House pf -Reprcsontatlvcs, Wasbington,- Sept, ll , 1914. . Areli’d H. Huston, Secretary, The Ohio Good Beads Federation, 615 Hartman Building,. Columbus, o,; “Dear Mr. Huston—I am in ra* ccipt of your letter, in which ■you make inquiry as to my position on the subject of good roads, with .spe­ cial reference to state supervision and - the continuance or discontinu­ ance or change in the method of' ad­ ministration of the state highway de­ partment. “My recollection of the- matter is that tho Republican party was the originator of the Good Roads move­ ment in Ohio'; it established the state highway department; it favored and now favors the construction and maintenance of a state-wide system of goad roads, and necessarily .suck a state-wide system must be under gen­ eral state supervision.' With this well known attitude of the party on the question of good roads I am in, hearty accord,’ Republicans and mem­ bers of all parties are properly criti­ cising the. state highway department and “many other departments of the state government, as at present ad­ ministered, for their lavish expendi­ ture Of the taxpayers’ money, for their supercilious arrogance toward local* authorities, for their autocratic exercise of power for Ao purpose of building np an c*iormous political ma­ chine. This warranted criticism,does not at all Imply that the departments criticised are to bo abolished, but that under Republican management their method of administration is to be so changed and the laws so nmond- ed^as to retain the benefits ot state supervision without the unwarranted exercise of one-man power in the-di­ rection of machine building. It is an unwise system which puts into the bonds of one man the uower to ex­ pend millions of dollars per year and to employ thousands of men through­ out the state under the control di­ rectly or- indirectly of the state ad­ ministration at Golumhus. In such n system resides too great possibility of"political iniluencc and party boss- lsm. The state highway aeimrtment is not to be abolished, but it Is to be shorn of its machine-building power. What the people want and will re­ ceive, if tho Republican party is charged with responsibility, is better roads and less bosslsm; the taxpay­ ers’ money should be spent for Im­ proved highways and Mot for an ever- increasing number ot fat-salaried of­ fices. Under efficient non-political su­ pervision by the state the sarvices of officials already elected and paid by the people of the several counties of the state should be utilized to the full­ est measure possible to the end that there may be no duplication of effort and that the taxpayers* money may bo saved through reduction Of the num­ ber of offices, “The state highway department In tho exercise of its supervisory power should be less arrogant in its treat­ ment of local officials, and should give consideration to local wishes and re­ quirements. The opposition among tho people is not to the highway depart­ ment as such, but rather to the pres­ ent administration of affairs, which permits and encourages the construc­ tion of a vast political engine through tho enormous concentration of power in the hamis of one man, “The expenditure, of millions of dol­ lars in the purchase of road-makhr; materials and in tho employment of thousands of men is too great a power to be lodged without legislative re­ striction and control in the hands of any one man. Such a system inevit­ ably tends to extravagance, delay, po­ litical favoritism and inefficiency. The people will lose interest in the good roads movement if they dee their money squandered in paying princely salaries to a multitude of officials in­ stead of being economically expended in the improvement of highways; let there bo le:!3 money paid to officers, more expended on tno roads, less ma­ chine building, more road building-- less harness and more horse. Follow­ ing this cotmtructfve program of econ­ omy and common senSo we ohall en­ joy a state-wide system of good roads Under reasonable supervision Of a non , political highway department.
