Rock Island Argus

washington, d. c., Oct 22.-Ev-
s-v down-state county in Illinois
w,u be vitality affected by the fed
eral good roads bill which is ex-
,ected to be reported to the house
during the next week by the con-
torrance committee, after dead
,ock of several months.
The confereas have agreed, it is
| understood, on an appropriation of
SIT. 900, 900 to be apportioned among
| the states for the construction of
good roads, the government agree
ing to pay up to 80 per cent of the
cost OF the federal aid roads con-
structed- Illinois share under the
nending bill is about $3,350,000
Six months ago Illinois exhausted
fhe federal funds allotted under the
acts of July, 1916, and February,
1919, amounting to s12,000,000. A
report filed Oct. l with the bureau
of roads Of the department of ag-
riculture showed that federal aid
roads estimated to cost 81 49,, 00G
are now under construction. The
federal government is paying 3d.
s62. 900 or about AZ per cent of the
cost of building these roads.
Records on file in Washington
show that the bureau of roads has
approved road building projects in
Illinoig for the expenditure of SILL
S07 900 of the federal allotment. The
balance of about 5000, 900 will be
70 h. r
counts, so that for all practical
purposes the state will receive no
further road funds from the federal
government until the bill now pend
ing in congress becomes a law.
Representative Allen F. Moore,
Monticello, is the Illinois member
of the roads committee of the house.
He is an aS=15ate of the pending
bill, known as the Phipps-Dowell
bill, and is hopeful that it will be
favorably considered in the house
within the next few days.
State Treasurer Ed Miller re-
turned to his home in East ST.
Louis today after stopping off at
Washington en- route from New
York City. where he made inQuir-
les. concerning the condition of the
bond market. I'VE are preparing
to issue five or six million dollars
in road bonds under the 100000, 900
authorization voted by the people
Of the state before the war" Mr..
Miller stated.
81 am a member of the commits
sion consisting of the governor and
the secretary of state, in addition
to myself, which is charged with
issuing the bonds authorized as
rapidly as funds are needed for
carrying on the road construction
work 1 made the trip to New York
in an unofficial capacity merely TO
acquaint myself with conditions in
the bond market. The commission
OF which | am a member will soon
be called upon to receive bids from
banking houses who wish to market
the Illinois bonds"

Russians Becoming
Most Expert Graft

Moscow, Nov. 4-(By a STAFF Cor
respondent Of The Associated Press
Goods acquired by the government
when it took over all property have
been dissipated to a very great extent
and probably constitute a consdera-
BILE part of the material offered On
the local street markets.
The Bolshevists confiscated the
stocks of merchants and the contents
of offices and residences and stored
them in government houses which
have been named loot houses" by
the non-Communlst public.
These stocks were drawn on very
heavily by the army and for other
government purposes. But they also
proved a gold mine for dishonest Of
ficials. and the dearth of all sorts Of
small articles IN these houses indi-
Gates that pilfering has been pretty
general.
Concert pianos. gigantic divans,
Immense bedroom suites and ward
robes abound, but fiat silver, table
linen, small rugs and other household
articles which guards could carry are
lacking. When the American Relief
Administration opened up the houses
where its personnel lives the govern
ment was to supply all furnishings
under the food agreement.
1t was with greatest difficulty that
enough dishes were found in the loot
houses" for the use of the Americans
and although assurances were given
that the government stores would
yield plenty of table silver. the relief
workers were obliged to use timed
iron spoons. Repeated searches were
made in warehouses where silver was
listed, but it was always missing.
Many old-time Russians who are
employed by the American Relief Ad-
ministration have recognized pieces
of their own furniture in the lot sup
Piled to the American Relief Admin
istration houses by the government.
Many of the better pictures from
private houses have been put into
galleries in Moscow and Petrograd.
Old furniture and tapestries have
also been saved for museums IN
many cases. but the great mass OF
conf1scated furniture and carpets has
gone into government Offices of resi-
dences of government officials.
The property of foreigners was
treated the same as that Of Russians
