DELEGATES FROM ALL OVER THE
STATE
Will Meet and Discuss this Import
ant Subject. with n View Mainly
Towards Securing Legisiatton
The suggestion that the Governor
call a State Board Convention, came
from the Press Association meeting at
seattle, last September, which adopted
a resolution, introduced by J. ii. Jones,
OF the Nook sack Reporter, asking the
executive OF the State to call "A con-
vcn;ion to discuss this important mat
ter
Acting Governor Luce, in the alb
sence of Gov. McGraw, issued circu-
lar letter advocating State Conven-
ton with a suggestion that the Com
missioners OF each county appoint
delegates from those who might have
enough public spirit to act without
compensation, as no provision had
been made by law for payment OF such
services. The response has been quite
general, under the circumstances, 10
of the 81 counties having appointed
delegates who have promised to attend.
The aggregate number so far is ll9,
and this will probably be increased
before the day appointed-next Tues
day, the 10Th inst.
The sessions of the Convention will
be held in the Capitol building, and
the meeting will be called to order by
Gov. McGraw. 1t is expected that
some basis for securing adequate roads
will be agreed upon. In this respect
our county is far behind the old gov
ernments of Europe. which have ma
lcadamized roads that affords COM
munication with the business marts
at the most inclement season of the
wear. The matter has not received
attention from government and State
simply because its importance has
been overlooked. Agitation will elicit
thought, and thought WILL solve the
problem, as it invariably does, by APP
plication of the rules OF sound bust
ness policy.
