(By Special Leased "Wire")
House pnbtss roads committee Uia
morning.
The bill carries an aprropriatloa ef
100,000,000 for Federal aid for Ua
various states la 1922. Apportionment
Is made on three basis, population of
the various states, their srea and their
mileage of poat roads. Under the 1920
census, North Carolina's share of the
$10000,000 would be 12,350,000, but If
Ue 1920 census Ilgures ars .used, the
quota will bs several thousand dollars
greater, by reason of Us large popula
tion gala North Carolina showed ia
two.
1 Bepresentatlve Donghton. of Us
Eighth North Carolina district, a
minority member of Ua-roads commit
tee, has ass u ranees from the majority
leaders that the bill will be expedited.
The preeeat plaa is to call it up oa
Us first calendar suspension day,
which will be. Febmary-7, and rnih it
through. Should Uere be a jam ia
f Ue sessiou. oa there is certain to
be, Uea it is Us plaa of Uose who
are urging Uis extension of Federal
aid to tack Ue bill oa to ens of Ihs
annual departmeatal appropriation bills
aad aot it through. It wu in this man'
ner Uat the original Appropriation for
Federal aid for roads wae made, aa ap
propriation of 4200,000(000 to be ex
pended during a period of three years
being attached to ths annual poetofflee
bill three or four years ago. Uadsr
this appropriation, of which one-third
waa sxpendsd annually, North Caro
lina was appropriated ' altogether
slightly more Una $9,000 flOO, so thst
aa increase ia the road work is eoa
templated la Ue present bill. Ia ad
dltioa, Wsitsra North Carolina wiU
get soma of Us ' benefits from aa
appropriation . of 300,000 for forest
road and trail construction. Borne or
this money will bo expended in Ue aa-
ftroaat- ferottrta Ua y&nOf of Ashs-
viUe.
PoUtlca Tabas a Haad.
Of course, pelitfua bad to enter the
ea us tioa, and because of polities ths
appropriation is mads for only oae
rear. Originally, aa appropriation was
made for a period of three years. This
enabled ths goad roads bureau of the
agriculture department and the
bureaus of Ue various states to look
ahead. Instead of making ipeei flections
for oaly Ue work to be dons ia obs
year, it was possible to make plana
Pa a three year schedule, - because it
was kaowa bow much money would
be availablr each year for tt ree years.
Democrats on tho eommittss sought to
make Uis appropriatioa for two years,
that is 4100,000,000 for 1822 end a aim
liar sum for 1923. This would enable
engineers to look ahead " and - build
roads ia 1922 wiU a view to their ex
tension In 1923. But Ue Bepublicaa
majority defeated the plaa. solely ;for
ths season Uat- Woodrew- WillOU " H

bureau. Therefore, Ue Democrstio ad
