MOORE SAYS
ROAD SHOULD

Governor Visits Grangeville
While Enroute by Automo-
bile to Lewiston and Moscow
Idaho Chief Executive De-
clares Gas Tax Works Well
in Maintenance of Highways

Gov. c. c. Moore is heartily in
favor of the earliest possible COM
pletion of the North and South high
way, and is lending every support
possible to the project This was the
declaration made by Idaho's chief
executive, who was in Grangeville
Saturday afternoon. He said the
highway should be finished as soon as
possible.
The governor was enroute by auto
from Boise to Lewiston and Moscow,
and after luncheon at the Imperial
Saturday noon, spent several hours
visiting his many friends in Grange
vile. Included in the governors party
was his private secretary, Norman
b. Addison, former Grangeville boy.
Governor Moore said in connection
with highway work, that it would be
impossible to start any further new
construction on the North and South
highway, other than projects now I'M

ROAD CONDITION IMPROVED


II found the North and South high
way in much better condition than
when l Travelled over it a year ago"
remarked Governor Moore. The gov
ernOr declared he was pleased with
the work that has been done on the
highway through use of gasoline tax
money Much had been accomplished
with this fund in the way of highway
improvement and maintenance.
1.-THE gasoline tax is yielding the
state much larger revenue than was
anticipated" said Governor Moore.
Il believe that those who use the
highways should pay for them, and
particularly for the maintenance. We
find the gasoline tax a very effectual
means of reaching the tourists from
other states who travel our high
ways"
The Idaho gasoline tax now is 2
cents o gallon, and the governor is in
favor of increasing it to cents, which
increase must be by statute. The
governor believes that an increase of
cent gallon in the gasoline tax
would not Seriously affect drivers of
automobiles and trucks, and yet
would yield 80 percent more revenue
for road maintenance than is now
collected by the state.
REDUCE LICENSE FEES
eff the gasoline tax is raised to
8 cents gallon" said Idaho's chief
executive, present automobile regis
tration fees can be reduced to a point
where the license cost of motor veh
icle will be nOminal-say So for each
car"
The governor believes remedial leg
islation should be enacted that will
guard against damage being done to
the highways by heavily-laden motor
trucks.

PROPOSED R. R. MERGER
Head of Southern Pacific Discloscs Reason for Proposed Grouping of Two Other Lnesi

Tucson, Ariz., July 17.-Speaking here last night, President William sproule, of the Southern Pacific Rail-
 way, gave a resume Of the proposed
 merger of the Southern Pacific and ElPaso and Southwestern Railroads. The reason the merger | is being pushed through by the Southern Pa cifc, NIT. Sproule explained, was that some lime ago, 2 series of tentative groupings Of large railroads through ont the country was made by the in- terstate commerce commission and that the Southern Pacific, the ElPaso and Sothweetern and the Rock Is land system were placed in one of those groups. Confident that these groupings would some day be en- forced by special legislation, the Southern Paeitc company, he said, has anticipated the mo, ement and in order 10 accomplish the merger in q husinesslike and satisfactory way has entered into voluntary negotiations with the ElFsso and Southwestern company 10 do this
 Another reason,r he said. why the Southern Pacific wants to go through with this merger is because il is now competing with railroads that have through line 10 the Great Lakes and middle estern cities 10 the Pacific coast. We too want to be shle to say that our lines extend to Chicago from San Francisco, and this merger and 3 possible merger with 1 1a Enck rslsnd srstep, uiti make it i rosslbls for n to say that"
