Ripley County democrat. (Doniphan, Mo.) 1905-1920, 1916-07-28

Since the memory OF man rum
meth not the contrary, Missouri
ans havs elected a newspaper
man to the office Of secretary OF
state. THIS does not just hap
pen-,here are re.s sons for 1t.
The secretary OF state complies
and edits the State Official Man
ual, known as the Blue Book,
the states most important official
publication. He is also a menu
ber Of the printing commission
and has to do with buying all
the paper used by the state, and
has many duties for which a
newspaper mans knowledge and
experience are iovaluSble. And
then the unselfisliservice andcon-
sistent loyalty OF the country
editor to the interest OF public
and party alike makes him espe-
cially worthy OF preferment. For
these and other reasons the
Office of secretary OF state has
been filled by newspaper men for
many years past without a break
Is there any reason why the iime-
bonored precedent should be
disregarded this year9
The only newspaper man run
ming is James Kelly Pool, for
twenty-five years owner and
editor OF the Centra!ia Courier.
Nobody questions his qualihca-
tions; nobody challenges his
worthiness Of the honor; nobody
doubts his long record Of party
service and loyalty. He has the
unanimous backing of the Demo-
cratic press OF the state--more
,han three hundred editors are
asking his nomination. He will
lend strength TO lhe ticket in
/ November and his nomination
shsuld be made as nearly unani-
nous as possible.

the road builders. When roads are
built with borrowed money 1t Is, OF
course, especially important to avoid
this error. On the other hand, how
ever, it is not necessary to regard the
total cost of surfacing a road as
temporary improvement. Much of the
surfacing may be classed as a perma-
nent investment, for it is becoming
more and more common to have sur
faces built in two courses, the lower
of which is as much a permanent fea-
ture of construction as the grading
itself. This is particularly true of
those types of road that are built with
concrete foundations for bituminous
macadam. brick or asphalt surfaces.
1t is probably conservative to regard
40 per cent of the flrst-construction
cost of macadam or more enduring
pavements as a permanent investment.
It is seldom nowadays that hard roads
are permitted to wear into the founda-
tlon course of the surfacing.
Where proper maintenance is as
eured it is safe to say that an average

In expending money raised by the
sale of highway bonds, highway COM
missioners should distinguish care
fully between the permanent and the
perishable features of the road.
Foundations, drainage structures,
alignment and grades are in general
fairly permanent features which
should be looked upon in the light of
an investment. II these features do
not comply with a certain standard,
it will be poor economy to spend mon
ey on transitory improvements such
as hard surfaces, which must, at con-
siderable expense, be renewed from
year to year. In the same way, 1t is
manifestly poor policy to build an ex-
pensive surface on defective grades
with poor alignments and short-lived
drainage features.
Even when much of the money ex-
pended upon highway has gone into
the permanent features, there is still
danger that the cost of repairs and
maintenance will be overlooked, or at
least slighted, in the calculations of
The Elbert County tribune., 1916-03-31

and maintenance charges will always
be necessary. On the other hand.
many features of a good road are to
be regarded as permanent investments.
When roads are built with borrowed
money. the distinction between the
permanent and the temporary improve
ment must be carefully observed in
order that the county may have some-
thing in exchange when the time
comes to repay the loan.

A Few Ways Of Saving Money.

Saving money by not spending it for
good roads is like saving 1t in refusing
to improve stock.
1t is like saving 1t by refusing to
build modern barn.
1t is like saving money by doing
without a silo.
1t is like saving money by using ma

OF about 62 per cent of the total cost
OF a well-built macadam road may be
considered as spent for permanent fea-
lures, and with bituminous macadam
roads, about sc per cent. This method
of estimating cannot be applied to any
gravel or natural soil road in which
no part of the surfacing can advanta-
geously be considered permanent. for
under most systems of maintenance 1t
steadily deteriorates.
Roads built with surfaces entirely
of concrete, or with brick pavements
resting on a concrete foundation. are
sometimes regarded as permanent, but
this is hardly safe. 1t is not yet def.
nitely known how long the best con-
crete surface will last. The best vitri.
fed brick surfaces may last a number
of years, but even with them repairs
will be required.
1t should be borne in mind by those
charged with the expenditure of high.

road is never the final one; that no
