GOOD ROADS LEGISLATION.

An era o froad improvement is at
hand and all sorts OF road laws and
road building schemes must be reck.
oned with shortly, The railroads,
the manufacturers Of buggieS, auto.
mobiles, bicycles, and all kinds of
transportation concerns have begun
to interest themselves in this subject,
aud the National aud State Good
Roads Associations are 10 large meas
ure the result Of such influence. But
whatever the source and whatever
the motive all should rejoice that
road improvement is being preached.
The Good Roads Association will
introduce in the next legislature four
bills-the first, providing for the pay.
ment Of all road taxesin money; the
the second, creating the ONCE of
state highway commissioner: the
third, providing for state aid In per-
manent road building; and the fourth.
for the employment Of most Of the
able-bodied convicts in the peniten-
tiary 10 the preparation Of macadam
to be furnished by the state at cost
There is some merit 10 all Of these
proposed bills 1t can hardly be con-
tended that the plan Of "working OUT

According to the daily papers the
Investigation being conducted by Jas.
A. Reed before special Commissioner
John L. Harding Of the action Of the
Jackson County Court in the letting
Of road contracts has given rise to a
grounded suspicion that the Jackson
County Court may deserve to go down
10 history with zeigenhein's city
council. In spite OF the efforts of an
army or attorneys to exclude every
form Of evidence sought to be intro
duced and in spite Of the refusal Of
the County Clerk to produce his
books in evidence, it was shown that
more than a quarter of a million dol
lars Of contracts were let without ad-
vertisement for bids, without compe-
titive bidders, and 10 at least one
case without any record of contract
further than the courts order for the
payment Of money to the firm of Col
yer Bros. Sc far as shown every pri-
vate contract made by the court was
made with COlyer Bros, and it was
shown that in some cases the court
made contracts with Colyer Bros for
very small amounts of work, at low
prices, by competitive bidding and
then privately granted large extern
sions of these contracts at nearly
double the price. These are only a
few Of the astonishing revelations Of
this inquiry, The people will be I'M
willing to believe that there is no de-
Tense on the part of the court, though
it is bard to see how there can be.
This court was elected by the people
with the knowledge that it would
have vast sums Of money on its hand

1t will not be surprising II the people
are found TO be ready for this change.
There is no room for doubt as to
the desirableness OF creating the
office Of state highway commissioner,
whose duty It would be to collect and
publish statistics OF road construc
tion, grading, matchmaking, oillng;
TO acquaint local officials Of the solu-
ton Of engineering difficulties and
the experience Of other and older
states; to collate the experiences OF
the several counties for their mutual

is vastly more demand for a state

intend to do anything about our roads,

it can be shown to be feasible; but

COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Lexington ought to have a Com.
mercial Club, or, under whatever
name, some sort Of permanent or
%ganization Of the business and pro.
%fessional men of the place. There
are scores of things that need to be
done and can be done only through
such organizations. For instance the
well-being Of Lexington requires that
there should be another train on the
river route. 1t is not improbable
that proper representation of the
matter to the railroad officials and
proper pressure brought to hear
would obtain for US this needed &C.
commondation. 1t is impossible to
believe that the railroad company
would be deaf to the earnest In.
sistance of the people Of the most
important shipping point on its lines
between St. Louis and Kansas City.
1t is impossible to believe that it
would refuse to establish this double
service at least experimentally. We
grumble individually, but we have
never seriously tried to better our
condition in this matter and in such
matters.
AS a passenger station Lexington is
a more important point than any
station on the main line including
Jefferson City, yet there is no plat.
form as the Lexington station and
the approaches are worse than at the
barn OF any really first class farmer
In the county. The station itself is
bad enough, but the surroundings
would be a disgrace to Waterloo or
Hodge. Yet we do nothing about
1t and we even say nothing about It.
1t may or 1t may not be the duty Of
the railroad to improve the ap
proaches for the buses and carriages.
nobody appears to think enough
about it to know. But the traveller
who gets into a bus at the station
when there is snow or sleet on the
ground takes mis- life in his hand; for
he is 10 imminent danger of being
landed in a deep ravine before the
vehicle can be turned aud gain a safe
footing. The road between the
freight and passenger depots needs to
be graded and macadamized. But
Nobody knows whether the railroad
purposes to maintain the station at
It's present location, or whether il is
expecting soon to move 1t to Myrick,
or whether Il is just waiting for 1t to
rot down. Perhaps the city council
is waiting to do It's part in this mat.
ter until it discovers what the railroad
company is going to do. But the
course OF many years 1t ought to have
drowned upon us that the railroad
company is not going to do anything
unless we show a reasonable amount
