BUILDING GOOD ROADS

More than so counties in Ken
lucky are actually at work building
roads under state supervision and
with state aid. Twenty other coun.
ties have asked for and been grant.
ed such aid and are now preparing
to begin work. The statewide road
building movement is on in earnest,
and II is here to stay.
At the two penitentiaries. at
Frankfort and Eddyville, there are
1900 men convicts. A large pro-
portion of that number are ply
stcally capable OF working on the
roads. Instead OF being so worked.
they are let out to prison con-
tractors at an annual loss to the
state.
At the coming election, a consti-
tutional amendment to work the con
victs on the roads is to be voted on.
II has been twice submitted by the
General Assembly and once adopt
ed by the people. That adoption
was nullifed by a failure to adver-
tise the amendment within the pre-
scribed 80 days. The necessary ad-
vertising has now been done. The
whole question is in the hands of
the voters. and both political par
ties have declared for adoption
in their state platforms
The prison contractor is opposed
to adoption. II will put an end to
his profits. Organized labor is a
unit on wanting to see the amend
ment adopted. II will put an end
to convict competition with free
labor II will put men at work on
the roads where there is now a
scarcity OF labor.
In the state OF Virginia. II was
found that convict labor effected a
saving OF $500 a mile In the cost
OF building roads. In a score OF
other states, where this labor Is
used. II has been demonstrated that
roads can be built with contract
labor at half the cost OF free labor.
Convict labor on the roads has
proved good for the state and good
for the convict. II has helped him
physically and morally. II has, in
many instances, restored him to
good citizenship. and a convict re-
stored to good citizenship is an
asset; a convict released to follow
a life OF crime Is liability.
II Kentucky wants the advantages
that come from convict labor on
the roads, all that will be necessary
will be to vote Yes for the amend
ment. II Kentucky prefers to let
the prison contractor get richer at
her expense by continuing in effect
a system OF slavery. the amendment
will be defeated.
But the voter who goes to the
polls and fails to vote on the amend
ment will overlook an opportunity
to do his county and the state good
service.

BOARD OF CITY development.
First Municipal comrereisl Organize
ton Has Been Started In Amarillo.

Amarillo. Tex, has the distinction Of
organization. says the Town Develop
ment Magazine. A board OF city de-
velopment, the name Of the organiza-
ton. Is provided for by the new city
charter and at the present taxation
and assessed valuation has an annual
income OF $4,000. The new charter
briefly provides. first. for a commission
government by three commissioners,
elected by the people; second, city
manager. elected by the commission;
third, a board OF city development,
corresponding to a regular commercial
organization. composed Of fifteen mem
bers appointed by the mayor. who Ia
also one Of the commissioners. The
fifteen directors appoint the secretary.
He Is a salaried official and not mem
Der OF the board
The organization is supported by a
two mill levy on 500 Of valuation,
which the city government must turn
over to the board to be used as II sees
fit. Neither the mayor nor the city
commission has power OF review or
any kind over how and In what way
the money Is spent.
The assessed valuation OF Amarillo
this year Is S9.145.OOO. netting a fund
for the board Of city development OF
slightly over $4,000.
Following its first meeting and or
ganization the new board began Its
search for a secretary. Out OF the 100
applications the board selected Porter
A. whaley. former secretary at Ander-
son, s. @.
Amarillo Is the largest city In north
west Texas, having a population of
nearly 10000 people. The experiment
OF community supported commercial
organization will be watched with
great interest by commercial organiza-
ton members over the entire country.

CITY Feeds Farm Soil.

According to the Farm and Fireside,
the city Of Los Angeles, Cal, gathers
up from 100 to IT'S tons Of garbage a
day and converts 1t into twenty or
twenty-five tons Of fertilizer. That
sells at from Sl4 to SIS per ton. IL
goes to the orchards, farms and vege-
table gardens OF the vicinity.
Experience with the Los Angeles
plan Is but a duplication OF the expert
ence OF Toledo. o., and other American
cities as well as many In Europe.
Proper utilization OF garbage repre-
sents the opportunity to dispose OF the
city's wastes without expense and In
some cases at profit to the city
while at the same time the resultant
fertilizer goes back 10 the soil iron

Nobody need think twice to realize
that the Incarceration or other waste OF
the useful elements In great city's
garbage Is worse than wicked. The
land cannot be denuded always Of Its
most valuable constituents and yet go
on producing for the increasing mil
lions of population. The modern meth
cd of handling fertilizers means econo-

One lady gave s75 TO get even

another to give SIS additional

gave $3.50 altho income was limited
and his home was adorned with a
mortgage. A preacher gave the same

Club and Poultry Club boys came on,
a score strong with pledges of 500
and $500 to be made good from the
poultry pens.
The Womens Christian Associa-
ton, through its officers pledged
$50. The Women's Industrial 800.
This inspired other societies. The
Christian Endeavor, the College Sun

Sunday School classes and Bible
classes in rapid succession followed
with pledges. One pledged the pro-

Bountiful thanks are due to the
ladies who took up so successfully,
so happily and tastefully the great
burden of providing the tables for
such a great number and such a

only one hour day TO supply all the

During the month OF August last

The hospital has also been con-
