K. 1ane, In a recent communication has called attention to the rsconstruc ! tlon problem of this country and ha partly outlined a plan for their solu- llon. Are we ready for the reconstruc tion problem In'Ncbraaka? They are demanding consideration. We must be prepared. Germany has pleaded to be saved from starvation. Food stuffs must be shipped to the Allies; we cannot ship food over Impassable roads. What Is accomplished by staying the hand of of needed public Improvements, must p!ve the problem fair considera- ! tlon and be willing to put 1he con i struction of permanent roads "over the top n iw. Hauler For Fire onitnlnHlofior Harry J. Hauser. known through out the t:nte as "Nebraska's most popular volunteer fireman", is being endorsed widely for appointment as late fire commissioner for the two year V rm heKnninp, the first of Jan uary. Harry Hauser Is not only capable of filling the place to the satisfaction of everyone btrt he is eminently qua lified because of his experience in the Nebraska State Volunteer Firemen's Association. As president and mem ber of the executive committee and a one of tbe leading and most active members of the association, he has learned the needs of the state la Are protection. Hauser has the endorsement of the l members of the Alliance Volunteer Fire Department and will undoubted- ly be endorsed by all of the depart ixuetitp ever the state. i i ii (ermNiiy Wants The Pntah I News dispatches of Tuesday state thai Germany desires the tenns of the armistice modified so ahe can have "economic Intercourse with the territory on the left bank of the Rhine as before the armistice. " Dr. Solf, German foreign secretary asks permission for German owners jto exploit as heretofore the coal, pot -ash and iron ore mines and the Ken feral free use of the Rhine for trans iport within the old boundries of the Gerir.nn empire. The United States now has no need for German potash, although the Ger- Imar. deposits could undoubtedly be used very handily by the agrtctsltural Htstricts of France. Italy and Flngland iThls country can be amply cared for Eta far as potash is concerned from the Immense resource of ww'irp liraska. the output of notnsh ,from this field being constantly Increased. Permanent IUmuI for NeftraMk Now that peace Is in sight. Nebra ska as well as her sister states, will jet back to the problems which need solving at home One of the most im portant facing this state Is that of permanent road const met ion. Geo. V. fohnson, state engineer, recently ' ued the following statement regard- ng the road proposition for Nebras ta: The question of constructing pre uanent roads in Nebraska is one Vhlch. aRHlimlne pi pan He nmnarllniii I taily, must be answered sooner or ater by the voters of the state. What rom the answer will take cannot now e definitely stated. Other states are nswerlng this same question satis factorily In various ways. This month, the voters of the gf t Illinois have been called upon to ass judgment upon the $60,ft.Aftu ond Issue for the construction of ,800 miles of hard surface road ays. The law provides that the rlncipal and Interest of the bonds e paid from automobile licenses dnr ig a period of twenty-five years. By teans of this plan, tbe roads are to i built by the State's automobile wners.wlthout a cent of direct tax the tax payers. The automobile srners who use the roads will fin ice them. Every cltlsen In the etate ofita Although the question Is not at esent submitted to the people of Ne -ask a, in the same form, aeverthe 88 we may look ahead and profit b e Issue in Illinois. Just what t ate of Illinois' proposes te do. Irht bo "ceasful!y carried out la see. If he need were realise t n "Of h" re-"ns why Illinois puj'b'n' tbe bond lue and attem to 'cw pt'UI comparisons wtth at state und ours, . S!xtv-five r.rr ee-' f the peosMe In y sta', itv or 'to mads In tae ate nn' el-,'y-f'v per cent lire th't five nHps of the mala road, this trts, ceh, airtomabtltst rm'-r Vi-lnci r nn, manufacturer d i' "r 'ltl profit In some way by e run Ay SaeeM to markets, rafl r.nd waterways afforded by Tnn"-ntly c 1 hara-sur- pedi rca'is. !l'i a'f"h"st la tbv aKste caM bo Interestad In road impre- ment, Fince he must pay the tax ed for actual construction. He la 'are - that miles of hard-earfaeed nnected roads will serve, mif nes the cost each year In the re ced upkeep of his car. The fund paid for license will -be turned into the fund within the State, and in a short time the owner will be using the roads he has helped to build. The manufacturer Is well aware the roads will add more thanetaom roads will add more than their cost to the value of the farms In his immediate vicinity. Suppose he owns his car. If railroads are made ac cessible by good roads, the farmer saves time when transporting pro ducts to large cities. If he does not own his car, he must realize that motor trucks are sure to pass his door in the near future as "return load" motor truck traffic Is being or ganised in every county throughout the state. The average farmer Is well aware that motor trucks are de structive to most earth roads, and in certain seasons of the year earth roads are almost impassable. As ow ner of a car, he cannot afford to miss the chance of aiding In hard surfaced road building In Nebraska; he is presented with good roads at low cost. Each business man realizes tbe im portance of good roads In relation to tbe success of his business. Little need be said concerning the benefits received, as they are ever present and over Increasing, of the share good roads play In his business. His market for raw pro ducts Is stimulated, his chances of shipping quickly, Increased; his time and labor saved; his Investment doubled. The laboring classes should rea lize their share In the benefit of hartf-eurfaced road building. If road construction were to begin tomorrow in this state, the greater proportion of production cost of road materials to be used, would go to the laborer in adages. The production workers of such materials as cement, asphalt, brick, tar . sand, gravel, steel and machin ery will receive directly the benefits of such n,bond issue as is proposed. We have not mentioned the edu cational and social adventages afford ed to nearly every person in the state These however are relatlvly small In comparison to the other benefits. Illi nois did not propose to begin exten sive road-building until after the war but the recent peace negotiations will hasten construction and Illinois will have suitable. employment for the thousands of discharged soldiers and munition plant workers. Illinois is facing the question now, and will be prepared to do Its share In adjust ment and reconstruction. They are planning, like other states, for the future. ""The city of Cleveland, Ohio Is plan ning now for just such problems. Mayor Davis has asked all depart ments to submit to him an outline of needed public lmproveents. There reports will be refered to th City Planning Comlssion and upon ap proval, will be put In operation.
