Scott Ferris, of Oklahoma and h published by request of Paul K. Crosby, president of the County good roads as.-ociation. I introduced in the Sixtieth Con gress a bill providing for the im provement of the post roads of the country, the State and the Nation t > share the expense equally. 1 re introduced in this session of Con gress, and I very much crave the at- tion of the Cdhgress, and the coun try as well, to consider the advisa bility of such legislation. The question is not a new one, but a very old one instead. During the years from 1806 to 18.38 this govern- | ment appropriated from the Federal | Trea.-ury $7,000,000 for the improve ment of highw-ays, and since that l hey have appropriated nothing. That the improvement of post roads, over v hich the government carries its mail by governmental em ployes, is constitutional I think none will gainsay or deny. For the benefit of those opponents of this legislation who may for ul terior reasons make the charge of unconstitutionality, 1 want to refer to a resolution passed by the American Congress on the 14th day of March, 1818. The following is the exact language of the act: “Resolved, That Congress has power under the Constitution to ap propriate money for the construction of postroads millitary and other roads, and of canals, and for the improvement of waterways.” It ia no less interesting that the great Democratic party, in conven- tion assembled in the good year 1906, embodied in their national platform the following language, which I quote with pride and no little esteem: “Postroads. We favor Federal aid to State and local authorities in the construction and maintenance of postroads.” It is with a keen sense of pride that we read from the document of Ml documents, the American Consti tution. when we find the breadth and depth of character of our fore fathers in the foraatioii of that document How faraighted they were, and how dearly thep foretow what must ineyitably come. Article I* provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States.” Now, 1 think it is safe to assume that no fair-minded or thoughtful man will contend that the clause “general welfare” is not abundantly sufficient to cover the improvement of postroads used by the govern- longer make this charge we^can but stand and be amazed at them stand ing alone, threadbare of reason and sound logic. There is a charge made against the improvement by federal aid of the postroads of this country that has at first blush more merit than the rest. It is the charge “that it is men t for the transporting of the to° gigantic in its proportions too to Pto the debts and mail, and traveled over by their im- ployeg, the rural carriers. But we are not without authori ties on the subject of more recent years, and it is interesting to know that this question has not gone with out the attention and deep consider ation of the best law writers of this age, and so conceded by both lawyer and layman. Cooley, on constitutional law, and his worth as a law writer is not a matter of question for either friend or foe. says: . “Every road within a State, in cluding railroads, canals, turnpikes, and navigable streams existing or created within a State, becomes a postroad whenever, by the action of the Postoffice Department, provision is made for the transportation of the mails upon or over it.” Other opponents of the measure in years gone by have sought to cre ate a prejudice in our minds against legislation looking to the improve ment of the postroads on the ground of paternalism. The charge has never appealed to me as a serious one. but on the contrary a frivolous one. For, as we have observed both in practice and in law, the improve ment of the post roads was a proper ope tod always ip the interest of the State and never to their disadvant age. Further have we seen the Federal Government using the high ways for the transportation of the mails by government employees and, at the same breadth, the enjoyment of the same thoroughfare by indi viduals in their private capacities. We have the same observation to point to the fact that the roads are used by rich and poor, weak and strong, soldiets and civilian, Gov ernment and individual, yea, even aavage and civilised.' Surely the improvement of a medium of such general and unhreraal utilization h not today, was not yesterday, and never will be paternalism. For if this be paternalism let all Htogethar. If this be the word no leager pomamas a stiff* ma or a stiiiff . For thoas who would much for this Government to under take. My reply to this charge is but to compare the aid the Government has rendered the three great meth ods of transportation, viz: First the railroads; second, the water-ways, and, third, the common dirt roads or post-roads of the country. I can not resist before entering on a dis cussion of the three great methods of transportation of the Nation’s wealth asserting that the question of transportation is not outdone in greatness with evenT»roduction itself.
