' ' It spry v spis Will) on the Floor Today Explains and Strongly Advocates the Bill He Has Introduced fop the Tax ing of Automobiles His Measure Carries With It a Big Appropriation for Good Roads Along Rural Mail Routes.' - . ' .. 's -, Washington, June 23. Estimating that .one out of five of the five hun dred thousand-automobiles in use, in this country 'is employed in interstate travel Senator -Simmons of North Carolina today expressed the opinion in a speech in- the Senate., that a mil lion 'dollars annually can be raised for the-improvement of wagon roads by imposing a license fee of $10 each on such machines. He also prophesied ihat the improvement of the roads would have the effect of greatly in creasing automobile travel and there fore of enhancing the fund. The proposition for an interstate tax on autos is embraced in a bill of which the North Carolina Senator Is the au thor and which purposes the appro priation of $1,000,000 . ; annually , for the benefit of the roads on which the rural mails are carried. , Mr. Simmons contended for the equity of the gen eral scheme because of the use of the roads by the government and also be cause of the benefit that would ac crue, to the farmers of the country The argument was advanced that the national government was . under as great obligation to aid the farm ers as td aid other classes, and man ufacturers,' the western railroads and the rivers and ; harbors were mention ed as instances of the : benefit of gov ernment aid. - j - -, "We have," the Senator said : . "The finest railways in the world and the poorest WsBtoxs. t- Thei GpvernmeTit has helped to. build these railroads and develop this , splendid . system of long distance transportation." Why should it not help to build the. equally important system of short-distance transportation the country highways over which the products of the farm must be hauled before it reaches these national highways?" . 1 Mr. Simmons said that 'of the 2,150,- 000 mile of dirt road the country was using one million in carrying the mails, and contended that it was un der obligation to the farmers to aid in maintaining them. The saving made by a general improvement of the highways was placed at $10,000, 000 to $15,000,000' annually. He esti mated that the proper improvement of the wagon roads would save the farm ers $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 in the cost of transporting their crops. Concluding Mr. Simmons said: "Shall the Government having so aus piciously started upon the work of re claiming the great and honorable call ing of agriculture from the drudgery to which conditions had condemned it, now haR and hesitate to do the one thing needful to restore it to Its rignt- ful position of primacy , among the great industries of the Nation? I hope nor I think not. and I had almost said I knew it will not." ARIZONA WANTS ITS 5 Washington, June 23. Delegate Cameroni of.
