For Highway Bond Issue.

The resolve introduced in the legis-
lature by Representative Fulton ].
Redman of Ellsw orth to provide for a
"a, 000, 900 bond issue for permanent
highway improvements, promises to
be one of the most important of the
session, and the most warmly de-
bated.
This amendment would, If the reso-
luton is adopted, be submitted to the
people next September at a special
election which will probably be held
at that time in connection with other
matters. Mr.. Redman's idea is not
to defeat the mill tax necessarily, but
he believes that the people will never
willingly bear the burden of this tax
if the proposed mill tax law as it now
stands is enacted without any bond
money to go with it.
The resolve is framed in such way
as to obviate the danger of putting
bond money into nom permanent
features of road construction. Mr..
Redman is not in favor of building
roads entirely with bond money, as
some people advocate, because much
of this construction would not out
live the maturity of the bonds. But,
when we dig our way through the
forests around Mann hill, and thereby
create highway which will be used
by generations FIVE hundred years
hence, he believes it is not unfair that
we should distribute the burden OF
paying for this construction over a
period of forty years, taking from
current taxation of course sufficient
sum to pay for the surfacing and nom
permanent features.
This plan of bonding permanent
features would work out wall with a
tax of three quarters of mill, and
Mr.. Redman believes it we'll to keep
the highway tax down to this figure.
If the proposed mill tax bill as ii
now stands is enacted, 1t would mean
that one county would get the federal
road each year and there would only
be $186, 900 left for State highway
construction in the remaining fifteen
counties annually.

On Verge of War.

Unless new precedent is to be es-
tablished, war between the United
States and Germany is certain. Di
plomatic relations have been severed,
and this situation in the relations of
two first class powers has never yet
been reached without war following.
The severance of diplomatic reia-
tons by this country quickly followed
the announcement by Germany of
new policy OF unrestricted submarine
warfare, in violation Of all promises
previously made to this country.
The only thing that will now avert
war is a studious avoidance by Ger
many of any violation of the rights
of Americans and American vessels
on the high seas under international
law, and the history of German sub
marine warfare during the present
war and the attitude of Germany in
the face of the present crisis make
this chance remote.
4hOh0 40 b OCA0A sh0s q
break with this country mas been de-
hoerately sought by Germany with
the view of Withdrawing from Eng
land the ammunition and food supplies
from this country which she could
stop in no other way. For the same
reason the allies hope that the United
States will not actually engage in
hostilities, but in addition to the
moral support now actually arrayed
against Germany, will contribute in
larger measure in foodstuffs and am
munition.
In the meantime the United States,
calmly and with a business like pre-
cision that has astonished foreign dip
lomats at Washington, is preparing
for the war which it believes is in
evitable. And the entire country will
stand behind the President the COM
mander- in chief.
