!: NEW; HIGHWAY LAW

The new state highway commission. II
as planned by the house of representa-
tives, WIN be decidedly ll ! more z ore repre-;
sentative body, with its: seven men,
bers, one for each congressional dis
trict. 1t may not aaeslon quite 50
easily as would aa4ore e9maaet body,
but the different>sectnhs of:the zstate'
with their divergent interests will pc
better represented. The plan 70 have

Of The commission instead Of having
such duties performed by the engineer
ought to be an improvement. provid-
ing = good business ,admintsseaor can
be had for the position. WHICH may
be possible, although the salary: while
very good as state salaries go, is
hardly sufficient to tempt a business
man of great capacity. =. u. 49,. {; :. :.
Through county initiative the state
as a whole is embarking on many big
undertakings in the way Of road BUILD
ing in which there will be manNaeppor-
tunities to waste money, throughsboth
corruption and ignorance. Numbers
of county delegations from every sec
ton of the State are passing aerstpro-
viding for bond issues for road pur-
poses, and there will soon1be under
way road building projects in: two
thirds of the counties of the state. To
supervise ali Of this work even in a
superficial way, or even to advise and
consult with the county officials hav-
ing charge Of these projects. will be
a big task for the highway engineer
and his corps of assistants; so; that
providing the department with an cx-
ecutive head to take care of the bur-
den of office administration ought to
be a help. :x;E%.
Complaints are numerous about the
difficulty experienced in obtaSn1iag Ii
cense numbers for automobiles: and
while the fault in many instances can
not justly be laid at the door. of the
highway commission. ; still unless
there is Improvement a better method
will have to be devised. AS a matter
Of fact. there is so little relationship
between the licensing of cars. which
properly belongs to the tax department
of the government, and the building OF
roads, that there is no special reason
why such duty should devolve upon
the highway department.
The new highway bill has not yet
become law, having vet to be acted
on by the senate. Until it has passed
the legislative gamut it is impossible
to say what it's provisions will be,
but it is hoped that a good .workabls
law will be the final result.

BUILD BY BONDS.

Taxes are going to be higher TINS
next fall than ever before. Both state
and county taxes have been increased.
There seems hardly any way to get
around the raise in taxes unless the
state is to go backward. There is only
one way that can now be seen by
which the. levy for state: taxes can be
again kept close to its former rate,
and that is the floating Of a bond is
sue sufficient to take care of perma-
nent improvements. Each year the
general assembly has been voting large
sums Of money for the erection of
permanent buildings at the various
kseate colleges. the hospital for the i'll
sane and other institutions. All of
these should be provided for by bond

New York.-Franklin D. Roosevelt
defeated Democratic candidate fol
vice-president, in a statement at his
Hyde Park, N. Y, home, made public
through Democratic national head
quarters here last week that he hoped
that Americans OF all parties will
give wholehearted support to the new
administration in working out prob
lens that confront US.
The result of the election in no
way changes the duty Of this country
to join with the other nations in the
splendid effort to solve international
difficulties, to end militarism, and to
avoid future wars for all time" Mr..
Roosevelt added. "a general awak-
enlng among the voters of the coun.
try as to the need of an immediate
and broad reorganization of the
archaic administrative machinery of
the government and business meth
DDS of the congress afford an oppor-
tuntty to Senator Harding and Gov
Coolidge for constructive leadership.
They occupy strategous position
never in modern times accorded to
an administration, for they combine
3, senate and house."

Dayton, O.-Gov. Cox, looking for
ward to the time he will surrender
his state office in January, announced
that he was considering a trip abroad
early next year to study conditions in
Europe. Meanwhile, he said, he plan
ned to work and rest, leaving here for
the state capitol, then starting for q
hunting trip in Mississippi.
His smile was still apparent and the
mass of kilograms seemed unanimous
in declaring he had made a good
fight"
The governors first act after cleo.
ton day was to send a congratulatory
message to Senator Harding, the pres.
tdent-elect, in which he volunteered
as a citizen" to support the nations
chief executive in whatever emer-
gency might arise"
In an interview the governor said:
Il have not had a chance to travel
much. | began work quite young and
think I'll soon go to Europe to study
conditions there"
The governors voice seemed rather
husky, worse than at any time during
his campaign, and he explained that
it must be due to letdown of the
vocal chords"
The governor divided his time be-
tween his home here and his farm at
Jacksonburg, the place of his birth.
While at the farm he helped the farm
workers husk corn. Mrs. Cox was
with him during the day, and they |
scanned the many messages received |
ut their home.

Students Quit Dances.

Urbana, Hl.-Dances at the Univer-
sity OF Illinois lost all popular favor
among the student body following the
ban placed on the shimmy, the toddle
and other Objectionable forms Of
dancing by the Student Union and
Woman's League. Attendance has
dropped to such an extent that enter
tainment committees are seriously
thinking Of eliminating the affair from
their winter entertainment program.

Start After the Rats.

Rats. which cause considerable los:
to farmers, should be fought consist
emily, says the biological department
of the United States Department OF
Agriculture. Rats reproduce so rapidly
that a spasmodic raid on them is not
lasting. They begin to bear young
when three months old and have six
to ten filters per year with an average
of ten young per litter.
The best method of control is TO
make rat-proof buildings so the pests
cannot get inside and eat. All waste
food should be disposed of so the rats
cannot get it.
Where 1t Is possible, poison should
be given them. and barium carbonate
is satisfactory killer. Traps should
also be kept going as in the past Bait
them with fresh meat, nuts or vege-
tables and they will get the rats.

Charge Wild Man Kills
Off RanCherS' Cattle

Winnemucca, Nev.--A wild
man lives on the Owyhee desert,
a great stretch of bleak, barren
country on the eastern part of
the line between Nevada and
Oregon, according to ranchers.
They said they had seen him
many times, but that no one was
ever able to approach him until
last fall when some riders sur
rounded him and made him talk.
He looked wild. they reported,
and his hair and beard were
long. The men let him go.
Now the ranchmen Of that Sec
ton are complaining that the fell
low Is killing their cattle and
sheep. on which he lives. and
they are requesting the Oregon
authorities to catch him and
look after him.
