LINES WORTH REMEMBERING.
A GOOD ROADS GOVERNOR.

\Y1IIILE every state has good roads governor frel
w d Gardner who was elected to the position OF chief
executive Of Missouri this month steps to the front with
the startling statement that he will submit TO the voters
of Missouri the proposition issue $50ooo0o for the pur
pose Of building permanent highways
No dirt roads for Mr. Gardner He knows that the
present age with its fast touring is the age OF hard
surfaced roads The old trail was all right in the
DAYS when the COW pony four,hed hut the broncho IS
too slow for modern business or pleasure and has been
supplantcd by the speedy automobile.
Mr. Gardner proposes to construct system OF pcrma-
nent highways which will include paved roads from ST.
Louis to Kansas City. from Kansas City to Springfield
from Springfield to ST. Louis from st. Louis to Hannibal
from Hannibal 10 ST. Joseph from ST. Joseph to Kansas
Ctv and from st. Louis to Carruthcrsrle. 1t IS rather
an ambitious program.
In addition to the huge bond issue the govcrnor-clcct
Of Missouri fayors increasing the motor license tax so
that it will bring a revenue OF 100000 a year.
Most states arc charging substantial fees for motorists
to use the public roads which is equitable since the
road, are built primarily to accommodate automobile
traffic.
Viewing the plan being considered by Missouri gives
increased momentum TO the plan originated by the Okla
homa CITY automobile dealers who active in the
movement to issue 100000 Of bonds in this county to
pay for eight hardsuaccd roads that will stretch from
the end OF our city paycmcnts TO the county lines.
And as soon as this county bond issue is authorized
the state will he ready nauguratc elaborate plan
which will call for the Investment Of some millions OF
dollars to build permanent highways that will cross the
state IN more than one direction, There is wh,
We should not have hard surfaced road from the capita

- public welfare has called a mass-meeting, TO be held
at his church Sunday The purpose is take ORGANIZED
action which will bring relief people who cannot meet

There is belief that many prices of foods have been
advanced for greedy and that all values which
have been raised legitimate discussion OF the
situation will be Of intense interest and those who favor
some form of cooperation which will have regulating

points along the line As individuals they never pre-
sent enough power TO combat condition which borders on
distress hut since in union there is strength the move
mcnt to be started in Oklahoma City may gain recruits IN
sufficient number to stabilize market values and prevent
un,crupuous persons taking advantage OF unorganiled
army OF consumers.
While We know that the producers Of food materials
have not increased in numbers fast the baallons
Of consumers the population being OF balance does
not warrant every price increase which has developed

has invited economists to be hand with their ideas.
In tho meantime those families that gave liberal at
cnton to the town garden and the poultry flock hold
formidable position from which they survey the battle
field Ultimately it is likely he found that the only way
to put the death rattle in the throat Of the high cost OF
living will be to conduct intensive farming and poultry
raising in the back yards Of city homes.
