tions given privileges by the state; /;
had passed and amended the inter-
state commerce act and employers
liability law and law for a min
ing bureau an provided for working
mems compensation and mediation
between railroads and their en-
pIoyes. 1t is willing, he added, to

STATE NEEDS GOOD ROADS

Chicago, Feb. 12.-Speakers at
the Illinois and Interstate Good
Roads Convention. here today, urged
immediate, construction of the pro-
posed Lincoln Memorial Highway,
connecting Lincoln's old home at
Springfield with Chicago and St.
Louis, Mo.
"The beautiful Illinois valley"
said Jems Jensen, through which
this proposed memorial road would
be built, presents the prettiest land
feature in the whole state. The
newly created Starved Rock State
Park, and Deer Park between Ottawa
and LaSalle and Peoria Lake would
be attractive points along the
route"
Trying to Get Road.
Congress recently appropriated
100000 for the establishment of
Lincoln memorial and members of
the State GOOD Roads Convention
have been active in endeavoring to
have the fund expended for the es-
tablishmcnt of highway.
There is great danger of losing
the highway if too determined on
slaught is made upon the plan of the
congressional committee, which will
decide upon the nature of the
memorial" said Arthur G. Jackson,
president of the state association.
Illinois Needs Highways.
mo state in the union is In great
er need of good roads than Illinois, :"
said President Jackson, "but it is
difficult to arouse the interest of the
people in this important movement
he farmers oppose the establishment
of new roads because they fear taxa
tion. If the Legislature appropriat-
ed $10,000,000 for roads, the people
of Chicago would contribute about
one-half of the amount, while not
an inch of road would be built in
