MEASURE TO AID
FARMERS FORMED
AT WHITE HOUSE
C.. O. p. Chieftains Perfect
Administration Measure TO
Afford Relief.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3O.-(By A.
PD-The new administration pro
gram for immediate financial relief
to farmers was formulated and per
fected today at a conference be
tween Pres't Harding, Sec'y Wallace
and Is Republican. senators headed
by Sen. Watson. Of Indiana 1t will
he put before congress at once and
pressed with the full force of the
administration
Broadly. the plan brings together
in one administration measure the
approved portion Of various relief
measures already pending i'm con-
gress and contains also provisions to
make the intended relief available
TO the small farmer as well as the
large cattle raisers and grain grow
ers.
The conference was arranged by
Sen Watson who has been making
an active survey Of the question Of
agricultural relief. 1t was preceded
by a series Of conferences between
Sec'y Wallace and department of
agriculture experts Today Pres't
Harding kept his Thanksgiving din
ner waiting while he heard the per-
fected program outlined and gave
his general approval
The plan proposes to utilize the
federal farm loan board as the
agency through which relief is to
be given. The details of the financ-
ing have been practically worked
out The general purpose is larger
and more liberal credits and cheaper
| Interest rates. The opinion Of those
participating in the conference was
that while the war finance corpora
ton had been of great value in allie

agriculture. its loans, because Of GER
tain limitations, did not reach down

. er who needs IT,
StaVc on Mortgages
! The whole subject Of farm relief
work was discussed exhaustively but
the marketing problem was touched
I upon only in a general way. The
general opinion at the conference
was that 10 extend the program now
/ 20 include so complex and much
contToverted subject as coopera-
tive marketing would only serve 20
delay the immediate object OF relief.
( The president was told that the
pressing need was TO provide at once
financial aid 10 thousands Of farm
ers who face mortgage foreclosures
because they are unable TO dispose
OF their cattle and crops without
tremendous losses.
All senators present gave their ap-
proyal 70 the program and pledged
their support for its immediate con
sideration IN congress.

Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-09-22

National movement in 1912, when the most remarkable convention of the kind, perhaps ever held, met in this city and declared that these various Acts of Congress resulting in the es- ,tablishment of this great highway should now be rebuilt from its begin ming, or from Washington and Balti- more west to the Pacific Ocean.
 After two days session of the most enthusiastic character the con vention adjourned but, unfortunately, while it had elected a treasurer, not one dollar was left in the treasury with which to begin the effort to carry out the great and patriotic conception of this great convention.
 We cannot dwell further upon the historic features surrounding it but hasten to a conclusion by saying that today it is completely hard surfaced from the Atlantic Seaboard to the Mississippi at St. Louis. It has now been taken over practically throughout its entire length across this state as the first interstate highway to be built under the late Act of the Missouri legislature. This insures its comple- tion in the near future to Kansas City. Very much of the road between Kan sas City and Los Angeles has already been built, and is in good travelable condition; but, on yesterday began the agitation for completing the road from Kansas City to Los Angeles thru the remaining five of the twelve states at the earliest possible time.
 It will not be very great surprise if the road from Kansas City west, although it comprehends nearly twice the distance of the eastern end of the road, should yet be the first complet- | ed, and in all human probability a very much better road than the east ern end.
 In building the road from Kansas City west it may be just as we'll to state now publicly, as we'll as later, that the agitation will be begun to construct the western two-thirds of the road material known as "Willite. " This is no longer an experiment, but it has been demonstrated over and over in various parts of the country that it is-one of the best, if not the very best road material ever devised or dis covered The road from Kansas Citv west will be uniformly paved twenty feet wide. It is already practically all graded and bridged. There isn't riv- CT or stream on this road between the two oceans that is unbridged. It is the only road you can take at the Mississippi River and reach the At lantic Seaboard over a hard surfaced road. It is the only National road ever established in the history of this coun- try, and will be the first to be com- i pleted.

the rule of courtesy. The call of the open road, the insis- tent beckoning of Nature in all her glory, the urge to pigeon-hole dull care and let the roar of the engine drown your troubles is ever present and ever enjoyable.
 , Rules and road laws are made for the good of everyone. Heed them carefully, have the other fellow heed them, and the constant increase of mo- torists will in no way interfere with your own pleasure.
 Courtesy demands full recognition of the rights of others. Letting the speed demon pass is no reflection on the power of your motor-the open, noisy cut-out may be the exhaust of rattle-trap. The road hog may think he's in hurry, but you'll probably pass him ditched or out O gas a mile CT two down the stretch. Let him go his way. Remember he's only one out of thousand.
 Courtesy demands that you give give right of way give room, give correct signals upon turning, stopping Or reversing. Give, Give, Give, or get bumped.
 The laws Of the various states are
