It has been sug- | gested that the Federal road ald system | be extended to the construction of these | highwa Senator Phipps of Colorado, chairman {of the Senate committe¢ on post of- | fices and post roads, House Leader Til- | son, Representative Robsion of Ken- tucky, ranking Republican member of | the House committee on public roads, | and Lester P. Barlow, Detroit engineer, | were in the delegation which called | upon the President, urging the Phipps Robsion resolution now pending in both |the House and Senate, which calls_for creation of such a commission. The | President’s attention also was invlted, | to the fact that the carrying out of the | proposals for establishment of an ex- | press motorways program might. offer a solution of the problem of unemploy- ment. 1 | “Numerous suggestions have been | | made recently,” Mr. Tilson said after the conference, “looking toward estab- lishment of A national system of ex- press motorways connecting large cen- | ters of population throughout —the country Experts on highway problems agree that many links in a system. of this character ‘should now be built and the cost. of these amortized over a period of years out of tolls. The large income derived from toll bridges, of which there are now hundreds throughout the coun- us places, offers proof that the opinion of experts on this question is sound. A program of this character could be carried out in such a manner as to stabilize employment conditions, work | beiug reduced to a minimum when the | labor demands of private industry are | large, and expanded when private in- stry is depressed. | “The problem is {00 vast to be hastily considered. All we are suggesting at| this time is the creation of a commission to study the proposal. No one wishes toll roads or toll bridges, If they can be avolded, but it is betfer to have a | system of publicly owned national ex- press motorways which shall be toll roads for a time and then become free than to have arterles of transportation blocked by numerous toll bridges and perhaps later by stretches of toll roads which privately owned and | operated.

The District Commissioners today sent a favorable report on the free | text book bill to Senator Arthur Cap- | per, chairman of the Senate District | committee. The bill proposes to place | free of charge in the hands of all stu- ents at the senior and junior high hools the text books and supplies needed in the pursuit of their studies. This is already done in the case of elementary schools and for those stu- dents in the junior high schools who | belong to the eighth grade, but 1t will | take special legislation to supply the | students above the elghth grade. Last vear the bill was approved by the Com- | missioners and sent up to Congress, | but was not enacted. The bill has also | ihe approval of the Budget Bureau, | which held that it was not “in conflict | with the financial program of the Presi- dent.” | To place the system in effect, the| commmission estimates would call for an initial expenditure of $242,088, followed by annual bills of about $100,000. Of the latter sum. about $45.000 will go for replacement of old, wornout and un- sanitary texts and the balance for sup- plies. | Elementary school children have been supplied with hooks at the cost of the taxpayers since 1891, and the present desire to extend the supply fo the high school children is based largely on the recently passed compulsory attendance law, which compels children to remain in school until they have completed the grammar grades or reached the age of 16. The practical effect of this is that many children are by law compelled to high schools and pay for their the commissioners’ re- port_stated, usually for home libraries, and the re. sult of the present system is that thousands of books are purchased an- nually by parents only to be discarded at the end of the year. ‘The commissioners also pointed out that free text books are provided to high school pupils in Arizona, Mary- land, Nevada, Rhode Island, California, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Texas, Montana, New Jersey, Wyoming, Nebraska, Pennsylyania and Delaware (with the exception of, the city of Wil- | mington) and New York Cit; estertielC SUCH POPULARITY MUST BE DESERVED | medal when his P, ., MONDAY.
