charge of criminal libel preferred by
the mayor of Pocatello. He waived

Statesman.
Nov. 17th, at the time Of the first
announcement of the filing OF the
Complaint, ,Hinkytrux grasped eagerly
at the opportunity for getting his pic
ture in a paper, that being the first
time he had come into sufficient
prominence to warrant the adornment
Of the front page of even his own
paper with halt tone cut of himself
which he SO wittily and fittingly la
oeied "1he Culprit'. Wonder what
label he will adopt after the case is
tried? The abnormal desire of some
people to get thir picture in news
paper is past understanding, but
we were satisfied Hinkytrux would
grasp the iirst opportunity even II
he had to put 1t in his own paper.

the year 1910 S1,OQo,ONO Washington,
which outgrew any of the Pacific
states, has appropriated $G20,09O for
this year, and SO on through a long
list of states.
let me say that no state In the
union has made material progress in
road building, except those states
which have granted financial aid, and
that every state which has granted
aid has made material progress. State
cid is an absolute necessity TO secure
good roads. We will never have them
in Kentucky without it. II means In
the first place, that the roads will
be properly built This has not been
the case in Kentucky save with rare
exceptions. 1t will not only stop the
waste from incompetency, but it will
also stop the graft which has been
limited at as existing in some counties.
Kentucky, of all states in the union,
! should provide state aid, for the rea,
son that no state has such a great
/ difference in the wealth and poverty
OF our people. We have one county
whose assessable wealth is over $780,
coo 900, and dozen where the as
nessment is less than S1,O00,0OO The
principle Of state aid has been recog.
nized in Kentucky throughout its en-
tire history. Our public school system
rests upon it and without 1t half the
counties could not maintain public
schools. The state, instead Of the
counties. under our laws pays all the
jury claims, witness claims, pauper
idiot claims, circuit judges and com
monwealth attorneys salaries and
many other things II is so embodied
in our laws that the state is the uni

"In my humble opinion the first and
greatest step for the material develop

at the good roads meeting when this
congress was called and committee
appointed to draft state aid bill for
public highways to be submitted to II.
il is not my purpose to discuss at this
time in detail the value Of good roads
or the cost of bad ones ! merely wish
TO emphasize that bad roads are a
heavier tax upon the people than any
reasonable tax which may be levied
10 secure good roads The bad roads
of Kentucky cost the people more an
