Eastern politics, plus a misconcep
tion of the purpose back of federal
aid. may Imperil th present highway
policy of tho national government.
There is every Indication that the cru
cial test will come at the next session
of congress. The west must be united
if federal aid for road construction is
to be continued.
This opinion is tthured genernlly by
western highway builders who havo
been In close touch with tho situation.
The time to sound the alarm is now.
We must be up and doing or we will
loso the funds without which high
way construction cannot be continued
in many sections west of the Rocky
mountains.
Not Concerned With Academic Dis
cussion. The wont is not concur tied with aca
demic discussions of state's rights in
dulged in by eastern politicians; it
will continue to demand federal aid
in the construction of highways as
an Income to which it Is entitled.
These funds are asked of the federal
government because It owns millions
upon millions of ncres In western
states mineral lands, national for
ests. Indian lands, national parks
which are not taxable, from which
no revenue comes to the states, but
across which they are expected to con
struct splendid highways for the ac
commodation and pleasure of eastern
tourists, coining westward In ever in?
creasing numbers.
Committee Hearings Important.
The public lands committeo of the
United Slates senato Is about to con
duct it series of hearings to inquire
into the public land policy of the na
tional government. Officials of west
ern states should not fail to call the
highway situation to the attention of
he committee.
The public domain, which In sev
eral western- slates is considerably
greater in area than all New England,
Is as much the properly of New York
as it is the property of the state in
which It Is located. Eastern and middle-western
states, having squandered
their forests, demand conservation of
nationally-owned timber areas in the
west. I do not criticize that policy,
but it ought to be taken into consid
eration In determining highway ap
propriations. ,
Eastern senators are complaining
against the federal aid appropriation
because, they assert, their states pay
more In federal taxes than they re
ceive back In federal appropriations.
Are we a nation or a confederation
of states? Shall all the taxes paid
on Broadway be expended on Broad
way, or for other necessary govern
mental purposes throughout New
York City? Where would California
bo If all the state, taxes collected in
San Francisco and Los Angeles were
expended only in these cities? Tho
Htate government could not exist un
der such a plan. And such a policy
would wreck the national government.
Federal Aid ami the Constitution.
Federal appropriations for high
ways are in accord with both the
letter and spirit of the constitution.
As pointed out by Mr. Floyd C. Booe,
stitutlon of the I'nitcd States author
ment, section S of article 1 of the con
of the Nevada state highway depart
izes congress
"To levy and collect taxes,
and provide for the ien-
eral welfare of the United Slates."
Another clause of Die same section
authorizes congress "to establish post
offices and post roads," This author
iKatloii precedes tho authorization for
t ho creation of courts, support of
armies and navies and other Import
ant powei-K of congress. In the early
history of tho country numerous ap
propriations were made for the con
struction of national roads, until the
invention of the, steam locomotive put
highways in tho background to await
the coming of tho automobile.
Tho authority of congress to make
such appropriations has never been
seriously questioned. And at this time
.such appropriations should not bo
considered subsidies. Tho slates are
building the highways, the federal
government Is merely helping pay the
bill. Some wealthy eastern states get
along without federal aid; possibly
California could, but many states can
not. Must Have a National System of High
way. Interstate highway transportation Is
more tmpnrtzint today than ever be
fore In our history. Wo must fight
the forces of disintegration by making
It easy for tho people of every part
of the natlpn to visit each other. We
must become one nation, 0110 people.
Federal aid means continuity in our
highway construction -11 truly nation
al system of highways reaching into
every part of tho country. The work
of building such a system now well
planned under the present policy, will
be Impeded, probably halted alto
gether, if federal aid Is not conlnued.
The west must mnko the nation realize
tills fact. America does not want
many unconnected state .highway sys
tems. It needs and must have one
great national nyntcm of , Improved
roads.
Convalescing?
ANYONE recuperating from an illness needs
very special food. It must be highly nour
ishing and well-balanced yet must put no extra
strain on the digestion. And of course it must
be appetizing.
Borden's, the Improved Malted Milk, meets
all these needs as no other food and no other
malted milk can.
