state to take advantage of the as
sistance of federal aid highway
funds to construct roads it must
have an adequate state highway de-
partment to oversee the construc-
ton and to properly maintain the
road after it is constructed.
I'm order for state highway de-
partment to function properly funds
must be provided for the construc-
tion and maintenance of the roads
that are to be built as benefit to
the state at large, and it is believed
perfectly reasonable to expect the
funds to construct and maintain
roads benefitting the people at large
throughout the state to b, furnish
ed by the entire population of the
state, instead of by the local tax
payers Of the county in which this
T state road is located.
"The federal aid highway act rec
ognizes this principle and requires
that when federal aid highway funds
are to be used in constructing a
state road, the states share of the
cost shall be met with funds under
the direct control of the state high
way department and raised by the
citizens of the state, and that the
cost Of maintaining the road after
completion shall be paid from funds
raised by the state"
Defends Cost
Mr. STARTS defended the system in
North Dakota and declared that at
is evident that, in spite Of the unjust
criticisms made by uniformed per-
sons of the method Of construction
of highways by state and federal aid,
the general public and the county
officials realize the economic value
OF the completed roads. The grad
ing and drainage structures, or first
stage construction, are the most per-
manent parts Of the roads construc-
ton if properly built and maintain
ed. The wearing surface of gravel
or scoria is cheap in most instances
in first cost and reasonable in repair
cost. The difference between the
old system of local construction of
main roads and the new system of
construction by state and federal aid
reminds me of the difference be-
tween the living conditions of the
settlers of twenty years ago and
those of the people of North Oak ota
today. Twenty years ago the sod
house was much in evidence and full
filled the requirements for a cheap
place to live while the settler estab-
lished his home and wrested his
living. Today the sod house has
nearly vanished and living quarters
on the farms are often equal to liv-
ing quarters in the cities. Before
the advent of the rapid transit auto
mobile to popular and general use,
the people did not use the roads ex-
cept occasionally and the old sys-
tenn of construction by local author
tiles was satisfactory. Today, in
North Dakota, about one person in

FRAZIER TO BE
DECLAREDDEAD
Veterans Bureau Plans Upon
This Action

Minneapolis March ia report
by the district office here of the
United States Veterans Bureau, de-
charing that Arthur Frazier, mystery
man of the World War is dead, was
on the way to Veterans Bureau head
quarters in Washington, DC. today
At'the same time his brother, Earl
Frazier, of Fort Lookout, S. D., was
at Rochester, Minnesota, checking up
details in the case in the interest of
his parents who contend that a man
named as Arthur Lopez is Arthur
Frazier, although Lopez had confess
ed to Department of Justice officials
that he is not Frazier and then re-
pudiated that confession.
More than score of former men,
bers of "D" Company, the old Ma
tional Guard unit of Rochester, of
which Arthur was member, met at
Rochester yesterday and Lopez talk
ed about days spent lover there
with most of his former "buddies'
who said after the meeting they were
convinced that Lopez is Frazier.
c. D. Hubbard, District Manager
of the Veterans Bureau here, sent
the findings of his office in it's long
investigation of the case, to Wash
ington.
The Federal Grand Jury which
meets here in April will be asked to
investigate the case.

Minneapolis, March 16.-Harry

found beaten to death in yard here
last night.
Three companions of Reineck, with
whom he is alleged by police to have
been drinking earlier in the night,
we're arrested. Reineck was found
in sitting position with his back
against a garage by members of a
gun squad. When officers entered
the house near where Reineck's body
was, found they found George Pc
tiers, Frank Wood and Albert Wells,
all three claiming the place as their
residence. They admitted !, having
entertained Reineck in their rooms
but insisted they knew nothing of
his movements after he left for home

COUNTY
WANTS n. P; TO
EXTEND LINES
Question of Extending South
Branch of Road Is Raised
Again in Fl. Yates

