LEGISLATURE CONVENES
(Continued from pago one.)
with tho general primary nominating
election on May 19, 1022. lly so doing
the great burden of expense would be
eliminated through the use of the pri
mary election machinery In connect Ion
with flueh siH'Ciul election.
I turn to a matter I deem of para
mount importance to tho welfare of
tho state. That Is the necessity for
additional legislation to preserve our
weight of loads and sliced of motor
trucks have been giving gravest con
cern to every person who has beeti
interested in the highway situation.
Not alone is this a matter of gravity
as it alfects our hardsurface highways,
important as it may bo In that connec
tion. Hut throughout the stale lighter
types of surfaces, such as macadam
antl gravel, are being damaged almost
irreparably by heavy motor trucks
passing over them. Frequently these
lighter surfaces are constructed by
small road districts which expend the
limit, or near the limit, of their taxing
power to construct lateral and market
roads and occasionally they see such
roads wreclted by no more tiian one or
two trucks. I may add that in my mind
those lateral and market roads are of
most vital iuiK)rtauce the very arter
ies that cany tho life's' blood to our
state.
respoetrttll7 call your attention
(hat the saving of one mile of highway
would inoro than cover tho expense of
this sessiou of the legislature. Wo arc
spending millions for roads. We must
take proper precautions to protect
thorn from early destruction. To have
awaited another regular session before
considering this matter might have
meant many hundreds ot thousands of
tlollats in destruction otherwise pre
ventable. Involved In the problems confront
ing us is tho matter of resliieting
weights and speeds of trucks without
ruthlessly Interfering with or destroy
ing agricultural and industrial enter
prise. Primarily the roads are made for
handling tho products of our people.
these
nro iho farmers' roads, over which
they take their produce to tho market
centers. Wo never should lose sight
of that fact. The roads are built for
such men as the farmer, particularly
Die market roads, and his interests
must bo subserved. Any legislation
enacted should take into full account
this fact. I believe legislation may be
evolved which will protect his inter
ests as well as tho roads.
Further, In connection with our
highway system, I submit to you the
necessity for proper regulatiotccover
ing passenger busses and other motor
hides operating for hire on our ptib-
lic highways. These vehicles liavo
free use of iho expensive roadways
which are being constructed in all
parts or the state. It Is right and just
not only that they bo subjected to
proper regulation, but that tlicy pay a
just ami lair share of tho revenue re
quired to maintain such roads.
1 have touched but briefly upon the
two important matters dealing with
highway legislation. Immediately
upon issuing the call for this special
session I asked fivo prominent citizens
three of them state officials, to gather
such data as they deemed necessary to
assist the legislature in expediting its
labors at this session. I understand
these datti are ready for 'submission to
you. Sly object hi asking Iheso men
for their valuable assistance was mere
ly to go to the same sources' of infor
mation it. would he necessary for you
to seek in securing light on llieso im
portant subjoctH and to whip this in
formation into such shape as- might
materially assist you and lighten, as
well as shorten, your labors.
I leave theso problems with you for
your consideration. The proK)sed
highway legislation alone I consider of
such magnitude Us to well warrant
your attendance here in special ses
sion. Properly enacted statutes of
tills character might, well mean the
saving of millions of dollars to the
state.
In closing I desire to say I havo the
fullest faith that, the patriotism and
ability of this body of representatives
of the people will restnt in as speedy a
dispatch of business as is consistent
with properly considered legislation.
I desire to thank you for your prompt
depa rttnent and to assure you
confident the earnestness and careful she would bo fighting against thoitunlty will bo given for a, public ex-
inuugni j leei you will give u
the
matters before you will return highly
beneficial results to the people of the
slate.

Austin Stack seconded President

for "complete Independence and
nothing short of it." - -
Count Plunkelt also spoke in sup
port of tile motion for rejection.
During his address President Do

Naval Meeting Postponed
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19. (lly Asso

marking one of tho longest steps yet
head of the French delegation. The;laK,Ml towttra 11 naval rcciion .ig.ee-
coinmittee had been called to meet to
day at 11 o'clock.
The French delegation through Am
bassador Jusserand explained to Mr.
Hughes by telephone that M. Sarraut
had cabled to Premier Utiand on Sat
urday for further instructions and that
a dispatch of some length had just
been received from France which
would take Bonio tiuio to decode. Ac
cordingly u delay of 21 hours was re
quested. M. Sarraut told newspapermen that
he did not yet know tho nature of tho
cablegram which had JuBt been, re
ceived, but as be had been advised
through tho Associated Press of what
was described as M. Ilriand's accep
tance of tlio American ratio, he pre
sumed that it concerned that phaso of

The request of the Fro: h naval ex- j
liorts hero for a capital sjiip tonnage
twice as great as that prov ided in Uie
American plan had brotiglut the negotl-1
ations to a rather critical stage and a !
long and perhaps stubborn debate had i
been forecast generally.
Details of tho settlement in London !
effected between Premier Ilriand and '
Ambassador Harvey had not been com- i
munieated to the arms delegates early j
today but the Associated Press dis
patches announcing an agreement
were received with general expres- j
sions of gratification. Tho result, It
was said, would bo to clear tho way for
consideration of details of tho naval

elusion of the whole conference.
Would Fight World
Arthur Griffith, in the course of his
speech opening debate on ratification,
said the point in dispute was with re
gard to the recognition of tho king.
Those on the other side wero prepared
lo recognize 'the king as head or the
llritish commonwealth. Tho alterna
tive proposals in the treaty meant that
Ireland would be half in and half out
of the British empire, whereas under
the treaty, the Irish would go in witll
heads tip. That wa.s the main difrer
ence, anil ho would not sacrifice- a
single young Irishman for it.
Mr. Griffith said this was the first
treaty signed between Kngland nnd
Ireland as equals sinco tho year 1172
antl it recognized the Irish free stato,
the Irish army and Irish control of the
highways from destruction. Tho response to the call of the executive

Italians Reasonable
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19. -Souio dis
cussion may ho necessary, it w-as said,
to bring Italy's views iulo accord with
the five power ratio proposal, but no
prolonged negotiations on that point
are exjKieted. The complete American
proKsal for expansion of tho three
cornered agreement into a fivo iwwor
treaty Is reported In the Paris unofHc
inl dispatches as jirovitling for a ratio
of 1.70 for France'and l.CS for.Italy, as
compared to the 5-5-2 already agreed
on 'fpr the United States, Great Bri
tain and Jaiian, respectively. The
Italian delegation has Insisted hereto
rore thjit their government should
have as largo a figure as France.
Throughout the discussions however
the Italians havo shown a tendoucy to
make every : reasonable concession in
tho interest, of harmony. ,. , '
Although never made public,' the
American capital ship proposal for
Franco ami, Italy is known to have
been in the shape of actual proposed
tonnrtge not reduced to the form of an
expressetl ratio. As a consequence
there was somo confusion over today's
unofficial dispatches from Paris quot
ing ratio figures.
Once there is an agreement among
the fivo powers as to the capital ship
ratio, tho next big question will relate
to submarines. In that Held a sharp
difference of opinion Is developing but
thore is a general feeling that it will
not ho permitted in any way to inter
fere witll the underlying agreement on
ratio.
Expect Plenary Session
In somo quarters it Is expected that
plenary session of the conference
will be held as soon as there is a ratio
agreement, jierbnps In a few days, at
which the definite five power plan will
