Washington, July 28. No "pork barrel scandals" will result from the new Shackleford good roads law just signed by President Wilson, the au thors declare. Instead they expect tho system established, that of con tributing federal aid to the states for the construction of good roads, will be fo free from criticism and so help ful in building up a system of internal improvements, that Congress will be willing after the $75,000,000 is spent, to vote new appropriations. Good roads advocates say the new law is cpochmnking. It is intended, to gether with the rural credit system, to improve the conditions of country lif.i and to stop the flow of population from tho country to the city. Good ronds, with the automobile, will de- slr.-v fhl lnnpl.. ovitttnnen nf tha firm er. Opportunities of association with neighbors, it is believed, will make the ft co'i'itry boy more willing to stay on : i the farm. If the automobile owners think the Shackleford law is intended solely for them, they are badly fooled. 1 So says Representative Saunders of JU Virginia, one of the authors. "There ; , will be a howl going up to heaven if i J the Department of Agriculture nicks , T for improvement only such main 1 b roads as the automobile owners ore- : fer," said Saunders today. He is an 1 automobile owner himself. "We want the backroads improved for the man ' f ivnu nuw is nemmcu in on ail sides in winter by impassible ronds." The ap- ' propriations, under the provision of th law, will be paid to the state in tWe installments $5,000,000 the first1 year, $10,000,000 tho second year.' $15 000,000 the third year, $20,000,000 , tlie tourth year, and $25,000,000 the fifth year.
