BLAME FOR ENGLAND
Karl Rodek Finds Fault With Policy
 Toward Russia
By Associated Press

Moscow, September 23.-England by breaking off negotiations with Leo
 kameneff, the former Russian tra6o commissioner in London. has lost an opportunity to play the leading role in. world politics, says Karl Radek. raaI cal leader.
 The political scepter has fallen from the hands of Lloyd George, from the hands of England" he asserts in an ar- ticle in the Isvestia
 Trade relations with soviet Russia would nave represented for England a victory won over French and America, imperialism over French imperialism. because French creditors would have been obliged to allow the gold which the French capitalists consider thai. property to pass into English coffers over American imperialism, because the English government would receive supplies and raw materials not under the control of American monopolies
 TO realize this victory it was neces- sary to establish politiacl peace wiz, soviet Russia
 The breaking off of diplomatic ne- sotiatlons means that the political ini- tiative passes into the hands of France  Radek continued. "Simultaneously the republican party of the Unitel States and its presidential candidats, Harding, have declared in favor of the recognition of soviet Russia, demon strating that American capital intends to put England in the second place by beginning trade relations with Russia and cutting off England's only non American source of oil supply"
 Radek concludes the article by say ing that the action of the British gov ernment was induced not so much by the defeats of the red army as by the V ctories of the communist idea" in London and Warsaw "The English government has concluded that we are too strong to be further strengthened ty official recognition and diplomatic pourparleurs, and it is too week to to- crate in London political representa- tives of soviet Russia" he added
 The voice of soviet Russia has been stifled in London. but it will be heard not only in London, but among the mil lions of workers in the east"

The program of construction
which has been laid out in this
bill will require at least ten to
fifteen years for it's ultimate
completion, even though future
Legislatures furnish sufficient
revenues for that purpose, and
counties which repudiate their
present agreements or promises
with this office in regard to
projects which are now under
way or which will be under way
by July 1st, 1920, will be in
grave danger of not only losing
their Federal money which have
been set aside for them, but
perchance may postpone the
construction of certain projects
until years in the future. For
these reasons, it is very necces-
sary that contemplated improve
ments which have been under
way for some time be handled as
if no road bill had been enacted.
One of the provisions of para
graph Ii relates to those count
les that desire to anticipate the
construction of primary roads
that cross their country and
reads as follows:
If any county desires to con-
struct any part of any primary
road before the state may con-

and as this Office has been advis.
ed that a great deal Of confusion
exists in our state at the present
time relative to some of the pro-
visions of this law, l am taking
the liberty of explaining the
high points" of same for your
information. l trust by now you
have received a copy of this law
and have carefully digested its
requirements.
One of the main features of
the new law is that a non-salar-
led, Bipartisan Board, consist
ing Of four members, two from
each of the dominant political
parties of our State, constitutes a
STATE HIGHWAY COM
MISSION" its members to be
representative business men of
Kentucky who are Well acquaint-
ed with the State as a whole
and who are to be not less than
thirty years of age. This Com
mission in turn selects the Estate
Highway Engineer" who will be
the executive head of the depart
ment and whose acts will need
to be approved or disapproved by
the Commissioners.
The new law has designated a
system of State Highways, in
which is embraced about $500
miles of road, of which, at the
present time, about 900 miles
have been improved under the
State Aid plan. This system is
designated in the new law by
Project numbers and gives to
The Adair County news., 1920-04-07

each county at least one trunk
line system built and maintained
under State supervision.
Two of the most important
provisions of this new law. as
relate to our present program
are in paragraph 8 and paragraph
II of the new law. One of the
provisions of paragraph 8 relat-
ing to county appropriations,
donations, subscriptions and
gifts on either State or Fedral
Aid projects now under cor
struction or which are being sur
veyed and planned for reads
as follows: ''The said State
Highway Commission shall as
certain all gifts donations or
appropriations which have here.
tofore been made or promised
by any person, corporation,
county or municipality in aid of
the construction of any road
known as a State Aid or State
and Federal Aid road, where
such gift. donated or appropria.
ton has not been completed, and
said gifts donations or approp-
riations, or any promise thereof
shall be binding and of full
effect the same as when made,
and nothing in this act shall be
construed to affect the validity
thereof. /"
This provision clearly sets
forth that no reimbursement |
will be made on projects of this
character which have already
been financed or which will be
financed under past promise
until July LIST, 1920.

ASSAILANT
Walter E. Dunn and Bud Taylor
Wounded in West Side ARRAY
at Madison

Walter e. Dunn, an employee of the
Northwestern road, and Bud Taylor
of Madison were wounded in a shoot
ing fray which occurred near the in
tersection of Murray and Regent
streets shortly after 1880 Saturday
night.
Dunn received a bullet in his right
arm and Taylor was shot in the back.
Neither of them is in a serious con-
dition is the latest report.
A third man, believed to be a res
ident of the Italian district, is being
sought by the police. The affair was.
reported to Patrolman Bakken after
midnight. He found Taylor at his
home but the latter refused to say
word concerning the shooting. Dunn,
it is said was taken to some house
on West Washington avenue.
Nothing had been learned of the
identity of the assailant or the mo-
tives for the shooting at the police
station up to an early hour Sunday
morning. An investigation will prob
ably be started soon.
