Showalter Program Still
Pends; Hartley Scores in
Bill in House; Senate Passes
ssFarm-to-Market" Bill
By Richard Hamilton

While the Legislature mas eS-
tablished a record for procrastina-
tion, primarily in reference to the
passage of small or private bills,
developments are now nearing the
point where things are bound to
happen. It is certain that most
of the private or local bills will die
in committees, but it is equally
certain that there will be plenty
of difficulties over the Showalter
program for reorganization of the
common schools system, Govern
or Hartley's program for central
lied authority and control, high
ways, appropriations and the pro-
posed excise tax on financial in
stitutions. In fact, there already
is conflict over these questions,
but, so far, most of the trouble has
been kept in the background.
Governor Hartley scored on the
first real test of the session Tues
day when the house passed his
bill for the creation of depart
ment of highways" which would
mean the abolition of the state
highway committee and the GEN.
tralization of highway affairs di-
rectly under the Governor. 1t was
passed by a vote of 81 to 20, show
ing conclusively that Mr.. Hartley
can count on the House to support
his Capitalization program. 1t is
likely that the senate, unless it
becomes involved in a row with
the house, will favor the highway
reorganization bill, too, but not
by the wide margin displayed by
the house.
Probably the most significant
action of this session was taken
Monday when the senate, by vote
of 81 to 9, passed the so-called
"farm to market" road bill. Not
only is the bill of far-reaching inn
portance, but its passage was con-
trary to warning sounded by Mr..
Hartley.
The bill carries a one-cent in
crease in the gasoline tax, which
would increase road revenues by
So, 100, 900 annually at the present
rate of gasoline consumption. 1t
provides that the $2,190,000 a

lined by the county commissioners
to hook up with the state high
way system. The money is to De
apportioned back to the counties
as follows: half of the total to be
divided equally, giving each coun-
ty, irrespective of size, more than
S27 900 to begin with; one-fourth
on the basis of farms and one
fourth on the basis of registered
motor vehicles.
While it is not yet certain as to
the bills full strength in the house,
it is almost certain that it will be
passed by the lower chamber
less, of course, the rules committee
may decide to attempt to hold it
up. But such a course may result
in a fight on the organization, or
a revolt within the house. 1t is
more likely that it will be passed
after being held back so long that
it will be too late to act again if
vetoed by Mr.. Hartley.

More than three hundred children

About fifteen children are brought
to this playground every day, Mrs.
Peacock said, by mothers, who wish
to go shopping, or on other bust

four or five children of one family

JOIN PEANUT HUNT
Two Prizes Given; Ball "Nosing"
Contest Planned.

A peanut hunt for the smaller
children was staged Thursday by
Mrs Maude Dawson. matron, at
Dearborn playground. Peanuts were
hidden in likely places all over the
grounds and two prizes were given,
one for the child with the greatest
number of peanuts and a prize for
the individual whose find was linn
tied to one nut.
A ball rolling contest in which the
contestants noses will be the pro-

the near future. The nose roller
with the greatest distance will win
the prize A snail race will also be

to the goal.
Facilities for drinking water at
this playground are bad, it was
learned this week. A natural spring
is the only water source and in case
of high water in the creek bed
1t is covered. The spring is so stu
ated that when not covered by
creek water it affords an irresistible
temptation for small children to
wade.
