The first meeting was held February

COUNTY court FIRM
IN DEMANDING EQUAL
ROAD IMPROVEMENTS
Judge Bushey Suggests Term
Of Construction On PrOpOs-
ed Good Roads Program Be
Shortened

Judge Bushey and the Marion eoun-
ty commissioners are in favor Of spend
ing money for market roads, but they
insist that the money should be spent
equitably.
In letter addressed to T. b. Kay.
chairman of the Marion county good
roads committee, the lcounty court
SAYS: 'Our only aim and suggestion is
to treat each and every section Of the
county fairly ,and not to pave one see.
tion of the county at the expense of
another. In addition to that, TO see
that the county undertakes and prom.
ises no more than we may reasonably
expect to perform. "
Seven Years Too Long
The letter to Mr.. Kay is. in re-.
sponse to a request in which the coun-
ty court was asked to state its posi-
tion more fully in regard to the propos-
ed plan as outlined by the good roads
committee. The letter says: 'lf every
tax payer would share the benefits of
the program equally, it would not be
so bad. But there are many taxpayers
who will not only fail to participate
in the benefits in any appreeiable de-
gree, but are practically deprived from
hoping for anything in the way of di
rect benefits for period of seven
years in the future. y
As the court believes that a wait of
seven years for some localities is too
long, the suggestion is made that the
period of construction be made much
shorter.
so Miles TO Be Improved
The letter states that in addition to
the Pacific highway, paved by the
state, the county has 100 miles of main
travelled highway On a basis Of $l5,-
900 a mile including rOadbed, the cost
would be 81 100000. As to the other
so miles recommended by the good
roads committee, the county court is Of
the opinion the roads are in hilly
country and would require an exhobit.

The claim is made by Italians here
that the pact Of London prevents any
peace being signed without them When
this theory was advanced dunag the
conference which preceoeG gsc italian

publication of the pact preventing a
separate peace could be interpreted as
recognizable only so long as Germany
continued a military menace. Signing

moved this menace and abrogated that
particular section of the secret treaty.

Monotony of Raids and Trials.

There is a monotonous repetition
of daily raids for arms and trials
for sedition and for illegal drilling.
The Sim Feiners, however. show no
any sign of being inundated into
abandoning their activities. They
glorify the rebellion of Easter week,
but, SO far as can be learned, their
idea is that a fresh rebellion would
play into the hands of the govern
whose nerves are set on edge by con-
slant reports of a new revolt.
This week all Ireland has been ex-
cited by the hunt for a mystery ship
carrying arms for the rebels. Half a
dozen innocent vessels were held up
and searched for arms. but none were
found. The most likely explanation
is that an official hearing that arms
were being sent to Ireland jumped
to the conclusion that the consign-
ment must be for Sim Fein. AS a
ment, but it was addressed to and duly
received by the military.
Reports that the government, hav-
ing tried force, was now trying con-
Citation as means of incubating a
home rule scheme find no corrobora-
the chief secretary for Ireland on this
subject. His attitude is exactly the
same as before the war. He has no
hope of acceptance for any plan he
thinks possible. His idea is for mod
crate home rule south and west and
county option for Ulster plan long
ago projected by Redmond. If county
option were to be extended to all Ire
land he thinks-and it is a shrewd
view-that County Clare would reject
home rule because it wants a repub-
lie as readily as County Antrim would
reject it because it wants to stand pat
on the union.

Nobody to Negotiate With.

If the prime minister decides to ne
gotiate for peace in Ireland on the
basis of home rule settlement there
will be nobody to negotiate with. The
mere suspicion that any Irish poll
tician is in negotiation with the gov
eminent would add fresh force to
Sim Fem, which will not negotiate with
anybody. The only people quite sat
isfied with the present state of affairs
are the unionists. Every new appoint
ment to judicial or administrative Of
flee is adding to their grip on the
machinery of government. If home
rule came into force in Ireland to-
morrow they would be the men in
positions of responsibility.
