of the interstate system and appropriated
$26 billion to be apportioned on 90-10 per
cent matching basis.
The Bureau of Public Roads began con-
struction Of recommendations Of states for
the selection of locations for 1000 miles to
be added to the system.
Although the USR q organization had
previously been functioning, interest was
only at an area level when this opportunity
presented itself
But all this time, Mariettas Steve Hoag
was busy with details and it was through
his efforts that the powerful Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce became interested
in the project.
This was an important ally for an up
start organization in the southern section
of the state and from then on, things really
happened with the governors of Ohio and
West Virginia getting into the act.
They all went to Washington and the
announcement last Friday was the result
of all this effort.
Originally they had asked only the
inclusion of l43 miles from Canton to Char
lesion but the federal government went
overheard and the new super highway will
now extend to Charlotte, N. c.
The Ohio department Of highways wants
to relocate USR Il as fast as manpoWer and
money permits
made in several sections over which the
new four-lane limited access road will be
built but they have not resulted in a
suggested route.
One major project, being built to inter-
state standards, is underway on USR q from
US 40, south to Byesville. The two lane high
way has been completed and is now being
used, although at the time rights-of-way
were secured for four lane.
This will also extend from Byesville 10
the edge Of Noble and Guernsey counties
and the contract has already been let.
Just where and how it will pass through
the county is still matter of conjecture,
although it is known that several routes
have already been surveyed and one Of these
eventually will be approved.
When the five miles of new highway
between Caldwell and South Olive was
constructed, rights-of-way for only two lanes
were secured and this will again present
another problem.
Back when this new stretch was de-
dicated, Gov. Lausches first comment when
he landed in his private plane concerned
the lack of foresight in his highway depart
ment in not securing the four-lane right-of-
way.
When the group from this area went to
Washington, Senator Lausche was a surprise
visitor and he spoke eloquently Of the need
for this forgotten highway to be placed on
the interstate system.
Steve Hoag said today that people in
Charleston, w. Va, were turning hand
springs in that city last Friday when the
official announcement was made to the
public.
This would pretty we'll sum up the feel
inGs of all concerned in this section of the
state for it has been many, many years since

impact has been made in the area.

Tremendous Impact

Federal interstate status has been given
to highway route between Canton, Cald-
we'll Marietta, Ohio and Charlotte, N. c.
following the general direction of USR Il.
This short and terse announcement was
made by the United States Department Of
Commerce in Washington, d. c., but its
impact on Noble county and the entire Ohio
Valley will be a long reaching one It should
do much to change the entire complexion
of this territory from the Ohio Valley angle
as we'll as Noble county
Interstate status for the route means
the Noble county area will be served by
north-south highway Of limited access,
having no stop signs or stop lights and
probably of a four-lane construction.
1t will not necessarily follow the same
route as q does now although in many
instances it will probably join this route
as it springs into being from Cleveland
to North Carolina.
Everyone in this area was iubilant
Friday morning when the news was tele-
phoned to Bolon Farmhouse, member of the
USR 81 committee, by Rep. John E. Hender-
son. Henderson had been given an advance
notice that the route had been approved and
he Immediately contacted all those in this
area who have worked for SO long to see
this very accomplishment.
Bolon Farmhouse, of Caldwell, repre-
sented the Noble County Chamber of Com
merce in this project and he was one of
those who went to Washington several weeks
ago in the interest of getting USR Il on
the interstate system
Federal funds will pay for 90 percent
of the cost of the highway and the state of
Ohio will pay the other 10 percent
Complete details of the new route were
not Immediately available but it will be
a 431-mile stretch of connecting highway

state system. In addition to following USR
q between Canton, Caldwell and Marietta,
and Charleston W. Va, it will take in a
portion of the 93-mile West Virginia turn
pike between Charleston and a point near
the Virginia line.
There is no question but what the new
freeWay will bypass as many communities
as possible, including Caldwell here but
there will be a feeder line from the super
highway into the village.
Perhaps the one man responsible for
its success-if the credit could go to one
man-would be S. Durward Hoag, of Mari
eta, president of the Marietta Chamber
of Commerce and the first president of the
USR Il organization.
It was this Marietta civic leader who
had the foresight to make the state and
Washington Route q conscious and who laid
the groundfloor so we'll when he served as
its head
The interstate system of highways,
Hoag said, grew out Of a report in 1899
by the Bureau of Public Roads, which
emphasized the need for a special system
of direct inter-regional highways to meet
the requirements Of national defense.
Following further Investigations and
reports, Congress passed in 1914 the Federal
Aid Highway act which directed the designa-
ton Of national system Of interstate high
ways. This system was adopted Aug 2, 1947
but progress was slow until studies in 1854
SIS showed the need for accelerati0n.
In 1856, Congress increased the mileage

