That Road Marke
The decision of the state legisla
ture leaves Mr. Matt Thimgan in a
peculiar position as to the road mark
er which he has an application for a
patent on. He submitted with the
state, through its purchasing agency,
a proposition for the furnishing of
some nineteen thousand of the mark
ers, which is known as the covered
wagon design, and had to make a de
posit of a certified check for one
thousand dollars, as a guarantee that
the markers would be furnished in
ase the state should accept the prop
osition of Mr. Thimgan to furnish
them. This was on March 29. 1926,
and immediately Mr. Thimgan ap
plied for a patent thereon. Later Mr.
Thimgan's bid was turned down and
the state returned his guarantee
check, giving an order to some com
pany for the manufacture of these
markers, which are now used over
the entire state.
Now the turning down of the ap
plication of Mr. Thimgan to permit
him to sue the state seems rather
hard, when it was his idea and his
design and was protected by the ap
plication for a patent. It looks like
injustice, for he should surely be
given opportunity to try the matter
out in the courts.

Bills Passed
to Speed Up State
Highway Work
Permit Counties and Cities to Pledge
Anticipated Gas Tax for
Road Improvement
Lincoln, March 27. The three
companion bills permitting counties
and cities to pledge their anticipated
gas tax earnings to vote bonds for
the construction of highways were
passed by the state senate Wednesday
morning, two by a margin of four
votes and the third by five. An at
tempt to pass the measure with the
emergency clause failed.
The bills. Senate Files 19S.199 and
200, have been the object of a hard
fight for the last month. Once before
on final passage they were killed by a
close vote, but the sponsors succeed
ed in having them brought back for
further action.
Speeds Road Work.
Under their provisions
counties
may vote bonds not to exceed 10
times their yearly anticipated gas tax
refunds to aid state and federal high
way projects. This will enable many
counties to complete their road pro
grams within two or three years, it
is estimated.
The old-age pension bill, senate
File 245, was passed by
20 to 12. It establishes
a vote oi
a county
commission to care for the pensioning
of all citizens over 65 who have no
means of support and who are now
usually housed on poor farms. In no
case is the pension to excel $25 a
month. The money is to be paid out
of the poor fund of the county.
Three Others passed.

Wednesday that the members had i
voted almost 100 per cent in favor of j
a strike, officials of the line here de- I
clared they had not been notified of j
the move.
Four thousand train, engine and
yard employes were aeciareu to nave
voted in favor of the strike because
of differences with the road other
than wage matters. The strike vote
was announced by Fred Barr. vice
president fo the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen and Enginemen, as
spokesman for all the brotherhods
affected.
The Texas & Pacific changed its
division point from Longview, Tex.,
to Mineola, Tex., in January. Many
rail employes owned or were buying

iation failed, and the strike vote was
taken. Some of the rail officials and
employes today were hopeful that ar
bitration would save the situation.

Governor Signs
Four Cent Gas
Bill on Friday
I
and!
Bill
Carries Emergency Clause
Now Goes Into Effect All
Over the State.
Governor Weaver signed the 4
cent gas tax billat 1:30 Friday. The
bill carries an emergency clause and
is therefore now in force. The event
was celebrated by the passing out
of eight different pens to those in
terested in the signing process. A
picture of the group was also taken.
Those present when the governor
approved the bill were State Engineer
Roy Cochran. Representatives Bow
ring, Sprick, Orrin, Jones, Staats and
Oliver Stephenson of Nebraska City,
president of the Nebraska good roads
association.
Governor's Statement.
Governor Weaver issued the fol
lowing statement:
A careful exmination of House
Roll 242. providing for an increase
of the gasoline tax from two to four
cents, convices me that the measure
as a whole is constructive and de
sirable legislation for the state. The
legislature has given careful and
I earnest consideration to this measure.
As in matters of this kind there is
rarely an unanimity of opinion. Many
of the members would undoubtedly
have changed some of the provisions,
the same as I would, or other citi
zens. The outstanding feature in this
bill in my opinion is that for the
first time in the history of our road
legislation we are providing irom uir
gasoline tax a means of building
farm-to-market roads. This is se
cured by crediting to the several
counties one cent of the gasoline tax
based on the number of registered
automobiles in each county. This
with the 70 per cent of the auto
mobile registration fees will give
them a real road building fund.
Without these farm-to-market roads
the highway system of the state
would never bo complete, and because
Nebraska is an agricultural state,
this provision I regard as fundamen
tal. The additional cent, which goes to
i the state, and concerning which there
ihas been some difference of opinion,
'is fully justified by the needs of the
j state as detailed to me by Secretary
I Cochran of the Public Works depart
ment. Specific provision is made for
the division of thfs additional cent.
One-half is to go for state roads
' where inequalities exist between
j counties. This inequality is appar
jent when we realize that many coun
Ities thru the same expenditure in
ithe past, have more roads than other
I counties, caused entirely by differ
ence in topography. additional
'streams, and so forth. The remain
ing half a cent will meet federal aid
ion which we are now in arears three
and one-half millions, and a need
! which c ould not in any event be
lonser deferred, that of providing tor
paving where gravel fails to carry the
traffic. I emphasize the tact.
is 1
have many times before, that Nenras
ka is not yet ready for any extensive
paving program. Our first duty is to
extend the benefits of the gravel sys
tem to all parts of the state under
the r.rogir.al two cents tax and to sup
ply farm-to-market roads and to
equalize the inequalities referred to
as provided by this act. A small
amount is provided each year for pav-
iiisr where navinsr is indisnensible fori
carrying traffic, such as low sandy
stretches or other places where gravel
is not siu ce.-.sful. In such places, the
federal governmen is opposed to the
expenditure of further funds on the
present type of construction.
As to the necessity of the addi
tional allowance of on cent for fed-
rai
aid. I approve the opinion of
Mr. Cochran as entirely sound.
This bill in my opinion will mark
a new era for Nebraska, and I be
lieve will meet with the approval of
the vast majority of our people who
are opposed to bond issues and prop
erty tax for the highway system.

county to another in the pursuit of

day by Governor Weaver in a letter
to Harry W. Scott, tux commission
er, who investigated the matter at
the former's request.
"From your investigation I have
concluded that too much is being
expended for this purpose, that the
total expenditures lor this purpose

Both Houses Move to Modify Changes
to Prevent Veto by Gover

Lincoln, March 29. Both houses
of the Nebraska legislature prepared
Friday to recant their recent votes
to abolish the presidential primary
and make the vote on selection of
delegates to national party conven
tions of the party.
i Although Governor Weaver was
saying nothing except that the bill
passed by both houses had been re
moved from his hands for further
j engrossing, it was the governor's im
plied threat of veto that moved the
legislature to act.
Senator Dwight Griswold, author
of the bill, admitted the governor
wanted the bill changed. He asked
for suspension of the senate's rules
and return the bill to the senate.
Similar action was taken in the
house. The bill goes to the conference
committee, where the plan is to re
tain the presidential primary and
remove the proposal for secrecy in
j selection of delegates.
1 Senator Griswold hopes Governor
Weaver will sign the bill with these
two changes.
It is Griswold's plan to leave the
bill selection of delegates to national
conventions by state party conven
tions, instead of by direct
