INCREASED RIVER TRAFFIC..
Unusual Demand for Transportation
on the Missouri.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 2S.-Mis-
souri, river navigation is coming back.
Since the season opened, the unusual
demand for river transportation has
made it necessary to add another
barge to the fleet. Shipments this
season have included everything from
cut glass to structural steel. At pres
ent the company is operating one
steamboat and a string of barges each
way each week between Kansas City
and ST. Louis.
The boat line recently handled
$4,000 pounds of flour from Kansas
City to ST. Louis en- route to Europe
saving the mill 20 per cent on the
freight charges.
Canning factories are springing up
along the Missouri to take advantage
of the cheap water transportation
rates. The Wellington Canning COM

OPPOSES BOND ISSUE
r. G. Haney Reviews Past Road His
tory and is From Missouri On
Question Now Before People
Union, S. O., r. F. ID. No. a.

Feb. II, 1915.
Mr.. Editorials you say your col
umns are always open to anyone
who desires to express their views
on anything. So will ask you for
little space to express myself on
the 100000 road bonds.
First, 1 am a farmer, and if any
one in the world needs good roads
it is the farmer. But we will never
have good roads no matter what is
done to them, as long as it rains
or 3 months during the winter, and
they are travelled.
I'll go back to my first working of
the road as a 16-year old boy. Al,
persons living in certain sections or
boundaries along the roads, appointed
an overseeer and warner. The
warner called out all the male in
habitants along the road from 16 to
so years. These had to furnish
their own tools (the county did not
furnish tools them. The first work
ing was done the first of the year
so the roads would be in good fix by
March Court. The law required from
to 6 days work from each male
of road age. Of course, about 8
days was the average, not many
worked days. Most of the work
was done when it was too wet to
work on the farm. The next work
was done during the "laying by sea-
son." so this was the last work done
But the roads then were never in the
fix that they have been for the past
f3 or a years. They were worked
that way for several years.
The next. thing was the voting or
ethe -S1-xoaf tax. Then money began
to be. squandered on road working
Not that am accusing any of ou1
commissioners or supervisors OF
being dishonest. Things went on this
way for a while and that was not
enough money to squander and a
81 road tax was passed, bringing in
the 18year old boy who was not al,
lowed to vote. Another case OF
Taxation without representation
This lasted for about years anc
was repealed as to the 18-year old
boy, because people kicked too mucn
After taxation came into effect, from
the 81 tax, on up, overseers were
appointed by commissioners. These
overseers hired hands-the greater
majority of these boys, who spent
the greater part of their time SIT
ting down resting, instead Of work.
ing. These were paid about 60 nl
65 'Ednts per day, when really, they
were not worth 25 cents day.
About the time taxation" came
in the chaingang law also came into
effect. The chaingang forces worked
with mules, scraper, etc., at an ex,
pense Of about $25 day (this is just
rough guess, for I do not know the
exact figures). During this time the
width for the roads was cut down to
20 feet. On hills four gullies were
made instead of two.
The next money squandered to my
knowledge was on the macadamizino
Of road. About $4,000 was spent
for machinery for this purpose. In e
years time, with the help of the
