b the Associated Press.
Congress sent the S773 100000 naval
appropriation bill to the White
House today when the House ac-
cepted minor Senate amendments
to the measure.
The big defense bill carries funds
for continuing expansion Of the
feet and the Navys air force, in
Guiding money to begin construction
of two as 5000-ton battleships.
The Senate had passed the bill
yesterday, 81 to IA. after some de-
bate over whether the United States
had any need for such super
dreadnaughts,
Navy officials have testified that
Japan was constructing ships rang
Ing from $4,000 to $4,000 tons, and
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas argued that America should
not sit around waiting for Japan
or some other nation to build
45o00-ton battleship."
The measure carries 46898,000
for the purchase of 500 fighting
planes, but a s500,OOO item for a
rigid dirigible was dropped.
Funds for air bases at the Pacific
islands of Guam and Wake were
eliminated in the House after a
controversy developed over their
proximity to Japan.
The bill contains also a provision
to forbid the Navy to buy Argentine
canned corned beef. The beef item
stirred up a controversy, too, after
President Roosevelt had authorized
the Navy to buy some of the Argen-
tine product and said it was cheap
er and better than that canned in
the United States.

The American Association of State Highway Officials
studied the matter 1887 and concluded that there were

1887 there only about 5000 miles OF mupeane hgh
ways in the country.
Only such highways really be considered motor roads
IN the modern And of the 303 miles of four and SIX
lane width highways only GOA miles were divided so that
traffic passing in opposite directions was divided by raised
parkway center strip. -
How much we have progressed beyond that since 1887
IS definitely known but not much And yet no one can
consider surfaced road really motor road or modern
highway unless is at least four lanes and divided IN the
center by such parkway to make interference almost
impossible between traffic passing in opposite directions

This collection of super-hsr-

effect. When the issue was up
in 1878 a Washington statehood
movement was killed because
Republicans did not want two
more Democrats in the national
senate. and Washington territory
was strongly inclined toward
the Democratic party. With
Gov. Semple that was an asset,
and it was due largely to his
influence that the statehood bill
was introduced in 1855.
In his first report to the
secretary of the interior, Gov.
semple pointed out that the
territory had a population Of
1852; that the total Of tax
able property as shown by the
books OF the county assessors
WAS &8I,621. 1882, gain of
S65.69s,260 in ten years; that
new towns were springing up
among the fir and cedar along
the shores Of Puget Sound,
and the development of ma
tural resources increasing very
rapidly.
Referring to the figures on
taxable property, Gov. Semple
emphasized the fact that figures
taken from the books of the as
SCISSORS could be considered the
minimum and not an exaggera-
ton. and added:
For whatever else an aver
age citizen may neglect. he
never neglects to beat down

To which the governor OF

jubilee with which Tacoma cele-
brated the event Gov. Squire re-
signed TO 60 into business in
Seattle. His successor, James
Semple, former newspaper man
and a Democratic leader in Ore
gon, was even more aggressive
than his predecessor in develop
ing the resources of Washington
territory and promoting the
statehood movement.
There were three live is
sues in the territory when
Gov. Semple came into the
picture-woman suffrage, re-
moval of the capitol from
Olympia to a more central To-
cation, and statehood.
Women of the territory were
still smarting under the loss of
the franchise through an appeal
in the case of a gambler who had
been convicted by jury on
which there were several wom-
en-. Suffrage leaders had forced
politicians to recognize the
movement. In the campaign of
1886 the Republicans. seeking to
acquire an advantage over the
Democrats. put a suffrage plank
in their platform, but when it
came to a showdown in the next
session of the legislature some
of them sidestepped the issue.
Proposal to move the capitol
from Olympia to Yakima or FL
lensburg was hot issue on
which the people were pretty
evenly divided. The movement
gained support when it appeared
that the panhandle of Idaho
would be included in Washing
ton when the territory became a
state. On that theory it would
have been wise to move the cap

and the proposal had consider
able support on the west side.
