An attempt on the part OF Senator

committee into third reading was de
feated Wednesday afternoon by S.s
ator McCarten, who openly >resentet
what he condemned as an effort tt
railroad this important bill through
without allowing time for proper con
sideration. !
Senate Bill 1874 is the leagues
board Of administration measure
which concentrates in the hands OF
a commission Of five control of all ed
ucational, penal and charitable institu
tions, including. the public schools
The bill originally provided for com
mission OF three to be appointed. II
was amended in state affairs commit
tee by adding the state superintendent
Of public instruction and the commits
sioner Of agriculture and labor When
1t came back to the senate for third
reading it was rereferred, bObbing up
once more Wednesday, with some new
amendments "ta E 5-
E The most recent change restores
one Of the original features of the
bill, that which provided for an ad-
visory educational commission to
study the needs Of the schools, de-
wise plans for standardization and
regulation and to investigate the
feasibility of the stae's publishing it's
own text books.
AS the bill now stands the state su-
perintendent of public instruction
would be eX-Officio chairman of this
commission whose other members
would be one county superintendent,
one city superintendent, one repre-
sentative of the state normal schools
and one member to alternate yearly

Much Federal Aid
AMENDMENTS PENDIN
Changes in National Post Roads
Act Would Give State d
$75O,OOO at Once

In accordance with the federal ait
road act passed in 1916, $75.OO0,OU
federal aid so allotted among the vari
Gus states for the Improvement Of stat,
highways that North DakOta's share
for the 5-yeur period ending June 30
1921 was $1.14S, ,S48.37. The various al
lotments for the followings years eacl
ending June 30 are as follows: 1917
S7G1f3.0G: 1913. ,$102.22SG.12; 1919
S22o.5S5.ol; 1920, $3O7 BAIL 1921
$3St.4S7.17. .,.l
In order to avail itself Of this money
the state must raise an equal amount
the law being Il dollar for dollar prOIO
Sition. II any state should fail to eX
pend its annual allottmcnts within q
reasonable time, such uneXpended ullot
mentS revert to the federal treasury t

der present conditions, the state high
way department. having no funds fol
construction at its disposal to secure
federal aid. is compelled to rely upon
the counties to raise the money to o.
tain suclf aid. &c.,. -.
BY June 80, 1919, the state higllwa!
department will have built state high
ways on which about $15O.OOO federal
aid will have been consumed There
fore, on that date. the department will
be- Approximately $:'OS,OO behind the
federal ala program and by June 30
1920. nearly $SOO.OOO wUr:h of roals
will need to be built involving SiOOOOl
federal aid. In 1921. an additional
$500, GOO of federal all projects will
need to be constructed.
There is now pending III congress III
amendment to the present federal aid
law which is practically certain OF
passage and which will make immedi
ately available to North Dakota about
$75O.0OO. Additional sums provided fol
each of the years 1920 and 1921 will
amount to about $1.125, 10000 annual
lN llr total, it is evident that about
$2,50O.OOO federal aid will need to be
expended in the state prior to the close
of 1921 or on a $3.50, basis 5000, COX
worth of state highways must be con
/ structed. Prior to the close Of The
1922 over $S.OOO,OOO worth Of fedora
aid projects INVOLVING over $4,000 fed

Tile expenditure Of Sl(lft,t 80, annual!
*on state highways for the next severa
years should result in d marked i'm
provement of the states principal high
ways.
This and other legislation elsewhere
In the union indicates that we arc
about to enter on an era Of unusual
highway development. 1t is the duty
of the legislators. road officials in the
state, and the citizens at large to MAKE
every effort that none Of these vast
sums of federal aid allotted to Norti
Dakota shall escape this state. State
or county funds or both must be pro
vided and utilized in the improvement
Of the highways Of the state.
