There are fierce hatred and savage tragedy be-
meath the prosac Ives of the sa.t-makers among

that he has given before to tracing the elements

There will then be a weeks time in
which voters can study the blanket ballot.
mark it as desired, and thereby be pre-
pared to rapidly and without error
stamp the official ballot when in the
voting booth. There need, therefore
be no blundering by any one. If a
voter has sufficient intelligence to check
off grocery list of household supplies.
he can intelligently mark his ballot
when in the booth. He has only 10 re-
member that he must not use pencil
pen or outside marking implement. but
must use the official stamp to be found
in each booth and a light pressure of
which will make the X clear and strong
upon the paper. He must put this X in
the square provided opposite to the
name voted for. In the constitutional
amendment proposition squares, the
voter will find "Yes'' and ''No" printed,
On one or the other of these he must
stamp the X. To stamp neither will
simply lose the elector his vote on the
proposition.

Ter inches, in this case depressions that
should have been filled with earth and
packed were actually filed with broken
stone, SO that the depth of road metal on
that highway to-day is from six to
! twenty inches-and the people pay the
! piper. That is to say, upon that
stone road there is metal enough used
IN one mile to build two miles or
more of excellent permanent smooth
roadway.
1t is small wonder that taxpayers groan
anu landowners lament when public
1unds are thus thrown away, not through
"lllfulness, but through the blind folly of
ignorance. When, as has been done over
ana over again in this city, coarse stone
has been dumped into street depressions
upon an old bed of gravel, itself resting
On loose sand. it is no wonder that the
people express surprise at the result and
protest against the willful waste. For
there is nothing better known to road
builders than this: that such placing of
broken stone results in it's pushing down
through the gravel bed and forcing up
ward the coarser round stone of the
gravel, leaving the roadway in deplor-
| able condition.
80, too, broken granite of the Folsom
variety has been over and over again
nH inf Sft IL
mento. when every road-builder knows
that such granite so disposed will not
pack or make road roof, but will make
road seiye, until it is ground into dust
and blown into the housewives windows,
or converted into mud, to be raked up
and hauled away at so much load at the
taxpayers cost.
What we need in Sacramento and in
every county in this State, is a High
way or Road Engineer, 20 serve the
county at stated salary. Such an
officer in each of the counties will save
to taxpayers from so to 40 per cent. of all
expenditure upon streets and roads. Of
the S690,0 spent on roads in San Ber-
nardino County, the 100000 in Sacra-
mento, the S420,O 900 in Santa Barbara, and
similar sums in most other counties in
the last ten years, it is demonstrable that
not 10 per cent. of the accomplishment by
such expenditure now remains, and not
% per cent. of it was of any practical
value to the people in the first place.
Some $l600O,0OO have been wasted in
California in the last ten years in this
way. Just how much longer the drain is
to go on depends upon the people, who
have it in their power to require of the
Legislature at least one State Road
Engineer, whose duty should be to ad-
wise the officials of the counties how to
build roads, from earth to clay, sand to
gravel and gravel to macadam, as may be
desired. Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
other States have such servants and find
their employment to be money-saving
investment. Certainly no road system
could be more wasteful than that we
have in California, in fact it is pitifully,
lamentably weak and improvident.
