WASHINGTON. D. r C With
more than a million dollars a day
pouring Into the Taxloas .state
highway treasuries from motor re
ticle license fees ' and 'gas, tax.
Lpolitical pressure Is tncreaoing for
a wider application of this Income
and the inclusion of the lateral or
secondary "road la lmprorement
programs to a larger degree than
has been the rule In tbe past,
' JusUflcatlon for this demand,
accordlnaj'to a. bulletin from the
American ' Highway Educational
Bureau, appears to be grounded in
the fact that automotlre income
1 derlred. not from the main road
wholly, but from all roads, and
that while there has been and still
Is; an' : economic need for concen
trating construction and mainten
ance on main routes, the time has
arrired when the secondary road
should be -glren a larger share of
attention. ; Otherwise there will be
a pyramiding of necessity for still
hearler types of construction : on
main routes to the further neglect
of. the lateral roads, for.lt is now
a well demonstrated fact that traf
fic becomes more dense and loads
juTOn in weight is: fast ,aa thick
ness and width are increased. : I i .
The question arises, therefore,
whether it were not better-1& get
more roads into daily serylce by
applying a larger share of present
highway Income to the simple and
tnexpensire principle of 1 better
drainage on lateral roadways, and
thus spread traffic rather than in
crease its density by packing It
still farther into ; so-called main
routes.
A study of progress charts is
beginning to show that there la a
trace of economic error in the
preTaillng belief that a road la not
a. road untll lt is pared, whereas
it really becomes a road in a mod
ern sense when it has been well
drained and thereby brought In to
dally use. . ;
Idle roadways due ;to poor
drainage are getting to be an ex
pensire bit of public property, the
bulletin concludes, and it Is not
economic heresy to insist : that
roads in this condition should be
giren a larger share in automotire
and gas tax receipts. On this point
It Is believed that leglslatlTe.. ac
tion In the future In state assem
blies -will . Intensify toward the
principle of a wider and more in
clusive' distribution of monies re
ceived from the automobile J for
road ImproTement. - ' ;-

"From the very beginning of

of this unbroken policy. It trains
