ADVICE GIVEN TO
STOP BUILDING Of.
R0ADSNOW BYCLUB
EigkwGy Situation is Such
That Delay is Best; Aut0mo-
bile Club Of Southern Cali
foTHiQ GiUcs Reasons.

Advice from Sacramento, ard the
general trend of editorial and public
comment everywhere, point unerring-
ly % the earliest possible cessation
q highway construction in California
until conditions take change for the
better. That this was inevitable was
foreshadowed in the Overwhelming
evidence received from other states
of the union. whore such decision
had already been reached and acted
uRcn.
Tn Automobile Club of Southern
California State Automobile associa-
ticn in urging postponement of road
building at present, did so with the
full knowledge that there was not a
single county in the state which was
not threatened with q serious loss
was continued with. If every county
in California met and decided to 20 on
with the road building at present,
each county 10 get the roads il voted
for and was promised, no more futile
or imrotent action could he taken.
]; is admitted by the highway COM
mission that the money Will not build,
at present. more than from one-half
ties are entitled 10. This admission.
in itself, is an unappealablc verdict
against anY further construction eX-
contracts already signed for, and
maintenance work ia keep present
roads in condition.
ANOTHER FACTOR
But there is another very serious
i Ss.,r tal- nv
consideration by the people of the
of highway work That is, the ever
head expense Of the state highway
commission. A was terselV stated
ifornia nWsp2per, But overhead
being worked cut should be at once
done away with" That is the case
in a nutshell. Just as it was impera-
tive that highway work should be post
poned, so it is Vitally necessary that
state highway commission forces
should he reduced. California has nc
money 70 pay meh for marking
time."trA public office is still d pub
lie trust. If a mandatory, whether
of roads or rifles. shuts down for i
year, 1t does not keep its full force
on the payrolls. That would n9i
be business; that would not be gym
mon sense. The county cannot afford
to ray out n Salaries and wages tnf
money it voted to build highway
with. There is plenty Of work fol
men to do in Southern California. Men
who are doing either manual or office
work. inside or outside detail work
can find employment elsewhere in
other lines. The bureaus Of Labor
and employment are constantly seek.
ing for men in many branches of ser
vice.
NO AYE TO GRLNY
The automobile associations have
Imperial Valley press., 1920-06-07

no axe to grind. no private interest
to further, no friends to reward and
no enemies to punish. They have laid
the evidence and the situation squarely
before the people of the state. They
have asked that the two trunk-llnc
connections be finished. maintenance
work on present roads kept up, and
contracts already signed be completed.
Further than that they have put them
selves on record as opposing, and
public opinion is rallying steadily to
their support.
As d necessary coroliary to such a
poStponement as is planned, the cur
tailment of overhead expense in the
state highway commission follows as
q matter Of course. The state has no
choice. When highway construction
work stops, highway commission work
stops very perceptibly in practically
every branch. When workshops, sal
aries and wages should stop. The
proposal to increase interest rates ir
order to carry on work does not
change, in the slightest degree. the
position taken by the automobile as
sociation. nor does it cheaper by one
penny, the cost Of labor or the price
of materials. Nor does it relieve In
any manner the farm labor or railway
car shortage. 1t merely adds to eX-
horbitant figures for highway con-
srtuction the burden of an increased
interest for the people to provide for,
and affords another example OF in
judicious finance along the iaes of
"robbing Peter to pay Paul. and the
counties would have to increase their
tax leves to meet the bills,
CUT EXPENSES.
Close down the work for the present
and cut down expenses for overhead
outlay in the meantime. That is the
demand voiced by the automobile as
sociations, with the certainty that in
taking this stand they are backed up
by the principles of economy and
prudence, and are keeping in constant
view the best interests and welfare of
each and every county in the state
Of California.

Find Old Relics in Scotland.

Several large caves in Scotland,
which were used as houses couple
of thousand years ago, have been dis
covered. Many relics have been left
in these dwellings. There are weav-
ing combs, whorls and spindles used
by women, enameled brooches, pins
and colored glass armlets with which
they decked themselves. Women's
and children's shoes were also found.
Besides these are household utensils,
wooden dishes and spoons, some lamps
and platters and pottery of various
kinds.
The men left tools and weapons,
plOws, picks and rakeS made of deer
antlers, wheels and carts, harness
mountings and large decorated swords.
Prof. James Carl, who made the dis
cOveries, declares that the Romans
who were once in possession of the
country taught the people to make all
these things.
