Governor White has welded the AK
without fear in disposing of several
bills that we're passed BY the legisla-
ture ard among them was the Darst
measure reducing the license tax on
money brokers from 800 to $50. which
the governor saws does not cover the
business for which it was intended.
Another Il that met with an early
death was the bin providing for the
formation Of corporations for the nur-
pose of generating power by the means
of water and the transmission of the
same by electricity. The governor
states this is covered by a former act,
The anti claim agent bill which was
declared unconstitutional by the attor-
ney general was also vetoed by the
governor.
Mr.. White has the happy faculty of
doing what he believes to be in the
right direction without eounseling
with those who assume great know
ledge but are deficient in that lire.
For this exhibition of backbone the
governor has made some enemies in
quarters, where he need care little,
but or the other hand he has received
the pludits of the honest thinking peo-
pile.

question of good roads naturally

The methods of our grand faith

intelligent working of the public
highways for generations, nay
centuries, has proven a waste of

that the best results may be OBJ

ed men supervise the building
and repairs of our public roads.
With that end in sight, would it
not be we'll to train county SUI

under the direction of a master
road builder? When the county
officials have assembled let the
