poses, according to a ruling issued by
the United States food administration

Issue of Z Billions of Per Cent
Bonds Suggested

Washington Dispatch, Aug. II.
Issuance of 1888, 945 900 worth of
four per cent Federal bonds, subject
only to income supertaxes, war prof.
its and excess profits taxes, and de-
signed to provide $4,OOO,OOO, 900 for
further allied loans and to retire the
So ,OOO,O00,000 non-taxable 1-2 per
cent issue now authorized to cover
loans to the Allies is contemplated in
suggestions submitted by Secretary
McAdoo today to the House Ways and
Means committee.
Receipt of the suggestion caused
immediate activity among both DEM
ocrats and Republicans of the COM
mittee, many of whom are opposed
to the details of the secretary's plan.
While taxing the bonds is generally
favored, something more concrete
than the secretary suggests such as
a flat levy of six per cent on the in
terest rate, or anplication of the in
come tax, appears to be more gener-
, ally desired by House members.
: The four per cent interest proposal
probably will be accepted by the COM
mittee.

GRAVE MENACE IN

Government Plans Swift and Drastic

Government Plans Swift and Drastic
Action to Check Agitation in the
Far West
Washington Dispatch, Aug. 16.
Grave menace to industries whose
continuation at high speed is deemed
vital to the prosecution of the war
is seen by officials here in the grow
ing activities of l. w. W. leaders
on the Pacific coast and in the far
Northwest.
The movement apparently is near
ing its maximum and the full scope
OF its possibilities is not minimized
here. A pretentious program calling
tor strikes, lockouts and general dis.
turbances over seven States, or about
one-fourth Of the area of the country
has been brought to attention of the
Department of Justice by expert field
investigators now lin the affected
territory.
Swift and drastic action to check
the movement, in so far as it would
cripple industries or curtail produc-
ton of commodities necessary fol
war, is planned by officials. In MANY
instances, however, the department
labors under the handicap of being
unable to proceed until an overt ac1
has been performed.
Prosecution of strike leaders, where
| justified in the opinion of the depart.
ment, on charges of conspiracy o,
under the espionage act, is contem
plated in specific cases but no gen
eral prosecution of the I. w. w. lead
ers is expected.
The entire movement, eliminating
yesterday in the declaration at Spo
kane Of James Rowan, district sec
rotary of the organization, that {
general strike would be called Au
gust 20 in Washington, Oregon, Mon
tana and Idaho, unless certain de
mands were complied with is regard
ed as being political and not a labo1
movement. Instructions have beer
sent to field workers to determine, a.
far as can be done, whether thu
threatened strike is a part of a pro
gram deliberately designed to hamp
Err the government in the prosecution
of the war.
District attorneys in the fou

GAMER BY IMPROVED ROADS
Careful Analysis Shows Greatest
Gain Over Present Conditions Is
Man on Branch Road.

The development of sentiment
for issuing bonds to build permanent
roads has brought to the surface many
questions which require careful con-
Moderation and demand clearly stated
aid convincing replies. Of these, the
one recurring most frequently is:
"What advantage is there in bond is
sue for the farmer who lives several
miles from one of the improved
roads?"
At first glance it would seem that
the man living directly upon the i'm
proved road obtains the greatest bene.

ROYAL LINE IN A DEMOCRACY
rRoads Rule the World-Not Kings Or
Congresses, Not Courts, Nor Con-
stables or Soldiers"

In an argument for good roads some
wise man, whose name has been lost,
&made use Of the following: "Roads
'rdle the world-not kings, nor con-
crosses, nor courts, nor constables,
not ships nor soldiers. The road is
the only royal line in democracy, the
only legislature that never changes,
the only court that never sleeps, the
only army that never quits, the first
aid to the redemption Of any nation,
the exodus from stagnation in any So
ciety, the call from savagery in any
tribe, the high priest of prosperity,
after the order of Mclchisedec, with.
mt beginning Of days or end of life.
The road is umpire in every war, and
when the new map is made, it simply
pushes on it's great campaign of help.
hope, brotherhood, efficiency and
peace"
The value of good roads may be
better understood when it is known
that the average cost to farmers of
the United States to transport produce
to market is more than % cents per
ton per mile. These figures do not in.
clude the cost of breakage Of harness
or vehicles. The cost per ton per
mile over hard-surfaced roads is less
than half the present average.
