HIGHWAY BILL
TO DEPRIVE
THE WEST
Townsend Law Will Result in
Curtailment of Appro-
priation.

Major Frank A. Fem, assistant for
Idaho, Washington and Montana. who
is well known in this section where he
resided for many years, has written the
following article relative to the Town
send bill:
Senate bill No. 1909, the so-called
Townsend highway commission bill
now pending in congress, contains a
provision of immense Importance to
Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Wash
ington, one which, if it becomes a
law, will discriminate disastrously
against these states,
The bill provides for national
highway system TO comprise not less
than 2 per centum nor more than 5
per centum of the total highway
mileage actually used as such in any
states as ascertained by the com
mission hereinafter provided for, nor
less than 2 per centum nor more than
4 per ccntum of the total highway
mileage actually used as such in all
the states as ascertained by the com
mission, and affording convenient in
gress to and egress from each state
,it not less than three points and
connecting with highways part of the
national highway system in adjoining
states. Provided, however,
THAT in states in which any por
tion Of the area is held by the United
States as national forest. nationa
park, national monument Indian
reservation, public land, or Other
class of public domain to which title
is held by the United States the
mileage of public roads ascertained
to exist shall be deemed to represent
that proportion of the total. highway
mileage of the state as the area in
the state not held by the United
States forms of the total area Of the
state and credit shall be given those
state in the establishment of the
national highways on the basis of
the total mileage thus indicated in
stead of on the mileage actually as
certained to exist"
This provision of the bill, If it be-
comes law. would discriminate dis
astrously against the states of the
Pacific northwest where road deyel
opment is so urgently needed : and
where every. state and county has
done its very utmost, strained its
credit to the limit and imposed upon
itself the maximum Of direct taxes
in order to improfe its highways
through cooperation which the gen
eral government offered in the fedora
aid road law and its several amend
ments.
The provision quoted would allow Il

MORE LIGHT IN MEXICO

TT is stated unofficially upon the au-
thority of the Mexican Government
that General Banquet, who was killed in
battle the other day while trying to start
new revolution, carried papers which
prove that his adventure was planned
and financed in this country by men who
seek or control valuable concessions in
Mexico.
Banquet was a survivor of the Huerta
regime. He departed from New York a
few weeks ago -agented like a
prima donna. Now his head is being car
ried on a pike in some Of the Mexican
cities. But the efforts of those groups
which have always seemed determined to
involve Mexico and the United States in
war will not end with Blanquet's death.
Carranza has almost run his course.
Even though he suffered for time with
pro-German alterations he has made des
perate efforts to establish stable gov
ernment for the good of the people.
Whoever succeeds him will be far more
friendly toward the United States be-
cause influential opinion in Mexico is
rapidly becoming Pan-American. Blan-
quet and his native supporters aimed to
get in at the turn of the tide. They had
no enlightened program and were COM
mitted to policies of corruption and op-
pressive militarism.
Such Americans as aid Mexican revolu-
tionists have always had one of two pur-
poses. They seek to profit by corrup-
ton or to inspire an annexationist war
spirit in this country. What would we
say if the process were reversed? If
the State Department can obtain the
names Of the Americans found on Blan-
.quet they should be placarded from one
end of the United States to the other

The Nurse Who Stayed Home

WE HAVE hailed with alteration our
w nurses overseas.
And their worthy deeds of valor justly
brought us to our knees;
But there's still another idol - and we
haven't far to roam =
Ills the girl who nursed the old folks and
the babies here at home.
Hers the task to heal the aged or the chill
dren left behind;
Hers the lot to render comfort unto those,
of feeble mind;
Hers to serve in ward and household in this
land from sea to sea-
While her sister nurses served the cause In
winning victory.
And she had no thrill of battle to excite
her to her task
And she had no dream of glory-ah! what
honors could she ask?
1t was naught but simple goodness-love of
home. of life and art
That has kept her at the bedsides in her
vigils with her chart
Oh, the never ending story Of our woman
hood in war!
The impershablc glory that is heralded afar
Here's health to her that ventured far be-
yond the ocean foam,
And double health forever to the nurse
who stayed at home.

A GREAT MANS SHOES

TNHOSE who knew and admired the late
L Colonel Roosevelt have little reason
to feel exalted or reassured as they
appraise the men who have appointed
themselves heirs to the prestige and pur-
poses left by the Sage of Sycamore Hill.
or the originality and independence
and daring that characterized Colonel
Roosevelt his disciples show no trace
Indeed, it seems questionable at times
whether they really knew or understood
their friend and leader.
Clifford Pinchot, for example, after
medtating in the fastness of Pike county,
cries out to the nation to nominate
General Leonard Wood for the presi-
dency because General Wood is presumed
to be representative of the Roosevelt
mind and the Roosevelt manner. But is
General Wood in any respect like Colonel
Roosevelt?
The general is an able man and a good
organizer, and he has the love of mill
tary life and the sort of vocal and pug
nacious Americanism which many people
still believe were minor flaws in the
otherwise remarkable personality of the
President whose friend he was. In the
piping times of peace the nation might
be expected to manifest its high regard
for the Roosevelt tradition by sending
one of the late Presidents closest friends
to the White House. But if he is to be
successful in years that will be hardly
less critical and trying than those that
have just passed, the next President must
have other qualifications than friendship
for Roosevelt and belief in his policies.
Mr.. Pinchot's assertion that President
Wilson will run again shows how woe
fully prophet can deteriorate from lack
of practice. Mr.. Wilson is not likely to
run again unless he is compelled to do
so by lack of available material for the
presidency in his own party.

