CORPORATION LICENSES TO LOWER

corporations engaged in inter
state commerce and embodying in
the license, or in the conditions
under which it is to be issued,
specific regulations designed TO
secure competitive selling and
prevent unconscionable profits in

ARBITRATION FOR LABOR
DISPUTES.

Labor not only is entitled to an
adequate wage, but capital should
receive q reasonable return upon
its investment and is entitled to
protection at the hands Of the
government in every emergency.
No government worthy Of the
name can play" these elements
against each other, for there is a
mutually Of interest between
them which the government must
seek to express and to safeguard
at all cost.
The right Of individuals to
strike is inviolate and ought not
to be interferred with by any
process of government, but there
is a predominant right, and that
is the right Of a government to
protect all Of its people and to
assert its power and majesty
against the challenge Of any
class.
LC kONCttItGiAty WHICH, ~ az
serts that right, seeks not to an
tagonize a class, but simply to de-
fend the right of the whole peo-
pie as against the irreparable
harm and injury that might be
done by the attempt by any class
to usnrp a power that only gov
eminent itself has a right to ex-
ercise as a protection to all.
In the matter Of international
disputes which have led to war,
statesmen have sought to set up
as a remedy arbitration for war.
Does this not point the way for
the settlement of industrial dis
putes, by the establishment of a
tribunal, fair land just alike to
all, which will settle industrial
disputes which in the past have
led to war and disaster? Ameri-
ca, witnessing the evil conse-
quences which have followed out
of such disputes between these
contending forces, must not adj
NIT itself impotent to deal with
these matters by means of peace
full processes.

Whit are the things 10 be considered
In locating the road7 What grade
should be maintained7 How should
the road be drained7 What are the
laws governing highway construction
There are few questions answered
In extension circular 6s dealing with
country roads.
locating road are: Easy grades.
good drainage. exposure TO sunshine.
elimination Of culyerts and bridges by
avoiding unnecessary creek CROSSINGS,
directness and the number Of farms TO
be served for a given length OF road.
Whenever possible TO avoid II. n good
location should not be rejected merely
because certain roadway has been IN
use for some time. II the location OF
used road Is bad II should be
changed II possible. In relocating roads
avoid railroad crossings at grades.
The grade Of the road Is important
for on this depends the weight OF the
load which can be hauled economically
BY grade is meant the rise or fall IN
feet for each 100 feet ia horizontal
length Of road. usually expressed In
percentage. A 8 per cent grade means
that the road rises or falls feet each
100 feet along ifs center line. II has
been calculated that on a smooth cOun
try road the load that one horse could
pull on level would require two on
. per cent grade. three on 10 per cent
grade and four on a 10 per cent grade.
Engineers usually figure a per cent
grade as Il maximum.
Road work IA Missouri has not been
as well managed us other public work
Projects have been too narrowly lin.
tied TO localities, resulting In frag
mentary effort. Skilled locating and
supervision Of construction have been
generally lacking. The remedies are:
First, q wider cooperation and the
adoption Of broad schemes Of improve
ment, preferably with units no smaller
thnn counties Second, the absolute
elimination of political considerations
In the spending Of money. Third, 90
curing good engineering advice in the
preparation Of plans and requiring
careful engineering supervision Of con
struction.

Der 10, 1919. after long and suffering
illness. Tho confined TO her bed for
several months, she was ever patient
and cheerful.
Marie, you have left ua,
Left this lovely land of ours
Left the beautiful trees,
Bees and birds, In whey bowers.
Flowers that to thy room brought
Gods own sunshine from Without:
Plants and vines that graced thy
Windows, tho storms be without.
The running brook and river
That sang to thee 10 childhood days,
That enliyened thee when sad
AS Ii went ripping on It's way.
Left those who loved thee,
Who are waiting for the day
When We will meet TO part no more,
But together stay.
Left place that can't be flled;
No longer do We see or hear,
But our hearts will always BIO
Full Of love for thee.
All this have You loft,
But your loss WAS not Ia vain:
You're far richer now S

FOR A BUDGET SYSTEM.

| hope that Congress will bring
to a conclusion at this session
legislation looking to the estab-
lishment of a budget system.
That there should be one single
authority responsible for the
making Of all appropriations and
that appropriations should be
made not Independent OF each
other, but with reference to one
single comprehensive plan Of ex-
penditure properly related to the
nations income, there can be no
doubt. | believe the burden Of
preparing the budget must, in
the nature of the case, II the
work is to be properly done and
responsibility concentrated in
stead of divided, rest upon the
executive. The budget so pre-
pared should be submitted to and
approved or amended by a single
committee Of each Honse of Con-
gress and no single appropriation
should be made by the Congress.
except such as may have been in
cluded in the budget prepared by
the executive or added by the
particular committee Of Congress
char6ad with the budget legisla-
ton.

FIGHT RULES
TO BE GONE
OVER TODAY
Pecord Will Meet Boxers
and Give Them Exact
Meaning of Laws.

Toledo. July 3.-Rules governing
the heavyweight championship con
test between Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey in Tex Richards $150,000
arena here tomorrow are to be Of
ficially interpreted at a meeting to-
day attended by Ollie Pecord, the
referee; Richard and Major a. J.
Drexcl Biddle, judges of the contest,
the boxers themselves and Jack
Kearns, manager of the challenger.
Previous to the meeting Willard
expressed himself as being willing to
box under any rules but suggested
that the contestants be permitted to
box as long as an arm is free. to break
at once at the command of the ref
cree and to break clean. Richard
said he understood that straight
apply, the boxers to take care Of
themselves at all times.
Kearns. who spoke for Dempsey.
said he intended to press the point
tina the judges should not sit to-
gether. but on opposite sides of the
ring. He also said that he did not
care how the rules were interpreted
so long as each borcr and the referee
agreed on what was to be exacted.
One Blow Barred.
The only blow that probably will be
barred Will be the kinney punch,
which, under the rules of the Toledo
boxing commission. is prohibited. AS
Pecord is the official referee of the
commission and tomorrow's contest
will be staged under license granted
by the commission. the punch UNI
doubtedly will be barred. No pro-
vision is made. however. for the rab-
bit punch, which Wizards admirers
say is a favorite blow with the cham
pion. The. blow is delivered on the
back of an opponents neck, and Will
lard as we'll as Dempsey, used it with
Furnishing effect in training romps.
The punch, it was indicated. would
be allowed so long as the boxer using
it did not hold his opponent with one
arm.
Richard said it was likely the box
ers would agree to tape their hands
in their dressing rooms and in the
presence of a representative of the
rival camp. Willard previously had
said he desired to. have Dempsey and
himself come into the ring with bare
hands and to adjust the cotton ban
dages and a thin layer of surgical tape
