West Virginia Urged To Adopt

Constitutional amendments
to prevent the diversion of auto

People of three states at the
November election, Edwin f..
Patrick, SECRETARY of the West
Virginia Petroleum Association,
said today. Through these a.
mendments, he said the future

es will be protected. A total OF
ii states-California, Colorado,
Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, Miss
Michigan, New Hampshire,
Nevada, and, North and South
Dakota-have amended their
constitutions to prevent future
raids upon their highway funds.
: West Virginia may well
follow the examples OF these
states in amending its constitu-
ton to protect it's road fund"
said Patrick. although the
diversion of road funds to non
highway purposes is not a prob
lem in this state, it is wise for
the people to lset up a safe
guard before the problem a
rises. 1t is wise to lock the stable
door before there is any posi-
bility of the horse being stolen.
Earlier in 1910 the state of
North Dakota adopted such a
amendment, making q total of
four states to adopt such CON
stitutional reforms in single
year. Public opinion definitely
is regulating the diversion of
highway funds as an unsound
public policy. ."

ed amendments to guarantee
that all automotive taxes shall
be used solely for road improv-

teen millions of Negroes in
America are now buying out of
their slender incomes more than
three billion dollars of goods
and services; further, they are
contributing between five and
seven billions of dollars to the
total national wealth; and fin
ally, if through college and high
school training they can be
further educated and made skill
ed and set free by learning to do
all of those tasks of which they
are capable, they will easily
double their purchases and more
than double their contribution
to our national wealth.
Psychologists, sociologists,

told me that because of the long
