To Set Apart Two Days.

Governor Hays is to be heart
lily commended for following the
excellent example of Gov. Ma
.5ors of Missouri in setting aside
two days this fall for good roads
work, in which all citizens,
Hownsmen and countrymen are
to be urged to enlist, While the
days have not been named, nor
proclamation issued, the COVER
ernor has semi-officially at least
announced his intention and the
proposal will meet with enthusi-
assn and support over the entire
state.
Many of the counties Of this
state requested the governor to
set apart two days and in some
towns and sections, the idea of
the whole community giving it
self over on certain day to
road building is not new. What
are we going to do in Jackson
county, naturally suggests it.
self.
Our county good roads associ-
alton might define what work
and what roads are most essen
tial. That organization and the
county Judge should after the
governor has acted, issue addi-
aional appeals to the people to
give the movement general in
terest and compliance.
In Missouri, business men and
corporations in the cities, who
could not give active service and
yet who are benefited by good
roads that promote trade Just as
railroads do, donated the cash
with which to employ labor up
on these days. The business
men of Newport, who can't give
their time and the labor of their
hands and bodies upon these
days, ought to be willing to con-
tribute cash instead for the
placing of a man in the absent
tees place. AS soon as the gov
ernor's proclamation is issued,
the Independent would be glad
to receive such donations, make
public acknowledgment of them
and turn them over to the prop
er authorities who shall be in
charge of this work.
This city is perhaps more in
terested in the building of a
good roadway to Grubbs than
sany other such project. because
1t means more to the business
interests of the city, and it
might be we'll in so far as New
port is concerned to devote the
work to this road. for the road
tax money in Village Township
is not adequate togive anyof her
roads proper attention and
through this movement. much
outside help could be secured.
The road overSeer or some
public spirited man, who has a
knowledge of road building,
should be in charge of the move
ment in each township or along
every certain number of miles
of a road. The whole movement
must be systematized and given
proper direction to prove bene-
ficial and effectual.
And one mistake that we now
make in the expenditure of our
road money should be rectifed.
Don't let us try to cover too
many roads and too much terri
