Good Roads

The State Board Of Agriculture
has inaugurated a campaign for bet
ter roads in this state that is meet
ing with the approval Of farmers
and business men and which will, IL
carried TO completion, give to Mis-
uriso a road system second to no
other state in the Union. A Good
Roads Convention, continuing for
four days and which was partici-
pated in by some of the best authori-
ties in this and other states was
held in Chillicothe, recently, and
was attended by several thousand
people including more than two
hundred regularly appointed dele
gates sent by county courts and
commercial organizations Of nearly
every county in north Missouri.
The sentiments Of the Convention
are expressed in the following reso-
lutions which were unanimously
adopted:
Missouri. the fourth state in the
American Union in wealth and pop
ulation and the first in potential re-
sources, demands and should have q
system of public highways fully adj
equate TO her necessities. IL Is
therefore resolved br the Good
Rhads convention held at Chillicothc
under the auspices Il the State
Board Of Agriculture, September
3-S, as follows:
First. We favor the creation by
the next general Assembly of the
Office Of State Highway Engineer,
under the jurisdiction Of the State
Board Of Agriculture to cooperate
with the local offices in the further
ance Of good roads.
Second. To provide an adequate
number Of trained men for the super
vision Of road construction in the
various localities Of this state, 1--WE
recommend the immediate estab-
lishmcnt Of n course in Road Engine
ering and the equipment Of n suit
able laboratory for the testing Of
road materials NJ the State Univer-
lily ~ Columbia.
Third. All the people Of the
state being interested in and bene-
fitted by n better system Of high
ways, state aid should be extended
10 the various counties for the con-
struction and improvement Of the
public roads, such state aid being
provided from new sources of rev.
enue other than those now existing
or in the treasury.
Fourth Redress from the pres
ent distressing situation in road
maintenance and construction can
only come through judicial changes
in our state constitution, and such
changes being possible more quickly
and more surely by the adoption Of
n new constitution covering adequ-
ate sources of revenue Than by any
amendment TO the present c~onstitu-
top, we therefore strongly urge
upon the Legislature the calling Of a
constitutional convention at the ear
Hest possible moment.
Fifth. We strongly endorse the
Drag as the most effective and prac-
ticai method of maintaining dirt
roads and would suggest that some
law be enacted whereby its more
general employment for this pur-
pose may be affected.
