Representative Osterman of Mer-
rick county. author OF the state hail
insurance law passed in 1917, has a
bill this year to extend the scope
and further inducement to farmers

in the fall after he has harvested and
sold his grain.
Another change made by the bill
is the increase Of the maximum loss
per acre Of $40 to SIS, but in order
to get the higher amount the crop
owner must agree to pay so per cent
extra premium. He can insure for
SO per acre at the old rate if he

ROAD COMMITTEE.
URGES Increased
AUTOMOBILE TAX
Funds Provided for by Friends
and State Governments for
Highways Prove In
sufficient.

Lincoln, Neb.. Jan. 22.-(Special
to The Bee.)-Each member Of the
house and senate received a letter
from the state board Of irrigation,
highways and drainage today, in
which the board urges bill author
izing an increased automobile tax
bill to meet the expense connected
with the Nebraska highway road
work.
While the outlines system only
includes 51z per cent of the roads 10
the state, yet 63 per cent of all the
people live directly on the roads or
in the towns they connect. Seventy
five per cent of the states popula-
ton live on, or within four and a
half miles of this road system. Six
teen hundred miles of roads have
been surveyed; plans and specifica-
tons made for 5o2 miles; contracts
have been left for 2l5 miles at an
aggregate cost Of S52S.678.
Funds Prove insufficient.
After laying out and estimating
the cost of construction on this
road system. the board discovered
the amount available from thepfed-
eral government and the state to be
insufficient to complete the work.
In order to meet the increased ex-
pense, it suggests to increase the au-
tomobiie tax to a minimum of $40
a-year, and graduate the tax on all
automobiles and trucks over 1000
pounds, according to the weight Of
the vehicle. One-fourth of this
money should be placed, into the
road fund and three-fourths INTO the
county fund. in Which it is collected.
