In replying to Rubey's challenge,
Chairman Niedringhaus said the Re-

pletely outlined and arranged; that
at this late date he was unwilling to
make any departure from 1t.
Although Mr.. Nisdringhaus was

FOR BETTER STATE ROADS.



es New Constitution.
The State Board OF Agriculture
has insugurated a campaign for bet
ter roads In this state shat is meet
ing with the approval Of farmers
and business men and which will, n
carried to completion, give to Mis-
souri, road system second to no
other state in the Union. A Good
Roads Convention, continuing for
four days and which was participat.
ed in by some Of the best authorities
In this and other states. was held In
Chill!co.he, September 81. and was
attended by several thousand people
including more than two hundred
regularly appointed delegates sent
by county courts and commercial
organizations oinearly every county
in north Missouri. The sentiments
OF the Convention are expressed In
the following resolutions which were
unanimously adopted:
Missour the fourth state in the
American Union In wealth and popu-
lstion and the Arst in potential re-
sources, demands and should have u
system Of public highways fully ad-
| equate to her necessities. 1t is there.
fore resolved by the Good Roads
eeHpentieH held at Chillieethe under
the auspices OF the State board OF
Agriculture, September 8 8, as fol-
lows:
First. We favor the creation, by
the next General Assembly, Of the Of
fee Of State Highway Engineer, un-
der 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, we
recommend the immediate establish
ment Of a course In Road Engineer
ing and the equipment Of suitable
laboratory for the testing Of road
materials at the State University at
Columbia.
/ Third. All the people OF the state
being interested in and benefited by
q better system Of highways, state
aid should be extended to the vari-
ous counties for the construction
and improvement Of the public
roads, such state aid being provided
from new sources OF revenue other
than those now existing or In the
| UTehsuTy.
Fourth. Redress from the pesent
distressing situation in road main-
tenance 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
a new constitution covering adequate
sources OF revenue than by any
amendment TO the present constitu-
ton, we therefore strongly urge up
on the Legislature the calling OF q
constitutional alconvention at the ear
llest possible moment.
Filth. We strongly endorse the
drag as the most effective and prac-
tical method OF maintaining dirt
roads and would suggest that some
law be enacted whereby its more
general employment for thispurpose
may be affected.

one that is called the Converse clock
$50 years old and made Ia England. W.
