PIEPMEIER TELLS
HIS ROAD POLICY
Declares Construction Type Will
Meet Sectional Requirements.

Jefferson City, July I4.-B. H.
Piepmeier, state highway engineer,
declared tonight there seems to be
lot OF confusion concerning the
types of roads to be constructed. He
said some of the roads may be built
of concrete, others of bituminous
concrete, rock asphalt or brick on
concrete base.
p His statement outlining the policy
Of the commission follows in part:
"The commission will endeavor to
build type OF road on the 1900
miles, which is known as the state
primary system, that will Serve the
needs of traffic. On some sections
the type may be concrete, on other
sections it may be bituminous' con-
crete, or rock asphalt or brick on a
concrete base, or on base that Isl
equivalent in load carrying capacity.
Other sections may be built of
high type gravel, where such mater
ials are suitable and plentiful for the
construction and future upkeep OF the
road. On the heavy travelled federal
primary and state secondary system
of roads the types above referred to
may be constructed. 1t is generally
recognized, however. that $4,000 600
will not build a high type road on
the entire system of 900 miles
designated by the legislature.
"A well-graded and drained earth
road, or wel-bult gravel road
properly maintained will serve many
communities of this state almost as
adequately as high type road will
serve densely populated districts or
heavily travelled thoroughfares."

will send out specialists to this coun-
y, dates will be set for different
towns in the county and the produc-
ers can come to town on that date,
bring heir eggs and have them can

are graded thusly, and how to i'm

Harding Will Veto Bonus.

Washington, July 22.--Opponents
OF the soldier bonus tonight claimed
to have positive assurances from
President Harding that he will veto
any bonus legislation presented to
him.
Acting on the strength OF this a>'-
surance, anti-bonus senators have
lined UP thirty of their colleagues
under pledge to support Harding
veto OF the bill. This would give
bonus supporters but threevote
margin, should it be necessary for
them to make the effort to override
Harding.
The presidential promises to veto
the bill was carried to senators by
three men who today were described
as prominent citizens They, ac-
cording to anti-bonus senator's asked
Harding to tell them how he stood
on the bonus. The story is that
Harding replied:
That he will unhesitatingly veto
any sort of bonus legislation at this
time:
That he will do this because the
treasury is not in condition nor the
taxpayers in any mood to stand the
drain the bonuA would entail. ---------
That he will tell this to anybody
who asked him the question. be the
inquirer senator or plain citizen.
Anti-bonus senators therefore
claimed tonight that the legislation is
dead. Supporters OF the measure re-
ceived the news with smiles, saying
they will pressJ the bill to an early
passage the moment the tariff has
been sent to conference, which it is
now expected, will be mid-August.

These charges against Ford and his

port of the senate agriculture COM
mittee, which voted, 9 to 7, against
accepting his offer. The report was
presented to the senate by Sen.
George w. Norris, Republican OF
Nebraska who led the fight against
Ford in committee.
The enormity of the gift Ford
asked is virtually beyond human con-
ception, the report declared. 1t was
added that acceptance of the Ford
oiicr would have nerited everlasting
condemna tom of congress.
Ford. the report asserted. not only
wanted the property with its water
power potentialities greater than any
project in the world at ''unreas on
able terms," but in addition demand
ed that the government furnish all
the money for its development and
the taxpayers of the country assume
all he risk involved.
