JUDGE SUTTON CITES
FIGURES ON SAVINGS
Urges Citizens TO Vote for Highway
Engineer Because He Saves the
Taxpayers Much Money.
MEANS BETTER ROADS HERE
Former Member of the Audrain COun
ty Court Speaks From His Ex-
perience With This Official.

Ex-Judge ]. D. Sutton, who was a
member of the Audrain County Court
when Audrain had Highway Engin-
eer, urges the voters to support the
movement to re-instate this official at
the coming election. His letter citing
actual savings made by that officer is
an argument in favor of the off
which cannot be overlooked. |
FARBER, Mo-, Oct. IS. = R. NJ
White G. Son. Dear Sirs: In reply to
your letter will say that am for the
County Highway Engineer.
From my personal knowledge l
know that the Hon. J. ]. Wakefield
saved this county many times his sal
arv while he was in office. When we
appointed Mr.. Wakefield to the office
of County Highway Engineer the
road overseers in the county were
paying about $125 for the Austin
grader.
Mr.. Wakefield got busy and he
bought this same grader for $65, a
saving of about $50 on each grader
1 could give you many such cases
where the County Highway Engineer
saved the taxpayers money.
I believe if the people understood
this proposition as they should 1t
would carry by big vote.
I hope the people will vote for TINS
proposition, because I know the High
way Engineer will save the county
money each year.
Yours for better roads,
J. D. Sutton.

SANTA Re AND c. B. 8 0.
PLANS UNDER DISCUSSION
Burlington and Santa Fe Heads Ad-
nit Subject Has Been Under
Discussion Between Them.
95 MILES OF TRACK
Santa Fe May Join With Burlington
in Track From CarrOllton to
MexicO-95 Miles.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct. 16. - Plans of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroads to enter st. Louis from the
west, tentatively announced recent
ly, may soon reach definite stage.
Santa Fe officials admit they the
anxious to get into st. Louis to CON-
pete for the westbound passenger and
freight traffic, but it is contended that
plans for extending the line into st.
Louis as yet are vague and that ne
gotiations looking to the extension up
to this time have been conducted in
formally.
The only plan thus far considered
calls for joint action with the CHI
cago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad.
The Burlington has a line from ST.
Lous west to Mexico, Mo. All IFS
Grains are handed from MeX."o into
Kansas City via the Chicago & Alton
cracks south Of the Missouri River.
This arrangement is said to be un-
satisfactory nj tn Santa Fa is dis
,cussing plans which would call for
the construction Of 6 track between
Carrollton, Mo, and Mexico, No, the
new track to be ID jointly by the
IS,l ta Fc an, the llu'lirrttn.
All conferences relative TO the pro-
posed Santa Fe entry int3 ghe ST,
Louis field have been conducted DC
tween W. D. Storey, Santa Fe vice
president in charge of operation, and
H. E. Byram, the operating head of
the Burlington. Neither will admi-
that the discussions have reached de-
finite stage. Both admit, however
that the subject has been discussed.
The Santa Fe runs northeast from
Kansas City to Carrollton and thence
direct to Chicago. From Carrolltor
to Mexico, the western terminus of the
Burlington-owned track, is only 9F
miles, so that the project does not cal
for the construction of any great
length of track.
Because of its western facilities the
Santa Fe would make a formidable
competitor in the St. Louis field
where it could offer shippers eXcep
tional facilities in moving shipment:
West and Southwest. AS the situa
Ition now stands, the Santa Fe accept!

Under a decision of the United

entering St. Louis has the right to use
the facilities of the Terminal Railroad
Association of st. Louis, on a rental
