Whenever these plans are accented.
in accordance with the terms of the
Federal Good Roads law. by the
Agricultural Department. the road
work shall begin, and the state of
Nevada shall spend an equal amount
swith the federal government, for "A
period of five year.
The total amount, state and federal
to be expended in 1917 shall be ap-
proximately $12s.000, in 1918 $256.00o.

ceeds from the 10 cents special levy
are available. when the $4,000 shall
be returned to the general fund.
After construction, these roads shall
be maintained and kept in repair by
the state. Since. in all probability. IL
will be the policy of the federal gov
ernment at the conclusion of this five
year period, to continue the plan OF
assisting the state in road building
for many years to come, the Griffith
Williams bill contemplates ap olicy OF
not having the state expend any more
money. during the next five years,
than the terms of the Federal Good
Roads law requires, so that we may
conserve our resources and thus be
enabled to continue our cooperation
with the federal government in
further road building after the con-
clnsion of this five year period.
The bill provides that all money
shall be raised by direct taxation, this
avoiding a bond issue.
BY the state raising all the money,
and not requiring or depending upon
the counties to contribute. the High
way directors can lay out plan with
an eye single TO the best interest of
the state as whole; and under the
very stringent requirements of the
federal government Theser Dads will
be built in the best possible way. and

Mis- Kingston has high soprano
voice. admirably trained. dramatic
rather than lyric in quali,,, which
showed to advantage in the rendition
of the various numbers of the pro-

group. which were sung with more
ease and confidence than her first
numbers.

play musicianly aud artistic finish
while her singing, which has much
charm and mnsicianly interpretation

mirers.

fast WORK NECESSARY
TO CLEAR THE DECKS
Legislators Will Give Attention to
Favorite Bills During Concluding
DAYS of Session,

With only ten days left in which
to do business. the members Of both
houses of the legislature will do
some tall hustling for action on
favorite bills every day and every
night until midnight Of April IS. No
bills can be passed April 10, the day
of adjournment. The two houses will
meet merely to approve the journals
Of the dav before.
Tibet members Of both houses have
carried out their intention Of giving
the most important measures a
chance. Not all Of them have been
enacted into law by any means. but
they have all had their chance. A
general drainage bill and a food con-
troll bill. two of the most important
measures to the farming interest of
the state. have passed the house.
Constitutional prohibition has passed
both house and senate. Statutory
prohibition was killed in the house.
A proposed constitutional amendment,
granting suffrage to women, passed
the house. but probably will be de-
feated in the senate. which killed the
statutory bill granting partial suf-
frage. The bill for a tonnage tax
on iron ore got through the house
by four votes. but was defeated in the
senate.
The presidential primary law was
repealed, but neither senate nor
house would consent to any change
in the state primary law, affecting
either legislative or executive offices
The senate passed the bill for a nom
partisan state convention to- nominate
justices of the supreme court.
A new road law under which a sin
gle commissioner takes the place Of
the old highway commission of three
members already is in operation, and
it is predicted that there will be
more road building in Minnesota dur
ing the next two years than during
any similar period in the states
history.
The fate Of the public domain bill,
the most important of all on the pro-
gram. is in doubt. Defeated in the
senate by one vote. 1t has been
amended in the house to meet the
objection Of some Of the opposing
senators. and has become the bone
of contention in the most sensational
political fight of the year between
Governor Burnquist. favorinE the bill,
and State Auditor Preus. opposing 1t.
The fate Of the measure in the house
will be decided tomorrow.
