related to them. No money expended
from the state treasury is spent for 8
better purpose, accomplishes so much
OF real value, and benefits so many OF
its people, as the meager amount that
has been devoted to the farmers insti-
tute work in this state. 1t is one of
the wisest expenditures the state could
make and instead of refusing the appro-
priation, it should have been increased
year by year as the work grows. The
farmers should remember every man
who voted against their interests.
The country west of the Missouri
river will gain three senators and
twelve representatives under the appor-
tionment bill which has been drawn by
the joint apportionment committees of
both houses, and which was introduced
in the house Saturday. The new bill
reduces the house representation to l03,
one less than the present strength of
that body. The senate has been to its
full constitutional limitation since the
beginning of statehood, and the changes
to secure representation west of the
river had to be made by reductions in
the counties east. The same plan was
followed in the house list, as there is a
desire to keep the representatives at
about the present number. The larger
counties show loss in the house list,
while the senate adjustment has been
made at the expense of some of the
smaller counties.
Senator Cone has in preparation a
bill which will practically do away with
the private printing of session laws and
will eliminate the publication of unof-
fetal editions by providing that the
state shall print enough session laws to
supply all public officers and private
people with books at 80 cents and S4 90
each. This law could not be put into
effect this winter without the consent
of the Nipple Printing Co., who have
the contract for the 1911 session laws,
but the company realizes that this is
the really proper plan for distributing
the laws to the people of the state and
no opposition to this plan has ever been
made heretofore, but the state has
never seen fit to follow this plan and
consequently publishers have made their
profit out of the unofficial sales. A
satisfactory agreement has been arrived
at by the printing commission, Mr..
Nipple and Mr.. Cone, and if the new
bill passes, bankers, lawyers, township
officers and everybody will be able to
get session laws bound as well as here
tofore for 81 instead of So. The state
will also save money on its printing
business by getting the return on ses-
sion law sales

that it is to his interest to have the
roads good to both towns SO that he
could go to one quite as well as the
other and stay with the one, that
treats him best.
1t is quite possible to make in one
year a good beginning at the solution
Of this problem which has vexed us
ever since the west was opened up,
but the greatest obstacle in the way of
it is this feeling on the part Of farm
ers that they have paid for doing the
thing and why should they now tuln
around and do 1t themselves.
They do not seem to understand
that IL they would adopt this simple
method of keeping the roads smooth
one year without money and without
price it would not be necessary to levy
road taxes in the future except for
drainage, bridges and culverts, and
this in many counties in the west
would cut the road tax somewhere in
two and save a two-mill tax.
Turn the question around and look
at it from this way, and If you will
not look at it from the standpoint of
public spirit and applied Christianity,
take good square look at 1t from the
point Of future savings
