Road projects must be approved by
the Department of Agriculture and
the law is entirely silent on the na

to the state. "If this law fails to
work, responsibility will rest on tha
Department of Agriculture, for it is

"Congress leaves hands off, and there

"No Ptork Barrel in New Law."
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. Tho money will be divided
;mong the states, one third in the '
tie of the area, one third on the
bas.iM of population nnd one third on ;
tho basis of the number of miles of
ru.il delivery routes. Payments for:
