if PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21 Francis

Ex for eastern Pennsylvania, who tender
EI cd bis resignation, did bo, he said, for
Ff a principle,
fl In his letter to the president, he
m "L am obliged to take this step be
- cause I feel out of sympathy with the
m anti-radical policies of Mr, Palmer and
' his methods of carrying them out."
3 Mr. Kane also suit a letter to At
torney General Palmer, disagreeing
with Mr. Palmer's statement that
1 there does not seem to be any ques
tion of policy involved in the raids,
"it is one thing to debar an alien!
coming into this country by admlnis-1
; tratlve methods, but it is quite another
lo deprive a man who has been in the
country a long time, and who perhaps
has a wife and children here, of what I
wo are accustomed to think of as con
stitutional rights," wrote Mr. Kane, i
; "In tho present raids we appear to
be attempting to repress a political
party. It has a platform, most of which
is highly objectionable to me and you
So much I grant you but calls itself a
political party and holds open meet
ings and discussions- Consequeutly
we ought not to raid It unless we are
absolutely compelled to do so in order
lo enforce the law for by such methods
we will drive underground and make
dangerous what was not dangerous
Palmer Replies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24. Attorney
General Palmer replying to a letter
from Francis Fisher Kane, announc-!
ing his resignation as U. S. attorney
for eastern Pennsylvania on account of
tM disagreements with the policy of tho
; department of justice, charged the at
1 ' tomey with "an apparent misconcep
tion of the duties of the department of
justice in the enforcement of the laws
as written." For that reason, Mr. Pal-
i mer wrote Attorney Kane that he was
"bound to say that your resignation
I seems to me to bo quite the proper
! ' step for you to take " i
'I Attorney General Palmer In his let- :
I tcr said the socialist party of Ameri
; ca early in 1919 was rent with dissen- !
: sion caused by certain elements with- 1
i : Ing its organization," which caused re
; , course to mass action as the means to
j obtain the reforms considered neces- ,
! sary by them, a plan which was con- !
: trary to tho fundamental principles .
j of socialism, as I understand them, !
which advocated the obtaining of re- ,
forms through the ballot and bv po-j!
! litical action." "
ITvo Parties Formed.
"This dissension in the ranks of
the socialist party," he continued, "re
sulted on September 1, 1919, in the cre
ation of two organizations namely,
the communist party of America and
ti the communist labor party. Immedi
ately upon the formation of the com
munist parties a program and mani
festo were adopted by these parties,
based upon the manifesto of the Third
international, adopted on March 6 at
3 Moscow. As specifically stated in tho
manifesto of the third international
and its program, the accomplishments
1 of Its aims was not to be reached by
merely the conquest of the political
; power of the so-called bourgeoisie
. state, but was to be reached by tho
destruction of thb state. Further in
; the same manifesto, we find enunci
i ated the principle that in order to
achieve tho aims of the proletariat,
it will be necessary to annihilate tho
enemies' apparatus of government,
namely, its police, jailers, judges,
priests, government officials and oth
ers." It was because, Mr.. Palmer wrote,
of the adoption of this manifesto bv
the communist parties in the United
; Slates as their program of action, and
because of these parties' desire to
: make the industrial unrest in this
l- country "more general and militant"
fthat the raids were conducted.
Regarding the procedure followed in
the deportation of an alien, the attor
ney general stated that he had failed
to find any instance In which an in
justice had been done an alien.

