Ackerman Introduces
Highway Measure

Tie state highway bill concerning 9
which there is widespread interest,
ano which is recognized as one of the
most important constructive meas
ures to come before the legislature
has been il troduced by the committee
on roads and highways of the AS
sembly, of which Assemblyman
Geo. b. Ackerman is chairman The
bill has been considered in committee
for several days and has also been
submitted to number of legal author
tiles in order to secure a strict con.
formity to the constitution.
AS it stands the bill creates a
highway department of three mem
bers, who do not receive stated
salary, their remuneration being fixed
at $40 per day while in actual attend
ance upon their official duties. The
three directors are authorized to en-
ploy highway engineer, whose APP
pointment must be approved by the
federal department of good roads, at
an annual salary of s., 900 per year.
This engineer is made the executive
head of the department, subject to
removal by the highway directors.
The bill authorized the department
to make reconnaissance OF the high
ways, which shall be improved and
maintained by the state highway de
partment. A highway fund is to be
created by tax of two mills upon
the dollar, and to secure immediate
funds for the Department. the Legis
lature is asked to appropriate the
sum of $3.50, 900, which is to be re.
paid to the treasury from the depart.
ment's funds as soon as they become
available from the special highway
tax. -
From the fund so created the State
is to extend financial cooperation
sufficient to meet the Federal high
way appropriations made to Nevada
the remaining funds TO be expended
by the department in the construc
ton of State highways, one half the
cost Of construction TO be borne by
the counties in which such highways
may be located. A special provision
in the bill permits the department to
reduce the amount required from a
county financially unable to advance
half the cost of construction within
it's borders.
The bill does not provide for a
bond issue, the theory of its propo-
nents being that the two mill tax
would be sufficient for the work thai
could be accom- plished within the
next two years.
TIE bill also empowers the depart.
inent of highways, with the consent
oil the prison wdrden,t to employ prls
oners from the state prison upon the
highway work at the rate of twenty
+ i've cents per day.
The bill was introduced this morn

CONTROL OVER LOCAL ROADS
State Highway Departments Should
Be Given Some Measure Of Super
vision Over Thoroushfares.

The realization has become quite
general that, in order to render maxi
mum service, state highway depart
ments should be given some measure
of control over the construction and
maintenance Of local roads, For this
class of roads an amount exceeding
$160,OOOO0O is expended annually, with
comparatively little result to show in
the form Of improved road mileage for
this great outlay. The state Of Iowa
has met this situation by placing all
the road work in the state under the
direction of the state highway de-
partment.
Traffic is increasing so rapidly as to
cause excessive wear upon the roads,
especially in the vicinity of congested
centers Of population. This results in
a heavy annual maintenance cost, av-
eraging in the large eastern states not
less than $3.50 per mile per annum
Many experiments have been made in
the effort to devise types OF road
which can be maintained at relatively
low cost. Thus far, aside from the
cheaper forms of construction, the
states are depending upon the vari'
Gus forms OF bituminous macadam
concrete and vitrified brick road

ROAD
DING
CONTINUANCE OF GOOD ROADS
Strong Movement Throughout Coun-
try fer Honoring of Old Trails
Memorial Lincoln Highway.

No state in the nation is richer in
road traditions than the state Of
Maryland Much of its early history
might be written from the records in
which road construction, mainte'
nance and litigation figures. Some Of
the roads of Maryland |e of ancient
and honorable antiquity and where
these can be perpetuated-under con-
ditions of modern transformation, the
state is thereby engaged in preserving
The Harrison times., 1917-05-26

valued traditions while giving sane
ton to the established use of roads
that have been traversed a Century or
more, says Baltimore American There
is a strong movement the country
over for the honoring of the old roads
and trails. This is manifest in the
movement that cOntemplates a memo
rial highway to Abraham Lincoln. The
Old National Turnpike has clustering
about it traditions of history that
have been transformed into literary
lore under the magic pens Of essay
lists and poets. In the far West agl-
tatiOn for the preservation Of the old
trails is gaining in strength, and the
Old Oregon, and the Old Whiskey and
other historic trails that date back to
times immemorial will doubtless be
preserved as far as possible and,
where obliterated by the path of prog
ress, will be marked. Thus the trails
followed by the red men from Canada
even down to Central America will in
time be made matters of record and
reverence.
While sentimental and practical
considerations may not always be en-
braced in the conclusions of the good
roads commission, yet these should
be and doubtless are considered to-
gether in so far as the commission has
enlightenment and understands the
sentiment of the communities af-
fected. But the main proposition is
that the people of Maryland are a unit
for the continuance Of the good roads
movement. Baltimore has been great
ly advantaged by the construction of
paved streets from the country line,
over roads that enter the city. 1t
has deep interest in the prosecution
of the good roads work for the bene-
fit of the agricultural communities Of
the entire state. The traffic and trans
portation advantages are immense,
while the state is thereby elevated in
the view of the country at large. Let
the good roads work go on.

Bracelet Is Ancient Ornament.

BY the Romans bracelets were first
used as a reward for valor, Curtius
Dantius receiving no fewer than $50
Of these decorations. Among the wom-
en- Of Rome as Of Greece the craze for
this form Of adornment spread to an
extent to call forth the condemnation
Of Cicero. From Rome some centuries
after the Christian era the custom of
bracelet wearing spread to eastern
Europe and thence to Britain. Edgar
best and wisest Of the line Of Saxon
kings, bestowed bracelets upon the
men and women Of his court, while
the Danes, making peace with Alfred
the Great, swore fidelity upon them.
Through nearly ten centuries have
bracelets in one form or another main
tanned strong hold upon the affec-
tions Of women. although until the
time Of Benvenuto Cellini they had
been crudely simple in form and de-
sign.

ALL MUST BE ABLE TO READ
Exemptions In New immigration Law
In Favor Of Russian Jews Multi
fed by Revolution.

The new immigration law assumes a
new interest In view of the changed
conditions In Russia.
This law excluded all alien immi-
grants more than sixteen years of age
who cannot read some language. But
1t exempts certain classes-exceptions
that are inserted mainly in the interest
Of Russian Jews. Any immigrant who
can show that he comes to the United
States to escape religious and eco
nOmic persecution Is admissible wheth-
er he can read or not.
This Is the motive that has impelled
practically all the Russian Jewish i'm
migration of the last 80 years, says
Worlds Work. Thus the new immigra-
ton law, had conditions remained in
tact, would have excluded practically
no immigrants such as congregate in
large numbers on the East side of New
York. With the removal of all re-
ligious and economic disabilities in
Russia as result Of the Russian revo-
luton, this claim can no longer be
made, and Russian Jews will now have
to be able to read, like all other i'm.
migrants.
