BIG ROAD
PROGRAM INVOLVING
MILLIONS, UNDER WAY
Highway Engineer Making Tour
of the State to Lay Founda-
tions for Expenditure Of
Large Sums.

Steps have already been taken to put
Idaho's most ambitious highway con-
struction program into force and effect
and State Highway Engineer Fl. c. AL
len is now in the north preliminary to
actual construction work. This pro-
gram involves the expenditure during
$5,000,000. the largest amount ever in
cluded in biennial budget of this
state for road construction.
Governor Davis has signed both the
two-mill levy bill and the companion
measure authorizing the issuance of
$1,S00,000 in treasury certificates with
which to raise funds Immediately for
good roads. These two acts make cer-
tain the success of the road program
and the highway engineers department
is, therefore, giving it's closest atten-
tion to the details inaugurating it.
Some time longer will be necessary be-
fore all of the details are arranged with
tho government.
SOURCES OF REVENUE.
From the two-mill tax levy between
81, $780, 900 and 100000 will be raised.
This will be augmented by federal aid
money. In addition there is available
for maintenance 100000 bond money,
auto tax receipts of approximately
$50, 900, and $3,000,000 post aid money.
The fund will be used under what Is
known as the state cooperative plan,
whereby the various subdivisions re-
ceive money in proportion.
| The outstanding feature of the en- :
tire program is the 100000 job be-
tween New Meadows and Grangeville
which links up the north and south
highway and removes the barrier which
for years has separated the two Sec
tions of the state and caused sectional
differences and fostered proposals to
i form a new state out of the panhandle
Work has already been started this
spring, 1t is announced, on this road
Crews of men and teams are employed
on 23-mile stretch from Grangeville

TELEGRAPH
COMPANY OFFICERS
FIRED BY BuRLESON
Mackay Group Removed From
Management Because of In
subordination Says Postmas-
ter General; Adams Named.

Washington, March 2a-Postmaster
General Burleson today removed Clar-
ence H. Mackay president, w. w.
Cook, general counsel; William S. Dee
gan, secretary, and the board Of direc-
tors of the Mackay company, operating
the Postal Telegraph & Telephone sys-
tenn. He appointed A. F. Adams to
supersede them in the manag cement.
In relieving the Mackay group from
connection with their company, Burle-
son asserted that they have failed to
carry out the orders and instructions
of the postmaster general and have
conducted themselves before the public
with the open force in such manner as
to affect the interest of the govern
ment"
ALSO "THE OWNERS
Burleson's order also included "the
owners" in his removal from control
and operation.
In further explanation of the case
Burleson issued the following state
ment:
"The order removing Mackay, Cook
and Deegan from the operation of the
Postal company's land lines is made
necessary by the fact that since the
postoffice department refused to grant
that company the compensation asked
by them, these officials have refused
or failed to follow out the instructions
of the department in the management
| of the property; they have failed tosput
into operation promptly the wage scale
and the eight-hour day. In various
ways they have endeavored to embar-
rass and discredit the government op-
Grafton of the wires"
SWORN STATEMENT
'"The reason for the refusal Of the
department to grant the compensation
asked for was the sworn statement sub
mitted to the interstate commerce COM
mission in behalf of the company piac-
ing the net income for 1917 at $117 ,264,
while the sworn statement they made
to the wire control board as basis
for compensation placed the net income
for the same year at $4,4S5,593.
1.-THE value of the plant and equip
ment of the Postal Telegraph company
sworn to in the company's return to
the interstate commerce commission
for 1912, was $1,647.472, but the off,
cials Of the company declined to make
lany statement of valuation to the wire
control board, although repeatedly re-
Quested to do So"

Race on Between Peace, Plumb
er and Poverty for Old World
Rule; Rumania Menaced by
BoIshevik Onslaught Soon.
LENINE TO LOOSE TERROR
WHEN WEATHER IMPROVES
Ebert Regime Destined for
Early Collapse; Situation
Alarms Paris Conferees;
Render Decision Soon.
By FRED S. FERGUSON.

Paris, March 22.-The race between
peace, plunder and poverty is now on
with the advent of spring. The ques-
tion of whether peace, stability and
reconstruction are to prevail during
the coming months, or whether central
Europe. at least, will be convulsed in
a. sanguinary struggle. will soon be
answered.
Bolshevist forces are known to be
concentrating on the Rumanian from
tier, others are facing the Poles, and
by infiltration, striking at the roots of
that newly formed government. The
Rumanians say they have definite in
formation that the Bolsheviki intend
to- strike as soon as the weather be-
comes favorable The Poles are now
involved in constant isolated struggles,
and it is believed to be only a matter
OF time until the full storm breaks.
THE ONLY HARRlERs. "A
Rumania and Poland stand as the
only barriers between the Russian Boil
sheviki and central Europe.
Owing to the shortage of raw ma
terials, and consequent lack of employ
ment, it is said to be question wheth-
er the present Czecho- -Slovak govern
ment survives.
Sooner or later, reports from various
sources indicate the Ebert government
in Germany is likely to fall. Whether
1t is before or after peace is signed
probably is merely q matter of choice.
If the present government is not
willing to make a clean breast of Ger
many's responsibility for the war and
accept the treaty as presented, it is
predicted the radicals will overthrow
it.
WORK BEST ANTIDoTE.
Economic experts and leaders de-
clare chance for people to get back
to work and overcome the habits of
idleness will be the best antidote for
the present unrest
The situation has set every peace
committee here working on practical
ly a day and night schedule. When the
allies insist that the Germans allow
Polish troops who have fought in
France to return to Poland through
Danzig it means they are insisting
not only upon aiding Poland, but saw
ing Germany from the effects of the
bolshevist boomerang launched by the
German militarists.
