RIGHT you ARE BROTHER

The Fallon Standard in an editorial
in its last issue quotes Secretary Ben
nett, OF the National Lincoln Highway
association, as saying:
What the tourist wants 1t good
roads-the best route will get the
traffic regardless OF marking and
II the north route" is improved
to a high standard, they need no
agitation for Lincoln Highway
markers to gain their share of the
traffic.
Right you are brother. the tourists
will follow the best roads, and the
north route" needs no agitation for
Lincoln Highway markers in order
to get its share OF the traffic. The
north route" is the logical route; IL
has the best road, and has the advant.
age OF paralleling the railroad. The
great majority of tourists will follow
this route for it is the route of least
resistance. This being so. what argu.
ment is there for marking the so-called
south route" with Lincoln markers
1t is true that in the tentative plans
for the Lincoln highway the south
route" was selected, but 1t was an er.
ror which can easily be rectified.
Because a person happens to have
stepped in muck 1t is no reason that
he should stand there.

new system OF registration, making
the county clerk the registry agent.
and provides that after a voter Is once
registered his name will be kept upon
the registry for all future elections.
But in case a voter neglects TO vote
at an election his name will be
crossed off the register and he will
be compelled to register II he again
desires to vote. This cuts off the
fees OF the registry agent for regis
tering names.
Another expense that the bill, 1t is
reported, cuts out, is doing away
with the sheriff distributing the bal
lot boxes and supplies and the man.
ner Of sending or bringing in the re-
turns OF an election, this work being
done by mail, parcels post or express.
The bill is quite lengthy and only
some OF its provisions could be
learned. There are a number of
other changes made in the old law
which further reduces the expense
and simplifies the operation of the
law.-Appeal.
