Speaking with an easy manner in

against the Kaiser.
Mr.. Rhett quoted orders and speech
es of the Kaiser to drive home this
dilierence; he showed the nature o.
the tight and the terrific extent Of the
struggle. He showed what those Oh

HIGHWAY. OFFICIALS
INVITED, TO MEET
IN SALT LAKE CITY

Salt Lake City, Dec. 2S.-Highway
officials representing thirteen western
and northwestern states have been in
vited to meet here, Friday, January 8,
to consider means Of saving federal
Dad appropriations to states of large
area and small population. The m
vitations have been sent out by Ira r.
Browning, state road engineer for
Utah.
Representatives Of all western
states, including North and South Da-
kota, have been invited, and it is un-
derstood hat all will send delegates.
One of the last acts of the annual.
meeting of state highway officials,
held recently in Chicago. according to
Mr.. Browning, was to place the meet
ing on record as favoring a proposed
law providing for a change the ratio
of government support of state high
ways in order to give commonwealth
of large area and small population a
better opportunity to meet require
ments. 1t was decided, however, to
leave the basis Of the recommends
ton to be. fixed at a meeting Of rep
resentatives of the states most inter-
ested-those of the west and NORTH
west.
Under the present law the federal
and state government divide appro-
priations for federal aid road projects
on a basis Of fifty per cent each. In
western states, some of which have
from one to ten population to he
square mile, Notwithstanding long
stretches Of road to be built, repaired.
improved and maintained, it is diff
cult to meet the requirement. 1t is
hoped to I'M a remedy for this situa-
ton at the meeting scheduled for
January 3.
