A new campaign Jo prevent the

from Valley to the Dodge county
line aix milei north, wa brgun ye
tcrday by neven civic organisation
" afdliatrd with the joiot roadt com

graph a protest to the federal road
bureau at Washington against the
contract just awarded the Allied
Contractor!, Inc.
"We had an attorney' reoort jhat
thit contract j invalid and can be
enjoined in the court,- laid W. B.
Cheek, a member of the Joint com
mittee. "W( decided that, before we
did that, we would ask the federal

"Oue irregularity of the contract
is that there ii no time limit. An
other is that the contractor it re
quired to pay all salaries and ex

Ijthc Chamber of Commerce, the Ro

change. I Ofticials of the Allied Contractors
are understood to declare that the
contract is entirely regular and con
forms to general practice.
Step in Campaign.
'This is just another step in the
campaign to have permanent brick
surfaced roads in Douglas county,"
s.-.id Mr. Cheek. "The bitulithie
bid in this case was $3.05. a yard,
and the brick bid was $3.43. For
that price, there is no question as to
the superiority of brick."
Two "years ago, court action
against bitulithie contract resulted
in its being set aside by the courts.
Since then a bitulithie contract has
been awarded for paving on ths
Lincoln highway, but the road com
mittee proposes to insist upon con
tinuance of brick on this main-traveled
thoroughfare.

of America. Gen. Wu suggested that
the reorganised republic be known
as the "United State of China."
The majority of the provinces al
ready have signified their approval of
the proposal to reunite the country
under a federal government at Pekin,
with each province enjoying rights
similar to those accorded the ep
arate states of the American union,
Gen. Wu said.
The quiet little man who drove
the Manchurian war lord, Chang Tso
Lin, iu rout from the gates of Pekin
and recalled to office the constitu
tional president. Li Yuan-Hung, de

extent not reached by any other
country. '

new leader. Chen Chiung-Ming, who
recently drove Sun from Canton,
was a particularly itrong supporter
of the "Americanized China" pro
gram. Wu Pei-Fu pointed out that while,
a central government should be
maintained at Pekin, the great dis
tances that separated.the boundaries
of the country made it imperative
that the provinces ' should be per
mitted a measure of local autonomy,
similar to that possessed by the
several states of the American
union.
Up to Parliament.
This question of provincial au
tonomy, Wu suggested, should be
settled at the next sets'on of the
republican parliament, which is ex
pected to obtain a quorum for a
meeting in Pekin by August 1.
Support for, the proposal that
China adopt western ideas is said
to be strong in Pekin,. owing to the
presence there of many Chinese of

America.
Leaders of this class are Dr. Wel
