i
Prefer Part of Railroad Taxes
Now to Paying Interest on
Warrants That Would
Be Issued.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 4 (Special.)—A
number of county treasurers In the
state tire accepting the Burlington's
offer of 65 per cent, of the taxes
levied against them, In spite of the
fact that the law does not permit
them to receive part payment of
taxes. The treasurers say that the
railroad taxes form so large a part
of their inedme that the best interests
of the counties and school districts
demand that they accept the partial
payment. They do not think that any
taxpayers, vtjio will be saved interest
on warrants thut would otherwise
have to be lsued, will object.
Their principal Justification is that
the federal court would probably tell
them to do It, anyway, as it did a year
ago wljen the Northwestern enjoined
colleefion of its tuxes.
The indications are that the cases
will be pushed through In a hurry, as
the roads are paying 10 per cent in
terest for being delinquent, while the
counties want all the money they can
get. Three federal judges are neces
sary where an Injunction Is granted,
and Judge Munger thinks he can
have the needed number here by the
middle of the month to heur the tax
cases and the Bell telephone Injunc

Construction of Hard Sur
faced Highways a Science
In That State—To Spend
Over $150,000,000.
Springfield, 111., (U. F.)—The con
struction of hard roads has become a
science in Illinois.
In the midst of a road building pro
gram calling for the expenditure of
upwards of $150,000,000, the division
of highways has carried on experi
ments that within a very short time
are expected to revolutionize road
building in the United States.
On a two-mile stretch of road near
this city tho division for the last two
years have carried on these experi
ments. in this stretch were 65 dif
ferent types of hard road. For six
weeks—day and night—heavy trucks
pounded over these road sections,
while engineers noted the effect upon
the different types.
The first radical change was made
early this year in the type ofL con
crete roads then being built in the
state. The tests on the experimental
road proved conclusively that con
crete roads seven inches thick were as
durable as those eight inches thick.
Consequently, the specifications were
changed to call for seven inches of
concrete instead of eight inches. The
state was saved thousands of dollars.
Weak On Edges.
Further tests disclosed that con
crete roads as being constructed in
Illinois were weakest on the edges.
The problem then arose of strength
ening the edge without increasing the
cost of the pavement. Experimental
stretches were built on the test roadi
that were nine inches at the edge
and gracing to six inches two feet
from the edge. The center of the
road was reduced from seven inches
to six inches. This experimental
stretch withstood every test and the
specifications again were changed, it
is estimated this changed save the
state between $1,500 and $2,000 a mile.
Frank T. Sheets, superintendent of
highways, says the experimental road
near this city has saved the state of
Illinois $4,000,000 to date.
The division of highway engineers
are not satisfied to halt here but are
continuing their experiments andi
hope to secure tho perfect road be
fore they quit.
Engineers on Watch.
Hundreds of road engineers from
practically all states in the union have
watched the results of the tests on tho
experimental road and undoubtedly
will change the specifications In their
states.
Because of the nature of its soil, the
state of Illinois is firmly sold on the
concrete road. Experiments have
proven it is the only type that will
stand on the Illinois loam.
So far this year the state has con
structed 615 miles of pavement and
with seasonable weather the figure
will reach 700 before the winter stops
the work. Governor Len Small
promised the voters 1.000 miles of
pavement in 1922. but the rail and
coal strikes reduced the figure.

RUSSIA TO BACK :
TUBKSIEMABBS
Tchitcherin Threat»ns to
Break Up Secret Diplom
acy at Lausanne
Conference.
BY ISAAC DON LEVINE,
Ureversal Service Correspondent.
Special Cable Dispatch,
(Copyright, 1922, by Universal
Service.)
Aboard Georges Tchiteherin’s Spe
*ial Train in Germany, Dec. 2 (De
layed in transmission).—Standing at
the open window of his special par
lor car a minute before his train
pulled out of Berlin for Lausanne,
Georges Tchitcherin, the soviet com
missar of foreign affairs, recognized
me on the platform and beckoned me
to join him.
Tchitcherin received me in his
Shirt sleeves, American fashion, ap
parently preparing to tackle a little
bundle of papers, despite his four
days of continuous travel on the way
from Moscow.
Will Back Turk Demand.
Tchitcherin, on his way to Lau
sanne, reiterated the demand for
Turkish military control of the
straits. When told of the plan that
Venizelos had outlined providing for
allied control of the Dardanelles, • to
menace Turkey, while ythe Turks
would fortify the BosphoVus to pro
tect the Black sea and incidentally
Russia, Tchitcherin broke out in loud
laughter.
“We will let the allies demilitarize
the Bosphorus if they agree that the
Turks control the Dardanelles,’’ he
countered the Venizelos proposed
mirthfully.
Threat Against Secrecy.
Regarding the secrecy at the
Lausanne conference, Tchitcherin
declared that the Russian delegation
will not be a party to “such a fool’s
bargain.” He said that they do not
believe in the practicability of suQh
an arrangement, and said that the
Russians will disclose the proceed
ings of the session in which they
participate.
In concluding the conversation
Tchitcherin said:
“What we want most Is to under
stand the Russian policy of the
American government.”

