How It Would Work To illustrate th. practical working of tbe plan, let ua auppor that all 1 " ----- i- NVVNSv .i"v'., w - i i j SENATOR JONATHAN BOURNE, Jr. Copyright by Harris A Ewlng. the Slates avail themselves of the opportunity of utilizing tbe superior criwllt of the United States up to the 20 per cent, annual limitation for each State. We would aave $200, 000,000 of fifty-year semi annual 4 per cnt. State bonds deposited with the Treasurer of the I'nlted States, upon which collateral the Secretary of tbe Treasury would offer for popu lur subscription, at not lesa than par and upon a pro rata allotment basis. $200,009,000 of 3 per cent. Federal bonds, and from the $200,000,000 ob tained in the sale of the same pay to the States the par amount of their bonds according to tbe percentage of apportionment aet forth ln tbe bill. The Federal Government would re ceive from the Statea, in senil-annu.i) paymenia. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent., or $S,000.000 annually, -mi of which It would pay to tbe Investors tu the Federal bonds $6,000,000 annu ally, to pay annual Interest of 3 per cent, on $200,000,000 I'nlted States fifty-year 3 per cent bonds, leaving an excess of $2,000,000 annually re ceived from tbe Slates over what tbe Federal Government would pay ln iut ervst charges on a similar amount of Federal bonds. On this exceaa of $2,000,000 the Fed eral Government would allow 3 per cent, annual compound Interest At tbe end of 46.89 yeara this sinking j fund would amount, under thla plan, to $200,000,000, ao that the Federal Government would have the funda to pay off the bonds It had Issued to tho public for which It held tbe State bonds a6 collateral, and at the end of fifty yeara from the date of Issu ance of the State bonds the Federal Government would return aald bonds to the respective Statea, marked "Can celled." Benefit to States. rty depositing their bonds with tbe Federal Government aa collateral and utilising tb. superior credit, of the Federal Government in getting mon y at 3 per cent, the Statea would ulti mately have received $200,000,000 oaah at 1 nor rent, cheaner interest than tbey themselves could secure in a public sale of their own bonds. Tb'a utilisation of tbe Federal Gov ernment's superior credit, without any greater expense to the States than tb-a Interest charge alone if tbey sold tiielr bonds in tbe open market, together with th- Federal Government's 3 per cent, annual Interest allowance, would provide the fund with which tbe obli aiiinn nf tha Ktntoa would ba entirely liquidated at tbe expiration of fifty years. The proceeds from tbe sale of the FuLral hnnda would be turned over to the highway commissions in the State., an instrumentality wnicn bhould be directly responsive and ac- tnl. In In the electorate of the Statea, tbus preventing interference with State right, and eliminating any legal supervision on th. part of t ie Federal Government and minimizing the danger of building up a large Fed eral bureau. At tbe same time co-operation would be assured through realization on the part of the member of tbe State high way commissions tbat although tba Federal district engineers would bave no legal supervision as to the expend iture of money put Into construction of roads, yet in their Inspection of the malntpnanca of roads the Federal dis trict engineers would necessarily learn whether the road construction naa been honest and Intelligent, and the anticipation of this maintenance in spection by Federal agents would cause tbe State engineers to do bet ter construction work. Thus is cre ated an equal optional opportunity to all the Statea. True, some States will have to adopt constitutional amend ments before tbey can issue bonds for public Improvements. Under my plan, however, the Federal Government fur nishes the opportunity. Each State must decide if it desirea to accept It If so, it must here comply with tne Federal requirements. It could take as much or as little money aa it desired, except that it could not exceed 20 per cent of Us apportionment ln any one year, and ln an aggregate of years could not exceed Its total apportion ment The 20 per cent per annum limita tion and the fact that States repre senting practically SO per cent of tha proportional allotment would have to amend their Constltutiona before per mitted to issue bonds for public im provement clearly shows that not over $100,000,000 nf Federal bonda would be offered lor sale In any one year. Would the people absorb this amount of Fed eral 3 per cent, nontaxable fifty-year bonds? In my opinion tbey unques tionably would. These bonds being nontaxable would be the equivalent of a 4 per cent tax able bond, especially If the contem plated Income tax be enacted. The banks of the United States showed tbe following individual de posits on June 14, 1912: National banks Mutual savings banks Stock saving banks Rlnte banka Private banka Loan and trust companies Total Knta, ihait 3 90 nee cent la the aver age rate of interest to depositors in the G30 mutual savings Danaa, au-i 3.03 per cent to 3.64 per cent ia the rate of interest paid depositors ln the 1.292 stock savings bank. There can nn slnuht hut what denositor ln these institutions would prefer the Federal 3 per cent nontaxable bonds wllh tho Government credit behind tbem to the security and Interest of fered by the savings banka. In 1913 that Volume nf transactions in the 151 Clearing House, of the I'nlt.rl Ktaloa am 116S.506.320..100. With this volume of clearance the American people would certainly ao a,irh If elven an oDDOrtunitV. $100.- 000,000, or several hundred millions of fifty year 3 per cent, nontaxable Fed eral bonds. Idle Money Would Be invested. On June 30. 