He was born and reared on a farm in Thornton Township, knows the needs of his District and if renominated and elected he will again represent the People of his District to the best of his ability. He is the 'Propper' man in the proper place, at the proper time, and should be renominated and elected upon his record. French Bond Payments to Aid Highway Construction A bill authorizing the creation of a special highway fund from the pro- ceeds of the sale of $407,341,145 worth of surplus highway equipment and war materials sold to France following the war has been introduced in the Senate by Senator James E. Watson of Indi- ana. The measure, providing this huge sum of money for highway construc- tion, stipulates the funds are to be apportioned among the 48 states in the same proportion as the Federal-aid pro- gram. It is a companion bill to one introduced in the House on January 30 by Representative Edward E. Browne, and which has already been endorsed by the Governors and State Highway departments of twenty states. The measure, which is being fostered by the American Motorists associa- tion, is unique in that it will add nothing to the tax-payers' burden, as the funds are to be secured solely through the payment of French bonds which will mature August 1, 1929 and which were given in payment of more than $2,000,000,000 worth of equipment and supplies. TO DON FRESHMAN GREEN The freshmen girls at Northwestern university now have definitely decided after weeks spent in careful investi- gation of campus sentiments, that the proverbial green will hereafter be worn not only by the men but by themselves. A gardenia in a most de- licate shade of green and of regular size will serve in the future to identify the freshmen co-eds. JOINS KROLL-SMITH J. W.

EMMERSON STRESSES TAX REFORM PROGRAM Candidate for Governor Receives Tremendous Welcome in Downstate Meetings Stressing tax reform as a direct means of relief for the over-taxed landowner, Louis L. Emmerson, Re- publican candidate for Governor, this week wound up his downstate cam- paign. Next week he will come to Cook county for the final fortnight before the primary April 10. Accompanied by Attorney-General Oscar Carlstrom, candidate for re- e'action, and Otis F. Glenn, candidate for the United States senate, Emmer- son spoke at Watseka, Paxton, Hoopeston and Danville on Monday. His itinerary for the rest of the week included: Tuesday, Monticello and Clinton; Wednesday, DeKalb, Ro- chelle, Oregon, Dixon and Sterling; Thursday, Polo, Mt. Carroll, Savannah, Galena, Stockton and Rockford; Fri- day, Belvidere, Marengo, Harvard, Woodstock, Crystal Lake and Kane county points. Saturday night Emmerson will be at Peoria. All of the "Big Three" have been amazed at the size of the crowds at their meetings. At each appearance there has been a capacity audience which cheered the Secretary of State as the next Governor and Carlstrom and Glenn as the next Attorney-Gen- eral and Senator, respectively. This response on the part of voters throughout Illinois has been inter- preted by Rodney H. Brandon, chair- man of the Emmerson campaign, as evidence of a revolt, "which promises to be a stampede" for the Emmerson ticket at the primary, April 10.
