THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, IND.

PRESIDENT WILSON GIVES FORCE TO MOVEMENT FOR BETTER ROADS

Whatever Indiana accomplishes in a big' wav in road bui 1d i ng, canngt_ bu; feel the effects of the big nonpartisan “Good Roads” day, as a part of the Indiana Celebration, when President Wilson came to Indianapolis to make a speech on good roads, and reviewed. from the Soldiers and Sailors’ Monument, the (exact center of Indiana road systeni, a parade of autos tfiat represented every part pf the state. President Wilson came with the message of better roads, as a means to a fuller life arid larger civilization. He has' given his support to national building of roads, to the federal ‘aid for the states which, have highway departments. Indiana is to get more than two million dollars, if the legislature at this session creates the highway department. Indiana joins, with Texas and South Carolina as being without the z fbld of states having highway departments. President Wilson brought with him the word “co-operation,” that is still the battle cry in the. movement for the State Highway department, which, Jt is intended' to build a system of main markethighways with government aid that will be a tribute to the judgment of Indiana men. The president said: “It is perfectly obvious that you must have an intricate and perfect network of roads throughout the length and breadth of this great continent before you will have released the energies of America. Good roads are necessary for •every practical aspect of our lives, to draw neighborhoods together, to create community of feeling, to create those arteries which may be compared to the arteries of the human body, “So that the words I want you to carry in your mind in connection with this goocH roads cause are these:

LUKE W. DUFFEY

Introducing the bill creating the State Highway Department, Representative _Luke W. Duffey, from Marion county, became parent of a legislative child, of which he is mighty proud. Duffey, in close touch with farming and business., interests of the state and born a good roads enthusiast,, has been one of the workpra who have been untiring for shaping events so that the State Highway Department, the acceptance of federal aid in road building, standardization of- specifications, etc., is inevitable.

RALSTON NAMED OFFICIALS

Gathered Much Va’cmble Information, Force of Which Is Seen In Good Roads Ideas, , " When Samuel M. Ralston gave over his duties as Governor of Indiana to James P. Goodrich, there passed from the service a real good roads enthusiast. ' The work Ralston did for good roads wilFbe long remembered. Much pf the enthusiasm of the present day for better roads and' the belief that Indiana should have a highway department, with the state deriving the benefit of Federal' bid, comes from the missionary work done under his administration and under the spirit of his enthusiasm. The report of the high way sion, appointed by him June 22, 1914 —the report being made Dec. 26, 1914—was one of the forward steps toward the consummation of an ideal system of main market roads in Indiana. It is the idea of the men behindthe State Highway Department bill to make those roads a reality. On that commission wasj the late Addison C. Harris, jurist/ publicist and diplomat; Thomas Taggart, exSenator; Leonard B. Clore, William H. O’Brien and R. L. Sackett— On -the advisory, committee were Lewis Taylor, Newburg; Prof. E. R. Cummings, Bloomington; Albert P. Eenn, Tell City; I. Newt. Brown, Franklin; William P. Franklin, Danville; Maurice . gPouglas, Flatrock; Clarence A. Kenyon, Indianapolis; John H. Retherford, Muncie; D. F._ Mtfish, Frankfort; J. G. Short, Hillsboro; Mike Duffey, Fowler;. W’illiam Jones, Fairmount; Oliver Kline, Huntington; Senator George V. Kell Ft. Wayne and Aaron Jones,: South Bend.

President Wilson Reviewing Parade.

First, nationalization, getting all the fibres of this great vital people united in a single organism; second, mobilization, getting them so related to each other, so co-ordinating, so organized, so led, so. united, that when they move they move a single great, irresistible conquering force; and the third word that I want you to consider is the word that I. suppose affords the key to doing these things, that word is the word co-operation.” Supporters of the president’s idea say that there is little co-operation in making the 1017 townships the power of bonding for road-building. It has been said that there are 5,000 road officers in the state —no head to this body “of men—no uniformity of engineering, no standard of specifications, little that would make for intelligent, organized, efficient and economical road building. This co-opera-tion, it is pointed out would be brought^dbout/ITy “a state highway department, with the federal aid.

PRAISES FEDERAL ROAD ACT

Secretary of Agriculture Houston Succinctly Points Out the MeritS' of Legislation. ' . Secretary of Agriculture Houston thus sUcginctly ppints out the meritSL of the Federal Aid road legislation approved July 11, 1916, under which Indiana will get Federal-Aid of $2,109,000, after its own highway departmentis established ——=— “Of no less importance for agriculture .-and for the national development is the Federal Aid Road Act, approved July 11, 1916. This measure will conduce to the establishment of more- effective highway machinery in each State, strongly influence the development of good road building along right lines, stimulate larger production and better marketing, pro- . mote a fuller and more attractive rural life, add greatly to the convenience and economic welfare of all the people, and strengthen the national foundations. “This bill' meets the requisites of sound legislation and practice. It provides for cooperation between the Federal and State government, and gives the people the advantage of the best thought of the experts of -both jurisdictions. It contemplates the expenditure within five years from Federal and*Sfete sources of $160,000,000 in the country at. .large and of $lO,000,000 additional out of the Federal treasury in the national forests. It will develop the requisite machinery for safe-guarding the expenditure of every dollar already provided by the people of the nation. It is estimated that at—present the equivalent of $225,000,000 is being expended for roads and it is also stated that perhaps 50 per cent of this is uneconomically expended. It may be confidently predicted that, as a result of the act, vast improvements. will be made in the expenditure of funds for roads and that the nation will have more ample guaranty that it will get its full value irt this direction.”
