferson.
Senator Gillette, addressing the
group at the Willard Hotel, said the
Monroe Doctrine "by. its sheer moral
force has gained the recognition and
respect not only of governments on
this continent but those of Europe
who have any regard for a code OF
national honor and justice"
He classified the doctrine in the
category of Washington Farewell
Address," the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the Constitution.
1T will be noted" declared the
Iowan, that both the President and
the Secretary of State have been
very careful to confine their de-
mands to the rights of the Americas
in the Western Hemisphere, and
that the President has made it
equally clear that his role in Euro
pean affairs is that of intermed-
iary."
