THE CARLYON ROAD BILL
1t is almost impossible to imagine
any subject of statewide interest, not
even excepting the prohibition cam
paign of eight years ago. concerning
which there has been so much mis-
representa- ton, balderdash and bum
KUN peddled as that which has GEN.
tered round what is officially known
as Referendum No. 1.-THE Carlyon
Road Bill-under which it is propos-
ed to bond motor vehicle license fees
for the paving of state highways.
The charge that this system of fl
nance will not operate satisfactor-
lily is at complete variance with the
fact that it has already given the
state of California one of the best
highway systems in the Union; that
ii has proved an unqualified success
in Oregon and that it is about to be
put into execution by the state OF
Minnesota with view towards paw
ing 1000 miles of road
Generally speaking, the purpose OF
the bill is to pave system of state
highways by utilizing automobile Ii
cense fees. amounting to about So
100000 year. Viewing the matter
selfishly therefore, the measure
should receive the unqualified sup
port of those who do not own auto
mobiles for they will not be called
upon to meet any part whatever OF
the cost. save in the event of license
fees falling off in a manner that
could not be short of calmitous, while
the tendency is entirely the other
way about.
Those who do not own automobiles
will find it to their interest to sup
port this measure for the simple rea-
sons that their license fees will have
TO be paid in any event. Under the
Carlyon plan upwards Of 1900 miles
of paving will be completed in six

years as compared with the present
system of pay-as-you-go whereby
about sixty miles of paving a year
is finished.
Regardless altogether of any atti-
tude for or against the Carlyon plan.
one thing is absolutely certain and
that is that the state highway sys-
tenn is going to be constructed and
paved sooner or later. This work has
been going on by dribbles for years
past and it can continue that way
for years to come if necessary. The
fact that Whatcom county has an ex-
cellent road system has no bearing
whatever on the situation. The state
road system will be built and, If
these automobile license fees are not
used to defray the cost. it will be met
by general taxation towards which
Whatcom County-with its fine road
system to the contrary notwithstand-
ing-will be compelled to contribute
a very generous share.
And that is the case in nutshell.
The state road system will be com
pleted by general taxation over a per-
iod of twenty or thirty years; or it
will be completed under the Carlyor.
plan by the application of motor We
hicle licenses in approximately six
years. The voter, whether he owns
an automobile or otherwise, may
state which of these two methods he
prefers and no amount of verbiage
and sophistry and camoufage can
change the facts one iota.

cal dancing as provided by the high
school deans association rules.
First. remember these don'ts:
Don't melt into your partners
arms, girls; don't wriggle; don't
writhe. Don't indulge in that Ian

Now take your ruler and measure
yourself off about six or seven inches
from your mariner. Scale your bodies
with your compass 10 see that they
are exactly parallel from head to foot.
Then. quoting the deans rules again:
Leader places his right hand lightly

degrees from his body, his left hand
extended. palm up. and clasps his
partners right hand.
Partners left hand rests lightly

NEW YORK.-Night had fallen over
~ the ranges of forested hills which
extend through the Palisades Inter-
state Park of New York and New Jer-
sey. The lakes lying at their feet
were swathed with dense mist while
the tree tops cut sharply into low
masses of clouds.
Ten large encampments, housing
over 1000 boy scouts, lay buried in
silence.
Suddenly at midnight word flew TO
headquarters that out in the great
woods-somewhere- boy was lost.
A youngster tenderfOot from the big
metropolis had strayed from his own
campfire and no trace of him had been
found
As quickly as the word had come
so rapidly it sped by motor cars. with
motor boats pulsing their way flash

darkened tents fifteen hundred odd

mo Sportsman" Is Verdict on the German

SportSmen of all kinds, whether or
not interested in racing, are concerned
in this action. The sportsman is the
gentleman of sports. He plays fair
He is good winner and better loser.
"All men are equal on the turf and
under IT."
The racing sportsmen of England
and Belgium have served notice on
the German that by their standards
he is no sportsman.
This action will be a crushing blow
to the horse breeding activities of Ger
many, Austro-Hungary, Bulgaria and
Turkey. Thoroughbred sires, most Of
them of English lineage, were the
foundation of the great army and rae
ing studs developed by Germany and
Austro-Hungary. The best were none
too good in the establishment of a type
of general purpose horse
The English Derby winners, Ard
Patrick and Galtee Moore, each cost
$4,000, and were among the fine sires
that were available to farmers and
breeders at a nominal fee.
Germany maintained racing on
more or less pretentious scale during
the war and there was no let up in
breeding.

in charming frocks the hustle line of
the eighties, is very becoming TO GER
tain small and slender types OF wom-

however is somewhat less in America

frocks the lines seem 10 be even

in some models. but this tendency is
less noticeable this season than last.
Many suits are simple and rather
strictly tailored, while others made Of

elaborated with embroidery and really
belong in the class OF afternoon cos

two types-the short. square, free
