REPUBLICAN CONGRESS MARKING TIME TOPICS 14 BRIEF "Joshua commanded the sun to stand still in order that he might fight the battles of the Lord, and the sun obeyed. Will Hays, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, has command ed this congress to stand still for the purpose of political expediency, and it has obeyed." This was the assertion made on the floor of the house by Rep resentative Robert L. Doughton in attacking the failure of the Re publican majority to aid the farmer to feed the world by carrying out the rural good roads program initiated by recent Democratic congresses. " Mr. Doughton pointed out the "vital connection between good roads and farming and the still more vital connection between farm ing and the high' cost of living," and denounced a "penny-wise and pound-foolish- economy bound to work great injury to the entire country," asserting that "what we need to do is to encourage and stimulate and not discourage those engaged in the most important of all pursuits, that of raising food for our own people and the hungry nations of the world. He pointed out that the Democratic sixty-third congress in augurated a comprehensive good roads program providing federal aid for states that agreed to stand a proportionate share of eon struction, and that the last congress, also Democratic, had increased the total to the extent of $275,000,000 being available during the period of 1917-21. ly contrast he asserted that the present Repub lican congress has done nothing, and in addition has held up a bill directing the Avar department to turn over to the highway authori ties of the various states road making material, machinery, etc "It would be interesting to know why this legislation has been so long delayed," said Mr. Doughton. "Is it possible that it is be ing strangled for political expediency, or has the Republican nation al chairman given orders that it musf be killed by long delay! If this kind of tactics is to be continued by a Republican congress, then Mr. Hays will need to offer more than $10,000 for some one who can write a satisfactory platform, and need to appoint a larger advisory committee than that already appointed, containing 171 members. You need not be deceived, the people will not be mocked. "The farmers of the country know what party has given them substantial relief by the enactment of .numerous pieces of legisla tion and so forth, bringing more favorable conditions to those en gaged in agriculture. But when they ask relief or help in any way of this congress they are confronted with the response that every thing most be subordinated to 'economy.' When the people ask bread they are given a stone. "Political expediency is the governing policy of this congress and has been since the day it first assembled. Instead of consider ing first the needs of all the people, the needs of the Republican party in the coming campaign are given the right of way. "As the matter now stands the last appropriation for carrying on the work of road building expires at the end of the fiscal year 1 1921, and the department of agriculture and the bureau of roads do 1 not know whether to go ahead with plans for the future. If this I congress intends to continue the splendid work now in progress it j should by appropriate legislation extend the present road, building plan, or one similar, for a period of at least three years so the burr au j of roads can go ahead with its work.

SUMMONS la the District Court of the First Judi cial District of the State of Nevada la and for the County of Onnsby. MAYME T. LITTLE, Plaintiff, vs. JAMES FRANK LITTLE, Defendant The State of Nevada Sends Greetings to James frrank Little, Defendant: You are hereby summoned to appear within ten davs after the service upon you of this summons, if served in said county, or within twenty days if serv- d out of said countv, but within the district in which the action is brought, and in all other cases within forty days (exclusive of the day of service), and defend the above entitled action, or judgment will be taken against you by default, according to the prayer of said complaint. Mr. Lansing's successor in the department of state is a forceful personality, "progressive in his tendencies and judging from his past not apt to work well in harness. lie has had no special training for the technical side of his com ing work, and for some time to come must lean hard on his subordi nates. Ills past experience has been of a kind to fit him for recon struction within the department, work much needed, but not made any easier by congressional parsimony. Secretary Colby will take office at a time peculiarly critical in national history and grave in its international aspects. He also will be handicapped by having to follow a man for whom just now there is general sympathy owing to the manner of his going from the de partment. Washington should welcome Secretary . Colby to his high post with full appreciation of his past able service in other civic fields, and with a hope that he may rise to meet the future adequately, He has been suddenly summoned to duties that he seems to realize are such as he never faced before. A sense of. fair play character istic of the American people will assert his right to a chance to make good. Washington Herald. SUFFRAGISTS NEED THREE MORE STATES Thirty-three states have 'ratified the woman suffrage amend ment, and thirty-six are needed. The matter came before the house of delegates of West Virginia yesterday, and as that state is favorably disposed, the amendment is expected to pass both houses early this week. Sentiment is favorable in the state of Washington, and strong hope is entertained of favorable action in Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware and North Carolina. Tennessee, which has granted wom an's suffrage in presidential and municipal elections, is prohibited by its constitution from acting on the amendment for another year. The states that have rejected the" amendment, or which the suf fragists regard as hopeless, are Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, Louisiana and Florida. SHOULD COMMENCE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN The Greater Carson Club and the El Dorado County Chafnber of Commerce should unite in the mtusion ot new life in the See Lake Tahoe First Association. There is no merit in the contention that there is no road at present across the state of Nevada to enable westbound tourists to reach the shore of the lake with any degree of comfort, because the Lincoln Highway is open to summer travel and $425,000 is avail able for its improvement the present year. A comprehensive advertising campaign for this route should be undertaken without further delay. :PIacerville Mountain Democra. AS OTHERS SEE US A stranger judges a town mainly by its appearance.
