THE NEEDED CHANGE OF
ROAD LAWS IN MISSOURI

hohD La W > IN hiSool III
Noting that the Republican party
in the state Of Missouri are bringing
forth rs party issue at tht present
time, a change in the laws relative to
our state and county highways, the
writer wishes to drop 4 few though,
along the same line.
That we need a change Of road
laws in the state Of Missouri is an
gudoubtcd fact, but what kind Of 4.
change do we need?
DO we need higher taxation?
DO we need fewer roads?
DO we need less or more work on
our roads?
DO we need a different method Of
applying our road funds?
If one will travel over the rural
districts Of our state they will at
once admit that we are lacking in pub
he highways and that we also lack
sufficient work on our roads of the
present.
Thus we have a public answer to
two Of our questions. Casting aside
these two questions we will 90 for.
ward in answering the last question
asked, and in so doing the first ques
ton will be at once erased from our
minds.
We need Il different application Of
our funds.
We also need a permanent and un-
iyersal levy of taxation for road
funds.
Our county courts have legal
right to make an assessment of 25c
per 500 assessed valuation on real
estate for road funds. This assess
mcnt should by law become perma-
ncnt and universal Throughout the en-
tire state.
The following should be fixed as a
permanent method of applying our
road funds:
Sixty per cent of the assessment
in each road district for each wear
should be applied on the roads of the
district in which the assessment Is
made. Twenty per cent of the AS
scssmcnt should be used for BRIDGES
Twenty per cent should he set aside
FOR a county road fund and to pov
the county road engineers. and tom
per cent shouI5 go to the stat, rool
fund.
