order Monday at 2:3O p. III. Cooper
amended to Thursday next same

house. The appointing of road
masters got many unfit men in Of
flee. The bill does away with the
labor tax which yielded no good re
suits in roads, but proposes tax Of
tour mills instead. Grading ma
chimes are provided to do the work
before the ground gets hard and
such a machine will do as much
road work as thirty or forty teams
with plows and scrapers. The
roads are to be uniform in plan
built of gravel with culverts of
stone where practicable. TrulliDger
wanted a good strong road law.
Baughman said the people were
now taxed 70 to 30 mills county and
state taxes. This law would create
four mills additional taxes. There
fore he opposed 1t. The whole
trouble with the present law WAS In
the selection of proper. pen to over

cessions in order to get better law.
