meet in this city Tuesday for the purpose
of organizing a state association 1t is ex-
pected that twenty-five or more such post
office men will gather here for the initial
meeting, which will include besides the
routine business, several papers concerning
subject of interest to the young nasbys
THE premium rates on fraternal insu-
rance must be raised There is no question
about It, II has got to come. The officers
OF the Modern Woodmen in common with
the officers OF other fraternal insurance
companies realize that the increase is
bound to come and the report of Illinois
and West VRrginia insurance boards
recommending such raise in rates is
wholly in line with the policy of company
officers"
Such is the statement of A. r. Talbot
head Of the Modern Woodmen who today
returned from a trip to the lodges head
quarters at Rock Island, Illinois. He
further asserted that nothing would be
done because of the reports made by the
boards OF the two states. but declared
that II anything should be done In the
future II would come as a result of the
needs and requirements of the society
itself and not from such an action as
that taken by the insurance board of a
state.
Speaking in reference to the unsuccess-
full attempts of the late legislature to
enact a new set of road laws. D. Ward
King Of Missouri, known as the inventor
Of the drag bearing his name. and &C.
knowledged authority on the good roads
subject who was in the city today said:
THE people must be right under any
system that we have" said he or graft
can exist at one time as well as another
The worst trouble with the state high
way commission and county engineer sys-
tenn Is politics. As the state highway
engineer Of West Varginia declared at
the national convention at Indianapolis
the worst enemies of good roads were
water and politics and the latter ex-
ceeded the former in degree But in
spite of that fact believe that the work
can be more efficiently done under the
highway commissioner system In that
manner the bridge work and bridge con-
struction can be standardized and uniform
road systems can be worked out for the
entire state. Plans for REINFORCED con-
crete bridges and culverts can be drawn
and blue printed and sent out over the
state at a less expense and with more
success than at present.
Inc state ana county engineers who
head the road movements are not paid
for what they do particularly, but for
what they know. know county engineers
in Missouri who have saved their salaries
for a year in the space of half an hour
sometimes. In my opinion these offices
should be appointive and If possible under
the control Of q bipartisan or non-parti-
san board Of control. OF course at the
best it is impossible to eliminate politics
from the operations of such offices, but
we must make the best we can out of
them just the same. II each individual
will do all that he can for the improve
ment of little stretches of roads the com
munity in the aggregate will have good
roads almost before they know II. The
most of the responsibility of course rests
with the local authorities and they must
attend to the details il they would be
successful.
