Y Wisconsin has fallen into line with Min.
/ nesota III the good roads movement BY
passing resolution calling for popular
vote to; allow for the establishment of
4 estate aid"l for road building. The con-
stltutions Of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan contain q clause forbidding the
state from taking any part in works Of
internal improvement or contracting debt
therefor. 1t was to overcome this that the
resolution was passed, and the popular vote
IS expected to be overwhelmingly In favor
Of Estate aid' in Wisconsin, as it was in
Minnesota. The resolution was passed
through the efforts Of Chief Consul Van
Valkenburg Of the League IofI American
Wheelmen and Otto Dorner, chairman of
the highway Improvement committee OF

law, through the efforts OF the League of
American ,Wheelmen, authorizing the
country districts to purchase road ma
ohinery, without the necessity of paying
their road taxes in cash, by making lit pos
