LIBERTY BELL DAY AT
PANAMA EXPOSITION

San Francisco, July Saturday
was Liberty Bell Day" at the Pan
anna Pacific exposition. After its long
trip across the continent, during which
it was viewed and honored by thou
sands, the famous old bell which
sounded the first notes of American
liberty, was the center of attraction.
Thousands thronged the exposition
grounds to see the bell while special
famous relic. Senator Champ Clark
delivered the principal address of tn
day. The Liberty Bell was escorted
through the downtown streets and to
the exposition grounds following its
arrival here by United States troops
and thousands of citizens. The bell
first arrived on California soil Fri
day. Its journey from Philadelphia
was completed with stops at Marys-
vile and Sacramento, from where it
was taken direct to Oakland. A spe-
cial barge was provided to carry the
bell across the bay to the Southern
Pacific freight slip. There it was
placed aboard special freight car to
transfer to the Southern Pacific sta
tion and later transferred to a flag
bedecked truck on which it was hauled
to the exposition grounds.
Not since "Wilson day" was oh
served at the exposition have such pa
triotic scenes been enacted as those
honoring the liberty bell today. Be
tween lines of waving flags, guarded
by military escort, marching to the
music of massed bands, the bell moved
between lines of cheering men and
women TO the reviewing stand from
which speeches were delivered. Later
it was established in the building
where it will be viewed by thousands
of exposition visitors.

THE HISTORY OF STATE AID
FOR ROADS.
Three Laws Bring Revenue, Two
Principal Acts Originating
With the Secretary
Of State.

The vast benefits given to road
improvement in Missouri from the
policy Of state aid. which is at
tracing such. wide attention at
this time, makes especially inter-
esting the fact that State aid is
Of very recent origin in Missouri.
There are three laws on the stat
ute books providing revenue for
the road fund and their actual
operation covers scarcely a half
dozen years. The success Of this
constructive road legislation is
emphasized by the recent state
ment of State Highway Commits
sioner Frank w. Buffum who es-
Inmates that as a result Of the
stimulus to road building given
by these laws there has been since
1912 throughout the State an ex-
penditure Of local funds of sum
exceeding $15,000,000.0O.
The first law for State aid was
enacted in 1907. Senator E. A.
Dowell, of Lewis County, was the
author of this law, which was
known as the "option stamp act. "
Its enforcement was held up by
litigation until 1910, when the to-
tai receipts for that year were
$500. The litigation over this
act was finally terminated in 1911.
With the law sustained by the
courts, in full settlement Of ar
rearages there was paid into the
State Treasury the sum Of $685.
1926, The gross proceeds Of this
act up to November l, 1915, We're
1886, 351.45.
The second act intended to pro-
duce road revenue was passed in
1907, provided for the registra-
ton of motor vehicles. This law
was loosely drawn and disap-
pointing in it's results. The gross
proceeds from this act up to the
present efficient registration law
went into effect four years later,
We're only $76,321 50. In 1911,
the present Secretary of State
Cornelius Roach, re-drafted the
automobile registration act MAX
ing registration annual up to No
vember /, 1915, this new law has
put into the state treasury to the
credit of the road fund, the mag
nificent sum of $9OO,355.73.
The third law providing State
aid for roads was enacted in 1913.
This act, also designed by the
present Secretary of State, is
known as the corporation regis
tration and supervision act" The
operation of this law has pro-
duced road money in the sum OF
$3.50, 1859 up to November l.,
1915.
The net results of the policy OF
State aid have been the payment
of 81, 1893, 145.O9 into the State
Treasury for the road improve
ment fund. Of this amount, ST.
$50, 472. IA have come from the
laws placed on the statute books
through the efforts of Secretary
of State Cornelius Roach. The
substantial benefits to the road
system Of Missouri are so far
reaching that the wisdom of the
State aid policy is proved and it's
continuation and. expansion as
sured.
