GOOD ROAD BUILDING.

Due largely to the work of the Kan
sas State Automobile association the
legislature passed one law which has
very greatly stimulated road improve
ment in the state. 1t is that which
gives to this cause almost all of the
automobile tax. From all parts of the
state come reports of activity in road
construction. In most cases the coun-
ty commissioners are allowing the au-
tomobile clubs to control the expendi-
ture of the fund accumulated from the
automobile tax and the result prom
ises to be most beneficial. What the
automobile clubs want and will insist
upon is good roads and they will see
to 1t that the fund is not squandered in
paying for slipshod work, or no work.
as is too often the case with other
road funds. 1t is safe to predict very
great improvement in the condition of
Kansas roads within the next few
months.-Leavenwor Times.
