As the good roads law stands, the government cannot put up more than 50 per cent of the cost of nhy road, the state to contribute the balance. This plan has been found to work epuitably in the older states, where the lands are pracitcallv all in private ownership and subject to taxation, but in the public land states, where government lands are not taxed, this plan hns been burdensome and the benefits securing to the state have not been relatively as great as The Phipps bill does in the east. not increase tho total allotment to any state, but it increases the federal government's share in the cost of road building by reducing the amount of cooperation required of the state in proportion n the amount of privately owned land in that state. Under this bill if 75 per cent of the area on any state is public land, the federal government will defray 75 per cent of the cost of building roads under tbe federal road act and the state will contribute onlv 25 per cent.
