Washington February 7 Special. When the House votes on Monday on the 25 million good roads measure it is expected to pass by a wide margin. Only Finis J.

Proponents argue highway improvements are a national duty and cite arguments about states rights and economic benefits. Representative Howard defends the bill noting federal aid for highways would aid upbuilding and commerce, with Edwards and Aswell praising the program and President Wilson.
