by it's officers.
A supplementary report to the de-

present state of discipline among the
American force.
A report from Murmansk dated
March %, said the Onda bridge on the
railroad south of Murmansk had been
rebuilt restoring communication with
the southernmost post Of the allies.
While the actual situation Of the

three thousand miles of good roads
were built undcr the Elwell law be-
fore it was repealed, there is reported
an active sentiment for its re-anct-
ment-which speaks well for the eff
ficacy Of the law
| The Babcock plan proposes to inn
bed in the Constitution the fifty main
routes that will serve the people of
his state for many years sixty three
hundred miles of them, and reaching
to every county in such a way that
some one of them may be reached from
any point in the State by drive of a
few miles, except in certain sparsely
settled regions in The north.
Obviously, it is highly important
that these routes should be carefully
designated now, because, once in the
Constitution. they cannot readily be
changed. However, the exact course
of each will not be described only
the main points through which they
pass. But they should be laid out
so as to accommodate the greatest
travel The road from Duluth to st.
Paul, for example, should be tapped
by diagonal road from point near
Forest Lake, running direct to Min
neapolis, so that both the Twin Cities
would be equally accessible from Du
luth. Similarly the road coming up
the Mississippi from opposite La
Crosse to st. Paul, should have a dag
onal branching off at Pennington and
running direct to Minneapolis.
The financing of the Babcock plan
is also a matter for the most careful
study. The issue of bonds is, of
course, necessary, and the ultimate
payment of these must be properly
provided for. The present expecta-
lion is that sufficient State tax on
all vehicles will be laid in lieu of both
the present license and the present
property tax, to "pay out" the bonds
as they become due. According to one
computation this tax would run from
ten dollars year for a new Ford to
seventy-fivo dollars a year for The
heaviest and most powerful new cars.
For used cars the tax would be gradu-
ated down according to length of use.
The plan; so far as outlined, con-
templates the completion of the sys-
tenn in about ten years at total cost
of perhaps sixty million dollars.
The proposed amendment provides
that if necessary a general tax may
be laid to help pay for the State roads,
but the expectation seems to be thai
the motor-driven vehicles will bear
practically the whole burden. Is this
right? Is it sound? Doubtless these
vehicles will gain greatly in use and
value from these roads. But land val
ues will be greatly affected also. Land
AUDITING on State roads will be worth
more than land few miles away. Is
that increase in value not to bear some
portion of the burden of cost? 1t
certainly ought Minneapolis Jour
nal.

DON'T WANT STATE AMEND
MENT.

The Bill asking for the submission
of the state Suffrage Amendment
known as the Warner Bill because in
troduced by Representative c. H. War
ner of Aitkin, and which was passed by
the House January 22nd, does not
meet with the approval of the Min
nesota Woman Suffrage Association
and will be strenuously opposed by
that body when it comes before the
Senate. The facts of the case seem
to be that the Minnesota Suffrage As
ISOLATION, the old established suffrage
organization Of the state, which has
worked for suffrage measures for
many years, believes that when the
difficulties of amending the Mime
sofa Constitution are duly considered.
a Safe Referendum would be shown
to be costly and well nigh impossi-
bic achievement. Moreover the Asso-

Convention and declared against the
State Amendment policy and COM
mitted itself to the Federal policy and
to such statutory suffrage measures
as lie within the gifts of the legisla-
sure.
The candidates for the present legis-
lature were thoroughly canvassed on
this subject; all of these men have
been informed of The views of the
main body Of suffragists of the State
as to what they desired to work for
and what they believed could be won.
The Bill for the State Suffrage
Amendment, according to Mrs. An
dreas LELAND, President of the Asso-
citation is not backed by any respon-
sible body of suffragists. If it is
forced to an issue, it will be against
the will of the women who will have
to spend time, strength and money
in a fight which they believe to be
useless and out of harmony with the
national suffrage policy.
The question Of the squareness of
this deal is worth considering.
The objection of the women to the
Amendment is not based upon laziness
lack of knowledge of political condi-
tions, nor lack of coherent policy,
but upon the experience of suffrage
leaders the country over in regard to
constitutions such as that of Mime
sofa.

ahead ~ -eaen, standing across the
road in such a manner as to make it
impossible to pass.
AS the roads have been in a fright
full condition during the present warm
weather, he naturally supposed that
5he car was stalled in the mud and
was about to stop his car. Before he
succeeded in doing so, four mon

covered the motor party with huge
revolvers, at the same time ordering
them to stop.

Others had their faces uncovered. Mr..

that they might op.n them if they

of large flashlights carefully examin-
ed the car. When they were convinced
that the car contained no booze,
which, Judging from their converse

CREDIT THE LAWYERS

Little as the average lawyer may
have thought of that side of the sit
uation, it is worth while, in common
justice, that somebody has come out
in print with the fact this profession
also did it's important share of war
work. Each other profession has re-
ceived credit; but the services of the
lawyer were less visible to the public,
largely, perhaps because they requir-
ed no uniform. His legal training
made him particularly valuable in the
various "drives" that filled the war
chest; it cant in handy when the COM
plicated business of the draft and it's
perplexing questionnaires had to put
through by the government; and it
was extremely useful on nearly every
kind of war service commission. The
lawyer, as says this timely reminder
"has won no title, worn no uniform,
received no pay, and obtained no glo-
ry" but the profession ungrudgingly
contributed it's full need of service
