But the development o the last hundred years have amp ly proven that the fears express ed in 1837 were unfounded. Then is every reason for hope that thi fears today are equally as un founded. I True, problems of today an perhaps greater than ever before No community nor state is self .sufficient. The price which tin \ iryinia and North Carolim farmer will get for his products is affected by industrial employ iiient in Ohio and Pennsylvania The ability of the manufacturers oi automobiles und refrigerators in Indiana and Michigan to sel their products affected by condi tions in Georgia and Tennessee Emergencies i n California. lowa and Florida may curtail the sup ply of food in New York. In other words, whether we wish to admit it or not, we have come to the point where the Federal Gov ernment must help to find the solution to problems the states cannot solve alone. How? Find ing the answer is what causes legislative uncertainty and slow movement of legdjaitive machin. ery. Too much importance de pends on taking the right course. Nevertheless, there is growing realization that something must be done about regulating th forces that have widened the gai between wealth and numbers There is also realization thai some of the programs and policies already tried must be reshape* in the light of the experience developed. The subject of hijghwsys, one of importance to every citizen offers a splendid example o changing concepts of Governmen responsibility over a long periot of years. At the outset, roadi were built by townships and com munities- Later, financial aic ; was given to counties by states— Now Jersey being the first ir 1891 By 1903. eleven states were giving aid to counties anci ten years later, forty-two states were aiding counties. But even then highways were being built around centers of population and not so much to connect those centers at any con siderable distance from each oth er. The need for interstate roads was beginning to be felt Because of this need there arose a strong public demand that the United States Government should con tribute financially toward road building, as it had done a hund red years before. This demand took definite form in 1916, in the passage of the first Federal-aid bill, and later came the Federal-aid act of 1921 which gave us the baah tor omr present interstate system of roads. Anj the situation as ap plied to roads has new developed in many other fields There is a louj clamor for Ftederal assist ance in these other fields—as sistance in handling problems states cannot control alone —By Senator R.
