Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, October 19-Supporters
of the Loughborough plan for state
highways estimate that it will be a
means Of paying the bonded indebted
ness of the state within a period Of
fifteen years. This is the plan that
has been adopted and recommended by
tn State Highway Commission, and
which will be submitted to the 1927
Legislature.
1t contemplates that 40 per cent Of
the total revenues derived from auto
mobile. gasoline and motor oil taxes
shall be used by the state in the dis
charge Of road bonds at maturity and
interest on the same. This means
that while the state win not assume
the entire obligation it will, virtually
provide for the payment of bonds and
interest and thereby relieve the coun-
ties. 1t is recommended that $1,000
600 annually be used for this purpose
half of which shall come from Federal
aid. In addition to this, $1,250,000
shall be used for new construction and
the maintenance and $250,OO0 approx
mately, for the maintenance of the
Highway Department. To meet the
objections of counties that have no
bonds, it will be proposed that they
be given preference in the new con
struction. No property tax whatever
is contemplated, it being the purpose
of those who favor this plan, that the
District Improvement System shall he
abandoned.
The natural Increase in the number
of automobiles and the consequent in
crease in revenues will greatly hasten
the process of liquidation.
This is the plan that has been agreed
upon by large commission which has
devoted much time to study Of the
problem 1t is believed that it is the
most fair and equitable of any that
has been proposed. 1t embodies the
best features of other plans and the
experience of those who have devoted
much time to the development of the
highway system.

fused to allow NJ. Kameneff' TO
deliver a report on the economic
situation in Russia. in the name of
the Communist party, declaring that
he no longer represents the views
Of the central committee of the

This rebuff follows the continued
opposition to the majority views on
"Ieninism" expressed by both
Kemeneff and Zinovieff.
The congress adopted a resolu-
ton, proposed by NJ. Kalinin, con-
demning members of the minority
who do not accord with the ma or-
ity views on the Interpretation. of
I.enin's ideas of Communism.
1t is rumored that plans are afoot
for the abolition of the council of

Kameneff is head.
