Bhnll the aid . through votes of money out of ih treasury or from tho sale of bon.lv Thnt tho sUHgcsnon of federal aid to road building raises grnvo ques tions and Involves posslhlo dnngers, no thoughtful cltlien doubts. There nro proposals boforo tho public mind which would bankrupt the federal treasury nnd suggest povslblo nbusos before which those of tho worst pork barrel bills of tho pnst would pale Into Insignificance. No pro posal which does not enrry with tl tho assuranco of safeguarding the treasury In this direction seema to mo to stand tho ghost of n show of favorable consideration. It Is not nlono tho fenr thai thoro would bo no slopping place. Thoro Is tlio question of prccodont. This Is not the only proposal beforo the Ameri can congress Involving tlio question of huge appropriations. Thoro aro olhors which, to their advocates, are Just as Important and nro being Just as Insistently urged, and mnny of tho vctornn congressmen havo naturally contracted tho habit of balking automatically at such pro posals. It would bo especially pernicious It such nld should result In stifling tho spirit of local self help. In this (told as In others tho stales havo recently rondo great headway, and any action taken should unques tionably result In tho fostering of this spirit and In tho efficient dl rctlon of thee nctlvltlcs to which It mny lead. 1 Another difficulty to be avoided Is the over contrnlltntton or activity In theso Intimate Intrennl matters and tho building up of a great and powerful bureau In Washington, with an over Increasing control over tho highways of tho country. Tho dictates of prudonco and cperlonco aro thnt so far ua possible such agencies as may bo required should bo efficiently developed In tho sev eral states nnd that tho federal agencies should work In a, spirit of comploto and helpful co-operatlon nnd assistance.

H tho planning of road legislation would seem to bo to recognlio tho states ns the smallest unit with which tho federal gownrarnt might deal. This would give relief In a measure from the Insistent domand that would come from every town ship and every district In the union for Its shnre of state or federal as sistance, without reference In tho merits of the case or the practic ability of the undertaking As has been stated, many of tht states now have efficient slate hlihway depart ments, and thus afford orgapltod agencies with which the federal of fice could deal It woud seem that tlio basic feature would be such co operation between the nates and tho federal government as would leave with the stales the Initiative In the selection of roads to receive aid, nnd as muth of the Immedlnle construction and maintenance ns would be practicable. In the cnao of roads on which federal money Is ot bo oipcndcd It would sm es sential and wise that the Moral agetiry should have the requisite power of the approval of the selec tion, supervision of the construction and maintenance, and the right of Inspection, for the plain and simple ordinary purpose of seeing thnt tho fodcrnl money Is applied lo the pur pose for whleh It was toted uml la efficient!) oipendd. It Is rsoabl) er that for etfry reason there wu,t j,0 i0mo automatic rheck upon the demunds to bo mnde upon congress nnd thnt this should be afforded through thu requirement that the state and tho localities should contribute Uu am ount both for construction urn! maintenance at least equal to and Jts cinnmiNciiuv co KK IYfcCIIY.KN. jA t&SkV CMOUNO ASk This I, .,ur ma.! fr,)m the cbol.u.t Turkey Hed jlri, wh0Rt Kei s. tuaumiid to iilve s-JUfai'ioii, wd blw ( chracai tt.i of t pr wot K,lUn For Haiti by Price Commission Co, I'hoiie tm. possibly double that contributed by j the fcdornl government; and thnt. j In tho apportionment of any possible I federal funds n number ot bale fac tors such ns population, nron, wealth, or minimum cost of con struction, should control, I have not tho toast doubt. There mny be those who "will view with alarm" any suggestion that the federal govornmont co-op-(ernto with the states financially In road building nnd more especially that It exorcise an adequnto meas ure of control nnd supervision even over tho expenditure of Its own funds. The cry of centralisation that tho federal government alms unduly to extend lis powers mny ngnln be raised Yet, In a field or common Interest nnd of Inseparable! activities what could bo more nntu rnl thnn co-opcratlon and mutual1 assistance? Why should tho two Jurisdictions serving tho same peo ple forever stand apart nnd view ench other with suspicion and tils I trust while nothing Is done or much j Is wnatcd? And Is It not worthy of nolo thnt the ulnrm never seize such people at the stage of tho dis cussion In which It would be of most value? They aro not In the loust timid In their approaches to' i the federal trensury nnd their cour j ngv falls thorn only when It Is sug-' gosted that the federal government has a right to see that tho money of the people of the nntlon Is wisely nnd efficiently expended If tho) 1 are to take counsel of their uliirms i let them do so before they detur I mine to assault the treasury. In, short, ns a practical program, 1 believe thnt this matter Is one In , which haste onn best bo slowly j mndu. Tho people will snnetlon a I reasonable expondlture of their money and It Is their money nud 'theirs only, whether it be expended through tho federal government or the atnte when they are convinced that It la applied to n wise purpose and will yluld the results anticipa ted. And I am Impressed by tho w'sdom of the notion of congress, In tho midst of so much clamor, In constituting n committee "In make Inquiry into tho subject of fixlurtil aid In the construction ot post rouds," in providing an appropria tion of a half million dollars to lxj exponded co-operatively with thti stntca In tho proportion of no to two, nud In requiring the secretary of agriculture nnd tho postmaster I general lo report to congress tbV results of such expenditure "to gether with such recommendations ins shall seem wlsu for providing a 'general plnn of national and far the i Improvement of postal roads In co I operation with tho states and coun 'tles, and to bring about as nearly' ns possible such co-opcrnllon In the I various slates us will Insuro uniform 'and equitable Interstate hlghwsy regulations." This Indicates a de sire to know tho facts as well as a 'generous Interest Too short a time has elapsed to Judge of tho lvalue ot this undertaking, but thalj ! It Is In tho right direction few will ( . question. That it might be extend-, ed with nmplo funds If aid Is to bc( furnished most thoughtful men. I would concede! and tho plan has the peculiar value of being suscep-l tlble of Inueflnlto extension In ease tho results should be found to Jus-! tlfy II.
