AUTOS AND THE GOOD ROAD cru
SADIE.

prominent citizen of Vermont
who has taken n large degree Of IN.
terest in the subject OF good roads
plated the other day that It wan cost =
eng Burlington a large sum to allow
Che highway between Vergennes and
New Haven to continue in It's present
deplorable condition. He stated that
parties touring the state by motor
highway by cutting out Chittendeu
and Addison counties altogether and
going across the State from Rutland
That this gentleman was correct in
his statement Is demonstrated by a
glance at the maps of different auto
routes issued for the guidance Of mo-
Tor parties passing through Vermont.
we have consulted three standard
maps OF this kind md the pathfinder
I'm each instance has left no trail
from Middlebury to Burlington or
teven from Rutland to Middlebury.
tWhen one takes into consideration
(
The amount of money that is left at
ldifferent points by auto parties, It
STequires no argument to show tina,
Huntington and Middlebury as we'll as
lNergennes and intermediate points
will suffer considerable loss, II the
road IN question IS allowed 10 con-
, ", hoA
J These considerations serve TO en-
( plastic the need in Vermont at the
present time Of the construction OF a
series of trunk lines running north
And south on each side OF the Green
Mountains, with others crossing the
State and forming gridiron OF main
Highways. The new conditions that
sSave arisen have served to make II
plain that some financial plan to pro-
side for This great highway improve
J aent must be devised AT once, II Yer
tnont Is not to fall utterly behind in
Its efforts to secure summer business.

constitute a step In tho right direc-
.Aion, but the step is SO short as to
derive merely as a guide board TO tho
direction TO be taken by the people OF
Vermont. In this connection we note
the statement by the ST. Adams Mes
senger that state Highway Commits
sioner Gates Is looking after tho work
Of leveling "Nigger Hill" on tho road
20 st.. Adams Bay. It Is to be hoped
that both Commissioner Gates ana the
SOCIAL authorities In Addison county
may promptly take steps to remedy
Dhe situation on the main line OF road
summing north ana south in order that
Rho lido OF auto travel may not be
permanertly DETECTED from the Green
Mountain State, These and other i'm
provements will go long way to
encourage touring parties In motor
ears 70 include mo Green Mountains
in their circuit.
In the meantime wa arc reminded
BY situations like those depicted how
important n factor In the States pros
: berity and progress are good roads.

AUTUMN rxcunsto>s no VERMONT

Tho season Of autumnal tints in
Vermont is pronounced by many good
| authorities the finest OF the whole
year in the Green Mountains. In ad-
green which served to give name
to our mountains as well as our state,
tho brilliant hucs with which our hill
sides and valleys are clothed during
the latter part of September and early
October. make II panorama, which It
would be difficult to match elsewhere.
Climb any hill in Vermont on a clear
morning when the autunnal tints are
at their best nnd YOU will behold a
rarc combination OF colors. crimson
and gold, russell and brown, and those
other delicate hucs which can not be
described but which appeal to every
lover Of the beautiful.

TWO BILLS FAVOR
NEWSPAPER MEN
Oklahoma Press Association Takes
a Hand in Legislation at Guthrie
Two Bills Passed

Guthrie. Okla, Feb S--Two bills drawn
by the Oklahoma Press Association we're
introduced Ia the house and senate Tues
day They are Of special interest TO the
newspaper men Of the state.
The first requires all county commission
ers and purchasing boards Of cities and
towns, to buy printed matter and supplies
within the state An printing is to be
let after sealed bids have been filed. The
contract shall be let to the lowest and
best bidder
This bill is TO prevent county comniis-
sioners and others from refusing TO receive
bids for printing and publishing and from
buying supplies from without the state
Another bin requires the publication Of
measures and questions submitted 20 a
vote Of the people, This win cure the de-
feet in the law Of last winter which pro-
vided for the printing and circulation Of
pamphlets containing the questions to be
submitted to a vote and the arguments
therefor. Il has been proven conclusively
that the limited circulation of those pham-
phlets ouFtailed the general knowledge Of
the public on matters to be voted upon.
Had the arguments been published in two
newspapers Of each county one Of each
political faith as provided for in the new
bin, this defect would have been avoided.
Another measure Of such concern to the
country publishers has been added by Re.
preventative Japp TO the emergency ap-
preparation bill Il provides for the pay
ment Of old constitutional convention ex-
penSe accounts held by publishers who
printed ballots and published boundary
descriptions prior TO the election to ratify
the constitution Last winter the legsla-
ture refused TO allow these accounts.
The temper Of the present legislature
seems TO be friends 70 the newspaper fra
ternity and much needed legislation Is

JANUARY RECEIPTS

Guthrie Okla, Feb 3--For the month
o, January the receipts Of the secretary Of
state Office exceeded all past records in
the history Of either the territory or state
of Oklahoma, The cash receipts for the
month were more than FIVE thousand
dollars, Al this rate Of increase it is
believed that the new year will show re-
ceipts aggregating seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
The business Of the office has increased
so rapidly that the present force has been
found entire inadequate. Secretary Of

BOARD or PUBLIC AFFAIRS
WOULD SAVE STATE MONEY

Guthrie, Okla, Feb, 4-The creation Of
a special board to be known as the Board
Of Public Affairs, is the object of senate
bin No. 223 by Senators Eehols, Mem
minger and Stafford, II provides for the
selection of three commissioners at a
salary of $4,000 each per annum whose
duty shall be TO handle all business mat
ters wherein the state expends money.
such as contracting for and building state
institutions, the handling Of public print
ing, and the dozen Of osher highly import
ant duties that are now thrown upon
boards composed OF various state officials,
The chief argument in favor Of this bin is
that none Of the state officials have time
to perfect themselves in the various lines
Of knowledge that the duties Of the boards
necessitate
1t is figured that the saving Of such a
board in one veal would defray the en-
tire expense of It's operations for four
years Now that Oklahoma is about to
build several state institutions and ex-
pend large sums for these already in OPP
Grafton, the necessity for Thorough knowl-
edge Of the various projects and subjects
is recognized by the state officials who
have but few hours each week to give the
matters thought The measure las the

virtue Of their Office

The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-01-09

In one of the best debates ever
acid in Wenatchee the team from the
Spokane high school contested the
team from the Wenatchee high
school at the Wenatchee theatre last
aight, on the subject of the closed
shop The event has been looked
interest by all the members of both
schools.
Spokane was represented by Fac
Dyke and Arnold Eggerth. The
home school was represented by Paul
Garrett and Earl MARI. The subject
AS stated was: Resolved. That the
labor unions are justified in insisting
through all lawful means at their
disposal, on the closed shop"
Miss Fac Dyke opened the question
by a short discussion of the import
ance of the subject in hand. She
maintained that organization was de-
fensive on the part of laboring men.
She held that they were justified.
First, that the open shop destroyed
the efficiency and often the form of
trade unions. Second, that because
the open shop prevents labor unions
from continuing to advance and i'm
roge conditions of all laboring men
Is they can under the closed shop.
The unions maintain better wages,
have abolished the sweatshop and
child labor Her Interpretation of
the words Justify and insisting
was clear and complete and was not
objected to by the negative.
Paul Garrett, in an impressive
manner, set forth the following facts.
That the closed shop is detrimental
to society as we'll as to the non-union
man. He showed that the union man
represents but six ner cent os the
