PETITIONS FOR NEW HIGHWAY “BOARD FILED Change of Plans Is Made by Good Roads, Association in Legislative Program Petitions asking that a proposed law creating a new state highway commission be placed before the vot-| ers at the election November 7 have been filed with the secretary of state by the:North Dakota Good Roads:as sociation.” " With the\ filing of the petitions al-| tered plans of the good roads as- sociation in its plan to develop the road systems of North Dakota were announced, which may call for a post- ponement, of action at present con- templated. The propoged law pro- vides for a highway commission of | three members, tv pe appointed by the governor, one from each congres- sional district, which shall. have charge of the building and mainte- nance of state highways. i Petitions had been obtained for'a second initiated law, providing that motor vehicle license fees should be expended entirely under the direction of the state highway commission, but protecting the proportionate payment of counties. This law will not be pressed at this time nor will the proposed constitutional ‘amendmert providing for a new method of con- trolling a state system of highways. It is understood that directors of | the association, after dcep study into the question, have decided that altered plans are nescessary in the develop- ment of the state roads systerh, that there is. need for more educational ; work in the state preceding the sub-| mission of an elaborate program and that the best interests of the assocja- tion -and good roads development necessitate a revision of the plans.

I have personally seen cars fly by at 30 to 40 miles per hour in making and going down these slopes when small children were upon them, and it is only great good fortune that none of them have been killed or maimed.” To Put On Men. Members of the city commission agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mr. Zuger. Police Commissioner Henzler said that police had already made many arrests for speeding.

President John L. Lewis of the min- ers, and also leaders among the oper- ators here were optimistic regarding the probability of a settlement which if accomplished would be followed almost immediately by the union ask- ing anthracite joperators to renew the wage negotiations that were broken: off in June after several weeks of fruitless effort toward a settlement. Lewis had expressed the opinion that “this week will sec the end of the bituminous coal controversy.” In brief, the program for settle- ment called for re-establishment of the wage contract8 that expired last March 31, the eve of the! beginning of the tie-up that has continued more than four months and also the cre- ation of an advisory commission of inquiry through whose influence, it was expected that disputes would be settled without strikes.

This situation was divided today Jacobson, railroad and warehouse commissioner, with representatives from South Dakota and represent- atives of the shippers from Mincapo- lis, St. Paul and Duluth, J. W.

The conference estimated that ap- proximately 50,000 cars will be need- ed in the northwest at once for pota- to shipments alone. How many cars will be needed for grain shipment the committee could not estimate, until Frank Milhollan, North Dakota railroad commissioner arrives here Thursday. At that time another con- ference will be held between the three state commissioners, who will outline a course of action to secure aid from the Interstate Commerce Commission. lawing the conference Thursday one or more of the commissioners would leave at once for Washington to pre- sent the seriousness of the case to the Interstate ‘Commerce Commis- sion, HURT IN ‘AUTO COLLISION In yesterday’s Tribune in report- ing the collision of the Service Taxi Car line with that of a car driven by Arthur Small, it was stated that the taxi car went into a ditch and the occupants were thrown out.

Volstead act, that will permit the sale of light wine and beer. Both issues are being fought out in the campaign for governor. Nom-| ination of Carmi 4.
