MANNED MEN MUST
 REMAIN IN EUROPE
PHYSICALLY lNCAPACITATED EU- ROPEANS WILL BE BARRED
 FROM UNITED STATES.

hington.-Maimed and crippled survivors of European battletields will beat for admis sion at the gates of America in vain at the close of the war.
 Present immigration laws are 'en- tirely adequate" to check the influx of hopelessly crippled expected to fol low with the declaration of peace, and the bars will not be let down." said Acting Commissioner General of I'm migration Hampton.
 Any physical disability which would incapacitate an alien for self support ing labor, it was pointed out, would bar him under the section of the i'm migration laws excluding persons likely to become public chal ges. Unless European governments en- act restraining legislation, immigra- tion officials predict an unprecedent- ed wave of immigration into the United States will be seen at the h close of hostilities.
 Able-bodied men, as well as the crippled, seeing retarding influences on every hand, will attempt to escape from the chaos. Their governments, needing every man in the supreme effort at reconstruction, will undoubt- edly pass restrictive legislation. With these two elements present, he said, America is waiting with eyes open"

STRONG PLEA FUR
 ROAD AMENDMENT
CLAIMS VOTERS OF STATE FOR 16 YEARS HAVE PROVED THEY
 FAVOR A THREE-MlLL TAX.
REQUIRES A MAJORITY VOTE
Revenue From the Three-MiII Tax Not Sufficient to Build Permanent High ways Except in a Few Cases of
 the Wealthy, 1t is Said.

Little Rock Voters of Arkansas for Is years have proved that they favor q three mill levy, at present made annually by the quorum court on authority of ballots cast at general elections, and they will favor the proposed amend ment to the constitution known as "No. A." or the road amendment" if voters will take care to cast ballots either for or against at the general election this fall, according to J s. Abercrombie, county judge of Saline county and president of the Arkansas Good Roads Association.
 Judge Abercrombie, like other off cials of the association, who are staunch supporters of the proposed amendment, has taken an active part In the campat yn in it's behalf.
 The important thing is for those voters who want good roads to vote for the amendment, because all voters who do not vote one way or the other really cast votes against the amend ment. It requires majority, and those who vote in the election and at the same time do not cast ballots spe- officially for the amendment are count ed as voting against it." says the Ben ton man.
 Tt is the first real opportunity sub mitted to the people of the state 10 actually construct good roads with 1a int t,T first of all.
 "Oficials of the Good Roads AS sociation favor the amendment be cause the majority of voters of the state can authorize the quorum cour' to levy d three-mill tax for any giver number Of years not to exceed B < .fears, for the construction and main s iopnt ef a4R@ a4RRS@,,ey s,ys'Sifs ii rsssas m der present Jaws sj2l canr n tfe same manner authorize the court to levy the same tax for but one year Rt a time, which they have been do. Ing at every general election in the last Is years" said Judge Abercrom- bic. This fact-that the vote has been for the tax-shows conclusive1y that the people of the state want good roads by taxation," he points out.
 The amendment authorizes us to borrow money and build roads and pay for them as we use them, while under the present system we pay the same tax and spend it in small 'dribs trying to keep up the rights s-of-way which have been declared by county courts to be public roads, The reve- nue from the three-mill tax for one year is not enough to build perma nent highway except in few of the very wealth
