pirate more money for good roads?
Then get busy. The last legislature
passed bill providing for a bond
issue of two million dollars for the
laying out, surveying and construc-
ton of state highways, providing that
their action was approved by the
voters at the next. election.
Under ordinary circumstances there
would be no doubt of its passage.
This year, with a presidential, a sena-
torial and gubernatorial campaign to
interest the voters, there is danger
that the referendum will go by de-
fault. A blank ballot is equivalent to
vote against the bond issue.
'"The bond issue must carry, and
carry by an overwhelming majority,
in order that the legislature may feel
that the entire state is backing the
road program. The friends of better
highways must carry on campaign

Ask Na1npa Mayor
to Resign Place
G. A. RS Want Loyal American to
Head City Government; De-
nounce Keim's Utterances.

Nampa.-In vigorous, straight from
the shoulder language, members of the
G. A. Hobart Post No. ~, Grand
Army of the Republic, condemned the
attitude of Nampa's mayor as ex-
pressed in his recent speech before
the Nonpartisan league convention,
in their first meeting since the sum-
mer vacation held at the city hall,
Wednesday afternoon After practic-
ally every member of the local post
of Civil war veterans had spoken upon
the subject and developed an unani-
nifty of opinion, the following reso-
lutions were passed without a dis
senting voice:
Whereas, this is the first meeting
of this post since early in June, and
the first opportunity the members
have had to record their protest
against the unpatriotic speech made
by Mayor H. H. Keim during the
state convention of the Nonpartisan
league; therefore, be it resolved:
That we hereby protest in the
name of all that is American and pa
triotic against such utterances.
THAT we denounce the statement
currently attributed to Mayor Keim
that we are living under a penicious
code of laws or government. We
comrades of the G. A. R. placed our
all, which was our lives, on the altar
of our country, to save this 'pernic-
ious government" from being de-
stroyed.
THAT we ask this man Keim to re-
sign from the office of mayor, that
his place may be filled with loyal
American who believes in this gov
eminent.
That we protest against Mayor
Keim or anyone else holding similar
views making any addresses to the
boys and girls of our schools"

by political candidates relative to GER
tain labor questions, making the voice
of labor effective in politics by or
ganized activity in each state.
The federation also made public
letter on the subject of the proposed
amendment sent to the Nebraska state
federation by Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, in which he called attention
to the menace to the rights of labor
alleged to exist in the proposition,

Kansas Industrial
Court Idea.

Westinghouse determined effort

Gently
The proposed amendment to create
the industrial commission, patterned
on the court of industrial relations
act of Kansas, was submitted at the
Nebraska constitutional convention
which ended last March. Since it
was not voted on at that time the
question is to come up for settlement
at the special election this month,
when labor leaders will make every
effort to have it voted down, as evil
denced by the actions of officials here
The text of the proposal is as fol-
lows:
Laws may be enacted providing for
the investigation, submission, and de-
termination of controversies between
employers and employees in any bust
ness or avocation affected with a pub
lie interest, and for the prevention
of unfair business practices and un-
considerable gains in any business or
vocation affecting the public welfare.
can industrial commission may be
created for the purpose of administer
ing such laws, and appeals shall lie
to the supreme court from the final
orders and judgments of such COM
mission"
The first move to defeat the amend
ment was made at the time of the
last convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor held in Montreal,
Quebec, June 7-19, when a resolution
setting forth the objections to the
establishment of such a commission
from the viewpoint of labor was pre-
scented before the convention.
The executive council is endeavor-
ing to make the amendment a lead
ing issue in the nonpartisan political
campaign in Nebraska. This step
appears to be in line with the avowed
purpose of organized labor in the
present political campaign; to ignore
party platforms as such, while cen

like the federal army. whose officers
are trained under federal military in

constitute the first army of reserve.
Back OF the militia, in which service
should be voluntary and partially re-

give enough military training TO keep
young men prepared for the second

The scandal of proiteering in NUM-
ton contracts and in munition wages,
which has disrupted the entire indus
trial organization of the nation could
have been avoided. Upon telegraphic
orders our factories would turn from
peace production to war munitions
with as little confusion and disturbance
as fire drill at school. By the time
our munitions were ready our youns
men could be trained and our regular
army, expanded by enlistment, plus our
state militia similarly expanded. would
be at the front a million strong.
Republican leaders in the house OF
representatives at Washington are to be
congratulated upon their decision to
Kill the Kahn bill that would train ev-
cry young man in this nation TO be a
soldier before he was trained for the
more probable usefulness of making a
living. Universal military service has
no place in this country in time of
peace. We need not waste half bill
lion per annum in the employment of
millions of men in an army which. ac-
cording TO the experience tables of our
history. will not be used in two gem
erations Of men, and we can not afford
the economic waste of devoting fifty
annual crops of young men to military
service for probable war which may
or may not occur in the lifetime of their
children or grandchildren.
