as this one is with really famous char
acters. Statuary Hall could be one of
The inspiring spots in the Capital city.
II could remind the visitor Of the big
gest achievements OF the States. but il
does not.
In the Washington Monument, blocks
Of marble and granite sent and in
scribed by different states give an ex-
Celent idea of the many varieties of one
product that the different sections of the
country yield. Most visitors, however,
have little opportunity TO regard this
interesting collection of stones. From
the monument elevator 1t is possible to
catch a fieeting glance of few state
blocks if you happen TO be near the
sides of the cage. To study the walls
more carefully IL is necessary TO walk
either up or down the 555 foot shaft,
and this is an experience that the
average tourist is willing TO forego.
There are few other vague reminders
of the states in statuary and painting
around the Capitol and other public
buildings. and Congress is, supposedly
| collection of sample products OF the
states Throughout the city. however,
/ there is nothing to give any impression
! Of each state as it actually is-its in
prOducts,and commerce. An exhibit
/ covering these points would be visited
/ and used not only by tourists. but by
/ students business men and Government
/ and foreign representatives.
The project is being shaped up now
/ for Congressional consideration be-
/ cause the time is regarded as favorable.
! The building industry is beginning to
j veer towards normal. and in the time
! taken to have the plan endorsed by
! Congress it is expected that public
! building program could be mapped out
! at reasonable expense.
When Congressman Davis of Min
/ nesota introduced a bill for permanent
! international exposition, in 1919 ne
urged that it would not be hnanclai
| burden either on the Federal treasury
| or On any one state. The idea has al
ways been that Congress was to buy ana
1 donate the land and each state wonid
/ then be at liberty to use its share for
| a building and grounds. The cost OF
| the land would not be great. From zoo
| to 1000 acres would be needed, ac-
| cording to various estimates and plans.
Sites Suggested.
| There are several sites suggested, one
| in Rock Creek Park. and another a
| tract Of 500 acres across the Potomac
| River in Virginia This latter site Is
regarded as especially good. 1t is part
| of the land which was originally IN the
! District and was later ceded back 70
| Virginia Il is already owned by the
government and used by the Depart
ment of Agriculture as an experiment
station. We have been told that the
station needs a larger piece OF land
and would be willing to move. The
Virginia land is near Arlington, the
National Cemetery and commands an
attractive view Of Washington. 1t is
also desirab.e in that it is easily reached
| by street car.
The Rock Creek site is not so acces-

sible. Still another site. near the Capt.
tol. would involve a great deal of pre-
liminaTy work. as whole blocks of old
houses would have to be torn down
The government appropriation would
be needed only TO pay for the land, If
privately owned property were selected.
and TO pay for a small office force to
do the clerical work necessary In de-
veloping the plan. Representative
Davis figured that a board of trustees
composed of the Vice President, ex of
ficio the Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives. ex officio. and four Sen
ators and four Representatives would
manage the project. He proposed that
they give their services without ad-
diuOnal pay. The only appropriation in
his bill was a sum not to exceed $4,000
a year for clerical hire.
The cost OF the buildings would be
decided by each state. and no state
would be urged or compelled to build
at all If it preferred not TO. Each state
is TO be left to itself TO plan its own
building. according to the present
scheme, but the board of trustees and
the Fine Arts Commission would prob
ably pass upon plans TO make sure
that they were practical for the ioca-
LiOH anu liltAl AHty WOut0
ously with the others. This would not
mean that a single style of architec-
ture would be prescribed for the group
of buildings. Each state would be ex
pected to use its own designs. and es-
pecially its own materials OF stone and
wood.
The interior would contain an exhibit
with possibly a library of reference
| books and an assembly hall for meet
ings. he buildings could be musieums
of the states only, with caretakers In
charge, or they could be made still more
useful to business and to the Govern
ment by having a representative from
the state thoroughly familiar with con
ditions there to furnish information
about exhibits and state business and
industry.
Plans for the exposition have always
included other countries. That is. il is
| supposed that an invitation and an offer
of land would be extended to each ma
| ton, as To each state. There is no
doubt that many countries would be
glad TO accept chance to advertise in
| the United States.

GOOD ROADS MEETING.

Will E. Holbein, secretary, and r.
L. Whitcomb, civil engineer, of the
Good Roads Association, with head
quarters at Bismarck, were in the
city several days the first Of the
week in the interests of the good
roads movement and the magazine
Mr.. Holbein edits in the interest Of
roads and motoring generally. A
meeting was held in the Fire Hall
Monday evening" attended by sever
al of our citizens. It was one of
the best road meetings we have held
for several years and the Pioneer
Express believes much good will
result from it.
In explaining the objects of the
North Dakota State Good Roads
Association, Secretary Holbein sta
ted that the objects as outlined in
the constitution and bylaws, was to
PROVIDE for the State Of North Da-
kota statewide system of high
ways, built by the state and federal
governments, and maintained con-
stantly; to provide a county high

TENS having constant maintenance

system. He stated that under pen
ding legislation in Congress where
by the federal government would
insist that each state expecting fed
eral aid it would be absolutely ne
cessary for North Dakota to put
over constitutional amendment
providing for direct state participa-
tion with the federal government
instead of the various counties of
tne state providing the cooperation
in the matter of furnishing great
share of such funds. That the fed

ture deal with county boards but
would deal directly with the State

not have been the case, the parties
to the conference may have felt
justified in refusing the comment
upon this particular phase of the
meeting. However, with the loan
seemingly a settled matter, and the
Equity officials themselves well sat

tion of the negotiations, this is not

been effected in: the Senate, be
tween the advocates of the Penrose-
Fordney tax revision bill and the
so-called insurgents who have been
standing. out for notifications in
the bill, which will insure party
harmony on the matter of perma-
nent tax bill and expedite its enact
ment, Considerable differences of
opinion have existed heretofore as
to the extent of the impending
break in the Republican ranks over
the tax bill but the report is current
that Senator Lodge, the majority
leader, has the situation we'll in
hand. The Republicans are expect
ed to push the bill with all possible
vigor, and thus clear the stage for
consideration of the Fordney tariff
bill. Compromises effected in the
proposed, bill, it is believed, will
meet with the favor Of many of the
minority members and the predic-
tion is being made that the bill will
pass without great opposition.
Senator Smoot is preparing to
stage hard fight for his manufac-
turers sales tax bill, which he is Of
fering as substitute for the pen
ding bill, but sentiment in Congress
seems to be against him and he may
surrender his /, contentious if the
outlook appears hopeless.
Assurances that the emergency
tariff bill would be extended until
the new tariff bill is enacted were
given by Congressman Fordney
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, recently in a statement
before meeting of. western sena-
tors. The Young bill expires by
limitation in November, and it is
held as highly improbable that the
permanent revision bill will have
been enacted by that time. Reso-
lutions extending the emergency
law have already been offered by
Congressman Young of North Da-
kota and Green of Iowa, both mem
bers of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and sentiment generally ia
vors such action.
The Young bill passed early in
the present session, winning sup
port from both parties, and the ex-
tension resolution should command
a safe majority.
According to the Fordney state
rent the bill offered will also carry
;.1o+;sions extending, the dye en-
bargo law.
