Opinions favoring return of either part or all of the license fee money collected In a county for expenditure under local control are voiced by local farmers. "Our farm bureau legislative committee, which has recommended higher license fees and a gasoline tax, might see flret that the mmey collected is properly spent," says Clayton Wright, farm bureau member. "We farmers are not at ail satisfied with money col
lected here being spent on roads in
southern Indiana.
"In Wayne county we ourselves
built nearly all the National road, and
now additional money being collected from us is being used to help Hancock
and Henry counties build the road through .their territories. '
Would Watch Closely "I am strongly in favor of keeping
license fees in the counties where they are collected and let the state authorities spend only the state road tax. We will watch more closely than any
one else, the spending of money we have paid ourselves. "Money so spent will be as well distributed over the state as at present because state highways go into every county anyway. If richer counties do have a little more than others, that is only just because they generally have heavier traffic." "I believe we should eliminate extra
administration expense as far as pos
sible," says C. M. Hill of Bethel. "Too much of our road money goes now to pay salaries of employes at the state capital when it could be applied by local officials on local roads. I would favor more local administration of road funds. "I am not in favor of all or of any state road money beiu? returned to the counties where it is collected," says Robert Haas, member of the farmers'
co-operative dairy. "A state system of roads can best be maintained by a central agency and a local government with each county promoting unrelated road systems, would only result in confusion. "Furthermore,, if road money were returned to counties where it is collected, this would result in the roads of poor counties suffering at the expense of richer communities. To have a good state-wide system, we must have state-wide support just as is tlie case in the school system. We are not in favor of confining all school expenditures to money collected within
.the communities where the schools are
located, even though there is occasional agitation for it. "In Pennsylvania, a state system iat maintained and its roads are second to none. I know of Canadian roads that have been in operation for six and eicht years and are in better condi
tion than our own National road west; of Richmond. I recall another road! where the original macadam paving
has been in use for 18 years. j Sees Funds Wasted. "I do believe more care could be used in spending of road funds. Too many cities are taking advantage of the three mile road law to get their streets paved laying extravagant or inadequate pavings because state funds pay for them. I do not think we are getting back on the roads a proper proportion of the funds collected for that purpose. "I would not favor return of all the auto license fees to the communities where they are collected. . The state roads are used most by the auto owners, and should have the great proportion of the fees for maintenance. I would approve a. division of the fees so that 50 per cent would go to the state, 30 per cent to the county and
20 per cent to the township.
