BEST SYSTEM Extension of State Highway Commission Control Seen In Middle West PEOPLE GLAD TO PAY Indiana’s Experience Is That Good Roads Mean Economy | To Motorist, Farmers + Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 17.—State | highway commission control of high- ways has come to stay in Indiana. | Centralized contro] of the road ays | tem in the state body not only is} firmly imbedded in the state laws, but there is an overwhelming sen- | timent in favor of such control; peo- ple demand that it be extended. The state highway commission | law was enacted in Indiana only four years ago after a great legisla- tive battle, but there has been no such fight’ as was waged in the) North Dakota legislature last winter to abolish the commission. Instead each succeeding legislature, with the majority of members either farm- ers or depending upon the votes of farmers for political advancement, have amentied and extended the laws until officials of the state claim that the state has the best highway laws that have yet been devised in this or’ other states. . There has been but one proposi- tion advanced by good roads boost- which has found little favor—i ance of state bonds for road build- ing. A “pay as you go” policy has been adopted by the state with re- spect of state highways. It is held that this policy means economy in rond building, since the interest charge on a huge bond issue is avoided; it prevents the state from building a system that cannot be maintained adequately with finances available, and an extension of the highways gives opportunity to progte: road building. ! While at first the proposition that the state highway commission should maintain state highways was looked upon with disfavor, the commission has done so well in maintaining is that there is a readiness on all sides to provide, adequate funds for the commission to carry on its maintenance program. The highway system contemplates main market highways connecting all| parts of the state, all to be paved ultimately, and a system of state- built and state-maintained connecting every county sea ment is used chiefly in paving, al though in brick-producing yh the state some brick roads on either crossings and ,bad hills are elimin- ated to a largé extent, Few gravel highways have been built by the state comm It has, however, taken over many gra- vel highways and has improved them and is maintaining them. Surplus army trucks used to a great de gree in the maintenance work. Some of the gravel highways which ere a part of trans-continental or other trails of importance are dragged each day, chuck-holes are kept fill- ed up and loose gravel used as need- ed. Travel at 40 to 50 miles an hour is accomplished on such highways without discomfort or danger. It is the work of the highway com jion in maintaining these gravel roads so well under heavy traffic that has Won support for the state unit of maintenance, ’ Funds for the state highway com- mission are derived from a small general property tax, a 2-cent-a-gal- lon gasoline tax provided by the last les ture and the motor vehicle Part of the gasoline tax goe: to counties, while all motor vehicle! fees go into the state fund. A coun- ty unit of control of practically all} highways not included in the state 8 is provided, the old township item disappearing al There is no complaint on the gi oline tax. Motorists believe that it is economy for them to be able to travel over paved or well-maintained gravel roads. There is, too, the ad- vantage which would be, proportion- ately greater in North Dakota—the tourist pays the joline tax and thereby helps to keep up the roads he uses in traveling across the coun- Motorists demand good ‘roads first for pleasure and they, too, have. be- come convinced that the best roads are the most economical. The: only class of business that is generally held to be benefitted to degree by the roads farming, and livestock to market and ability to beat high freight r: by use of individually owned tracks or truck Hines bave been factors which have caused farmers throughout to strongly support the good roads Program.

COMMUNISTS ORGANIZED ON MOUNTAIN TOP Communist Party of America Founded in Secrecy; Now Acts Openly 1,000,000 MEMBERS. Has Mushroomed All Over United States and Canada Since Start New York, Sept. 17.—A description purporting to show that the Com-| munist Party of America was found-| ed amid dramatic secrecy | atop mountain in the Catskills 28 months ago, and has mushroomed over the United States and Canada, is contain- ed in the fifth of a series of articles made public today by the. United Mine Workers of America, charging a movement to bring America under the banner of the Moscow commun- ists. At first, the article asserted, the party was an “underground” organ- i ization, functioning in secrecy. To-} day, according to the miners, it has a membershi rect and auxiliary, of 1,000,000, with interlocking direc- torates binding it to 45 national or- ganizations and 200 locals, and work-{ ing in the open. Prior to May, 1921 the Communist; International was represented as| having become so impotent through| federal prosecution and deportation of members that formation of an “gnderground” society was determin- ed upon. And so, having chosen one of the most historically primitive spots inj the East as a setting, “70 Communist leaders, representing the two factions of the Communist party and: the; United Communist party, gathered in} the ancient hotel on the top of| Overlook Mountain on the morning of | May 16, 1921, to compose their dif-| ferences and unite in a single group, to be known as the Communist Party of America,” said the a je. “This assembly was not only at the command of Lenin and Zinoviev ! the Communist Interngtional, but it) was accompanied with the threat! that if the factional differences were! not put aside and a united front pre- sented for invading the labor unions f the United States, no more money would be forthcoming from Moscow for financing the revolutionary move- ment in this country. Up to that time Moscow hed contributed money: to both of these factions, but had de- cided that their hostility to each their work.” ‘A personal emissary of Lenin and Zinoviev was alleged to‘have domina- ted the session. “Silent and taciturn, this emissary met the \70 delegates near Kingston, N. Y.,” the narrative continued. “They were canveyed to the foot. of Overlook mountain in automobiles. Guards saluted them along the roads. For more than two weeks these guards had been stationed in the vi- cinity of Fort Montgomery, Tanners- ville; Saugherties and Kingston, Trains ‘arriving at these towns were observed. by sentinels. A guard’ re- -mained’behind the delegates to watch the village marstial in Woodstock. Other guards were scattered around the countryside as farm hands. There were guards also in the Grand Cen-! tral Station at New York.” When the party reached the hotel, military -discipling was alleged to have. been inaygurated. _ Delegates were forbidden to write letters or take notes, Twice a day everyone was, xearched..An “out-of-bounds” was within the state and: have created a mew state pride.

Is the map of the world to be changed, whole continents wiped ‘out and new ‘continents created in a Second Deluge? : Dr. Milton A. Nobles, geologist and student of earthquake and vol- canic phenomena, thinks.so.- * More thah a year ago, in a New York newspaper, he pre traced through Italy, Da -Asia Minor, Persia, India, Japan and Si- beria— the exact spots where most of the big earthquakes and volcanic eruptions of the year have occurred! | And now Dr, Nobles sees these Oceans engulfing all Europe, half of Asia, part of Africa, and part of | North America. E: New lands rising to double the area of the western hemisphere in one great American continent and| joining Australia sad New Zealand left to right, Secretary of Commerce Front row, left to right, Postmaster Attorney General steam, and the enormous pressure thus generated will literally blow up continents and submerge them. “As the water rushes into . these holes, oceans will be lowered in their present beds, causing new lands to emerge. “This change is merely the -plan of nature to maintain an ever fertile world. When lands through centur- ies of use became barren and over- populated nature destroys taem, and brings into: being lands re-vitalized and re-fertilized by centuries of sub- mersion, “This has happened before and is the basis for the story of the deluge, North and South America were once joined to Europe and Africa and the North Pole was'a tropical region. “Centuries ago a terrific explosion sank the land hetween America and Europe and turned the world on its axis. Now it is going to . happen again!” : Dr. Nobles, who has spent 26 years in the study ‘of volcanic - and earthquake phenomena, is known in Philadelphia as the “hermit scien- tist.” He lives in seclusion and spends his days puring over. books and maps in a dark little, office in Sansome street, PROGRESS TO: - BE SHOWN AT AIR MEETING International Air Races to be Scene of Historical ; Exhibition St. Louis, Sept, 17.—An historical exh of aviation wil be a feature of the International Air Races to be held here October 1 to 3.
