Too Much Red Tape with Federal Govern
ment


The State Highway Department
finds that the processes necessary to
obtain federal aid in the construction
of state roads move more slowly than
was anticipated. State and federal
aid projects for road construction in
Cole and Jasper counties were COM
pleted by the department and sub
mitted to the United States Office Of
Public Roads in July. State Highway
Engineer Graham was notified that
the projects were in proper form, but
final approval has been delayed be-
| cause of the amount Of "red tape,
necessary to be unwound in passing
the projects through various hands
before they reach the Secretary of
Agriculture, who must approve all
federal aid projects submitted to the
various states. Owing to this delay,
arrangements were completed during
the past three weeks to use state road
funds, without combining with federal
money, to match dollars with coun
ties which are now ready to begin the
construction of state roads.
Under this arrangement actual con-
struction' of q state road In Taney
county, between Branson and the Ar
kansas line, is now under way, while
the surveys have been completed ano
work will begin this week on state
road project in Montgomery county.
Arrangements have also been made
to begin this week the survey OF the
state road which will connect Jetfer-
son City und Columbia.
The State Highway Department hat
practically finished its task OF check
ing up the II 800 miles OF inter. .coun'
ty seat highways in Missouri, making
proper apportionment Of the s2oo,oO'
road drag fund, and examining tht
plans and specifications submitted D!
the ia counties to obtain their pro
portionate share of the 1917 appro'
priation Of 100000 TO assist in the
permanent improve ment Of county
roads.
All counties are urged to prepare
and submit surveys OF officially des
ignated state roads as soon as pos
sible, so that there may be no della!
in the construction OF these reads.

This is certainly an ideal spot for an
artillery camp for the training OF

camp is on a reservation covering
1000 acres of Wisconsin's most sandy

through about six inches of sand the

IL we base our condnct on both can
we hope to achieve lasting results"
That is the way that DIR. Richard
Won kuehlmann, the German imperial
foreign secretary, is quoted in dis
patch that was published the other
day. AS to the authenticity of the
dispatch there can hardly be much
question, for it has the ring of the
previously expressed sentiment OF
that imperial servant.
Tie dispatch is but another evil
dence of the views of the German
ruling class whose psychology is AS
hopeless as its ethics is debased, and
no better proof can be asked for than
| the above quoted statement.
l. Now let LIS take that statement and
submit it TO cold dispassonate anaiy-
! sis aud see just what DR.. Won huehl-
mann really does say-and what ne
means. Might is important-and right
| is also important and we should base
our conduct on both, but observe that
| might comes first Aud observe fur
| ther that "we are anxious to drive no
other neutra!s into war against u5
f, and 80 we shall be most careful to
respect their rights as far as it, is
compatible with our own military
| needs.n
Without doubt this is intended as
reassuripg stltementand it is meant
to convey The idea that the German
government of to-day is a better gov
ernment, chastened by adversely, than
the government that committed the
crime against Belgium and sank the
Lusitania. It's purpose, ii it has any
purpose at all, is to assure those nen-
trails that have not yet been driven,
| by German wrongs, to war on Ger
many, that they need have no fear,
that their rights will be respected,
that their big neishbor is jast as wellas
strong. And then, in the same breath
---"as far as is compatible with our
military needs.''
Who is there that would not be just
as far az it was compatible with his
own needs!
| What most degraded criminal that
ever walked to the gallows ever re-
fused to obey the law as far as it was
compa tible with his own needs!
1t was because the German govern.
ment deemed it incompatible with its
own military needs to respect its
plighted words that it outraged Bel.
GUM.
1t was because it deemed IL incom'
patibe with its own military needs TO
respect the laws Of nations and hn"
manity that ii sank the Lusitauia.
But that Is not all, for German right
does not stop there. Pertinent Incl
dents, such as the abandonment OF
the forty one prisoners who were left

lish channel, the bombing of hospitals

tality OF military need" arc numer.
GUS and OF too frequent occurrence,
and no ''military need" has ever cx.
listed for such atrocities.
And to sum 1t all up, II is against

Moines, Ia, has one of the most un-
usual contracts ever let by the United
States government.
He has agreed to carry mail by air.
plane over route in Alaska ut a COM
pensation Of $49,5OO annually.
Byers will make two trips each week
between Nome and a camp 3S1 miles
inland. He will carry mail and pas
sengers, and his service will bring the
mining camp three weeks nearer the
outside world.
The country over which he will fly
Is mountainous. There are no level
tracts on which to make landing in
case his engine should stop. In winter
the snowfall Is between 25 and 80 feet
deep. Even should Byers' airplane
make safe landing In the snow be-
tween terminals 1t would be impossi-
BILE for the operator to get away again.
All Of these possible troubles We're
considered by Byers before he took the

navigation worked out by himself to

URGE DETHRONING
OF HOHENZOLLERNS
Mysterious Pamphlet Exercising
Police of Swiss
City.

London, April 3.-According to a
dispatch received here from Zurich
mysterious pamphlet urging the
discarding the house Of Hohenzollern
as rulers of Germany and the seating
Of the Bavarian Wittelsbachs in their
stead is creating much discussion.
The present state of Germany is
compared to that OF France in 1914
Is; just as Napoleon retired from
France. SO much the kaiser vacate
the throne Of Germany. A win for
the central powers is. affirms the
writer of the pamphlet, impossible.
and the feeling is gaining ground in
Germany that change Of dynasty
will smooth the way to peace.
The entente powers. it is argued.
have made known their reluctance
to negotiate with the Hohenzollerns.
and particularly with the kaiser and
crown prince. The removal Of the
Hohenzollerns would also lead to the
end OF Prussian hegemony, and would
make for the establishment OF a
greater Germany. too.
The cooperation of the Germans
in Austria is demanded. especially as
the dual monarchy is fastening to-
wards its end. and such union
would be greatly facilitated by the
elevation of the house OF Wittelsbach
to the supreme position In the land.
Commenting on the pamphlet. the
Volksrecht points out that II cannot
be an entente production; hatred Of
the entente is too plainly displayed
In the document. 1t Ia apparently
an echo Of the Bavarian movement
to give that state predominance In
the German empire.
There is a deep-seated suspicion
that members OF the Bavarian royal
family cannot be entirely unconcern-
cd with its production. since the au-
thor so insistently urges their ele-
walton.
II the authors aim has been mere
ly to suggest the formation OF a CEN
trail empire of German states. he
would surely have designated the
Austrian Emperor Carl as the ruler
most likely to be accepted.

it will be dealt with with a firm
hand.
America is privileged to spend
her blood for the princi-
pies that gave her birth and happi-
ness and the peace which she has
treasured. God helping her, she can
do no other.
Vessels of every kind
have been ruthlessly sent to the bot
tom without warning and without
thought of help or mercy for those
on board, the vessels Of friendly neu-
trails along with those of belligerents.
Even hospital ships
have been sunk with the same reck-
less lack OF compassion or principle.
Property can be paid for; the
lives OF peaceful and innocent peo-
pie cannot be.
The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is war
against mankind.
"Our motive will not be Of re-
venge or the victorious assertion OF
the physical might OF the nation, but
only the vindication Of right. Of hui
man right, Of which we are only a

the extension to those governments
OF the most liberal financial credits

way to be effective there.
