A bill ha Jut lwn IntnxluceJ In the ,
house of representative and referral to !
the committee on appropriation for the
creation of a special commission on high
ways. It provide that one senator, two
representatives, the chief of eneineers of
the army, the director of the peoloslcal ,
survey and the chief of road Inquiry of j
the department of agriculture shall con
stitute a commission to continue during i
the life of the present congress, to make
reports by bill or otherwise, and to in- j
quire generally how the govenrment may j
promote the improvement of highway
the scientific location of roads on the
public domain, the employment of the j
geological survey In the discovery of read
material, the free testing of road ma
terials, the construction of road ma
terials, the construction cf model road
and Instruction In roaJmaktng at agri
cultural colleges and experiment station,
the military academy, and, when prac
ticable, at all Institutions having a mili
tary Instructor. The commission is alo
to confer with the Interstate commerce!

secure reduced rates for the transporta
tion of road materials, and by conference
with state authorities and organizations
to aid in awakenlrg general Interest in
road Improvement.
At this tige of the pood roads move
ment It is r.Jt necessary to speak of ;he
value of the work. The need of better
highways in the interest of all classes Is
generally recognized, but, as with every
other reform, the chief obstacle to over-
come is the Inertness of people who kn3w
" " uul "o
..- w uo ,i ana are n.'t yet stirr-0
up to activity. Local and even state In-1
ier.i in road Improvement can accom-
pilsli- much, but the tendency In every
enterprise Involving the spending ot j
muuex i ior me small oouy to Bang b?- ;
hind the larger. The natural supposition 1
would be that the farmers who use the;
Toaas most would be first to dcmanl
their perfection, but they hesitate to
spe'id more money than neighboring '
communities, and It is only with em.our-
gemeiit from the state lliat they can be
induced to make any outlay. So the
states need to be aroused to a common
interest in the subject, and the citizens ;
need to feel that it Is a matter of com-'
mon concern, until a town w ill come to j
lonsider it a disgrace to have such roads
as are now too often endured wiih no at-:
tempt at Improvement.
It is not the function of the national !
government f.o undertake the construe-'
Hon of wagon roads In the states, but
Mr. Crisp- objection, made four years ;
ago, that It Is an Infringement of state'
rights to Inqulie into the condition of
roads In the states and to encourage
their betterment, is not wor'hy of s ritnis
consideration. The educational enter
prises of the federal government have
gone too far for the revival of the old
Internal Improvements controversy of ;i
years ago, and It is not proposed to re-

1 the fact remains that Ihi would un
I douhte.lly I a result of the acceptance
j of the donation we den t think ttut It was
J the mctive that ttnpelh.l the Welch fain
j lly to make the offer. Whether It w;ts

J the city Is concerned There 1 an obsta

, . ,.. , ... . . I
win pixviuue in in) acwi'iiiiK nu" pie'l- i
caition now or at any other time. It is
utterly unreasonable to think thut the
ctlli' n of Astoria will allow their pub
lic park to b saddled with the name of
j any private Individual, when the sole
claim of that tr.lividual to such an honor
Is the donation o; a small fraction of the 1
property. Neither Is It reasonable to '
suppose that otVr prcinrty owners who j
are prepared to give as freely and a
generously as the Welch family towards
Ihi worthy object are willing to have
I their unconditional donation bunched to
gether under the name cf the "Nancy
W'lch Tark."
It seem to us unfortunate that Mr.
Welch lit tievl this six acre offer up In
such a way as to make It Impossible of '
j acceptance. A sift with undetachable
strings on It is no gift at all. and If a
cltixon Is public' spirited enough to do '
a gen-roua thing he ought to look for '
