BLOW HOLES IN THE BOND BILL.

THE proposed fifty million dollar road bond bill will no
be defeated because the people of this state agaNs
hard-surfaced roads Everybody is for good roads
The bad bond bill will be defeated because of the blow
holes in the proposed constitutional amendment whci
affords many opportunities for high taxation, extrava
gance and neffcency that the people Of the state will pre-
fer to take their time and build slowly rather than saddle
themselves with twenty-five year mortgage for $50 00(
and $4,000, 600 interest
Here are some soft spots in the administration
Proposing the bonds constitutional amendment
is camouagethe bill changes no portion of the funa
mental law, being purely bond measure.
The constitution provides that matters relating to
bonding the state must be voted at general election
If this provision to be complied with the vote would
not be had until 1920, such delay making it impossible
to get all the bonds sold during the Robertson admin.
istration.
The proposed commission is not required to make
any report of ito work. such awarding Of contracts
approval Of claims to anything anybody
Contractors who build portions of the road are not
required to give reasonable protection through main
tenance bonds.
The bill says supervising engineer, may let contracts
to the lowest bidder but later the bill says the commits
sion may reject any and all bids and award contracts to
parties which, in its judgment, will best protect the in
terests Of the state.
The only maintenance provision provided, for
mileage tax telephone, telegraph and railroad lines
within the road zones, is acreage tax abutting
property ranging from eight down. This
tine until otherwise provided by law" 1t is logical to
that the farmer will be the maintenance goat
and the cost Of maintenance increases, increased
acreage taxes abuttng property will be provided by
law. The bill will give the legislature the constitutional
right to create the necessary antenance fund in that
manner.
The bill provides that all bridges Of more than ten
foot span shall be built by the counties Proponents Of
the have argued that counties unable
to stand any part of read building load In
counties the cost of bridge building will exceed the
Of the roads projected.
Permission is given through the bill TO issue all Of
the bonds within four years, thus putting premium
haste in road building is reasonable to anticipate
that the proposed system could be built in ess than nine
years.
Provision is made in the bill for the building of
than twice the of roads that the bond issue
and all federal aid could possibly construct
Money to retire the principal and pay the interest
the bond issue is appropriated from the general
fund prior and superior all other ,ppropria
tons"

MUNICH, Bavaria, Feb. ii.-Kurt Els
ner was asked. few days before tlle
German elections. II Bavaria would play
a preponderant role in Germany.
His reply was to display newspaper
in which his photograph occupied
nearly a Whole page, with the German
ministers in smaller pictures, grouped
around him.
Today Eisner is defeated candidate
for the constituent assembly which will
draft a constitution and form a new
government OF Germany based on the
will OF the people expressed at the polls.
Most Of the German ministers whom he
has attacked have been elected to seats
in this assembly,.
HIS defeat is more eloquent than the
overthrow OF the Liebknecht followers.
Like them, he stood for no compromise
with the old regime. But they were a
party OF violence, and their defeat in
the elections Is a demonstration against
more violence in Germany.
The defeat Of Eisner Is a defeat Of
extreme radicalism, purely as such. 1t
shows the bourgeolsie OF Bavaria still
control, though monarchy is a thing of
the past. Il puts an end to the program
for separation Of Bavaria from the rest
Of Germany for Eisner would have
clashed with those who retain any ties
with men or measures Of the old re-
gime. He was bitterly antagonistlc 10
Ebert and Scheidemann, and his election
would probably have split the constltu-
