Thus not only win the larger cities.

highways. A system of that size would
reach practically every county of the
state and connect nearly all the cities
nnd villages having more than 1000
population. as well as many other
smaller places.
II the forthcoming general assembly
should authorize vote upon this aues-
ton. IL could not be submitted to the
people until the next general election.
November. 1918 believe IL f. desir-
able to vote upon this question at an
.'on year" election when there are no
national issues TO be decided, no ma
llonal Offices, and very few state offices
to be flled. II the question Of sub
mitting this proposition 20 the people
is not acted upon until the general us
scnibly meets In January. 1919. then
ille election would be held In 1910 Mt
the time OF presidential election, rs
we'll as at time when our principal
state officials are elected. II might
then become an issue In the state cnm-
paign. or be oYcrshadowed By other
questions. IL the fftleth general as
seInbly shall authorize vote taken In
1918 IL would be some months after
the election before work could begin;
as II would be desirable 20 have the su-
preme court pass upon the proceedings
In order TO give the bonds a stable
market. Therefore. II we go at the
matter as expedltIousiy as possible IL
would be the summer OF 1919 before
work would be commenced; and II n
considered that II would probably take
from tive TO seven years To construct
this 4.oO0-mile system: / believe IL Il
high time that the movement should
be started.
The next question that arises II.
what would be the source from which
the money should be derived to pay tho
principal Of a s80ooo.0oo bond issue
and tho interest thereon7 Assuming
that IL would require flve years To
make the Improvement and that the
bonds would be issued ssriaily under
a 2Syear limit. all bonds would mature
within 20 years from the date OF the
frs; issue. or practically nj the aver
age rate Of 100000 per year A.
aurning the interest rate TO be 4 per
cent. which I believe TO be simple un-
der any ordinary conditions. the an.
nnal interest would approximate 81
100000 which would mean an annual
payment OF S3Doo.o0o including both
principal and interest.

Won Papen Directs
Spying In Argentina

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 29-sCapt. Franz
Won Papen, formerly German military
attache at Washington, who was In
dicted for alleged conspiracy in the
Won der Foltz plot to destroy the Wei
land canal, is directing German es-
pionage work in this city, according to
several Of the newspapers. They as
sert that persons of whose veracity
there can be no doubt have seen Won
Papen accompanying Teuton propa-
gandists on a number Of occasions
and several times have reported the
fact to the British Consul
Following his dismissal from the
United States for alleged improper ac-
tivity in military affairs the former
military attache has been reported at
various places and is said to have re-
ceived special honors at the hands of
his government
The Argentine press several times
previously has made bitter complaints
of the German underground system
and here and in other leading cities
of South America its activities more
than once have caused serious clashes.
