There is unquestionably a sentiment
prevailing among those who are posted
on road matters in Montana that there
should be a change in the system of road
management in this state. The large
amount annually raised by taxation for
road purposes, is to a large extent wasted.
The engineers have been looking into the
matter somewhat through their state or
ganization, having appointed a committee
to prepare and recommend necessary
changes in the system. OF this commit
tee +. II. Mcneil. county surveyor of
jefferson, is the chairman, and in a re-
cent report made by him and his asso-
ciates, il is stated that 100000 are an
nually expended for repairs of roads in
this state without any apparent result in
the improvement in roads. This is GER

Because of an editorial in the STANDARD
criticizing some of the official acts of the
school trustees in Butte. n member has
introduced n resolution excluding the re-
porter OF that paper from meetings of the
board until full and complete editorial
apology is made. A previous school board
in Butte made an attempt to bar all re-
porters from its sessions and il proved
such dismal failure that II was glad TO
remove the ban. The fact is that the
public is entitled TO know of all the off
cial acts of ITS representative servants,
and this can only be done through the
medium of the newspaper; therefore. an
effort to abrldGe the right or duty of the
paper IN the matter always recoils upon
