A great deal of dissatisfaction is expressed

for building public roads. The trouble with
all these so called reforms is that they are
not practicable. The county people know

they haye the working experience and ii
does not need experts to find out such things
If this money was expended directly on
the roads we would have better results-lhat
something should be done about roads of the

state or nation or county, get rid of toll
gates what blessing it would be, these are

JOE LETTER. Under the relief banner
which has been raised in many counties in
Kansas by farmers who consider themselves
friends by indirection of Jos, Letter, the
ex- wheat king, are rallying hosts of men
who have profited by the higher wheat prices
that marked his regime.
The plan to give Letter small proportion
Of the receipts from the sale of Kansas wheat
this year met with wide favor as soon as it
was preached, and the interest in the scheme
lie growing rapidly.
Proponents of the Letter benefit project
estimate that if the young Spectator be
given one cent for each bushel of wheat
raised in Kansas this year he will receive on
the assumption that the tota! crop will be
about e5, 100000. the round sum of $3.50, 900.
| In several of the counties many leading
farmers have already agreed to give their
share and the men at the head Of the move
ment believe unanimity of contributions can
be insured. Some contributions have already
been pledged
Joseph Letter has expressed no opinion as
yet on the move to aid him financially. Levi
T. Letter, his father maintained his an
nounced determination to make no remark
of any kind on the subject. No opposition
from any quarter has been manifested.
