You see substance Of 1os15 and 1oe16


is that the commissioners are au-
thorized to have estimates, maps and
profiles made on any piece of work
that in their judgment should be done,
but they have absolutely no power to
levy cent against any mans acres of
ground. The land owners themselves
elect or reject any and all proposals.
Section 10617 to 10621 sets forth how
tax bills, general lines of procedures
are carried on down to 1922; there
it gives the land owners right to petit
tion the Commissioner for the i'm
proving or constructing any piece of
road, that majority Of the land own
ers think within their Judgment need
repairs. 10623 gives the Commission
right to employ County Surveyors.
I will give Section 10624: "When-
ever any Road District shall be or
ganized under this article the County
Clerk shall set aside to the credit of
said Road District the portion of the
revenues for working the public roads
that may be raised by direct taxation
against property lying therein, ac-
cording to any existing law or sub
sequent enactment, and said revenue
shall be spent by said Board of Com
missioners, for keeping any road
within said district in repair or for
paying for any other needed work;
likewise shall proper apportionment
Of any license, taxes and poll taxes,
and city revenues raised and set aside
to any special Road District organized
under article IL of chapter 102 of the
Revised Statutes Of Missouri of 1909,
be made by the County and turned
over to the Commission provided for
by this article. Any Overseer or Road
| Commissioner, who shall be such, un-
der any other law at the time of the
organization of such Road District,
! shall turn over to such Commission
any tools, graders, scrapers or imple-
ments of any kind in his possession
which may by proper apportion-
ment belong to such district. Said
Commission shall have power to con-
tract for the working or improving of
said road in any manner that to
them may seem best, and to pay for
the same out of such revenues
i Section 10625 recites that all poll
tax shall be paid in cash; provided
tIdu UlC ROnOIdl IOdu law Ill lOlNO ia
such County shall remain in force in
such district, exA ept wherein the pro-
visions thereof shall be in conflict
with the provisions of this article.
Kind reader, it is your humble
scribe's desires to set at nought all
rumors to the effect that this district
will raise taxes. There will be nc
[ such thing as $40 tax bills, land being
sold as you have heard from these
, remonstrance people. AS ] have
carefully set out, that the Commission
} has no authority in the raising O
taxes only by a majority vote Of lane

So, now you may say, HhoW about
the Ozarks?" Is there any provisions
for them, especially Iron County?
Yes sir, Iron County had her Repre-
sentative right there in the person of
Jas. Henry Polk, who declared, "while
/ am in favor of cooperation the
county that / represent is billy and my
people can not stand this enormous
taxation you speak Of" $780," says
Mr.. Northeast Missouri and Mr..
Southeast Missouri, "we'll make this
corporate law SO elastic and SO fex-
ible that it will cover every nook and
Granny of this, our great State, re-
gardless of hills, valleys, rivers,
swamp land, prairies or what not, rich
and poor, bond and free, saint and
sinner, alike, shall have the blessed
privilege of co operating in building
roads. If you have great means, use
them; if you have small mean, use
them; if you have none at all do the
best you can"
will say, that had some ex-
perience in doing some of this "best
you CAM building last winter, and
that it was not to my preference at
all. To this will refer later.
So the result is tn at we have cor
porate law, known as Special Road
Districts that is SO simple that a way
faring stranger may understand.
| This is how the law works: The
petition has majority of land in acres,
with the signatures of petitioners.
County Court passes it and appoints
their Commissioners, who take the
Constitutional Oath. These Com
missioners must be land owners, in the
District. Section 10613 says they shall
hold their office until Tuesday after
the first Monday in January there
after, and then the land owners elect
their Commissioners; one for l year,
one for years, and one for 3 years
1 Next in order is the assessment o.
Hand in the District. Section 1061t
provides that the Commiss oners shall
/ do. this, but in the event that they dis
agree they shall call in the County
Assessor. Why not take the County
Assessors books for it? we have

and officers elected. Matters were
talked over and a team will be started
at once The officers of the Augusta
Hockey Association are: President,
Burleigh Martin; treasurer, John Wad-
leigh. Plenty of good material is
available for this kind of sport and

AN INDEX OF HOAXES.
Practical Jokes Which Dame History
Has Accepted.

Hoaxes exist in every profession and
walk of life; they flourish in every age
and cline; they. ply their art either as
a means of livelihood, or from the sole
desire to gull the credulous public. 1t
was the latter which melted that PRINCE
of practical jokers, theodore Hook. to
perpetrate the most audacious of all
hoaxes, the Berners-street hoax, that for
the time reused all London to laughter
and Indignation Hook bet guinea that
a certain modest dwelling in quiet
thoroughfare leading out of oxford street
would become the most notorious house
in town, and set about winning his
wager by addressing over a thousand
letters, containing orders to tradesmen,
with the request that they would at
certain hour on a certain day deliver
their goods at certain house in Ber-
ners street. Besides the unfortunate
shopkeepers. who suffered much loss
through damage to their goods, others
were included in the fun" The lord
