JUDGE SCHAEFER
WORKS OUT Sane
GOOD ROAD PLAN.
Banker Shows That High
ways Can be Improved
by Special Fund.
NEW VALUATION TO
MAKE PLAN SUCCEED
County Could Build All Roads
Without Bond Issue or
Going in Debt.

Judge William E. Schaefer, prcsi-
dent of the Cape Exchange Bank, and
a member of the Commercial Clubs
Bridge Committee, has solution for
the good roads question, which can be
carried out without the county being
compelled to pay a great sum in in
terest.
The present raise in all assessments,
as provided for under the new State
law, will increase the valuation of
Cape Girardeau County from $4,000
900 to $25,000,000. The constitutional
tax for county roads has aggregated
$25 900 annually on the old valuation.
By increasing the good road tax in
proportion to the general increase in
valuations, would net the county $62,-
800 annually for good roads. BY de
Quoting from this amount $25 1000,
which in the past has been used for
the general upkcep of the county high
ways, there would still remain $4,000
to be used in building pikeways over
the county. And in the event the
county should agree to spend this
$37 500 as special road fund, the
county would receive from the State
and federal good road funds about
S12,500 annually, which would mako it
possible for this county 20 spend $50
900 for road Improvement each year.
in addition to the $4,000 which would
be used TO keep the old roads and
bridges in condition, as has been done
heretofore.
''This would accomplish all that Il
huge bond issue would and it would
keep the county out of debt" said
Judge Schaefer. 81 find the people do |
not relish the idea of donating huge |
sum to the bond houses each year in
interest.
81 am a good road advocate and al
ways have been, and | should like 20 |
sec the roads in this county kept in tip !;
top condition. | believe this can be |
done without gouging the taxpayers !
or saddling big debt on the county. |
By spending $4,000 a year we could !
have Just as good roads as those coun-
ties that are building highways BY !
bond issues. As matter of fact, |
I do not believe we could spend much |
more than $4,000 a year in addition
to the sum VIC arc now spending, and |
spend the money ,iudiciOusly.
"Takc, for instance, the road run
ming from Appleton to AIlcnvillc
Cape Girardcau and Jackson.
This road is about fifty miles long.
Suppose we should decide to put it in
frst-class shape the first year. At
$500 a mile, and that is the estimate
experts say will build mile of road,
we could make these fifty miles of
roads as good as city street and still |
have $4,000 left out of the first years
fund to improve some other highway.
By this means we could build the best
roads possible and keep all OF our
money at home. As we are re-assess
ing all property. we could arrange for
this special road fund without any ar
gument or inconvenience, and when
we finally accomplished our purpose,
the county would not be in debt"

CLIFTON, August GA telegram
 to President Wilson asking what ac- ton he intended taking with reference
 to the deportations from Bisbee was
 sent by the Arizona State Federation of Labor iT convention here. Forty
 delegates are Tn attendance. The
 convention appropriated Sl,0O0 for Jthe defense of the strikers awaiting
 trial at Globe on charges of rioting
 The sum of 5000 was appropriated foi
 the Miami strikers relief
 The telegram which was approved by unanimous vote, follows:
 The sixth annual convention of the Arizona State Federation of La bor desires to know ii you intend to act in restoring to their homes the de- ported men of Bisbee? Are we to assume the Phelps-Dodge corpora ton interests are superior to the prin ciples of democracy? An answer is awaited by this convention
 In addressing the convention, John Donnelley, its president, declared the time was near when radical action would be required to preserve the lib erty and freedom which this country has enjoyed for over 40 years When you see legally elected auth critics throw down the law and set aside power that has been raised be- tween the weak and strong in the manner done at Bisbee we have req son to fear the outcome,' he said. "l care not what the prcachings or text ings or acts have been on the part of the men who comprised the strik- CTS of Cochise county. When the constituted authorities take upon themselves the odium of throwing down law and deporting men they have done something which Is a men ace to the nation. It is a bcckoning finger to revolution and thinking men and women realize the fact Before closing this convention l want the delegates to take cognizance of this great wrong. The time has passed for quibbling. If the men of this na- tion arc not secure in absolute protec- ton under the law then we must do to protect ourselves. As advice l would say to every man and woman within the sound oi my voice you have the absolute right that arises above all rights, human right to avail yourselves of your constitution al right and be never run off your own hill"
