Primary Measure
fallon Road Advocate
Urges Approval
of Legislation

Following the passage of the bill
in the legislature making the Lincoln
Highway the primary route across
Nevada, protests were filed by Vic
tory highway people and several
counties also objected.
Upon receipt of the news that the
bill had passed the two houses and
was up to the governor, l. Il. Kent
of this city, who has always been
active in the advancement of the Lin
coin Highway, sent the following tel
egram to the governor:
1.-The writer has in the past and is
now in very close touch with the
officers of the Lincoln Highway Asso-
citation and we assure you that we
have personal knowledge that they
would render additional valuable
financial aid to the state if the Lin
coin Highway were made the primary
road. If you can see your way clear
to sign this bill l assure you that it
would be a great thing for the state
l. H. Kent.
Under date of March 18th, Mr.
Kent received the following letter
from the governor, together with his
veto message attached to the bill:
This will acknowledge your tel
egram of recent date regarding Sen
ate Bill No. las.
Il herewith enclose copy of my
message of disapproval of the bill
which is self explanatory.
In my opinion the purposes OF
the measure are amply served by the
action taken in the last paragraph
of my message, namely the trans
mission of the sentiment of the Leg
islature to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and the Federal Bureau of Pub
lie Roads,
"Yours truly,
-. G. Scrugham, Governor. '
In his veto message he states:
In my opinion, it is not within the
privince of the legislature TO desig
nate either a primary or seoondar.

system that is to be constructed with
federal aid. Such final designation
has been delegated to the secretary
of'agrieulture under the authority Of
the act of congress approved Nov
ember 8, 1921 (42 stats 212) and is
therefore a proper function of the
United States governmental depart
ment."
The governor adds the he is trans
mitting a copy of senate bill las
without comment, to F. II. McDon-
aid. director of the bureau of public
roads, ''in order to express the sen
timent of the legislature to the fed
eral bureau of public roads and the
secretary of agriculture.

NEW CONSTITUTION IS
 UP TEXAS ASSEMBLY,

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. GA con stitutional convention radical changes in state laws and the educational system, reclamation and flood con- trol, alteration of highway laws and relocation of the state prison, arc among the matter that will come be- fore the present Texas legislature, according to statements from leaders of the two branches.
 The attorney general already has prepared a measure for the creation of a new constitution, designed to replace the present one written in 1876.
 Proposed changes in the state tax laws are due to a deficiency in the general revenue fund this year at times amounting to more than two million dollars Many Texas schools may be forced to close early next spring because of the shortage of state funds. An emergency appropri- ation and an increase in state al lotment for the schools are adYo7 cated
 Separation of the state banking and insurance departments has been endorsed by the State Bankers As sociation and other statewide bodies. Flood control measures are advised by Governor Neff, who recently led movement to work out such pro posals.
 There also is some agitation for the presentation of a soldiers bonus measure.

NEW TARIFF HAS LITTLE EFFECT
 CHINA TRADE

SHANGHAI, Jan. 6.--China's trade will be less affected than that of any other country by the new Ameri- can tariff law, according to views expressed in official and commercial circles in Shangh2: The chief ex- ports from China that are affected by the American tariff are egg pro- ducts, peanut and soya bean oil and peanuts and walnuts. These consti ute less than a fifth of China's annual exports to the United States
 The bulk of China's exports to America in aggregate valuation com prises raw cotton, silk, tea, hides, undressed furs, fur skins, carpet woll, wood oil and sausage castings, or about 70 per cent of the country's exports, and these are continued on the free list
 Hair nets, strawbraid, feathers and down. constituting about 10 per cent of China's exports, are said to be admitted under the same scale of duties that obtained under the 1913 tariff.
 The new laws increase from 45 per cent to 55 per cent on manu- factured silk, including pongees, will not materially affect this trade, it is believed, nor is it thought that ad- d1tions in the advalorem duty from 60 per cent to 90 per cent on laces and from 60 to 70 per cent on en- broideries will have much effect in reducing the bulk of these ex- ports.

U. s. MOTOR CARS COULD CARRY POPULATION OF
 COUNTRY AT ONE TIME

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-There are enough motor vehicles in the United States to take the entire population of the country for a ride at the same time, says the Bureau of Public Roads of the Department of Agriculture. At the beginning of 1922 there were Az motor vehicles for each mile of road in the United States.
 One hundred and twenty vehicles per minute was the rate at which motor vehicles passed a bureau ob- serving station on a trunk line high way in Massachusetts, recently. This rate was continued from noon to ten D. m.
 A tourist recently driving through four states was required to buy four different sets of lenses to make his headlights comply with state regula- tions. In this the bureau uses great need for more uniformity in highway regulations.
 Federal aid highways placed under construction in September amounted to 1,1S9 miles.

