ton Of State Highway Commission
Not Make Part Of Platform.

Des Moines, July II. "Harding's
road plank in his platform is notable
chiefly for what 1t does not say and
for what it says In q manner that lends
itself to any Interpretation, according
to the sentiment Of the locality in
which it is being used as campaigning
material" said D. w. Norris. of Mar
8 shallybwn. chairman Of Governor
Cla1ke's better roads commission, We'd
H/sday.
1T sounds exactly like any of Har-
ding's road speeches, which could be
made to apply to any view OF the mat
ter which his hearers happened to
desire for 1t. It endorses roads good
enough for any legitimate purpose
without mentioning the fellows who
desire to use the roads for illegitimate
purposes. It contains a clause favor
Ing the best roads the people are will
ing to pay for that can be emphasized
among the good roads boosters. For
the opponents Of good roads 1t has a
clause condemning bond issues, and
: this can be emphasized where his pur-
poses demand It."
Taxpayers League Double Crossed.
One Of the most striking features
OF the plank on roads is the fact that
it completely double crosses" the
United Taxpayers League, according
to Mr.. Norris. Mr.. Harding endorsed
the resolutions of the league in re-
ply to an interrogatory sent out by
that organization to all candidates for
Office in the state and county elections.
The resolutions called for the abolish

League Objects to Plank.
The taxpayers league was repre-
eented before the resolutions committee
OF the convention by delegation ask
ing for plank condemning the high
way commission and speaking for its
abolishment. The committee rejected
the offered plank.

even Sam Riniker in his own district,
where thinker had made good roads an

Harding knew that these men would
not stand for too much from the other

when the taxpayers league comes to

troll the committee and had to let it
