STATE TO PAVE NATIONAL ROAD TO TERRE HAUTE

Project Starting Here First Link in Great System of Market Highways. From the Ohio lino east of Richmond to the Illinois line west of Terre Haute, along the National road, is to run the first great paved state highway to be built by the new state highway commission and the federal government, declared Senator Luke W. Duffey, author of the highway commission law, In Indianapolis Tuesday night. Construction of the road will b ftarted this summer, said the senator Tuesday, after a conference with Governor Goodrich. The governor made known the Intention of making the National Road the first unit of a great system of main market highways. "Governor Goodrich told me," said Mr. Duffy, "that the paving of the National road from Richmond to Terre Haute will be done during the com

ing summer and that It will be done

under the supervision of the State Highway Commission, and the work will also be supervised by an expert engineer representing the Federal government. This road will be constructed as a permanent, durable highway and Its construction will be of the best. ' Government to Pay. "Cost of completing this project will be paid for mostly out of money appropriated by the government. This project Is only a unit In a program of

highway building that will ultimately connect every county seat with Im

proved highway.

"From my conversation with the

governor, I understand that army motor trucks Indiana's share that is soon to be distributed among the various states of the union, will be utilized in the construction of the National road In transporting road materials, thus eliminating endless delays In the delivery of needed material." This announcement is taken as meaning a sudden change In the plans of the state administration, relating to road construction work. About a week ago Governor Goodrich announced that he would recommend no road building projects so long as the cost of road building materials remained high. Since then, however, the Industrial Board of Federal Department of Commerce has arranged for a reduction in freight rates on all roads and has obtained a promise of revision downward in prices from material manufacturers. Probable Cost of Road. It is believed that this project will entail a cost aggregating between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. Abutting land owners, under the provisions of the new state highway law, are not assessed for the costs of the improvement, except In the same ratio as other land owners. The present road runs through 150 miles of level country and carries more traffic possibly than any other highway in the central Btates. Engineers representing the State Highway Commission and the government will be on the Job from the time the work starts until it is completed, according to Senator Duffey. Labor Council to Nominate Men for State Officers ' i Central Labor Council will nominate candidates for offices in the state federation of labor at its meeting Thursday night in Luken's hall.

Each council Is permitted to nominate its candidates for elections in Che state federation.

FINANCIAL DANGER NOT SERIOUS FOR ALLIED NATIONS

(T3y Associated Press) PARIS, March 26. Persistent ru

mors that all Europe is on the verge of a financial collapse are not justi

fied by the facts, a prominent American financial expert, who has been en

gaged for many months in studying the problems facing the peace conference, said in a statement Tuesday.

Conditions are serious, he added,

but not panicy, and will doubtless be relieved greatly when peace is signed and the embargoes lifted. He predict

ed that England will be stronger with

in a year than ever before, because of her unusual commercial enterprise, and the courage with which she meets

her debts by taxation. Discussing France, the financier said that the situation was unsatisfactory because the government does

not levy heavy enough taxation and, consequently, the moneyed classes have more money than ever before, while the government is nearly bankrupt.

Right Bank of Rhine Is

Held Essential to France

(By Associated Press) PARIS, Tuesday, March 25 "The right bank of the Rhine must not belong to Prussia," said Henry Franklin-Bouillon, former minister of missions abroad, in a bitter speech against what he charged was the dilatoriness of the allies and the silence of the government delivered in the chamber of deputies this afternoon. The right bank of the Rhine" continued the deputy, "must serve no more as a base for Prussian aggressions against France. We ask this Indispensable minimum and it is our right to exact it "The silence of the government and its other methods have culminated in the maximum of unrest in the country and the maximum of anarchy outside of it. Germany begins to raise her head. It was with anguish that we learned that France had not exacted the disarmament of Germany and that it was England who was obliged to seek to disarm Germany for the benefit of France."
