MAY OPPOSE BILL
TO LEVY TAX FOR
STATE HIGHWAYS
Chamber of Commerce Be-
y lieveS Memphis and Shelby
Will Not Derive Full Bene-
fits Under Measure.

At a conference 10 he held late
Wednesday afternoon between 10 mem
bers of the Shelby county legislative
delegation and members Of the Mem
phis Chamber of Commerce board of
directors n highway committee. the
legislators in all probability will be
asked by the Chamber of Commerce
TO oppose the passage of senate bill
4I6 as now projected as being inequita-
BILE for Shelby county.
This bill. introduced by Senators
Cameron. Long and Patton, is defined
in the following terms:
IAN act to designate and provide for
the construction of "A state system OF
permanent highways; to authorize the
issuance m sale from time to time
of bonds of the state of Tennessee in
an amount not exceeding $50. 000, 600 to
raise funds Necessary for building and
repairing highways; to levy a tax suf-
ficient to pay the interest and retire
said bonds at maturity; to provide Tor
the creation of u state highway fund
by the levy of a tax Of one mill on
all taxable property in the state and
the levy of a privilege tax on all auto
mobiles, trucks, motorcycles, and
other vehicles to an amount sufficient
with the one-mill tax to pay for the
building and maintenance of the roads
provided for, and to exercise all the
powers of the state pertaining to high
ways therein. n to act Tor the state
in compliance with the federal Laws
providing for federal aid in building
Estate highways
Forty-four state roads are projected
in the bill, to run from county seat
to county seat. of these but three
would radiate from Memphis, while
Nashville would get seven.
According to w. H. Hayley. 'secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce,
Memphis could not afford to accept
this proposition as a substitute for
the present plan of disbursing state
funds for road building, as Shelby coun-
ty now pays one-siXth Of the taxes col

Would Take Chances.

AT present Shelby county receives the
customary county state aid fund of
$25. 900 a year, her pro rata of the one
mill tax and also of the automobile
tax. Under the plan in bill AS, Shelby
county would not receive back road
tax money according to her contribu-
lions, but would have to take chances
in the disbursement of the state high
way fund by the highway commission
Mr.. Hayley does not believe that Mem
phis would get its proper share by the
latter method, and that it has appar-
emily nothing to gain n much to
lose by the state highway system plan.
The blue print of the road projects
included in the new bill gives Mem
phis, or Shelby county, only the north
branch of the jefferson Dayis highway,
the west branch of the jefferson Davis
highway south and the Memphis and
Shiloh park road east, and fails 10
recognize the following important roads;
The Memphis and YazoO Delta high
way, the east branch of the jefferson
Davis highway, the Bankhead highway,
the Muscle Shoals road, the Memphis
ardson's Landing roads.
The legislators who were to attend
the conference are: Senators Frank

Ernest r. Bell, George r. Canale, John
Galella, Joseph Hanover, Carl 4, Lar
sen, c. f. McCalman, John +. Nor

Memphis geographical situation
places the city at a decided disadVan'
tage in the system of county seat roads
proposed by the new bill. There are
| but two county seats to reach directly
Somerville in Fayette, going east, anc
Covington in Upton, going north. The

nizes simply runs south to the county
line in the direction of fernando, Miss

Liberal Insurance Ruling

Discharged service men whs%Rt
their government insurance lapse
were given the privilege of reinstat-
ing their policies within eighteen
months, without payment Of all back
premiums, under an order signed re-
Gently by Secretary Glass.
The new reinstatement regulation,
one of number under consideration
designed to make it possible for ev-
cry discharged soldier, sailor and
marine to continue government insur
ance after return to civil life, is re-
garded as the most liberal ever Of
fered by any insurance organization.
The only requirement is that the
man requesting reinstatement must
be in as good health as at the time
of discharge, and must pay the
premium for the one month of grace
in which his insurance wa scontinu-
ed after he stopped payment and the
premium for the month in which he
requests reinstatement.
Premiums for the intervening
months will not be required.
In a statement issued recently the
Director of the Bureau of War Risk
Insurance said: MANY service men
have been deferred from reinstating
policies because they did not wish to

THOUSANDS OF WOUNDED
GO WITHOUT TRAINING.
10000 Disappear, Ignoring Help at
Hand-VOcatiOnal Schooling And
Pay Await "Truants.''

Almost 10000 wounded soldiers
have disappeared into civilian life
without investigating the many ad-
vantageous opportunities for educa-
tion and special vocational training
provided by the Government in the
Vocational Rehabilitation Act, pass
ed by Congress last year. This intel
ligent and progressive piece of leg
islation provides vocational training
for every soldier wounded in the
war, at the cost of the Federal Gov
ernment. The Government pays the
entire cost of training the soldier
for any trade, business or profession
he may elect that is suited to his ca
pacities and he may take all the time
he needs to master it at the expense
of Uncle Sam. More than this, the
Government pays him a virtual sal
ary during the training period: $65
month for a single man, $75 for a
married man living with his wife,
and $40 month for each child. For
officers, the salary amounts practi-
cally to the last monthly pay in ac-
tive service. In this way the Gov
ernment not only seeks to protect
the boys who have fought and suff-
cred injury, more or less grievous,
in the great war, but to guard them
against sympathy jobs" to. which
the wounded soldier is unfortunately
subject. Merely obtaining job for
soldier is not necessarily benefit
ing him or the community. It may
be only temporary and care must al
ways be taken that a job is one in
which the man will grow.
The Red Cross is cooperating
with the United States Employment
Service in placing discharged soldi-
ers and takes this opportunity to di-
rect the attention of all men eligible
to the generous arrangements thus
provided for them by the Govern
ment.

pay or could not pay the accumu-
lated premiums. The decision per-
mits a man to rehabilitate himself
financially after returning to- civil
life and then take up his insurance
as an investment.
'The reason payment for the
month of grace is required is that
the insured was protected by having
his policy continued in force that
month, and if he had died his de-
pendents would have received the
face of the policy.
Should a lapse again occur, after
the eighteen months from the date
of discharge, reinstatement may be
made, provided such insurance shall
not have lapsed more than one
year. I want to make it clear that
the new ruling does not automatt-
cally reinstate anybody's policy.
every man who allows his policy
to lapse is without protection until
he voluntarily applies for reinstate-
ment, which I strongly urge all men
to do at once, while their physical
condition is such that reinstatement
may be made"
Every Home Service Section
should give widespread publicity to
this regulation and inform returned
men of their rights under the new
ruling
