History of the Movement.

In 1908 the board Of supervisors de-
cided that something had to be done 10
get away from the wooden bridges.
The traction engines were being
built heavier than would be safe for
these wood and steel bridges to carry.
After a thorough investigation it was
decided to cut loose from the contract
system and organize the county work
under day labor system in which no
politics We're to enter.
AS Adair county had no sand or
gravel and the longest hauls would be
fourteen miles, 1t was decided that the
only way out was to manufacture a re-
inforced concrete culvert tile. A lot
40x60 was leased for the year 1909. The
next problem that confronted the board
was getting suitable forms. They
were unable to get them made as those
with whom the matter was taken up
advised them that they We're on the
wrong track as they said it was impos-
sible to make tile six feet long. Fail
ing to get them made, those in charge

went to work themselves and made the
forms out of lumber. In this way
forms were made for culvert pipe In
six feet lengths made for five culverts
as well as one box culvert 3hx3hx24.
Plant Has Enlarged.
In 1910 the board bought a tract OF
land containing one and one eighth
acres for 5000. A frame building 24x40
was erected for cement and tools. the
pipe being made in the open. This
year steel forms were made IN q local
shop, and the cast iron rings were
made in Chicago, which formed the
tongue and groove ends. They are
still using some of these forms. In
1914, having outgrown the present
quarters, the board sold the land for
$2,750 and bought three acres for $1,000
nearer the depot along the G. B. & @.
tracks. The frame building was moved
from the former yard and used as a
tool house.
A cement house was built Of burnt
clay building blocks. Capacity, 800
barrels of cement. Another building
40xS0 feet was built Of the same ma
terial This building was used for
making tile. A side track was built
into the yard along one end Of this
building. A pit large enough to hold
400 tons of gravel was built under the
track. The gravel is shipped In dump
bottom cars and dumped into it. An
elevator takes the gravel out OF the pit
and runs it into a batch mixer.
steam heating plant has been installed,
to warm the gravel and cement as well
as warm the building so the plant may
be operated the year around. The ma
chinery used is seven and one-half
horse power motor and an eight foot
standard scale batch mixer.

WAR TAXES TO TOUCH EVERY
AMERICAN HOME; $33 PER CAPITA
This VIII Be Direct Taxes and in Addition to the Indirec
Taxes Which the People Are Already Paving

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The war
tax bill, extending its excuses to the
fabric of every American home, was
formally presented to the house to-
day by the ways and means commit
tee with plans for quick passage.
AS a forecast of what may come
later, it proposes special taxes to
raise $1,80O,O0O,OOO in addition to
the present normal revenue of ST.
500,00O,000. When it's terms are eff
fective, the American people will be
paying direct taxes of $50 per capita.

up a list of taxes, probably the most
formidable ever faced by the Ameri-
can people.
The household, light, heat and tele-
phone bills, admission tickets to
amusements, fire and life insurance,
railway tickets, automobiles, automo-

bats, club dues and host of other
everyday necessities or luxuries will
come under the taxation.
Increased postage rates on news
papers, arranged in a zone system,
are such that publishers say they will
force many newspapers out of bust

Already protests against many fea-

attacks upon it will center in the

conduct public hearings on it and
probably make some amendments.
