Batchelder, of Wash- ington, D. C., executive chair- man American Automobile asso- ciation, a national authority on good roads, has written ex- clusively for this paper the fol- lowing statement on what the new good roads law, appropri- ating $75,000,000 for the im- provement of public highways, means to the country.—The Editor). By A. G. Batchelder. When the congress of the United States, in 1806, passed an act which met the approval of President Thom- as Jefferson and provided for the lay- ing out and construction of a road from Cumberland, Md., to Ohio, the commissioners entrusted with the work were given $4 a day in full compensation for their services and expenses. They were authorized to employ one surveyor, two chainmen, and one marker, the chainman re- ceiving $3 and the marker $1 per day. The first stage coach bearing United States mail from Cumberland to Wheeling traveled over this road August 1, 1818; and it continued as a federal artery of communication un- til between 1831 and 1844, when its parts were taken over by the states through which it passed. To Aid States. July 11, 1916, President Wilson, in the presence of a contingent of good roads. enthusiasts thus spoke: “I take a great deal of pleasure in signing this bill and having a part in the good work that has been done, particularly because it tends to thread the various parts of the country to- gether and assists the farmer in his intercourse with others.” The Bankhead-Schackleford good roads bill, after more than three- fourths of a century of passive pol- licy, accentuated the return of the federal government to the policy of aiding states in the construction of public highways. Carry Half Burden. From the federal treasury in the period of five years, $75,000,000 is to be distributed among the several states, on the condition that they con- tribute a like amount "and the joint money is spent upon whatever roads the state highway departments and the secretary of »agri’culture mutually agree'upon. In addition the measure carried $10,000,000 for the con- struction ‘of roads in and adjacent to national forest reserves. Withhold Apportionment, It should be noted that this federal co-operation with the several states sateguards the expenditure of -the money in a manner totally different propriation from the federal treas- ury. “While the duly constituted state authority suggests the roads which are ‘to be improved and the manner of the improvement, the federal authority exercises a super- vising power over the whole proceed- ing. - Furthermore, if the state does not properly maintain the road that has been constructed with national and state funds, its apportionment for the succeeding year is withheld until the first built highway receives the nceded repair to bring it up to the standard established. In order to qualify for any of the federal money, a state must . equip itself with a highway department; thus it is that Indiana, South Caro- lina, Georgia and Texas must pro- vide this machinery within a four- year period or forfeit its allotment; the money in the meantime remain- from that contained in any other ap-( AT THIS, ANGLE A PREVENTS SIDESWAY ing in the federal treasury. National System Coming. Since highways improvement start- ed with a co-operation between a state and its counties and resulted in first attention to the most used roads, and finally in the taking over by the states of the trunk lines, it is not unreasanable to assume that a similar development will take place in reference to the most important roads of the several states. First there will come a joint partnership, and ultimately the establishment of a national road system not dissimilar to the one which welds France into a complete nation, and, .except for incidental governmental convenience, obliterates the dividing lines among its several departments which are similar to our states. Good Roads Necessary. If we had forty-eight states, each one possessing relatively the same area, population and resources as the others, then it would be a reason- ble conclusion that a state from its own resources should build its aven- ues of communication as it provides other things in the public utility class. This also might be said of the county sub-divisions of a state. But a state is not divided into equal parts, nor is the nation divided into equal states. The inevitable ne- cessity in the building of that which serves a general good is to extend the area of taxation so that the na- tion as a whole will contribute and co-operate with the several states in such a way as to encourage them to- ward a gradual amalgamating of the largest commercial zones, and finally, the parts of which these zones are made up. Briefly this explains why the na- tional government must now include roads as one of the important things which have to do with national pros- perity. Of course, the self-pro- pelled vehicle, time-saving and dis- growing cohesiveness of the country as a whole. .. Before 1916 will have finished there will be an independent means of transportation for every thirty people. The present figure is over two million and a half vehicles and another million is being produced and sold in the present year. THIRD PARTY MEN MEET IN CHICAGO Indianapolis, Aug. 3.—Progressive party leaders from a number of states who disapproved the action of the party’s national committee in endors- ing Charles E. Hughes for president at its meeting in Chicago June 26, are here today to consider the ad- visability of reassembling the party’s national committee to nominate a candidate for president. John M. Parker of Louisiana, nom- inee for vice president, who issued the call for the conference, conferred with Progressive leaders from other states, but no definite plans have been agreed upon.
