Present system will halt with the end of this fiscal year, he explained. “If we want any highways next year, the legislature will have to give us back the state motor vehicle tax money,” Plomasen said, tead of allowing it to be diverted to the state bond fund.” The only other alternative, Plom- sen said, would be a special appro-| priation by the legislature. giving the highway department sufficient mon- jes with which to carry on construc- tion work.

Approximately $4,000.000 will be earmarked for North Dakota during the next biennial period, H. J. Taylor, head of the U. S. bureau of roads here, said. Taylor said there was a possibility congress may pass new legislation, again affording direct, unmatched federal funds to states for road build- ing, in event that the depression per- iod is not ended. FERA STAFF GIVEN WAGE ADJUSTMENTS ‘Equalizer’ Sees Some Salaries Boosted, Others Slightly Reduced State FERA pay checks went through the “equalizer” Monday, many coming through the ordeal slimmer, others fatter. The process of equalization was ord- ered by E. A. Willson, state adminis- trator of the federal relief adminis- tration, after a survey had revealed Many inequalities in pay for persons @oing identical work. Base rate minimums were set by Willson’s order, for all positions in the administrative set-up. The general adjustment also was made, Willson said, to bring them in- to line in comparison with salaries be- ing paid workers in private business throughout the state. Investigation revealed that some workers in the relief organization were being- paid “too little,” Willson said. Accordingly, he ordered pay increases in these cases. In other instances, pay for the individual job was “too much,” ‘Willson explained, end cuts were ordered. While all salaries for particular types Of positions do not remain the same, Willson explained they will be \dentical in proportion to relief need. “In cases where we feel that a per- son, because of lack of resources, in- dividuals dependent on him make the need greater, his income will be ac- cordingly larger, than that of another Person doing the same work, but with- out the additional personal need for relief, all other things being equal,” Willson said. He pointed out that no adjustment of salaries had been made since the first organization under CWA, which qesenmed “the first rush to organ- Harry Pierpont Will Get Death Call Soon Columbus, ©., Oct. 15.—()—Silent and sullen, Harry Pierpont sat in a death row cell at Ohio penitentiary Monday waiting for the summons that will take him down the corridor to the little death house and the electric chair.

On his way to the electric chair Pierpont will pass the cell of Russell Clark, serving life for his complicity in the sheriff's slaying.
