Governor West's special good roads
committee ended Its labors yesterday
and when final adjournment was taken
several Important concessions had
been made br each side. The most Im
portant ouestloa at Issoe tha state-
aid bill was set aside for final action
ntn after the Mar meeting 01 m
State Gnat, w hen effort will be made
t tnduca the farmers' onranlsatloo to
rescind Its former resolution asalnst
thia nrobosed measure.
C E. fpence. representing the State

Graos; would Indorse the atate-ara
bill, the state-trWe good roads com
mittee would Indorse the county bond

Interests.
Grant Bill A created.
Tha work of the committee led to
the agreement that If the gtate Grange
will support the state-aid bill, the
county bonding bill of the Grange will
be Indorsed br the state-wtue com
mitt. The bill submitted by tha
State Grange providing for the crea
tion of a slate highway commission
was accented.
Yesterday's session was devoted
mainly to winning the Slate Granga
recreaentallve over to the alate-ald act.
Mr. Scene admitted that It was tha
beat bill of Its kind ba had ever seen,
but that be did not believe that such
a plan would be advisable at this time,
lie declared that the countiea should
be allowed to spend all the money
raised and that tha roads In Impera
tive seed of repair should be made
permanent before any trunk lines are
considered.
If the Stata Grange, in Us May meet
ing, decides against the state-aid bill,
there probably will be two seta of bills
presented to the voters at the Novem
ber general election. However, mem
bars of the committee expressed con
fidence in the farmers rescinding their
present stand.
After concluding their labors yestar
oay. the bills prepared by the Slate
- Grange and the state-wide committee

The act creating the Issue of state bonds
was amended br reducing the amount from

laughter as he said: "I have been In He.

last ZS years and never hare failed to
find sunshine here." He waa tremend-
uously cheered when ha added. If I did
not find the sunshine In tha skies, I
found It In your faces and In your