MOONEY TO RETAIN
POST OFFICE STAFF
PoStmaster-to-Be Sets Ru-
mors of Changes at Rest.
LaudS Executives.

There will be no changes among the
administra tive officials at the Washing
ton city post office when William NJ.
Mooney. chief clerk of the Post Office
Department. assumes the postmaster
ship there May 1.
Mr.. Mooney today definitely set at
rest rumors that upon his assumption of
the postmastership he would make
changes in the higher personnel at the
city post office.
Mr.. Mooney said that the success of
a post office depends upon the work
of the men and officials who actually
handle the mails and supervise its han
ding. and that he could ask for no
greater help than the continued CO.
operation of such men.
Praises His Assistants.
In taking over the leadership of the
Washington city post office he let it
be known today he would count him
self fortunate to have as his assistants
the men already there. notably As
sistant Postmaster Haycock and Super
intendent Of Mails Schooley.
Both of these men, as we'll as the
remainder of the supervisory officials,
have worked their way up.
City Postmaster Chance, whose
resignation becomes effective April
80, when he will enter local business
circles, today began vacation, max
ing Mr.. Haycock acting city postmaster.
master.
Bond Costs 5000.
Owing to the increased business be-
ing done by the Washington city post
office, the bond necessary for the new
postmaster will cost Mr.. Mooney 5000
a year, instead of the $3.50 per year
formerly demanded.
The payment of this increased bond
brings to the fore again the whole
question of bonding the postmaster
in large city, where the postmaster
actually handles little, If any, gov
eminent money.

dark hours last night until rescued
by a Washington city post Office COL

1t was hard to tell which one was
the more surprised, the collector or
the cat.
When the man opened the door to
take out the parcels from the large
section there was the cat reposing
among the letters, perhaps having
been dropped in by some mischievous
boy.
Offlcials said there is a penalty
against dropping other than bona
fide mail into mail boxes. and that all
should be warned against the prac-
tice. There was just bare POSSIBLE

BERLIN, April 9.-Several men
were killed and many wounded when
Lithuanian troops opened fire on a
German mass meeting in Memel Sun
day, according to dispatches received
in Berlin. The Germans, who have
called a general strike, were demon
starting against the wrecking of
a monument to Kaiser William I, and
refused to dispense when the Lith-
uanian police ordered them to go
home.
A state of seige has been declared in
Mcneil, where no civilians are al
lowed in the streets between 8 pm.
and am. Two men who knew
nothing of this were killed by Lith-
uanian policemen Sunday night and a
man and woman seriously wounded.
At the same time that the Lithuan-
ians or communists wrecked the
statue of the first German kaiser
they also destroyed that of Borussia,
PrusSia's patron goddess.
The Germans have called another
meeting in Memel and more trouble
is looked for. They insist that Me-
mel shall be made autonomous and
Mot part of Lithuania. They declare
that they will not call off the gen.
eral strike until the Lithuanian po-
lice and troops have left tha city.

What the school authorities want

of all the civic organizations that

District. The action of the federation
in Withdrawing its representatives
from the school association, it was
pointed out, is a matter with which
the school authorities have no right

pressed over the federation's action.

the body, is at a loss to explain why

Walter Trey, secretary of the school
association, explained that the action
Of the federation does not prejudice
the status of the citizens associations
in their relation to the school body.
He also made it clear that the fedora

Pershing Fauors
Blue Full-Dress
Uniform, in Armv

Gen. Pershing, now on a speaking
tour in the middle west, is expected
to recommend certain changes in
the uniforms of the Army soon after
he returns to the city. The adoption
of the blue uniform of civil war
days fer dress occasions, and the
substitution of the roll collar for
the stiff high collar of the uniform
coat are the principal changes under
consideration. Opinion is about
evenly divided with respect to both
propositions The blue uniform for
full dress is advocated on the ground
or comfort and attractiveness. 1t is
opposed on the ground Of cost and
lack of general utility. Sharp op-
position also has developed against
the proposed roll coat collar as tend
ing to detract from the stiff military
carriage. The high, close-fitting
collar compels the wearer to keep
his head erect. Gen. Pershing will
try to reconcile the differences of
opinion in his report to the Score
tary of War.
