MILLIONS EXPECTED TO GO
INTO THE NATION'S HIGHWAYS
Bond Issues Have Been Passed and Will be Placed Before
People Amounting to $S23,300,000. The Present
Year to be One of Heavy Expenditures.
Highway bond issues aggregating
the enormous sum of $823,300,000
have been or shortly will be placed
before the electorate or legislative
bodies in 2 states of tbe union.
Of this amount $177,800,000 has
alreday been finally authorized for
use on the highways of seven states
the legislatures of 12 states have
referred issues amounting to $411,
500,000 back to the people tor final
decision; four states are either now
or soon will be considering prelimi
nary steps looking to the referen
dum of $145,000,000 in bonds, and
three states have decided against
measures amounting to $35,000,000.
Aid By Congress.
In few, if any of the instances is
all of the money so provided author
ized for expenditure in full in tho
current year. Most of the sums will
range over periods of three years
or more, but taken in conjunction
by the recent session of Congress,
minor enactments in numerous other
states and a veritable land slide of
county bond issues in all parts of the
United States, the program in its
entirety easily takes first rank among
the domestic activities of the coun
try. Commenting upon these appropri
ations, William E. Metzger, of the
highways committee of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
said :
"While these figures appear im
pressive at first glance, and while
they do show to a very marked de
gree the public interest in highways,
there is one weakness in the chain
which should be kept prominently
before the people of the country.
Xo Interstate Phrase.
"In all these expenditures not one
single provision is made for curing
for the needs of Interstate commerce.
The states naturally vote their mon
ey to improve the highways which
are most important to them and the
counties are following the same
course. It would appear that na
tional funds Bhould'be devoted to
national interests, but under our
present law the money is scattered
among the states without regard to
the fact that a very large percent
age of traffic spills over state lines.
"Further, these sums are distrib
uted down through the counties' In
a number of instances, divided con
trol results and in its trail we find
waste and inefficiency.
"Expenditures of this kind are
worth while from a business stand
point, but they should be adminis
tered in a business like way. The
government should devote its energy
and- the task is big enough to call
for a federal highway commission
to direct national appropriations."
Bond issues finally ratified to date
are as follows:
Oregon $10,000,000
Nevada 1,000,000
Utah 4,000,000
Wyoming 2.800.000

It Is a very good plan to shift the
cross links of tho tire chains from
time to time. Thut is, move them
so that they do not depend on the
same lln of the main chain all of the
time. Tbe wear and tear on the tire
chain centers at the links to which
the cross chains are attached, and tor
this reason moving these latter from
time to time spreads the wear.

BIGGER-BETTER-MORE POWER
STK.
H
Concisely describes the 1919 Velie Six. Bodies have been enlarged and made
more comfortable. The chassis has been bettered by the use of improved Tim
ken axels and disc clutch. The .Red Seal Continental Motor gives more power
with even greater efficiency and economy than enjoyed heretofore. Compare
cars. Compare them feature for feature for power, for smoothness, for appear
ance, for comfort, for price, for everything you desire in the automobile you buy.
On such a comparison we are well satisfied to leave the Velie to your judgment.
fhe Velie Six
Is by right of superiority the leader in the Light Six Field
It is generally admitted that the VELIE has made more automobile history the
past few years than any other car, regardless of price.- Now, with a new Six, dis
tinct and apart from the commonplace, even more desirable mechanically, if that
be possible, all Velie friends, owners and dealers alike, will be proud of their al
legiance to Velie principles.
