Concerning That Bad Road

A man was over from Auburn one
day this week and happened to drop
into local store. This man, by the
way, operates an automobile and no.
ticing the scribe, undertook to severely
criticise the condition of the HALLOWEEN
streets. especially the road bed be-
tween the old post office to the Angus
ia line Yes sir, he went at it ham,
mer and tongs. After while the pro-
rictor of the store, who had been a
silent listener modestly stepped from
behind the counter and exclaimed al
right, Mr.. travelling man and owner or
powerful car. let yours be the first
contribution. If l came from Auburn
and ! knew that the twin cities main
tanned such a thoroughfare as exists
between the suare in Lewiston and the
other side of Auburn bridge. Id be
hanged if I'd say much about the roads
in a small city like Hallowell." This
episode is only one of many that comes
our way. Truly our highways are not
what we wish they were. And this
one in particular is bad. We have not
had the state and Federal aid that we
should have and it is mighty hard
work for a community like ours to
keep in perfect repair. State High
way for out-of-tow motorists to con-
tinualy tear up. 1t is however. I'M
derstood that in the near future the
State Highway Commission are going
to give some attention to Hallowell
and assist in putting this stretch Of
road in decent condition. Whatever
you think about It just give some con-
sderation to both sides of the case and
hesitate bit before you too freely
comment on the local authorities.

Hot Fight Over
Dye Schedule
in Senate Sessions

! Washington, June 1-Running a
| minute beyond the time set for quit
ting. the Senate brought its night
session to close tonight in consid-
| cradle disorder Much of the after
| dinner session was devoted to heated
debate on the various phases of the
dye schedule which. as had been
predicted, developed into one of the
bitterest fights on the tariff measure.
The interchange between senators
holding opposing views on proposed
imports on dyes became more point
ed as the evening session progressed
and in the last minutes a personal
encounter between Senator McCum-
Der, Republican, North Dakota in
charge of the tariff bill and Senator
Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas was
narrowly averted.
Advancing to the center aisle to
meet each other, the senator's found
Senator King Democrat, Utah,
standing between them.
Meantime there was a general
hubbub on the floor. Finally an
agreement to recess until tomorrow
wa sreached, Senator Robinson
agreening at the request of Senator
Curtis. Republican, Kansas, to with
draw his motion for adjournme Mt SO
that recess might be taken.
The disagreement between Scna-
tors McCumber and Robinson arose
over the qeustion of the Senate quits
ting until tomorrow. Democratic
senators desired that the session be
ended without a vote on the brick
schedule, which was taken UP after
one vote on the dye duties. as some
of them wanted to discuss it further.
Senator McCumber said he thought a
vote could be obtained tonight.
A point of no quorum was made.
and after a roll call disclosed that
only Al senator's were present, the
sergeant at arms was directed to
bring in absentees. The second roll
call showed IS present and Senator
Robinson moved to adjourn declar-
ing that unless Senator McCumber
would agree that the Senate end Its
right session there would be no more
unanimous consent agreements for
recesses from day to DAY.