On brief stay in the Nations
Capital last week, it was plain
that when Congress opens on
January 7, the stage will be set
for what may be the most acri-
monious session in several de-
cades. Federal intervention in the
Little Rock situation, the gen
eral question of civil rights,
tariff policies, defense planning,
and government spending are
but a few of the issues which
will seize the national spotlight
Immediately and assure that
there will be no repetition Of the
hesitation and marking time
which characterized the opening
weeks of the 1857 session.
Uncle Sam'S Income
Congress will surely devote
more than token attention not
only to how Uncle Sam spends
his money, but also to how he
derives his income. A searching
look at the Federal tax revenue
system is as necessary as the
study Of funds voted to operate
the far-flung Federal empire.
Certainly, that sure-fire revenue
raiser, the income tax, is deserv-
ing Of consideration.
Brought to full maturity in
three wars, the income tax traces
its modest origin to the 10Th
Amendment to the Constitution.
The per capia income tax has
grown from 20 cents in 1913 to
a figure exceeding $500 for every
man, woman and child. All Fed
eraI taxation amounted to $7G6
while today it is estimated at
$435.
In these "A years, the trend
toward burdensOme Federal ex-
cenditures has become a national
habit. In spite Of increasing ap-
plications Of the income tax and
On ever greater array Of hidden
taxes, Uncle Sans spendthrift
habits have not been kept within
his income. Twenty-Five of these
"A years have produced Federal
deficits with the national debt
mounting from $12 billion in
1913 to a peak Of $277 billion
several years ago.
Where The Tax Dollar Goes

179 cents went for state govern

upon which q concept of govern
ment balance and services was
founded, has changed profoundly
in the last 80 years. Today, 63.6
cents Of the tax dollar is drawn
into Washington, IFS cents goes
to the states, and 1879 cents is for
local government needs. It is no
wonder that, once initiated, the
trend toward Capitalization of
powers in Washington is self

taxation which were once con-
sidered the exclusive sources of
revenue for the states and local
communities.
In a 1927-1956 comparison, the
Federal debt has been multiplied
more than 1876 times, or from
S16.5 billion to $225.4 billion.
State and local debt have risen
in the same period from $l3.2
billions to SAT- billions for an
increase Of something over three
times.

The Ohio supreme court is
soon to review the legality of the
states "blue" law that prohibits
the selling of merchandise on
Sunday. A number of merchants
have been indicated for having
done so.
More taxes are to come. An
nOunCement has been made that
OhiO's sales tax will be raised
from three cents to four cents in
1883 The reason for the raise
is attributed to the state being
in need of more money with
which to pay its expenses. How
ever, the next legislature may
step in and take hand in the
matter.
An election will come in Cald-
well early next year on the pro-
position of issuing bonds for
another school building. The
education of our children is
vastly more important to CaId-
Wellians than is the proposition
Of issuing bonds for assisting in
the purification of the water in
the Ohio river. This should be
borne in mind by each voter who
goes to the election on Nov 5th.
In a nearby city one day last
week monetary drive was made
by a houSe-tO-house canvass in
the sale Of electric light bulbs.
Was this event doing justice to
local dealers in the city who
through taxation assist in pay
ing the annual expense thereof?
On other occasions similar drives
were conducted. Even if for
charity, couldn't a more appro-
pirate and justifiable way be
found III raising funds for the
purpose?

ment was made last Friday from

Secretary Sinclair Weeks.
The improvement will be COM
menced without unnecessary de-
lay and will probably be COM
pleted in 1858. The government

COAL VS.. ATOM--How much
coal is atomic energy going to
displace from the boilers of cleo

That's a question troubling
the coal industry. Its rarnifica-
tons extend to coal-carrying
railroads and others concerned.
Coal people generally believe
the effect of nuclear fuel won't
be important for is or 20 years.
Available data indicates that
probably is a bit overoptimistic.
Coal exports probably will be
hit first. The Suez crisis provided

to nuclear fuel with heightened
interest.
