A Commission Is Needed for Building a
National System of Highways
By DR. H. M. ROWE, Past President A. A. A.
i—a————— _/
---— -... ' J
That a commission as contemplated by the Townsend-Bankhead bill
will be the method of administration adopted by congress for building a
national highway system is indicated not only by public sentiment but
by the weight of government precedent.
Highways should be considered in the same class of public activity
as railways, waterways, merchant marine, the national banking system,
and, in fact, any of the great distinctly national undertakings. It seems
a self-evident proposition that the building of a national system of high
ways will form an enterprise of such magnitude and such complexity as
to put it entirely beyond the sphere of a single bureau or other subdi
vision of an executive department. *
Highways are of such an all-embracing and general importance as
to make it impracticable to intrust the task as a minor undertaking to
any single government department. A commission would consider the
needs of all of the departments.
From the standpoint of directness, of responsibility, timeliness of
action and comprehensiveness of knowledge a commission devoting its
whole time to the one single task could not fail to accomplish far greater
results than would be possible through the medium of a cabinet officer
who would be devoting the greater part, of his time and attention to mat
ters wholly foreign to highways. It would seem that the commission plan
is unassailable.
