Sought by Women.

In anticipation of the session of the
bills to be introduced is being compil-
ed by group of women for the assist
ance of other women voters and men
interested. The League of Women
Voters has planned an extensive pro-
gram.
Appointment of a woman on the
state board of control, on the board
of regents of the University of Min
nesota, and on the state visiting
board, will be asked by the commit
tee on social and industrial conditions
of the Minnesota Federation of Wo-
mems clubs, according to a program
sent out by Mrs. Daniel Coonan, chair
man, to members of the committee.
Stress will be placed on enforcement
of established laws relating to the
welfare of women and children. A
copy of the report and the proposed
program has been sent to Governor
Elect, j. A. O. Preus.
Legislation which the committee
proposes to back includes: An eight
hour day for all industries; increas-
ed appropriations and another inspec-
tor for the bureau of women and chill
dren; increased appropriation for min
imum wage commission;- increase in
minimum wage; increase in the moth
er's pension" or county allowance.
Creation of an interest in social in
surance in case of illness, maternity,
accident, unemployment and old age
are also proposed by the committee

material at cost. The raw materials
are, no doubt, accessible in convenient
propinquity somewhere in the State:
The cement will be needed for the
foundations of the paved ways that
will be laid on the heavily travelled
roads. Those that bear the heaviest
traffic will doubtless be chosen for
paving first. Indeed, some of this
paving has already been laid in anti
cipation of the passage of the amend
mentor example, the paved road
extending from Minneapolis through
Anoka to Elk River and the extension
being built toward St. Cloud.
For the present, of course, most of
the State roads will be graveled high
ways kept in condition by the Highway
Department. Maintenance of these
will be a continuing problem from the
outset, with some sort of patrol sys-
tenn to make it efficient and econ
omical.
The Legislature will need to study
the problem we'll before perfecting
and passing the measure to start the
machinery that will mean so much to
Minnesota, if well operated. Mime

The Blight Of Gold.

Bemidji Pioneer: Would you feel
aggrieved if we were to tell you that
you are chasing death every day in
the year?
But you are-we all are-for this
is a death chasing age in which we
live.
We are rushing through life at too
rapid speed in our efforts to keep
pace with galloping world.
The beacon light which we follow is
glazing, binding, and blighting. 1t
is the light of gold-and more gold.
1t fascinates, and charms, and DEM
oralizes it's victims until manly resis-
tence to it's sinister influences vanish
es in our craving for the inordinate
pleasures which wealth alone can give.
We stunt our bodies, stultify our
minds and peril our souls in our in
satiate greed for more.
The pace we travel is one of mad
ness and the beacon we follow is
lighted by the hand of premature
death.
Life and the power to think and act
were given to US for purpose, but
that purpose was not one destructive
to mind, and body, and soul.
The vitality within our human
frames is limited, and when we strain
it beyond the point of wisdom we
pass the pinnacle of existence and en-
ter upon the decline of life.
By defying the laws of nature we
bring death UNNECESSARILY nearer by
acts wholly our own.
The beacon light is golden, but it
draws us steadily onward and down.

BUILDING THE NEW
ROAD MACHINE

One of the most important and deli
cate tasks that confront the Legisla-
ture is the formulation and enaction
| OF a law carrying into effect the
| Good Roads Amendment.
That amendment is permissive, and
| not mandatory. 1t gives the Legis-
lature the power to build and maintain
a system of State roads on certain
definite routes, to levy special taxes
on motor vehicles and issue bonds if
necessary to finance the work, and to
create the machinery by which all
this is to be done.
In short, the Legislature is to begin
building on the foundations laid by
the Amendment. 1t is to see that the
dollars that come from the automobile
owners of the State are made to do
the best work possible. 1t is to close
the door on opportunities for graft
and extravaganza.
The State of Minnesota is about to
embark on great enterprise whose
output is to be good roads. Is this
enterprise to be well managed so as
to give the biggest and best output
possible with it's resources? Or is it
to give new illustration of the facility
with which public management fails
where private enterprise succeeds?
The Legislature is to shape things
now. 1t is to set up an amplified
Highway Department and endow it
with powers and moneys. One of the
difficulties the road-builders will face
seems likely to be the high prices of
materials, especially of cement. This
suggests the ACCESSIBILITY of moving at
once toward locating and building a
State cement mill to furnish this basic
