VIGOROUSLY PROTEST
HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC
Pullman Joins in General War
Against Heavy Trucks on Soft
Roads-ResolutiOns Adopted

Pullman added it's mite to the gem
eral protest against heavy truck traf-
fic on the public highways during
seasons of the year when the roads
are soft through the adoption, by the
chamber of commerce, of a resolution
declaring in favor of a state law
which would empower the county
commissioners of the various coun-
ties of the state to regulate or stop
heavy traffic at times when the OPP
Grafton of the trucks would result in
unnecessary damage to the roads.
The resolution adopted by the cham
Der, which will be submitted to the
legislators from this district at once,
is as follows:
Whereas, The building and re-
pair of our public roads is an expen-
sive process, entailing upon the tax
payers heavy burden of taxation;
and
Whereas, There seems to be no
adequate provision made by the state
for the protection of our roads from
the destructive wear of heavy auto
mobile trucks, at times when the
roadbeds are soft, either from thaws
or excessive rains; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Pullman
Chamber of Commerce is strongly OPP
posed to and protests against the
running of heavy auto-trucks on our
public roads at such times, and
recommends the enactment of a state
law which will empower boards of
county commissioners to regulate and
prohibit, when necessary, the run
ming of these trucks on our roads
when there is danger of excessive
damage being done to the roads; and
be it further
Resolved, That we appeal to 9th
er commercial clubs and to our rep
resentatiyes in the state legislature
to use their influence and power to
the emu that such a law may be en-
acted"
The Pullman business men have
already taken the initiative in the
matter of saving the public roads
from destruction through heavy traf-
fic and have instructed the whole
salers at Lewiston and Spokane 20
ship their goods by freight at sea-
sons of the year when, the roads are
soft rather than by auto truck. The
Cotton Commercial club, at its last
meeting. adopted resolution sim
liar to that approved by the Pullman
chamber. and the Colfax Commercial
club has also taken action in the
matter

COMMUNITY BUILDING
LOTS ARE PURCHASED
Site OF Burned West and BigeIoW
Second Hand Stores on Main and
Pine Streets Secured

A definite step toward the realiza-
ton OF the plans of the people OF
Pullman and vicinity for an adequate
community and memorial building
was taken this week when the gem
eral committee, headed by A. R. Nc
Claskey purchased two Of the four
lots upon which it is proposed to
erect the building and opened nego-
tiations for the other two. The two
lots already purchased are lots and
I, block 10, Original Town of Pull
man, and facing on Main street. Lot
6 was owned by Dave Froding and
the purchase price is $4,000. Lot I
is the lot Cornering on Main and Pine
and was owned by II. W. Gamble.
The price paid for this lot was
$3.50. Mr.. Gamble has just recent
ly erected gasoline service station
on the property and this will be re-
moved TO the east lot on the prop
erty formerly occupied by the Whit
man Implement building, recently
destroyed by fire. This lot was pur-
chased by Mr.. Gamble from Frank
Maston. Deals are now pending for
the purchase of lots l and 2, one of
which is held by the county and the
other by individuals. The four lots
would give footage of 100X200,
with fronts on three streets, Main,
Pine and Paradise, adequate for a
building that would meet the needs
OF the community for years to come,
1t is believed that the two additional
lots can be secured for approximate
ly $1,000.
From a prospectus and tentative
plans submitted by six competent
architects, the committee has select
ed those of Architect Richardson of
Lewiston. The Lewiston mans
prospectus most nearly conforms to
the ideas of the committee. His
plans were originally arranged to con-
form to the Roth lots on Main street,
which were first considered as a SITE
but will be changed to conform to
the lots which have been secured.
The revised prospectus and plans
will be presented to the chamber OF
commerce next Tuesday for ratifica-
ton. At the same time a full and
detailed report by the general COM
mittee on steps already taken and
plans for the future will be read.
This report will give all the details
of the proposed building and all per-
sons interested are invited to attend
the chamber session to view the
plans and hear the report.
The finance committee, which will
have in charge the details of financ-
ing the enterprise, is composed OF
one member from each of the 30 or
more organizations of the communi-
ty. This committee held prelimi-
nary meeting Monday evening, and
on next Monday evening will adopt
final plans for finacing the structure.
Practically every organization OF
the community, including eight
women's clubs, have already named
their representatives on the financial
committee. and present conditions
indicate that no difficulty will be
encountered in raising sufficient
funds to insure the success of the
enterprise.

THE iron-throated cannon OF ne
i Washington navy yard, breaking
the stiffness of March dawn in 1854
with it's 100 exultant roars over the
repeal of the Missouri compromise,
awakened Lincoln to the great mis-
sion for which his whole life had been
an unconscious preparation. After a
single term in congress- where his crit
icism of the Mexican war in the midst
of that conflict had left him unavail-
able for a second term, and after
providentially failing to obtain the snug
berth of commissioner of the general
land Office. he had retired to his dingy
law Office in Springfield.
The wiping out of the dead line
against the spread of slavery aroused
him from his Indifference to political
questions and drew him from his re-
tirement. II know there is God and
that he hates injustice and slavery"
he said simply to friend. II see the
storm coming. l know his hand Is in
1t. If he has a place and work for
me-and think he has, / believe am

The cannon that called Lincoln to
his duty also was the signal gun that
heralded the birth Of the Republican
party. Joining the new party, he be-

SITUATION ALARMING
Over Situation Which Threatens to
Undermine the Foundations OF
State and Empire.

Berlin--After meeting Of the Ger.
man cabinet, President Ebert issued a
decree prohibiting meetings, process
isons. demonstrations and the publ
cation of periodicals and pamphlets
likely to encourage seditious move
ments.
The government has proclaimed Its
intention to suppress with an iron
hand and unrelenting severity all in.
surrections or attempts to subvert
public order.
Alarming Situation Admitted.
The proclamation admits that the
government has become gravely con.
cerned, owing to the disintegration OF
public morals in Germany, which fact,
II declares, threatens to undermine
the foundations of the state and EN-.
pire"
'ln a time when the nations vital.
ity should be devoted to repairing the
moral, social and economic injuries
inflicted by war; the proclamation
says, "unbridled agitation is attempt.
ing openly to undermine the political
and constitutional foundations on
which the new German republic is To
be erected
THE tenor of the press which is
furthering these malicious endeavors
daily is becoming more plain spoken
and reveals fixed plan by unscru-
pulous elements. who are aiding in the

order. National emergencies demand
that there Vaccinations OF unscru.
pulous and misguided elements be op.
posed with an iron hand.
"The government, therefore. Is de-
termined to undertake that which the
circumstances OF the hour and the pro.
vocation of the foes OF the constitu-
ton make imperative. The govern
ment will proceed with unrelentless
severity against any and every insur-
rection and 1t calls on all organs Of
law and order to carry out the pro-

of the republic
The Majority and Independent So
cialists also sent a deputation TO the
chancellor. informing him that both
parties demand that the government
proceed without fear or favor against
