A NEW ROAD LAW


The trial of road graders ut Mexico
this week, brought together the stat,
board of agriculture, Governor Fran.
els, members of several county courts,
and numerous road commissioners and
road oyerseers. 1t may be that nothing
will come of it, but the chances are
that in the discussion that results in
these meetings, the exchange OF
thought and ideas that follow, that
very much good will be derived.
One thing must of necessity must
he impressed upon the minds of the
people and through them upon the
minds of the state Legislators, and that
is that we have no efficient road law in
Missouri.
A radical change in the laws should
be made.
The working of all roads, and keep
ing of small bridges and culverts in
repair should be by contract, the con
tractor to he bonded, and his work
subject to the approval Of the road
commissioner.
The law providing for road work by
road overseers has been tried, but has
resulted in failure whenever and
wherever tried.
The work by contractor would prove
to be less expensive, after the roads
were once put in good condition, and
would be much more satisfactory.
1t is probable that Governor Francis
will call the state Legislature in session
this winter ia divide the state up into
congressional districts. He should
embrace in the call Il suggestion that Il
new road law would be in order.

Joe p. Johnston in his address before
the Missouri Press ASSOCIATION, on the
Independent Press, did not draw any
distinction between the truly ~independ-
ent and the non-partisan newspaper.
And yet there is q vast difference. The
non-partisan paper is one that is to
politics what an Ishmaelite was to
society. But a partisan paper may be
independent and yet strictly true to
political principle. Indeed, the most
slavish thing imaginable is a news
paper that simply swallows, like a
Young robbin, everything that is put
into its mouth. A manly independ-
ence is not more becoming anywhere
han in a partisan press.
