We congratulate the Legislature

we want to say just here and now
that we shall oppose all and any fur
ther appropriations for any exposi-
tion anywhere. II our State, after
meeting all its just demands. has any
surplus in the treasury, any money
1T can spare, we favor that it shall in
some way or by some method be ex-
pended in the Improvement and bet
terment OF our public roads in our
counties. A State road commission
could be legislated into existence. and
under the supervision and manage.
ment of this commission this money
could be so expended. However. we
are not tied down to the WINS and
wherefores we only favorsomes scheme
any scheme or plan by which our
roads can be bettered and improved
and If there is in the future any money
which the State does not need for III
Just and legitimate demands we favor
some plan whereby the State can let
this money out TO the counties to be
used for public road improvement.
Governor Montague sees the impera
tive need of all this. We commend
him for the active interest he has
taken in this behalf, and we trust he
will devise some plan for general
road Improvement and submit that
plan to the General Assembly for its
action. No more money should be
legislated out Of the treasury for ex-
positions as long AS ourroads expose