merchant flags of the Japanese. The
national flag of Japan is the sun flag,

BLARNEY: KANSAS STYLE

"VOU may be assured" said Senator
Curtis, of Kansas, to Miss Alice
Paul, the stormy little leader of all mill
tant suffragists in America, that the
Susan B. Anthony amendment will be
considered and passed almost as soon as
the next session of Congress opens."
There are times when Curtis, of Kan
sas, appears to know what he is talking
about There are times when he doesn't.
This is one of those times. If ever the
Susan B. Anthony amendment passes it
will go through Congress in storm of
oratory that will be weeks long at the
very least. There is pressing business
on the congressional calendar to keep the
House and Senate busy for a month at
least-unless the railroads and all other
branches of the public service are to be
thrown headlong into confusion. Until
the money has been found to run the
government and find jobs for soldiers
suffrage ought to wait.
Curtis, of Kansas, knows this as we'll
as any one else. What we have to Won
der at now lis whether he merely wished
to be polite or whether he was anxious
to get away to an appointment or
whether we are to see something new in
the way of filibuster at the next ses-
ciop

some of our governors, especially re-
cent one. Would there have been any
likelihood of keeping the men out of
politics? Certainly not. The very sug-
gestion is feehl, in idea.
The only way the police can be kept
out Of politics is the way Mayor Blank
enburg did it-by ordering that they
shall do nothing but real police duty
and seeing that the order is obeyed. In
other words, when the people Of Phila-
delphia realize that, after all is said and
done, the primary responsibility for hon
est administration in Office rests with
themselves, and when the laws are i'm
proved and strengthened so as to make
that responsibility effective, it will be
easy to keep the police or any other
officeholders out of perncious political
activity and not before. Patent con-
trivances are purest bunk and Senator
Penrose, probably most of all, knows it.

DRESlDENT WILSON'S trials will not
have ended when he sails home with
an acceptable covenant to a docile and
penitent Congress. There will remain
Burleson.
Burleson continues to loom as an issue
even more important to the Democrats
than the war or the league of nations.
He has been called wrecker, sweat
shopper, SLAYER, tory and incompetent
tyrant. He cannot get along with capi
tai and he cannot get along with labor
Telegraphers, telephone operators and
all the people in the mail service are at
war with him. He is called a peril to
his party and to the Wilson adminstra-
ton. All the newspapers that have sup
ported the President through thick and
thin have Mysteries of rage when they
think of Burleson. They sniff. shuttle,
snarl or screech, according to their va
rious dispositions. To this rising and
overwhelming crescendo of anger the
New York World now adds hymn of
hate that roars and rumbles gloriously to
the very heavens.
Mr.. Burleson is one of the Presidents
best friends. If he has been loyal no.
where else he has been loyal to Mr. Will
son. In mind and manner he is in no
way like his chief. What can be done
about him? That is the question that
the President must face as soon as he
lands, and it is not an easy one for a man
as fixed in his loyalty to his friends as
he is in his sense of duty to the people.

UNCLE JOE IN PORTO RICO

7 TINCLE JOE CANNON'S best friends
would not venture to call him torch
bearer for humanity or an evangel of
progressive thought This Joe of ours is
often trial to rational minds. But
there was touch of hard, middle-west-
ern common sense about his recent
speech to the Porto Ricans that COM
mends him again to a sort of admira-
tion.
Mr.. Cannon reply to the plaintive
demands of Porto Rico for independence
and freedom was almost harsh. He re-
minded the island people that they were
well of-better off perhaps than any
people in the Caribbean. He told them
they would get independence when they
were ready for it and not before. He
manifested testy impatience with the
endless clamor for freedom" that rises
from small peoples who wouldn't know
what to do with absolute political indie
pendence if they had it. And he spoke
solid truth.
If small peoples anywhere in the world
have safe and prosperous time of it
they are on this side of the earth. Porto
Rico and Cuba have blossomed and
grown prosperous. If, under independ-
ent government, Porto Rico should Stun
BILE into trouble or into bad company it
is the United States that would have to
pay with money and sacrifice. Mr.. Can
mons intimation that the politicians
seeking Office and glory had better wait
while longer and until the world set
ties down was timely.