DEMANDS U. S. RIGHTS.
Lausanne, Dec. 3 (U. P.)—Amer
ican oil, railroad and minnlng inter
ests will carry the fight for Turkish
concessions before the league of na
tions and The Hague court is neces
sary, J. Hamilton Lewis, former
United States senator Lewis, from
Illinois, representing American con
cerns, announced.
Lewis formally notified the confer
ence of the intentions.
“American business concerns de
mand the same right and chances to
concessions as the English,” he told
the conference.
The conference, deadlocked on the
questions of the straits, the Mosul oil
concessions and European frontiers,
today considered a six weeks recess
beginning December 15.
The adjournment would permit
Ismet Pasha, Turkish leader, to con
sult with the Angora government on
those controversies and other dis
puted points.
The conference, under the plan,
would be resumed at the close of the
Brussels meeting.
SUBSIDY BILL ID
COMMITTEE TODAY
Chairman Jones Expects to Be
Able to Place Measure
Before Senate by
Wednesday.
Universal Service.
Washington, Dec. 3.—The admin
istration ship subsidy will be taken
up Monday by the Senate commerce
committee, expects to report the bill to
er the terms of the measure as pass
ed by the House.
Senator Jones, chairman of the
committee, epects to report the bill to
the Senate on Wednesday accom
panied by a motion to make it the
unfinished business so that it may be
considered at once to the exclusion of
other measures.
No hearings will be held on the
bill by the commerce committee. It is
understood that practically all re
publican members of the senate com
mittee are satisfied with the bill as
amended by the House and are ready
to report It to the Senate without
discussion. This does not apply to the
democratic members, however, all but
one of whom are expected to vote
against reporting the bill.
The fate of the subsidy bill in the
Senate hangs in a balance with five
votes likely to prove the determining
factor.
Doubtful administration republi
cans, sent to the Senate from the
farm districts of the midwest, can
sway the bill to passage or defeat
as soon as they make up their minds
how they are going to vote.

LOVING CUP

BY NEGROES
Thanked by Indiana Colored
Folk for Reception Accorded
Negro Troops in France—
Speaks at Baltimore Today.
BY A. J. LORENZ,
Universal Service Correspondent.
Enroute with fcletnenceau, Pitts
burgh, Pa., Dec. 3.—The "Tiger of
France” said farewell to the middle
west todiiy and, is on his way to
M as'.iington to clinch, the object of
his "private mission” in behalf of
France.
Clemenceau was gi ren a surprise
welcome at Dayton, Ohio, today when
he was greeted by Orville Wright and
a committee of citizens.
More Jhan 10,000 people had assem
bled at the station to greet his trairti
during its five minute stop at noon,
today.
Expressing gratification at the re
ception, he declared that he had.
found “America so well disposed to
ward his message” that he nearly re
gretted having made the trip.
"Messenger of Friendship."
“I am a messenger of friendship,’*"
he said. "France never did attack a.
nation and never will. You left the*
war too soon, but I am glad to see
that you have sent observers to the
Lausanne conference, in which Franee
ls seeking to defend herself diplo
matically against the designs of the
Turks, Russians and Germans.”
At Indianapolis a delegation of 200
negroes met Clemeneeau’s train at the
station and presented the “Tiger”
with a silver loving cup on an ebony
base. The cup was inscribed “To the
Tiger of France from the negroes of
Indianapolis.”
In a letter addressed to Clemenceau
the negroes said:
“The black Americans of Indiana,
wish to pay tribute to France’s great
est citizen, and through him to the
great jteople of your country. We are
not unmindful of the kind and hospi
table manner in which you received
our black soldiers. Say to your p^bple
that in our hearts there is a respon
sive chord which will ever vibrate
when danger threatens your borders.”
Talks At Richmond, Ind.
At Richmond, Ind., he was greeted
by a delegation of Quakers, among
them Timothy Nicholson, 94 years
old.
"I want to show you what an old
man looks like”, Nicholson said to
the 81-year-old “Tiger". Clemenceau
smiled and shook hands heartily.
Turning to the gathering of Rich
mond citizens, Clemenceau said that in
lieu of being unable to attend a.
Quaker meeting, he felt like he was
conducting one himself.
“In a certain sense we all ought
to be Quakers,” lie continued, stress
ing his plea that France be not ad
judged a “militaristic nation.”
“It is a pity that General Grant’s
words ‘Peace is gained only by war’
are true. I am not at all sure that it.
can be gained only by peace. You
men who love peace, however, must
make up your minds that life itself is
war and differs little from a fight. It
is ail work and struggle. I shall cer
tainly carry some of the Quaker spir
it back with me.”
At Baltimore he will deliver a
brief address before the Maryland
Historical Society and after a seven
hour stay in the city will depart for
Washington.
He will return to Chicago for an,
address before a meeting of farmers”
organizations on December 11.
