IA Good Roads Talk.

Secretary A. G. Mckibben Of
the State Highway Commission
came to Doniphan' last Tuesday
evening and on Wednesday
morning made q talk to . good
number Of business men and some
farmers who had been called BY
phone, on the good roads bond
issue. His salk was one that all
should have heard. whether they
are for or against the proposition.
Hs said that there was no way
by which counties could get aid
from the state, or from the Fed.
ersl government, unless bonds
were issued, 40 It was simply q
case Of stacking up dollars, the
counties against the state and
national government, that the
money was already in the treas-
ury, both state and national, for
this sid, and in his opinion, the
people Of this or any other coun-
ty Was losing an opportunity Of
being very greatly benefited II
they failed to take advantage OF
the opportunity now offered.
The Federal government law
only appropriates for the one
year, 1917, and after the first Of
january, 1918, no federal aid
can be obtained until congress
again makes an appropriation for
such purpose. and it is more than
likely that, taking into consid.
GRAFTON the stupendous expendi-
ture caused by the war. the ap.
preparation for the coming year
will be omitted. There 10 q large
sum OF money now in the state
treasury that cannot be used for
any other purpose than for build.
ing good roads, and no county
can obtain any part Of it, unless
they do their part. He said that
the State Commission had found
that the only way they could
arouse the interest Of the people
Of the counties Of the state to .
realization of the opportunity Of.
cred them was for the menbsrs
Of the commission TO get out and
show the people the benefit they,
were loseing In not taking ed.
vantage Of this opportunity.
Politics had nothing whatever to
DO with these propositions as the
commission was equally divided
politically and every member Of
the commission was ardsntly and
sincerely working to help the
people TO help themselves. and
the idea that any man or Get Of
men should set up the plea that It
was . political scheme was ,
monstrous pefversion Of the
facts. That Governor Gardner
was q great boomer for the idea
Of bonding for good roads and
wss speaking, in his speaking
tours over the state, for the pro.
position, endorsing II as Q pro.
gressive and proper idea for
every citizen to be interested Ia.
Not only was the Governor and
other prominent state officials
favoring the proposition, but q

politicians Of both Of the major
political parties we're helping tcl
push the good work along, ss
well % all the leading business
men from al parts OF the state
were fsvoring II. His talk was

and he said ne would make Il !
