Graded earth roads will be accept
able to the federal government for a
pint of tho congressional good roads
appropriation, according to a telegram
lrom Ij. W. l'age, diii'Ctor or roads of
Washington, I). C, in response to a
quoiy from Lincoln.
The query sent Mr. l'age was: "Will
your depaitinont rule that earth roads,
giaded to line, section and Mirfttcoi
with good drainage and permanent
substructure- is substantial construc
tion entitled to receive measure of led
eral Aid'.'"
This was the answer; "Type of
road determined In each case by con
ditions. Graded earth road is accept
able if conditions win rant anil improve
ment is substantial as required by
law."
According to B. A. George, good
roads booster of Lincoln, opposition to
Fcdoial aid, based on tho assumption
that roads built under it must be hard
surfaced, paved roads Is unwarranted.
"Tho telegram establishes that fed
eral aid is available for any character
of construction down to dirt roads, if
grading and construction is substan
tial in character," Mr. Georgo asserts.

Doings of The State Legislature.
( The past week has been one of con
siderable interest and many commit
tee meetings on various bills, have
been held. Prominent among the
measures which have received atten
tion and have passed one branch of
the legislature is that of partial wo
man suffrage. This bill has excited
a large amount of interest and many
petitions have been presented, both
for and against its passage. In the
Senate Friday when the matter of re
ferring the bill to a standing commit
tee, was under consideration a wordy
warfare developed between Senators
Howell and Moriarty of Douglas coun
ty, in which some of the bitterness
that developed in the early part of the
session was revamped anil as a re
sult an official protest was made over
the charges of the senior Senator
from Douglas county. Another im
portant measure has succeeded in
weathering tho storm and is now
through the House of Keprcsenta
tives and in the hands of tho Senate,
is that of an appropriation of $80,000
t'-r a hog barn to be erected on the
state fair grounds. The bill as origin
ally proposed carried an appropria
tion of $100,000, but this was reduced
to tho first amount stated above. Many
public hearings have been hold by the
committees and within the next few
days a general grind of bills on the
general file will be had in botli the
House and Senate.
On account of February 12th being
a legal holiday, no session of the leg
islature was had, hut many of the
members residing at a distance re
mained over and looked after some
of their personal correspondence and
social affairs in and around Lincoln.
While this is tho case, there were also
those who took occasion to go to their
homes for the first time since the
convening of the legislative session.
Hearings by the car shortage com
mittee have been going on regularly
and joint committee of tho House and
Senate are having the testimony ot all
witnesses taken down by a stenogra
pher. I he report will be a volumin
ous affair and will hardly be ready
for consideration by the law makers
before the first, of March. Never
in the history of Nebraska has there
been a time when the car proposition
affecting shippers of grain has been
in so demoralized a conditon and so
thoroughly unsatisfactory to both
shippers and the railroads as has been
the case for the past three or four
months.
While the shippers of grain have
had a good excuse for complaint yet
it is also a fact that western rail
roads and superintendents have been
driven to desperation by their inability
to got cars returned from eastern
cities.
The committee bill for the enforce
ment of the prohibitory amendment
which was introduced in both House
and Senate will be printed and ready
for distribution by the middle of the
month. The House has already re
ceived five hundred extra copies of the
measure but the demand for tho same
was so great that the supply was en
tirely exhausted within one hour. In
addition to the regular five hundred
copies issued to the Senate, there has
been a special order made upon the
printer fni fifteen hundred additional
copies. These will be sent out over the
statue in equal proportion to each
senatorial district.
One method of shortening the ballot
as well as providing for a direct vote
on president and vice president has
been presented in the House and is
backed up by some of the strongest,
members therein. It is known as
House Roll No. 103. The plan is to
have tiie voters cast their ballots upon
the choice of president and vice-president
and that thereafter the Gover
nor would appoint Presidential Elec
tors of the same political faith as the
candidate for President, who received
the majority vote.
School legislation interests every
voter and tax payer in tho state, and
while it is true that many good laws
have been enacted in recent sessions
of the Nebraska Legislature, there is
yet a demand for further revision. In
consequence of this condition the edu
cational committees will within a few-
days, report out bills that concern
all parts of the state and which will
no doubt be of considerable benefit
to some of the districts which are
numbered among the smaller ones lo
cated in the central and western
parts.
A bill by Senator Sandall and which
we referred to in a previous communi
cation contains the following para
graph regarding amendments to the
primary election laws; "At the gen
eral election held biannually there
shall be elected by tho voters of each
political party, a party chairman for
each County in the state, who
shall be ex-officio a member of
tho state party committee and
shall be entitled to cast ono vote for
each one thousand votes or major
fraction thereof, cast in the county
by said party for the nominee in the
state the highest votes for elector
at tho last nrececdinir presidential
election. Nominating petitions for
county chairman shall contain at least
ten per cent of tho vote of the party
last cast for presidential electors. Par
ty committees for each county, con
sisting of one committeeman for each
voting precinct in tho county shall
be appointed by the county chairman
by and with the consent of the party
candidate." These changes are re
ceiving approval at the hands of many
members in both House and Senate,
and it will not be at all surprising
if the election laws are amended in
accordance with the provisions as set
forth.
