ASK SPECIAL ELECTION
TO VOTE PARK BONDS
Petitions Are Circulated Asking City
Council to Call Election for No
vember MANY Property
Owners Sign

Petitions to the mayor and city
council asking for a special election
on November for the purpose OF
voting bonds in an amount to be
stipulated by the city administration
to improve and enlarge the two city
parks are being circulated and are
being largely signed by property
owners. The better park movement
was launched by Councillnan-at-
Large W. c. Kruegel, who proposed
at recent meeting of the chamber
of commerce that bonds in the
amount of $4,000 or $4,000 be
voted to improve the two parks. The
chamber voted its unanimous en-
dorsement and appointed a commit
tee to circulate the petitions to the
city administration asking for the
special election. Maynard-Price
post of the American Legion has al
so taken a stand in favor of the
movement and is assisting in circu-
lating the petitions.
Up to Wednesday of this week rs
property owners had signed the pa
pers asking for the special election.
Practically every person solicited at
fixed his signature, at the same time
Voicing his approval of the plan,
and it is believed that in case the
city fathers accede to the request of
the property owners the bonds will
carry by a safe majority.
The voting of the bonds, it is
pointed out, will not entail an added
burden of taxation upon the citizens
but would merely mean the continu>
alton for five or six years longer Of
the tax levy which heretofore has
gone to reduce the old general fund
Indebtedness. which was recently
entirely wiped out
The petitions being circulated are
as follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and the
Members of the City Council:
We, the undersigned, petition
your honorable body to call a spe-
cial election on November 2, 1920,
for the purpose of voting bonds in
tie amount decided proper by your
honorable body, these bonds to be
used for the purpose of charging
and improving the city parks of this
city.

SENATOR HALL EXPLAINS
THE CARLyON ROAD BILL

thereon. In my opinion one of the
best roads made is brick on a con-
crete base of five or more inches,
but it would be impracticable for the
state to build such a system on ac-
count of its high cost, although it
would be permitted under the bill.
Section three provides for the
condemnation of lands necessary for
right-of-way and to get road ma
terial
Section four: In this section the
highway board is required to begin
work in different sections of the
state at approximately the same
time, and to make diligent effort to
complete the system in six years, but
it is not required that any particu-
lar amount shall be built in any one
year. Under the law the highway
board could expend only three mil
lion dollars or less amount during
the biennium of 1921 and 1922, and
in that case could only sell three
million dollars of bonds during that
period.
The law says the system of roads
shall be constructed as soon as prac-
ticable-and that the highway
board shall make diligent effort to
have the system completed in six
years after the taking effect of this
act, and further says bonds to be
issued, dated and sold from time to
time as the work progresses and
further says: that the bonds shall
not be sold for a sum so low as to
make the net interest return to the
purchaser exceed five per cent per
annum.'
I'VE intended that the highway
board should have power to do bust
ness in business way and meet
conditions of labor and material,
and not be held up by any one, and
yet some claim that the bill would
place thirty million dollars of bonds
on the market next year.
THE present labor conditions and
high prices were not our only rea-
son for giving great latitude to the
highway board as to amount of road
to be constructed the first years af-
ter the law went into effect We
we had not built much of this type
of road, our contractors were not
many of them experienced and
equipped for this class of construc-
ton, but if we should build a COM
paratively small amount, the first

CALLED TO REWARD
Mrs. William Batty Succumbed at
Northwest Sanitarium Last Sat
urday-Had Resided at Wa

Mrs. William Batty, for , years
a resident of the Wawawai district,

ments at the Northwest sanitarium

REJECT BID FOR
w. s. c. GRANDSTAND

Plans for the construction of a
commodious grand stand for Rogers
field, the State College athletic sta
dunn, will probably be abandoned
for the present as a result of the alb
normally high cost of construction
work. The associated students OF
the college had estimated the cost
of four sections of the stand at ap-
proximately $4,000, but the low
est bid received on the call for esti-
mates on two sections was approx
mately $4,000 The low bid was
presented by A. Walk of Pullman.
All of the bids were rejected and no
further steps will be taken until an
early meeting of the student group
this fall.

