The complete text Of Governor
Burnquist's letter to Arthur lie Sueur,
executive secretary of the National
Nonpartisan league. follows:
'Your invitation to address the
Nonpartisan campaign rally is de-
clined by me for the following reas-
ons:

that Ii is nonpartisan, but in fact

organization is doing everything
within it's power to increase il.
AT the time Of our entrance into
the European conflict your organiz-
ers condemned our government for
entering the war. When it became
apparent that this course would re-
suit in disaster for their organiza-

made an eleventh hour claim to pure
loyalty, but Notwithstanding this
claim, the National Nonpartisan

to get farmers to oppose business
men and employees to oppose employ

Head Of Department That Administers
Federal Aid Act Tells Of
Highway Problem.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
Governmental agencies dealing with
highway problems fully recognize tho
vital military and economic Importance
of the country's roads, according to a
letter from Secretary Of Agriculture
Houston to Arthur II. Fleming, chief Of
the state councils section, council of
national defense.
The secretary, whose department adj
ministers the federal aid road act,
stated also that the government recog-
nizes that It is necessary to construct,
reconstruct or maintain roads essen
tlal for military and vital economic
purposes and to defer action on roads
not OF this class; and that 1t Is desir-
able, wherever possible, to use local
materials for road building and main
tenance in order to relieve railroad
traffic.
Important highways, as described In
the secretary's letter, include only
those utilized, or to be utilized. by the
military establishment, those which
carry considerable volume of mate
rails and supplies essential to war In
dustrles, and those which have bear
Ing on the production and distribution
Of food supplies, connecting popula-
ton and shipping centers with sur
rounding agricultural areas.
Attention Is called to the formation
Of the United States highways council.
This body was suggested by the secre-
tary to coordinate federal agencies In
terested In highway problems. The
council Is made up Of representative
each from the department Of agrlcul-
ture the war department, the railroad
administration, the fuel administration
and the war industries boards. 1t will
form a unified agency for dealing, on
behalf of the federal government, with
highway construction, maintenance and
policies. 1t will, of course, through the
office of public roads and rural engi-
neering of the department, continue
the close contact already established,
both formally by law and informally
by practice, with the state highway
commission in each state.
The Office of public roads and rural
engineering and the highways council
will actively consider the supply, for
highway purposes, Of road oils, as

SCOUTS AID AIRPLANE MAIL.

When the eirplane mail service start
ed, the Washington post Office needed
a large number of additional messen-
gers to deliver the mail brought by the
first aero mail carrier.
Finding that nowhere near the re-
quired number could be employed on
short notice, the officials asked the
Washington scout headquarters for as
sistance.
In an incredibly short time 200
scouts on bicycles were modified. and
in So minutes every piece of mail was
delivered. They took the messages for
the president. members of his cabinet
and other government officials.

ministration, and the matter of prior
ity production for highway materials
controlled by the war industries board.
They will also, in contact with the
railroad administration, aid in secur-
Ing, so far as practicable, facilities for
the transportation of road materials
and supplies. Furthermore, the office
of public roads and rural engineering
will. act as the medium for furnishing
information and assistance on highway
problems, especially to state highway
authorities in meeting the various DIFF
ficulties which they encounter.
When the United States entered the
war the work of planning state high
way systems, so that, as far as neces-
sary and feasible. they would connect
with the systems Of other states, was
well under way. This resulted from
efforts to administer the federal aid
road act, so that the roads of vital i'm
portance for economic, military and
other purposes should first be dealt
with. The federal aid road actin
volving an aggregate fiye-year expendi-
ture, directly and from state and local
funds. Of $160,000,000 In addition to at
least S20O,0OO0O0 spent Independently
each year by the states-provides that
the states must maintain the roads
and that before any money can be ex-
pended the roads must be selected and
approved and plans, specifications and
contracts submitted.
The secretary also calls attention to
the fact that road engineers have been
provided by the department for each
of the army environments and for work
on roads elsewhere In which military
authorities were interested.