1912. according to the Comptroller of the Currency, there was $3,264,500,000 of coin and otbjr money in the United State., of which $1,563,800,000 was In the banks, tius leaving $1,700,700,000 In tbe tills, nnekntR. and stocking of tbe people, a large proportion of which amount would undoubtedly te invested in these Federal bonds If offered for pop ular subscription on a pro rata, allot ment basis. Th i-onnirement that the bonds shall ha. miri hv null He aubscrlDtion and up on a pro rata allotment basis would prevent a few very ncn men acquir ing the bonds in the original purchase. In nnrlue fnr them to BCOUlre EQOr-i than their proportional allotment un der the original subscriptions, they would have to pay other aubacribers and allottees such premiums a tbey would be willing to accept Maintenance of roads is a factor which should be given weight equal with onnatnictlnn. The Federal Gov ernment, by the suggested plan, would contribute donate, lr you piease to nch Sinle 2 ner cent of the total amount of Federal aid that had been extended to the State for construction In utilization of the Federal Govern ment's (uperior credit Thua. the Statea. if they deposited the aggregate of $200,000,000 of State bonds during any one year and re-..tv- i -nil nun ooo in monev from the Federal Government would thereafter receive $4,000,000 annualy aa a direct contribution from the Government nenvtriori theaa statea emended an equal amount for annual maintenance. Where direct Federal contribution are made. It Is desirable that direct Federal supervision should be provid ed, and here we again get Into the dan ger xone of the creation of a great Federal bureau. France, after a hundred and fifty year effort and expenditure of a bil lion and a hair dollar ln building up its system of roads, tas 371,000 miles with 80.000 patrolmen for care and maintenance. The United State haa today. In round numbers, 2,200,000 milea of road, ana u we naa a pairoi man to maintain every Ave mile of road we would have an organization of 449,000 Federal employe directly re sponsive to a bureau h-ere in Wash ington, and the tendency woulB be for Us centralization aa a political ma chine, which, under our system of Government would absolutely control the political machinery of the coun try. . To minimize this uinger. and. I think, avoid aame, I would suggest that either In the law or by author ized rule and regulation we divide the I'nlted Slates Into Federal road districts composed of Stat or group of States containing approximately 50,000 mile of roads and create In the Office of Public Roads a number of district road and bridge engineer. to that there would be one Federa'. representative for each district. Tho duties of thla engineer would be to go over hi district and report to tbe United States Highway Com mission here In Washington whether the annual malntenano contribution of the Government apportioned to that district had been intelligently and hon estly expended. He could also give lecture as opportunity permitted, r garding road engineering and practi cal construction, also furnish tba Btatd highway commissions with such Information as th. Federal bureau had touching on the subject but neither he nor his superior, the Fed eral Director of Public Roads, would bave tto right to withhold the Federal maintenance actually contributed to his district simply because bis judg ment differed from that of tb. Stale highway commission with referenca'o Intelligent and honest expenditure of the Federal part of the maintenance fund. , The United 8tate Highway Com mission, consisting of tbe Chairman of the two Committees on Post Office and Post Roads, with tbe Director of Public Roads, would have the final voice and decision as to whether this fund should be withheld or not My idea In making tbe two Chair men of the Post Offices and Post Roads Committees ex offcio members of the highway commission Is that much valuable information could be secured from the 43,000 rural carrlera under the Fourth Assistant Por master General's jurisdiction and which comes directly under that of these congressional committees, and for the further reason that as an ex penditure of ..lie people's monay ia involved, and as Congress under our form of government is the only direct representative of the people, the de terminative power of withholding maintenance should be in Congress and not ln a bureau; and for the still further reason that tbe patrol system built up in the States and responsive to tbe State highway commissions, if under the subservience of the Federal bureau, would be responsive to a Fed eral head and the danger would exist of building up a big Federal political machine.

The creation of a Federal academy of engineering for road and bridge construction here in Washington ap peal strongly to me aa desirable to provide a National institution for the education and Increased efficiency of technical expert, so that an annual supply of qualified engineers would be furnished from which the States could draw for their State and dis trict BuperviBion, and I would suggest liberal appropriation for that insti tution, and the creation herein of a National laboratory in which to test all road material aent in by citizen or State highway commissions to the Federal bureau to secure Information and advice in reference to available material for both road construction and maintenance. The Federal bureau would act a.i a medium for the dissemination of in formation bearing particularly on the subject of good road and bridge con struction according to the experience and development of that art not only here in thla country but throughout the world. Strong Feature of Plan. In conclusion, I realize that the sug gested bill can undoubtedly be im proved, but after many weeka' thought and study on the subject it appeals to my mind aa presenting a plan of whlcn at least some portions can be utilized to advantage. Incentive to the State for activity and expedition ln road construction by utilization of the superior credit of the Government. The establishment of practical and desirable co-operation between the Federal Government and the States. Team work between the Federal specialists on good road and the State specialists, without subservience ln the State Instrumentality to any Fed eral bureau or department Tbe establishment of a practical, concrete plan for a long period with definite knowledge aa to the liability of the Federal Government. Its liabil ity in the Indorsement of tbe State credit t-eing Inconsequential in one. viewpoint, namely, that tne State would ever default either on principal or Interest of its bonds. A bond limitation of 10 per cent of assessed property valuation, with realization that default In payment of interest or principal to the Fed eral Government must result ln dis continuance of future Federal assist ance and cessation -of immigration or further outside investment In the State, would eliminate possibility of any default Under my plan the maximum an nual liability of the Federal Cover ment would be a $20,000,000 contribu tion for maintenance, thna relieving Member of both branches of Con gress from the tremendous pressure 1 for increased appropriation in van ! ... n-rtaainn-il it'strlct and States. The minimization of the possibility of building up a great Federal ma chine necessarily resultant upon di rct supervision by a Fedrul bureau or jrivlig a department head tiie right ef determination as to whether Fed eral funds should continue or not.