BIG MONEY
FOR HIGHWAYS
Copies of the "Townseud hill,"
which plans to create a federal high
way commission and provides for the
expenditure of $425,000,000 for the
construction of a national highway
system during the next five years, un
der the supervision of the commission,
jhave reached tie office of the state
road commission. Tho bill is at pres
'ent awaiting tho action of congress.
If passed, it will be known as the
national highway act.
As first presented to congress, the
'bill was regarded with disfavor in
I some section of the United States.
Since then tho bill has been redrawn
'and. it is declared, "strengthened by
the adoption of sound suggestions to
'meet the requirements of all sections
I of the country." Assurance is given1
I by the federal highway council that
'iii. Its presont form the measure will
be pressed to a definite action as firm
ly and consistently as legislative con
ditions will warrant.
In providing for a national highway
system, connecting onch state, it Isj
stipulated that the system shall not
'includo any highway in a municipality!
having a population, as shown by the
latest available census, of 5000 or
more. It is provided that the portion
of ihe national highway system in
each state shall equal 1 per cent of
the total highway mileage used as
such in the state, as ascertained by
such 1 per cent will not suffice to en
able tho national highway system to
afford at least two highways connect
ing with national highways in adojin
ing states, tho commission shall in
crease the mileage of the national
system sufficiently to provide two
such highways.
The commission will be authorized
to select as part of the national high
way system any highway already con
structed which accords with a stan
dard deemed by the commission to be
adequate for present and probablo fu
ture traffic, or which, in the opinion of
the commission, can be reconstructed
to accord with such standard. Tho
commission shall value tho reproduc
tion cost of any such highway at cur
rent prices and wages and shall con-
c; f Tl 1 o t or mov Mni"m( -n-W l- (U e,4-.
highway department for the construc
tion of other highways connecting and
correlating with the national system,
a mileage equal in value to the high
way selected. In other words, should
the Arrowhoad trail be selected as one
of the Utah highways of the national
system, that part of it already paved
ml3ht, if the national commission so
approves, be appraised as to Its re
construction cost and the money so
saved to the national highway commis
sion bo used In constructing other
roads In this state connecting with the
(national highway system.
No money is to be spent in any state
by the national highway commission
until the legislature of the state as
sents to the -provisions of tho national
highway act, and to the taking over
by the national commission of existing
state roads or rights of way as a part
of, the national system. Until the fi
nal session of the legislature held af
ter regular session of the legislature
held after the act takes effect the as
sent of the governor of the state shall
be sufficient to authorize such expen
ditures. ! The commission Is charged with the
duty of building only durable types of
roads, in consideration of present and
future probable traffic. No right of
way shall be less than sixty-six feet
.wide nor shall the wearing surface
be less than twenty feet wide. The
state of Utah Is at present using an
eignteen foot pavement, and plans to
use a nine-foot pavement on portions
of the Arrowhead trail constructed
south from Nephi.
j The $425,000,000 is to be available
as follows: Fifty million dollars imme-j
diately upon passage of tho act; $75,
000,000 for the fiscal year beginning
July 1 next, and $100,000,000 a year for
each of the three years following. Af
ter deducting not more than 5 per cent
las the cost of administering tho fund,
land such additional amounts as may
bo necessary for maintenance the com
mission shall annually appropriate tho
remainder of each appropriation
among the stales In the ratio that the
mileage selected in each state bears
to the total mileage selected in all
states. If the money Is not spent
within five years after being made
l available it shall revert to the treas
ury. I The bill provides that the national
highway commission shall be compos
'ed of five members, appointed, after
I the first commission is formed, for
I five-year terms, at $10,000 per annum.
Appointments are by the president,
subject to confirmation by tho senate,
and must be made with due regard to
representation of all the geographical
'divisions of the country.

The amounts contributed to the Mor
mon Battalion monument fund have
not yet reached the quota required, es
pecially In tho rural dlstricts-
To increaso this fund and to give
Weber county a clean record it is re
quested that a dancing party be given
in each ward Friday evening, January
30. Such a party is being given
throughout the stale in memory of the
staunch services of the Mormon Bat
talion. The committee says:
"We cannot afford to overlook the
just desserts of these pioneer soldiers.
They blazed the trail, served our coun
try fully and helped to add to its do
main nearly 6,000,000 square miles.
Their march was one of valor and
hardship. Many of the benefits now
enjoyed come lo us through the strug
gles of this worthy soldier band.
"Jt would bo regrettable, indeed,
were we to fail in securing the amount
prescribed for Weber county. With the
proper enthusiasm exhibited the coun
ty will certainly go over the top.
"When the monument Is completed
you will view it with pride both be
cause you havo contributed to it and
helped thereby to embalm in marble
the deeds of these pioneer patriots."

SOME DONTS.
Don't speed the car for tho firs. 700
miles. Your speed should not exceed
twenty-five miles per hour.
Don't force the car on hills or heavy
pulls.
Don't forget to become acquaintea
with traffic and road rules, and obey
them. They are made to protect and
help you.
Don't forget that the storage bat
tery needs attention. Examine the
cells for distilled water every two
woeks.
Don't neglect tho tires- Carry an
I air gauge In the car and keep your
I tires inflated to proper pressure,
j Don't fail to examine tho steering
connections. A serious accident Is like
ly to happen should they come loose
or fall apart.
n't' rei 4 i
uuni irfji iu yive yuur cw u regular
I inspection in a way of locating loose
i bolts and nuts, particularly when new.
j Don't forgot the top. Dust ir. off
! occasionally to preserve the material.
Don't shift the gears carelessly.
Push clutch pedal as far back as It will
go and disengage tho gears gently.
Don't attempt to filo tho contact
points or adjust a relay. Take it to
an experienced electrician. Don't ever
race the motor.
Don't 'attempt to drive a car unless
you know what you are doing.
Don't forget to apply the emergency
'brakes before leaving your car.
Don't forget the clutch must be dis
engaged whenever brakes are put on
or gears shifted.
Don't tamper with adjustments on
your carburetor unless you aro thor
oughly experienced. Take it to your
dealer.
Don't attempt to reverse the car un
til it has come to a dead stop or you
will damage tho gears, possibly break
up entire transmission housing.
Don't attempt to change a tiro from
a rim with which you are unfamiliar.
Serious accidents have occurred be
cause of improper locking, resulting
in their flying off when the tire has
been inflated.
Dos't fail to removo the mud from
the new car as soon as possible. If
left on it will ruin the finish.

Friendly Relations
With Italy Affirmed
HOME, Friday, Jan. 23. Newspaper
opinion on Premier Nlttl's journey to

friendliest relations have been re-established
with tho allies and that En

together for tho attainment of mutual
interests. The first result of this un
derstanding is seen in the support
given by tho allies to Italy's latest
proposal regarding the Adriatic ques
tion. It is believed hore this question
will reach a final solution within a few
days if Franco and England can make
Jugo-Slovla understand it is Impos

that she must either accept the com
promise suggested by Signor Nitti or
