Federal Aid For Roads
The Nebraska Farmer, under date of
February Slth contains a very 'merest
ing rtiticle relative to the much tils J
cussed Federal Road Aid Act, written.
by (ieo A. Kit'ker, consulting Highway
Coma issloner.
He likens farming to any other class
of uiKiehuiidisiug or manufacturing'
ami lajh consideiablc stress upon the
fait that the funnels, like the maun
fact 111 tr must have adequate transpor
tation fueilities, for unless lie 1ms some
way in which to bring the product of
the farm to tho market the greator
portion of his products are of small
value to him.
It is tlie intention of this bill to as
sist the state In the iiupiovemeut of
their roads. Ily the terms of this bill,
it Is provided "that auy state desiring
to avail Itself of the benefits of this
uct, shull, by Its state highway depart
ment, submit project statements set
ting forth proposed construction of
any rural post road" that It desires to
improve and it is left with the high
way department of the state, in co
operating with the county uuthoritieH
tumap out lis own roatls. It is there
fore a mistuke to suppose that the
road authorities at -Washington will
attempt to dictate what roods shall be
Improved.
In the congressional record of May
8, 1'JlG, there appears a table, compiled
by Congressman Ltppltt, showlug that
3G states will receive more than they
would pay, Nebraska paying 1202.500
aud receiving f 1,600,000. This dispon
es of .the argument that tho federal
government will bo taking out of one
of Nebraska's pockets. To take one
dollar in the form of corporation aud
income tax and give back six, looks
like a pretty fair bargain for Nebraska.
Regarding tho criticism made, that
this will develop into grafting, how
could this be possible? In order that
graftiug may bo made possible, It
would be necessary that the county,
state and national officials should be a
woll organized cousp'racy to defraud.
Where such a large number of people
are involved It would be difficult to
grafc even tho one or more oQlcials
should be willing to do so.
As was supposed, paving or hard sur
faoo roads will not be required, as the
Department of Hoads has ruled that
well graded earth roads, having good
drainage, peimaucnt culverts mid
bridges will bo entitled to receive fed
eral aid.
(lood roads makes it possible to havo
bettor educational ttdvuutuges'for the
rural boys and girls. They also reduce
cost of transportation.
The Federal Road Act is now a law
and tho appropriation has been made
therefore, unless Nebraska toss fit to
accept its provisions its legitimate
share will bo divided among the other
states

312 Miles of Automobiles
Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 2G. More than
$13,000,000 a year is bpont In Nebraska
just to run the automobiles, owned in
this state, whilo more than 170,000,000
is invested in tho machines on which
this money is spent. A memberof tho
ofllce force of the secretary of state
makes these estimates. While there is
no way to prove them, they are believ
ed to be extremely conservative. Here
are the results of his figuring:
There were 100,531 registered in 1010
At an average value of 1700 the total
value Is 170,373,800.
An average upkeep cost of (50 a car
would amount to 95,020,700 for all of
them.
If each car is run an average of 4,000
miles a year tho total mileage of al
the cars would be 402,130,000. Assuml
ing that ten miles is the average for a
gallon of gasoline, It took 40,213,600
gallons of gasolino to run N ebraska's
cars last year.
At an average of 20 cents a gallon
the gasoline cost 98,012,720.
A parade of all the cars, owned in
Nebraska, would string out for 312
miles. Monday's World-Herald. f
