The Republican is glad to learn that the cond-
ton of the streets resulting from the rains
has re-awakened interest in street paving and that
the interest is centerng upon Van Buren, street.
There is better place for it center There is
no other street in disgraceful condition and
there is other by which the heart of the city,
the paved district, is more naturally reached
This improvement has been contemplated by
the city government for years. More than
bonds of the amount of SO 600 were voted
t. pay the expense of widening the street for four
blocks west of Center street. That of course must
be precedent to Improvement. This money was to

ECONOMY IS

State Taxpayers Associa-
ton Endorses Resolution
for Efficiency With Cur
tailment Of Expense and
Abolition Of Offices

After thorough discussion of all
avenues Of state expenditure and taxa
ton, the sessions of the state taxpay-
ers association closed yesterday with {
ringing endorsement of economy and
reform in the business conduct of the
state, the abolition of those officers
wherein several persons are kept to do
the work than one might well do,
curtallment of unnecessary expense,
and thorough oVerhauling of the
school system of the state so us to in
ing the expense. Economy is the
WatchWord of the organization.
In the matter of school management
the county unit plan WAS endorsed
with some notifications so as to make
it acceptable here The abolition of
Such schools as are being carried ON at
.. loss to the state. and the offer Of
transportation facilities to yet other
schools in order that the territory
abandoned may be fully taken care of
and the children provided with ade-
quate means of going to and from
school without additional expense to
them
The expenditures of the state fair
and the state educational institutions
were taken up and the recommendation
made that no additional appropriation
he made for improvements in any de-
partment but that all get along for the
coming two years upon the smallest
possible basis consistent with safety.
The question of good roads received
the attention of the organization and
there was decided opinion in favor
of allowing each road district to get at
the general fund for its proportion. In
such counties and cities that have Of
ficers who double on their work a com
bination arrangement was suggested
whereby one official can do the work
of both and thus save the additional
salary The judiciary system was made
subject of attack in that the return to
the district court was suggested and
approved so that in some sections one
nudge can preside over the deliberations
of the courts of several counties and
thus save salaries.
resolution was passed endorsing
the plan for the sale of the state and
school lands situated under federal ir-

so fixed as to provide also for the sale

Mr. Burleson was correct in saying that the postal
system was now making money.
our postoffice system was instituted for
that purpose, but to serve the people at the least

has always been the policy of the government to
improve the service reduce the when it
possible so About thirty years ago the 2-cent
