STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
Tho attitude of the State lllgh
way Commission In reference to the
distribution of the G,tiOO,000 state
bond issue will be to shov? no undue
preference to any particular section
of the state ovor another. And ilna
Is a matter wherein the commission
has acted wisely. It Is their iuteu
tlon to co-ooorate with ail the coun
ties throughout the state, not with a
few, as many have been lead to be
lieve through opponents to tho bond
Issue. Another matter which will
receive serious consideration from
tho commission is the bids submit
ted by paving companies for tho road
construction. If It Is found that the
prices Beem exhorbltnnt, or In any
way do not moot with tho approval
of the board, the work of building
roadB will be undertaken by the
state, the necessary machinery anC
other equipment purchased, lnlior
employed by tho day and tho con
struction of roads curried out under
the Instruction and supervision of
the Btnto engineers. In the selec
tion of the state highway commis
sioners by Governor Withycoiniie II
wi.a not done with the idea that the
particular section from where the
selection was made would have nny
bearing on the amount of road build
ing to be distributed .throughout
the state. It will bo the aim of
the gentlemen appointed to play
fair with all, and this 1b as much as
tan be expected from any body or
Bet of men representing tho inter
ests of the Btate. What benefit it,
derived by oacn county In the nt:.tr
depends very much on what the peo
ple of these counties do toward fur
thering their own particular Inter
ests. If the commisBlon is shown
that we are alert to building up
our cities and rurnt conimunltlso
by action, not words, and will make
a financial effort to curry out our
own Immediate needs, the slate com
mission will not bo found "asleep at
the awltch." They will bo only two
willing to nsslBt and direct In all
road matters where the spirit of co
operation abounds. Douglas county
should not lag a moment until some
action Is taken whereby our road In
terests will be materially benefitted
by tho proposed bond Issue.

panion Arnold Hcnnott sayB: "Tho

though thnt Is by no menns negli

only for the dull man but for the
companions of the dull mnn, and
boredom Is the mother of many Ills

It Is to be hoped that our mer

Filibustering is of course very
bad, but It is perfectly legitimate
for the pitcher to delay the game

It looks as if bunting submarines
