TRACTION ENGINES
AND STATE ROADS

From the Elkton Whig.
The advertisement of the State
Road Commission Gn another col
umn forbidding traction engines
with cleats or iron bars on the
wheels. or wagons with rough-locks
thereon. to use the State roads is
likely to work a great hardship on
threshing men and those VINO have
pse for threshing engines. The ques-
lion in some r'-oos is how these en-
gines are going to get to their work
and with some farmers. located on
such reads, it will be a question as
to how they are going to get their
work done.
It is obviously impossible for a
farming community to contemplate
the possibility of discontinuing the
employment of thTeshing engines, and
on the other hand how are the en-
gines going to get to the farmers
located on the stone roads, without
going over those roads?

Two important resolutions, one
favoring a minimum wage for
women, and the other providing
for non-partisan elections in mu-
nicipal affairs, were adopted by
the city council at its regular
meeting last night.
The minimum wage resolution
was the direct outcome of investi-
cations made by Aid. ST Mayer,
member of the council commit
tee on vice.
Mayer declared. that he discov-
cred low wages paid girls and wo-
men was one of the chief causes
that drove working girls to lives
of immortality. Specific instances
were given by the aldermen that
had been called to his attention.
He declared the minimum wage
law was the most potent weapon
with which to fight white slavers.
In the resolution it is suggest
ed that the minimum wage be
fixed at S12 per week. The legis-
lature is asked to pass the law
after full investigation of wages
paid to women.
Thefght for non-partisan cleo
lions was given a boost when
Aid. Kearns' resolution, ordering
the judiciary committee to pre-
sent a bill to the legislature for
the abolition of the party circle"
in municipal elections, was pass
ed by a vote of AZ to II.
The proposed bill will also pro-
vide for the automatic election of !
the primary candidate who gets
2 majority of the votes cast.

After crossing over TO Cristobal, the

landed on shallow reef, a hole being
torn in the pontoon. The machine