Residents of the vicinity of Fl.
Yates have renewed their hopes
that the Northern Pacific may ex-
tend its line from Cannonball to
Ft. Yates. The Sioux County, Pr
oneer says: According to reports
from various parts in the vicinity
of Fort Yates, thousands of acres
of new land will be broke the COM
ing season, and put into crops.
This means that bigger crops than
ever before will be raised here, if
the weather conditions are favor
able, and unless the crops are dam
aged by hail or by some other in
evitable conditions.
The question will again rise
where are We going to market our
large crops" Unless rails are laid
to Fort Yates before next fall, all
this grain must be hauled to either
Cannon Ball, Mclaughlin or Self
ridge over rough roads. The dis
lance to either Cannon Ball or Nc
Laughlin is about 80 miles, and to
Selfridge about Is miles. If the
railroad was extended to Fort
Yates all this long distance haul
ing would ,be eliminated. Not only
the grain from this vicinity, but
also large share of the grain
from across the river, in Emmons
county, would be marketed here.
Large crops are raised in Emmons
county, and much Of this is hauled
as far rs 30 miles to the closest
market. There is no question but
what Fort Yates would be one of
the best markets in Sioux county.
According to figures available at
the County Treasurer's office, the
N. P. Railroad Co. paid a tax of
$17,285.3O last year on railroad
property in Sioux County. 1922. OF
of this was paid on the usused road
bed.

Stanley r. STARTS, U. S. Bureau
of Roads engineer for North Da-
kota, discussed the principle of fed
eral aid Saturday afternoon.
The Federal Aid System
Mr.. STARTS said in part:
"The Federal Aid Highway Sys-
tenn is divided into two classes, prim-
airy or Interstate highways and sec

ondary or inter-county highways.
The primary highway mileage Of the
state shall not exceed three sevenths
of the total mileage which may re-
ceive federal aid, the balance of fed
eral aid being used on the second
airy or inter-county highways. From
this restriction in the act it may
easily be seen that >the statements
made by uniformed criticisms that
all the federal aid is used for tour
list Cor inter state) roads is untrue,
because the inter-county part of the
system is never less than four
seventies of the mileage upon which
federal aid can be used The act
also provides that not to exceed 60
percent of the federal aid allotted
to any state shall be expended upon
the primary Or entire federal aid
highway system. This prevents the
expenditure of federal aid funds
upon the Interstate Cor so-called
tourist) roads to the neglect Of the
inter-county Cor local interest)
roads.
There is also provision in the act
that only durable types of surface
and kinds of materials shall be
adopted for the federal aid highway
system as will adequately meet the
existing and probable future traffic
requirements. This clause permits
the use of gravel surfacing where
such a type will be adequate for the
traffic conditions, which conditions
appear to be the case in very nearly
all projects of the North Dakota
Highway System.
at has been demonstrated by
competent authorities that if care is
used in selecting the federal aid
highway system, there will be, un-
der average conditions Of population,
at least 50 percent of the popula-
ton of the United States who will
be directly benefited by the con-
struction Of seven percent of the
roads. By directly benefited we
mean that this IS percent of pop
ulation will live within such dis
lance of a primary or secondary
highway that each may use part
OF the federal aid system without
travelling more than maximum dis
lance of about six miles.
The Proposition
ut is perfectly fair proposition
where road is used by only half a
dozen persons of a local community
that the construction and mainten-
ance of this local road should be at
the expense of the county; and
where road is used by the general
population Of several counties, of the
state as whole, and often by the
people of the adjoining states, that
the construction and maintenance of
such state road should be at the ex-
pense of the state with or without
the help of the federal aid highway
funds.
Therefore, the federal aid high
way act requires that, in order for a

These gangs of robbers operated
in North Dakota for almost two
years, They blew banks and robbed
stores with abandon, but finally Of
ficers began picking them off one b.
one. The murder of Devils Lake
policeman was included among the
crimes. Some members of the gang
came fairly close to Bismarck, in the
robbery of a bank at Wing.
Government operatives declare that
there hasn't been professional
burglary in North Dakota since last
August, when the Riley Morrison
gang was broken up in Minot. The
yeggmen now are in flight or in pri-
son, and declared by officers that
they had little to show for their
work, although they took loot valued
at many thousands of dollars. BY
the time they split it up and sold it
at discount, there was little left.
The career OF James Riley, the
governments star witness in the
case here, is declared by officers to
be one of the most unusual in GRIM
inal annals in the Northwest. Riley
testified here that he had served in
prison in Iowa and in South Dako-
ia. Something more than year be-
fore last August he obtained the Lee
farm south of Minot, renting the

unsold, mostly in the north part Of

The small number of quarters to

:, They capitulated first, answering
the demands of Senators w. E. Borah

agreed to discard the time honored
principle of holding members of a
Republican conference bound to mu-
tual action. Instead of reiterating
this we'll known rule, the leaders to-
grther with other members of re-
publican conference, went on record
through resolution which stated
that senators could act precisely as
they wished toward matters of pol
icy.
