..dol importance. .not so much be-
me it carries. with it out oi the Fed-
.Il Treasury all appropriation of 83
Ms of dollars, not because it will
hurt by an appropriation of 73 mil-

at?! )le insignificant in comparison
' - M amounts the States are now an-
ally expending and tvlll spend dur-
hg the period covered by the act.

“i remember that, on can contain.
when i was speaking to a public of-
Iehl about the road bill and sunset-I
,od that we ought to begin with a mod-
test initial appropriation of three, fob,
, or five millions of dollars, he expressed
surprise and said that such an amount
would not‘get us anywhere; that the
expenditure by the nation of a few
millions of dollars for roads yould he
merely trifling with the matter. I
asked him it he knew what the people
of the nation were contributing an-
nually for road building, that the na-
tion was already expending the equiva-
lent of nearly half of what the Panama
Canal has cost. Of course he did not.
And the majority of people do not real-
ise that the nation is expending ap~
proximately $250,000,000 a year for
roads.
A Dollar’s Result for Each Dollar
Expended.
“The main question that i am im-
mediately concerned with that the peo‘

if we do so and we can convince the
people that we have (lolltt' so, lllt y will

Therefore, :he matter of administer-
in;r this law, oi devising good l'outi Fylt'
lt-ms. of careful N‘lif’llull of roads, of
formulating projects, of developing
plans and specifittttions, of having all
matters considcrcd on their mcrit by
t-ompetcnt men, seem to me to lie at
the root of this business. It, alt the
result of this act the people are in-
duced fully to realize the necesaity of
placing skillful and experienced men
in charge of road building and road
maintenance, a grcat advantc w #5;th
been made and the efforts of thme
who labored to secure the legislation
will have been retvat‘dcd.

“I assume, as it matter of necessi'y.
iltat this law will require the cmploy-
merit in every State of experts, of real
exllt‘l‘lfi. This word is very much
misused and abused, as the word theo-
l frwpwntly hear a contrast
drawn bctwvcu the theorists and the
practital mcu. Then» is no basis for it
The classification ought to be into
good theorists and ltad theorists. of
practical men and impractical mm.
A really ltrood theorist is highly prac-
tical; and so is a real expert. The
public is somewhat suspicious of (-x‘
pct-ts, because, i think, 'so many po-
ple pose as experts who are not. When
‘llt‘ public t-‘cts an expert aside, it is
worth while to inquire carefully into
the expert's claims and competency.

tate trained intelligence in the service
of tho State as well as in the service
