PAY RAISE FOUGHT
State Employees Salary Bill Devel-
ops Bitter But Small Senate
Opposition


RICHMOND, Va, March The
general appropriation bill was taken
up in the Senate yesterday, and at
once the fight against the increase of
salaries followed The increases We're
first to the smaller employees for
minor amounts, and the members
We're asked to allow these to go
through. Warning was sounded that
the Senate did not expect to fight the
little fellows, but that the heads Of de-
partments were the ones that had no
right to expect increases. Senator
Wickham made reference TO the pres
ence in the Chamber Of the heads of
departments who were at work to
have their pay increased, entering Il
protest against the drive for in
creaSeS."
Senator Buchanan asked what in
creases had been granted when it
was agreed that there should not be
any increases to any of the State en-
ployes. He said he did not propose
to vote to increase the compensation
Of one and not another. He declared
that there was more, or certainly as
much, reason for increasing the pay
of the judges of the State as for ad-
vancing the pay of the heads of de-
partmertS.
The forces for the increase were
well organized. and stood pat in favor
of the demands of the officeholders
for an advance. There were Senators
who opposed the increases, but they
were in a hopeless minority.
What Gov. Byrd may do when the
bin reaches him is not known, but he
stands for more service for the pay al
ready received and for a reduction Of
the force in the State departments,
and as this bill increases the pay, and,
with longer hours, may reduce the
number of employees, he may sit firm
and return the measure to the Legisla-
ture with his bjections-should the
House concur in the action of the
Senate.

Pershing Urges Federal
Roads in Defense Plan

Probably no testimony would carry
more weight as to the Importance OF
good roads in the nations defense
scheme than that of Gen. John J.
Pershing, commander Of the American
forces in the World war and until re-
Gently chief of staff of the United
States army.
Looking over the records, the Amer
lean Automobile association finds that
General Pershing testified before the
senate committee ON post offices and
post roads as follows:
"The country roads will be of ire
mendous value in time of war. The
roads must be relied on to obtain the
needed food supplies"
Ever since the cooperative work be
gan on the building of the federal aid
highways, all roads constructed with
federal funds have been required to
be built so that the culverts and
bridges shall be constructed to meet
the requirements Of the army.

PLANS FOR LEGION
MEETING IN PARIS

Arrangements for holding the ma

Legion in Paris, France, In 1927, on
the tenth anniversary Of the landing
of the A. q. f. on French soil, were
discussed in detail at national head
quarters Of the Legion at indianapolis
recently.
Among those participating in the
conference were National Commander
John r. McQuigg, Commandant a.
Peckoff, official representative of the
French government, and John J..
Wicker, Jr., and Bowman Elder,
member of the American Legion
France convention travel committee.
Commandant Peckoff, who was sent
from France specially to assist in
working out plans for the convention,
bore an official letter of invitation
from Premier Aristide BRAND. The
letter read in part:
american soldiers Of the Great
war, conquerors of st. Mihiel, st.
Quentin and Chateau-T hierry, will
be very welcome on this sacred
pilgrimage to the tombs of their
brothers who died on the field of
honor and are buried on French

reservations for the convention four
months before the convention. Ar
rangements, it was explained, cannot

IMPROVEMENT ON
LINCOLN HIGHWAY

Twelve years ago when the Lincoln
highway was laid out across the con-
tinent, motor vehicle traffic was not a
problem Heavy through passenger
traffic was then foreseen by but few
and interurban freight transportation
was dream.
But the founders of the Lincoln
highway, with a vision of the present
marvellous development of highway
transportation endeavored to set an
example in the routing of the Lincoln
highway by leading 1t around or near,
instead of through large centers along
the line.
This policy, far from meeting with
the approval of the authorities or the
business men of the communities near
the projected route, raised storm of
disapproyal
Every community between New York
and San Francisco near the line Sc
lected for the first transcontinental
highway fought with avidity to have
the route marked to follow through
its main streets-through the heart of
Its downtown district.
In later years, as realinement on the
route became possible and the original
location was slightly revised here and
there in the process Of shortening,
many communities originally incorpor-
ated on the route were by-passed and
in each instance the associations
board was deluged with protestations,
visited by committees and strongly
censured when it held to it's original
policy of missing every community
possible.
1t is difficult to estimate to what ex-
tent the progress of Improvement on
the Lincoln highway has been delayed
in some states through the antagon-
ism or apathy developed in certain
influential centers of population be-
cause the route did not exactly bisect
the buiness communities of such CEN
tiers and pass the doors Of the bust
ness establishments.
1t is interesting to note how the
passage of years and the development
of American highways and highway
transport have changed the municipal
attitude toward through route con-
struction and alinement. There Is
hardly metropolitan center along the
Lincoln highway now which is not
making a strenuous effort to provide
adequate by-passes for the tremen-
dous volume of travel which it is now
recognized should not be allowed to
add to the growing congestion of busy
business streets.
City planning commissions every
where are urging the opening and
broadening of through arteries trav-
ersing the edges rather than the CEN
tiers of metropolitan areas. American
cities have had tendency to CEN
tralize along a first main business
street and later along few such
streets. Few Of them are laid out
with any eye toward decentralization
of traffic and great problem lies be-
fore American communities in taking
steps now to take care of the still
greater coming traffic.

In making the highways safe for
both pedestrians and motorists the
Detroit Automobile club has gone to
first principles and is working from
the ground up. One Of the novel fea-
lures is the courtesy campaign and

courtesy on the road by a felIow-mo-
torist, the iatter's number is taken
and report Of the incident sent to

TNHE empire of AMMAN, which
came into public notice recently
with the death of the emperor
and the coronation Of his young
son as successor, is hardly known
even by name in the West. To some
six million Annamese their emperor
is the greatest of earthly potentates.
They consider him, as the Chinese
consider their emperors, "the son of
Heaven" There is pomp and mag
nificence at the court of this little
known eastern ruler seldom heard
outside fairy tales. It means a great
deal to his subjects, yet In reality the
emperor acts entirely under the SUI
pervision Of an unobtrusive French
resident, for AMMAN is protectorate
Of France.
AMMAN is a long, narrow strip of
land which occupies almost all of the
eastern coast Of French Indo- China
the group Of colonies, territories and
protectorates that forms the south
eastern corner of Asia. 1t is a trop-
ical region lying roughly between the
tenth and twentieth parallels of lati-
tude. From ten to thirty miles back
from the AMMAN coast rise noun
tains giving cooler, more healthful eli
matte conditions. Yet it is the plains
and low hills that support the ciyili-
cation and culture of AMMAN, while
the mountainous regions are given
over to the Mois, who are little above
sayagery.
The origin of the Annamese Is in
doubt. They bear general resem-
blance to the Chinese, but are shorter
and more active. They evidently
came from the North several thou
sand years ago, driving out the CHAINS.
mixed race Of Malays and Hindus,
who had reached high degree of cul-
ture.
AMMAN adjoins Chinese territory on
the north, and for many centuries was
dominated by China. Its civilization
is sort of attenuated Chinese civili-
zation. The family Of the emperor
constitutes the only permanent arts
tocracy. Under its members come the
mandarins who achieve their positions
by civil service examination as in
China, using also the Chinese ''class-
icS /"

The houses are of two kinds. Those
of the less well-to-do are of bamboo

In some cases both roofs and walls
are of thatch. In the better houses
the walls are of wood or brick, the
roofs Of tile. In the village there is
a marked democracy of animal life
not unknown In other parts of the
world. Chickens, dogs, pigs, children,
and grownups, all live together in the
poorer huts. Yet the Annamese are
a clearly people, much given to bath
