ulatlnz‘the demand for modern meth-
ods of highway building that consti-
tute a complete revolution and evolu-
tion of this phase of our outlonal prog-
ress. '
In this revolution of highway con-
struction It has been found that the
old methods of building highways are
entirely inadequate. Dirt and clay
roads that were made possible by et-
bow grease. simple scrapers and the
pick and shovel are now achieved in
a more modern manner through the
compelling power of sticks of dyna-
mite fortified by energizing steam shov-
els, road building machinery and mod-
ern road building products.

to be attached to the highest source:
of information. that Congress will at-
tempt to create a brand new set 01‘.
laws for the purpose of making that
public roads as much a part of tho;
nation's busincsc as are the affairs of
the army and navy. Road building,
it is contended, must be recognized by,
the United States Government as I,
profession and trade.
That the country is alive to the. m.»-
cessities of reconstructing the higb~
ways is further evidenced by the fact
that Illinois has authorized a bond
issue of $60,000,000, while PenDSylva-
nia has voted $50,000,000 of. bonds for
public highways. These are the two
biggest bond issues for state m
building in the history or the world.
For the some reason that it bemmu
necessary to replace. 50 and 60 pound
rails with double that weight upon all
the standard railroads of the United
States when increased transportation
demanded heavier locomotives and
rolling stock, so has it now licrrmo
necessary to meet a similar condition
in respect to our principal public itigh~
ways, in View of the incrcasevl weight
and speed of vehicles. The new con-
ditions confront every part of tho
country and each community must as'
sumo. the initiative in' gettin: road
building start-3d. Those that will be
favored by better highways first will
be those that are most insistent upon
having them. “Put our taxes to a real
business use," is the demand in Shim!
fishi.‘
It may be said, with the dcfinlteness
