With the funds available from the gen eral income of the State and a gradual use of substantial sums from the bond issue which has been authorized by the people for this purpose, supplemented by the assistance, now very material and likely to be greater, of the Federal Government for the post roads, we shall be able to undertake extensive road-building operations in every county. In the coming few years wc ought to accomplish much toward providing a network of good highways, reaching every important point, with through routes, travelable at all times, from end to end of the State, and connecting with the main highways in our neighboring Commonwealths. Of course, the whole amount of the fifty-million-dollar loan, if it should all be used, would not improve the entire State high way system, nor can all of the work planned be done at once, but it will be a wonderful advantage to the people of Penn sylvania to have good main roads and every mile of highway permanently improved will carry its lesson of comfort and facility and local pride with the spirit of progress into our communities. The question of the selection of the roads to be fust improved will be an important one, and the problems of the character and plan of the new construction will re quire much study. My own thought in that the general pol icy should be the bringing of the greatest good to the great est number of our people, and our actions will be based upon our judgment with this desire constantly in mind. Sotn: changes in the organization and methods of the highway department will be necessary to enable it to handle a greatly increased amount of work, and legislation will be required to give your executive and fiscal authorities the legal machinery for issuing and marketing the securities represent ing the loans which will be required. These arc matters of detail which will be dealt with in subsequent recommenda tions to the General Assembly. We should also give atten tion to seme plans for improving the local road conditions throughout the State. This is one of the most perplexing situations which we have to deal with. The State highway department has done much to help the organization and ad ministration of our townships, but much more remains to be done. In considering matters relating to our highways, it is necessary to give some attention to the regulation of auto mobile traffic. The conditions growing out of the war made the greatly extended use of motortruck transportation a ne cessity, and with the development of the country this great agent in handling passengers and materials must be reck oned with more and more. Wc must extend every facility for the business vehicle, but wc must also enforce our rea sonable regulations regarding its use. It was never intended that vehicles as large and as heavy as railway cars should travel the public roads at high speed, and the law provides limits as to the weight and the size of such trucks. No road which can be built, except it be constructed of steel, can stand the stress and impact of such trucks moving at from ten to thirty miles an hour and weighing with their loads from fifteen to thirty tons. The State cannot furnish espe cial highways for this kind of traffic and it is unreasonable and unfair to the other users of the roads, and to the public who piy for them, to permit the laws to be violated, our roads to be destroyed and our people's lives endangered by such selfish operations. Teeth must be put into the laws governing these conditions, and now that the war is oer, and the only excuse for tolerating these abuses has prssed, we must put a stop to them. Plans arc under consideration for a revision and exten sion of the automobile license laws. Increases in license fee3 arc warranted, and especially so in the case of high-powered cars and trucks of heavy burden. It costs more to build and maintain roads than it did, and the income for this purpose from those who use the roads should be increased. There should also be a distinctive license classification and a higher tax upon motorcars used for business purposes and upon regular passenger and freight routes. The State receives a very large portion of its present revenue from the tax which is laid upon the securities and the gross incomes of corpora tions engaged in the business of transportation, it should receive a very considerable share of the income of others en gaged in similar enterprises in competition with these tax paying corporations and using the highways maintained at public expense. In view of the difficulties experienced by our munici palities in the upkeep of their streets it would seem that there should be returned to these municipalities for highway maintenance a portion of any increase in license fees imon motorcars received by the State. This would be onlv fair in consideration of the fact that our cities receive no share of the State highway funds. Because of the importance of this message we have re printed this part of Governor Sprout's address for the ben efit of those who failed to read all of the newspaper report.