Wants People to Understand the
Measure Before Voting For or
Against 1t ut Election

The feature of the chamber of
commerce luncheon Tuesday was a
discussion of the Carlyon bill by
Senator oliver Hall. Senator Hall
stated that he was not advising any
one to vote for the bill, but that he
wanted everyone to understand the
said that he had not intended to
take any part in the discussion of
the bill. but that it had been so mis-
represented by the Spokesman-Re-
view and other papers in eastern
washington, that he felt compelled
to place the real facts before the
people. In his explanation of the
measure he said, in part:
In my whole legislative expert
ence l never yet saw a bill of such
Importance as the Carlyon bill that
| could not find in it, what to me
seemed just grounds for criticisms
in certain portions of it.
Section one of the bill estab-
fishes system of trunk line roads
under the assumption that it is
necessary to pave the main lines in
order for them to stand the traffic
and that it would be proper and
right to use so per cent of the
money received from auto licenses
for this purpose.
Look at a road map of the state
of Washington and see if it is not a
fairly good system as outlined in
the bill
Section two refers to the type OF
road to be built. 1t has never been
the policy of the road committees of
the legislature to pose as experts on
the construction of roads, but to de-
vote their time to the framing of
laws that would permit the experts
to build roads.
In this section, the legislature
expresses preference for a base of
Portland cement concrete, but wise
ly provides that if the state highway
commissioner shall deem it imprac-
ticable to improve any portion of
any highway herein described by
paving as herein provided the state
highway board may provide for i'm
proving of such portion of the high
way in such manner as in it's judg-
ment will best accommodate travel

The first new wheat to be deliv-
cred to the warehouses in the vicin-
ity of Pullman was taken to the Pa
cific Coast Elevator company's ware
house at Sunshine Monday by T. B.
McMurray. 1t was of the Triplet va
riety, comparatively new wheat,
and was grown on the j. L. Metsker
farm, midway between Sunshine and
Pullman. The yield is approximate
ly 20 sacks per acre, or about As

Tuesday Clarence Hinchliff start
ed delivering new wheat to the

pany's house at Pullman, from the
r S, Booth farm, just east of the
city This wheat is of the club va
riety and the yield is 80 bushels pe
acre
j. R. Critchfield Tuesday began
delivering new Red Hybrid wheat to
the Pacific Coast Elevator COM
pany S warehouse at Busby, just east
of Pullman. Mr., Critchfield esti-
mates that this wheat will yield close
to 40 bushels per acre.
The first bulk grain to be deliv-
cred was taken to the Empire Ele-
vator company Tuesday by Max Hin
richs and Arthur Cole, both farmers
residing west of Pullman. Mr..
Coles wheat was of the Red Hybrid
variety, No. 1873, and yielded about
80 bushels per acre. The Hinrichs
wheat is of the Hybrid 143 variety
and the yield is not yet known.
The wheat market is in decided
ly unsettled state, with sacked wheat
ranging at about $2.10 and bulk
wheat at $2.O2. Quotations on bar
ley and oats are not available, al
though some dealers have requested
quotations from their companies
Harvest operations are fast be-
coming general throughout this dis
trict and it is thought that by the
first of next week all the threshing
outfits will be in the fields. With
harvest wages higher than ever be-
fore in the history of the Palouse
country, help is apparently plentiful
and little difficulty in filling the
crews is predicted.

to prepare for large amounts, they
would be ready to handle the work
economically Concrete road work
does not require expert labor, but
only expert foremen and engineers.
ANY contractor can equip himself
to build roads and all would get ce-
ment at the same price.
Before taking his seat Senator
Hall answered a number of ques-
tons regarding different sections of
the bill and urged every member of
the chamber to study it carefully be-
fore making up his mind how to
vote regarding it.

FOUR ARE FINED FOR
TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
Two State and Two City Cases Heard
Few Days

Four yiolators of the state and
city traffic laws were hailed into
Justice George Henry's court this
week. All pleaded guilty and were
fined in compliance with the pro-
visions of the laws.
William A. Franzen of Spokane, a
driver for the Home Telephone &
Telegraph company, drew a fine of
81 and costs for parking his automo-
bile on the Alder street bridge. l..
r. Dixon was fined the same amount
for the same offense. In both cases
the costs amounted to $3.50.
John Sodorff, who lives on the
Palouse road was arrested by Traf-
fic OFFICER Arthur Henry on a
charge Of speeding and was assessed
fine of $15 and costs. totaling
$3.50.
William Byrd Of near Colfax was
taken in tow by the traffic officer
on IA speeding charge and also paid
SIS and costs.
The drivers are showing more Of
disposition to heed the laws than
previously according to Traffic Of
fieer Henry, and speeders are much
less of a nuisance than a few weeks
ago. Most owners, too, are comply
ing with the head and tail light laws.
