Government Aid for Good Roads Debate in Congress
In a House speech Representative Scott Ferris of Oklahoma argues for federal aid to build post roads, claiming constitutional backing and that road funding would lower living costs by easing farmer markets. He compares road funding to rail and waterway subsidies, noting vast government land grants to railroads and extensive waterways expenditures, and says universal road improvements benefit all more broadly than selective public buildings.

250 Prisoners to Be Paroled in New Federal Plan
A federal parole law passed both houses and awaits conference approval before the president signs. It will make about 260 prisoners in three major U.S. penitentiaries eligible for parole under one third of their sentences, with bans on murder, rape, and other offenses. The act creates a parole board, outlines terms, and will shift inmates from state to federal facilities to align with broader reform aims.
