For the Affirmative

G. M. Babcock, Commissioner of
Highways for the state, was intro
duced and spoke in part as follows:
Directors to Amendment No. 1
give too much attention to the ques-
tion of spending the money when the
of the funds. It is question of what
kind of taxes to impose so as to pro-
vide the money for building neces-
sary roads, and unless I can show
that the plan proposed is benefit,
then vote against it in November, but
if can show that it is a benefit, then
support it and vote for it.
There is not one word in the
amendment about hard-surface roads,
and if the amendment is passed the
kind of roads will be built which con-
ditions Of the traffic demand. In
many sections of the state where
gravel is easily available and meets
the requirements, gravel roads will
be built, but where conditions de-
mand other kinds of surfacing and
/
be met.
This system and plan, as embraced
in the pending constitutional amend
ment, provides for the creation and
establishment of a trunk highway
system of approximately 1000 miles
of roads reaching into all parts of
the State, connecting every county
seat and important city and village
with every other county seat and i'm
portant city and village in the State.
1t provides that this system shall be
/ located, constructed, reconstructed,
! improved and forever maintained as
public highways by the State of Min
nesota.
Mr.. Ronning has questioned the
! figures in the table printed in the
little Ieaf1et showing the amounts
available from bonds and to pay
bonds, but would ask him to study
! it over again, and I would ask you to
take copies of the leaf1et and look
it over for yourself. You will find
that it has been figured out correct
ly.
Mr. Ronning has stated that we
have no assurance of the continual
ton of federal aid OF course we
cannot say what congress will do
but congress has already appropriated
for 1921, and the question of further
appropriations will be handled by the

MORRIS DEFEATS CHOKIO
In CLOSE GAME SUNDAY
Buttell, Pitcher for Norris, Star in
Game Resulting in a Score of
4 to l

The baseball game between Cho-
kio and Morris at the fair grounds
last Sunday resulted in the defeat Of
Chokio with a score of to 1.
The game was particularly in
teresting, because of the good show
ing of both teams, and the closeness
of the score.
The Brophy brothers battery did
fine work, altho Jack Brophy was hit
hard at times, and was saved from
being scored only by the fine catch
ing of his brother, who tagged three
men out at the plate. 1t was due to
the work of the Brophy brothers that
Chokio made it's one tally and their
success in this was due in part to
two errors on the part of the Morris
fielders.
The twirling of Pitcher Buttell was
of the highest order, and he had Cho-
kio at his mercy at all times.
The attendance at the game was
good, and the spectators at times all
too eager to see the plays ,interfer-
ring with the players. At the next
game, a wire is to be put up, and
the onlookers will be required to
keep back of this, so as not to OBJ
scure the view of others. The
grounds are also to be put in better
shape.
The lineup and score were as fol-
lows:

DISPUTED WITH COURT
When the Arguments in Alien Depor-
tation Cases Were Heard.

Boston, May s.-A comparison of
under-cover informants of the depart
ment of justice and postofiice inspec-
tors made by Assistant United States
Attorney Lewis Goldberg in the course
of closing arguments in the federal
court to-day in opposition to the re-
lease of a group of alien radicals who
have been ordered deported, caused an
exchange of views between him and
Judge George W. Anderson, who is
presiding.
Attorney Goldberg had referred to
the closing arguments which were
made in behalf of the aliens Thursday
by their counsel as 50 chanting of hate
against the encouragement" This, he
said, he did not propose to dignity with
a reply. Mention of the activities of
under-cover informants, the prosecutor
continued, had been made to gain the
plaudits of the mob.
He went on to compare their work
with that Of ~postofiice inspectors, when
Judge Anderson interrupted. Il can
not remain silent" said tile court,
when such a statement is made about
p~ostofiiee inspectors. My respect is
substantial for many of them, and ]
regard them as men of honor"
Attorney Goldberg turned to the
court and said that he should dislike
to think that by silence the court
might also be regarded as having as
sented to some of the attacks On gov
eminent officials which were made here
Thursday"
The government counsel denied that
under-eover information had been used
in the anti-radieal campaign in New
England and said there had been no
stimulating of meetings by communist
groups in this section, Referring TO
a charge made during the hearing that
government agents may have dismissed
certain radical literature 20 discredit
the communists, Mr.. Goldberg declared
that evidence included admissions that
the literature was issued by the com
munist party.
Attorney Goldberg maintained that
the modified rule regarding the right
to counsel Of persons subject to depor-
tation which was in effect from Jan.
| to Jan. q had existed for years in
the department of immigration, and
that no advantage was taken OF the
absence of Secretary of Labor VIII
son from Washington to have il sub
stituted for another rule which might
be regarded as more liberal to persons
under charges.

INVITED TO "YDD DEDICATION.
Commander Evangeline Booth and Miss
Irene Mcintyre.

Boston, May S.-Commander Evan
gel;ne Booth and Miss Irene Mcintyre
OF the Salvation Army will be invited
to attend the opening of the new "YD'
club house in Boston. sometime in June,
according to Major General Clarence
r. Edwards, commander of the north
eastern district of the United States
army, and fighting leader of the yam
kee division" in France.
The date for rhe opening of the'elub
house has not yet been definitely de-
termined upon and it had been hoped
that this might be observed sometime
during the week OF May 10 in order
that Commander Booth and Miss Nc
Intyre could be in Boston while the
1920 home service appeal of the Sal
walton Army was under way.
Both Commander Booth and Miss
MCINTYRE, the latter particularly, are
very well known among the "YD" men,
as Miss Mcintyre had baked thousands
OF doughnuts overseas for the men OF
New England and served under par
ticslarly strenuous circumstances. Just
a year ago she won a special recogni-
ton on Boston Common from Major
General Edwards, who decorated her
with the distinguished service cross.
Major General Edwards heartily en-
dorsed the appeal when he referred TO
the service OF the Salvation Army
overseas and recalled hat not only had
It accomplished a splendid job in
France but is filing an equally capa-
bic one here and, therefore, merits the
help of generous people. Charity"
