Editorial
WHY =?

Why have Commissioners Woody, Lyon, and McIntre
levied upon road of $685. 800 when they would have
believe that they spent only $5977875 last year, and
need only $50, 10000 this year?
The people want to know why they being over
taxed $30000 and why the commissioners give out state
that have every appearance of deliberate attempts
deceive them.
What became of the Motor Vehicle license last year?
It does appear in their summary of road funds last
year. Who got the money?
Why there receipts from balance" half pay
ment of taxes, and "sundry sources shown in the
mary of 1915 road funds? What became of such receipts
they did not go into the road funds?
Why the bridge funds taken into account if not
deceive the readers? Using them in the summaries makes
The comparison favorable the commissioners, far
as they 60.
If it necessary increase the bridge funds four
thousand dollars it reasonable suppose that the road
unds could be diminished five thousand dollars in the
year?
Why tell that the road funds for 1916 to be $751;
300 when they to be $4,000 more than that?
What became of $4,000 last year, and what is be-
;on1e of $50, 900 this year?

CRUISER TO COST
TWENTY MILLIONS
FOUR NEW BATTLE CRUISERS FOR
AMERICAN NAVY WILL BE MOST
POWERFUL AFLOAT
VIII be Eight Hundred and Fifty Feet
Long, and VIII Make Over
Thirty Knots an Hour

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Each of
the four new battlecruisers, bids for
which will be opened at the navy
department, December 6, will be $50
feet in length, or 100 feet longer than
the worlds tallest building-the Wool
worth-is high, it was learned today.
The cruisers will displace $4,000
tons each, and will be capable of a
speed of from 80 to 35 knots an hour.
Each cruiser will cost not more
than $16,500,000, under the terms of
the new naval appropriation. Armor
and armament will add another $4,-
100000 apiece.
They will be equipped with and IA
inch guns.
Every effort is being made to hasten
the construction of these vessels. Bids
already are in for portion of the
armament.
The new battleships bids for four
of which will be opened tomorrow
will each displace $4,000 tons, and will
be GA feet long. They will mount 16-
inch guns.
The new cruisers, therefor, will be
more than 200 feet longer than the
newest battleships of the American
navy. Their extreme length, it is said,
is necessary to provide room for the
very powerful machinery, necessary
to propel the vessel at high speed.
According to the best information of
American naval designers, the new
cruisers will be the most
powerful afloat.

U. 5. will Make Demands
On Austria in PetrOlite Case

Washington, ID. C. = The United
States is preparing to make formal
demands upon Austria Hungary as a
result of the attack by an Austrian
submarine upon the American tank
steamer Petrolite. A note on the sub
ject will be dispatched within the next
few days.
It is said authoritatively that the
United States would stand by its orig
inal contentious and ask an apology
for the attack, punishment of the sub
marine commander and reparation for
damage done to the vessel and injuries
inflicted on a member of the crew.
In reply to the first American COM
munication Austria informed the State
department that its version of the
affair was that the submarine COM
mander thought the Petrolite an
enemy ship, disguised with the Amer
ican flag; that he fired on the vessel
because he believed it was about to
ram his ship, and that the commander
of the Petrolite voluntarily furnished
provisions when asked to do so.
The State department since has Sc
cured information from the captain
and crew of the Petrolite directly con-
Trajectory to the Austrian version.

Senate Measure Stronger Than
Administration Had Asked.
GARRISON PLAN PRACTICALLY RETAINED
Army and National Guard Virtually
Doubled in Strength New In
ducements for Recruits.

Washington, ID. C.--The first Of the
national preparedness measures to
reach either house Of congress for con-
sideration was introduced In the senate
Saturday by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman Of the military committee,
which perfected 1t after weeks Of
hearings and conferences. II proposes
an even more sweeping change in mill
tary policy than that outlined by Pres
ident Wilson in his annual message,
and was described by Mr.. Chamberlain
as the most comprehensive piece Of
military Legislation ever offered in
congress.
All Of the elementary administration
army plans prepared by ex-Secretary
Garrison are retained, although in al
tered form, and additional proposals
for organization Of industrial reserves
in peace times 60 even further than
the administration had suggested.
The house committees bill was
introduced Monday. There is no vital
difference between the two measures
and members of both committees be-
lieve that when the final bill, which
will be agreed on in joint conference
committee, has passed both houses.
the President will be able to afix his
signature TO a measure that will dc
more than he has asked toward build
ing up an adequate National defense.
Aside from its plan virtually to
double the Army and National guard,
the senate bill has four striking fea-
lures. One of these authorizes Feder-
al volunteer forces in peace times, the
object sought by Secretary Garrison
with his continental army plan. An.
other mobilizes all whose callings fit
them for special duty. The third
Federalizes the National guard and,
the fourth contemplates training Off
GERS from among graduates Of military
schools and colleges.
For the regular Army the bill pro-
vides a peace strength within five
years of 178, 900 men of all arms, or
approximately 165, 900 fighting troops.
The percentage of men in each COM
pany, battery or troop at peace
strength would be increased in the in
terests of efficiency, and the full war
strength would be 225, 900 men. The
Amy would consist of 65 infantry, rs
cavalry and 81 field artillery regiments
in addition to the staff and other spe-
cial corps and coast artillery.

"The cost Of construction for road

"When it is desired to treat an old

oil, good results may be obtained by
applying about two gallons of hot as
phaltum to the first square yard to
sacrificed surface and then by throw
ing on enough pea gravel and sand to
take up the hot oil. After this is
done it should be given thorough

the course of short time it is ready
for travel. Good country roads that
will stand many years Of wear under
ordinary traffic conditions may be con-
structed by this method at a cost of
about $70O per mile. Three factors
are absolutely necessary to the life of
such road: The first essential is a
good foundation or base, the second a
good grade Of heavy asphaltum oil
whose asphaltic content should be not
less than 80 per cent, and the third as
intelligent and efficient system of
