teensh Amendment.
In the House OF Representatives IN
Columbia on Thursday a concurrent
resolution asking congress to repeal
the fifteenth amendment to the Unit
ed States constitution was introduced
BY Mr.. Williams Of Pickens for the
committee on federal relations. The
house on an aye and nay vote Of 70
to 4s passed the resolution which fol-
lows:
Whereas. The present civilization
Of the vhtts race has been achieved
without tho assistance OF the negro
race.
"Ths negro race has made no ad-
vancement only as he comes in con-
tact with the other human races. His
presence in the United States Is be-
cause Of his not having government
Ct his own in Africa, sufficiently
strong to protect its subjects, the rea-
son for which is weakness. The peo-
ple of these United States have ad-
vanced the negro further than any
other nation. having taught him the
most extensive language Of the globe,
the use Of tools, the wearing Of cloth
ing, and above all the christian reli-
gion. In return for all these advant-
ages he has given the people OF these
United States only anxiety, strife,
tloodshed and the hookworm. So
long as he has the ballot he will be a
menace to the civilization Of Aneri-
ca. The ballot was given to him
without his fitness or his asking for
It, and given at a time when these
United States were riren asunder by
strife. prejudice. malice, hatred. an
ger and revenge.
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
house Of representatives OF the State
OF South Carolina, the senate concur

First. That the congress OF the
Cai,ed States bes aud are hereby ask

repeal of the fifteenth amendment to

GOVERNOR ODDIE DEFENDS HIS
ACTIONS IN VETOING MEASURES
RELATIVE TO BUILDING ROADS

seemed to me to be worthy of
thoughtful consideration by the peo-
pie of the state.
Il expressed the conviction that,
as a general rule, the taxpayers of
one county should not be taxed for
road building in another county, from
which they, presumably, derive no
direct benefits. If the people of any
county, from lack of enterprising
public spirit, or because of closeness,
are unwilling to tax themselves for
good roads, it is hardly fair to the
more progressive people Of other
counties that they should be taxed
to build them for them. The ar.
gument which has been advanced
that unless the state build the roads,
there will never be good roads ia
some counties in Nevada, because the
people of such counties will not tax
themselves therefor. trust is not
true in fact"
The statement concludes with the
following:
In concluding this communication
| trust that it will serve the pur-
, pose intended, of awakening renewed
and decisive interest in the good
roads problem in Nevada. The op-
portunity is before the counties to
meet the situation, and, believing as
do in the progressive enterprise
of the people of this state, when
actively aroused, | hope and urge
that every county come squarely 10
the front at the earliest practicable
day on the proposition of its pro-
portional share of good roads build
ing in Nevada. The burden. will rot
afflict the tax payer but will return
benefits, direct and indirect, and in
many ways far greater than what 4 "
property owner will have to pay
IF the honorable boards of count ,
commissioners, the press and our
enterprising citizens will take the
matter actively in hand, there is NJ
reason why Nevada, by 1915, cannot
be state which can be advertised
the country over for the excellence
of its highway system"

Governor Oddie in response to
wholesale criticism directed at him
from all sides for vetoing several
bills relative to state bond issue
for the construction Of good roads
in Nevada, has issued statement
defending his action The follow
ing excerpts are taken from the state
ment:
Il vetoed three bills passed by
the recent session of the legislature
carrying appropriations aggregating
100000 for highway construction in
certain counties.
THE total length of road on which
this sum was proposed to be expend-
ed exceeded 100 miles, thus aver
aging about $55 per mile. Its utter
ineufficiency to accomplish results
worth while, when distributed over
such mileage, will hardly be ques-
toned by any one familiar with the
cost of good roads. The allotment to
any county would scarcely have been
appreciable in beneficial effects upon
its highway problem
"The state tax rate for 1913 and
1914, after deducting the special tax
es set aside by law for the 1915 ex
positions and for the Home for Juv
emile Delinquents, is reduced two
cents this year and six cents next
year in respect to the portion avail
able for the general support of the
state government and its institutions
including all special appropriations
This is equivalent to a reduction Of
over $4,000 this year and over $50,
900 next year in the ordinary reve
nues of the state; and occurring ol
a showing that the income Of the
state the past four years has beer
less than the disbursements, lef
little opportunity for discretion oil
the question of the approval of thes,
bills.
Aside from the foregoing fisca
reasons, in the statement of my OF
lection accompanying these vetoes
/ discussed certain phases of th
question of state versus county hand
ling of highway construction, whic

ing dismissed according to state
ments made by counsel this morn
