—— TOWNSEND BILL FRAMED TO MEET MOTOR GAR BiG, sme FTE cuene =. TELLS 175 CONDITION When an automobile runs perfect- HIGHWAY NEEDS Federal Highway Commission and National System of Road Build- ing Would Be Provided by Law Yo establish a national highway policy, to create a federal highway commission which shall locate, con- struct and maintain entirely at the expense of the United States a nat-| the ional highway system, and to-encour- age efficient and economical high- way transportation. The above statement embodies the main purpose of the Townsend bill, 1 measure now pending in the con- uress of the United States. This ne ure was introduced by Senator Townsend, chairman of the senate committee on post offices and post roads, on June 2, 1919, read twice and referred to the proper com- inittee on June 3, where it now awaits further considerztion following the disposal of other impertent legisla- sion. Taking up its provisions in more , the purpose of the Townsend > to enlarge and concentrate the strative powers of the govern. its relution to read building. »3 to do this by creating a sp 1 body having exclusive charge of the administration of fed- eral highway effairs. It proposes to concentrate this enlarged power by laying ovt a certain definite policy of highway censtruction ,and setting the newly created power to the accom- plishment of that task. The Townsend bill is not dient, It the futu an expe- is framed to provide for it recognizes the fact in ed use of the public high- S¥Stem of county, state, and national), of the United States has brot about a condition which requires all hands on the joh—not one waiting) for the other hut each assigned tu a certain definite part of the logica! connections at.the boundary lines of te and the state highway de- on the other hand develop- in markets routes within state jurisdictign. « lt is the purpose*@f&the* Townse! bill to clothe the Federal Highway Commission with initiatory powers in order to insure the ecunomical loca- tion and development of the national system, It will be in no wise de- pendent upon the other factors out- side of itself. In the location of the Proposed nztional line it will take counsel with the states. Having taken ol, it will proceed with the con- on of the system along lines thut will render the greatest good to the greatest number. The one great purpose of tha nd Bill is to get somewhere OF The FUTURE in fitting the roads to modern use in ;Fesponse to modern demends. It secks to get the work done and put |cost reducing roads into full opera- tion throughout the entire country at the very earliest date possible. The Townsend bill makes certair provisions as to mileage. It proposes that the national highway system shall comprise not less than two per- cent nor more than five per cent of total mileage actually used as such in any state. To this extent each state will be relieved of future construction and maintenance of whatever mileage may be embraced in the national ‘system. Each state therefore will benefit to the extent of having its financiel burden lifted in the construction and permanent maintenance of its heaviest trailic lines, leaving it free to develop con- necting lines within its own borders. 5P° In proposing the creation of a fed- eral highway commission for the con- struction and development of Amer- ican highways upon a scale commen-, surate with the needs of the present, and to make edequate provision for e future, the Townsend bill is pro- eding upon the logical lines of nat- ional growth. Public highways have reached degree of importance in public ser- vice which calls for a broadening of administrative powers, and the plac- ing of such administration upon an equal footing with other depertments of the government. This the Town- send bill proposes to do without tak- ing from, but adding to the func- tions of the state highway depart- |merts. It proposes to do this by es- |tablishing a definite permanent pol- ‘ icy of practical and ¢! eration, to the 1 th co-op- a complete highways may begin serving the pub- lic within the present decade. ———— Evidence— "Ss he be a jolly good likene “Why “She photo must had it two days, : to any one AD TO MARKET " by Flour Mills, Proves Good Advertisement In the olden days it was only the corn doctor, the bric-a-brac salesman and a few others of their ilk who toured from town to town demon- strating and selling their wares, Now almost everybody is doing it. The most substantial business houses have gone extensively into the personal demonstration business, appreciating the value of getting in direct contact | with the market. But instead of the | old tumbledown spring wagon end weary horse, they use fine, speedy and reliablo motor cars. It is. the motor car, in fact, that is largely re- ible for this new method of ad- vert g. It affords them the wide ‘ange and the fleetness which in the former days made such sales methods costly and cumbersome. Many of the largest concerns in the country have bought cars solely for demonstretion purposes. Among them are the Fisher Flouring Mills tof Seattle. “Blend,” the company’s dusky chef, is making a tour of Wash- ington, Oregon and Idaho, making mouths water everywhere with his appetizing Scotch “scones” and _ bis- cuits. The baking is done in an elec- tric oven with which his Dodge Brothers business car is equipped. Great crowds collect about the car whenever it stops and “Blend” dishes out the delicacies as fest as he can ake them.
