foundation for It will have already been
laid and paid for.
Much has been said in criticism Of
the Mccullough Morgan bill. This
new Law was designed to provide for an
equal distribution OF the road meneys.
1t was also designed to be adaptable to
every section oi the state, and these
purposes, it seems, were accomplished.
Under it any county may build real
roads to connect with similar roads in
all surrounding counties. Il plays fair
with each county and seeks to construct
genuine state wide system. No
county will have less than 100000 as
its share for constructing road. Surely
this is worth striving for, and surely
there is not county in the state tha,
will willingly let this great opportunity
slip BY for obtaining some real roads
and 10 be connected up by them with
every other part OF the state. The
time for action Is now. Get in touch
with the State Department, have the
roads approved and begin the surveys.
County courts and Others interested
in having good roads should get in
touch at once with the State Highway
Department in order that the prelimi'
nary arrangements may be made. Al
ready several counties are making
preparations to avail themselves Of the
opportunity, and by the middle Of the
summer it is expected that the dir,
will be flying all over the state.

Wear Distinguished Service
Crosses,

The work and expense Of returning
the 2,0jG,122 men who were sent TO
France to fight the battle Of democ.
racy is one OF the big expenditures
which the Victory Loan will meet.
However, that Is only one Of the ma.
jor expenses,
In order to impress what funds are
needed in this work, It must be re.
membered that the men not only are
to be brought back, but they must be
provided for while In France awaiting
their turn must be fed, clothed, given
medical aid and kept In such condition
that they can take up their work
where they left off when they enlisted
in the fight for universal freedom
among the people of the world
To contemplate the immensity OF
the work Of transportation from
France to the United States, It is nee.
essary to reason inversely from the
transportation and expense of getting
them 10 Europe less. OF course, the
danger which the troops ran OF sub.
marines on the trip across. With all
Of the work Of transportation, the
United States Government had started
352922 men for the American shores
up to February 20, following the sign.
ing Of the armistice on November II,
Seventy per cent OF this number. or
24568S, were carried in American
ships. But 80 far as expense OF trans.
portation must be borne by the gov.
ernment irrespective Of whether the
men are brought back In ships flying
the American flag or the flag Of some
allied country. The expense is to be
met by the Victory Loan.
Naturally, the troops who had been
called into the service but had not
had an opportunity to be transported
abroad when the Germanic power col
lapsed have been discharged In larger
numbers than It has been possible for
those In foreign service. Statistics
prepared by General March show that
including those in the United States
as well as those returning from
abroad, a total OF i.224,5O7 men and
77,452 officers have been discharged.
The orders for discharge have been
issued for 1911, 900, of which 1923, 500
have been for troops within the United
States.
OF those troops sent abroad II Is OF
interest to realize that 3,s1s have been
awarded Distinguished Service Crosses

American people going to be Just as
conspicuous for gallantry in their
treatment of these soldiers as the sol.
diers themselves have been on the bat.

bridge of more than a clear span Of 20
feet, it will only be necessary for the
local people to raise e'halt Of the
amount necessary to build It 10 a
proper standard and this may be
matched against a like amount Of
Federal money and the bridge con-
structed. The reason that all these
plans must be approved by the FEEDER
al Bureau Public Roads is the fact that
the Federal Government is putting up
one half Of the cost, and it very prop
erly requires that the roads and bridges
in which it participates, shall be built
according to proper standards.
The law will permit the construction
OF any character Of road that is desir-
able and suitable to the need Of the
community which it serves. It does
not bind the counties TO any hard and
fast rules in this regard, as the old law
does. The only requirement that Is
made is that the road shall be built
according to proper standards, In
case any county has surplus alter it
has constructed its share oil state roads,
this surplus may be used in building
other roads, Of like standards, provid-
ed they connect up with the state
roads. Each county court must levy
the rs cent special road and bridge
tax, as provided in the constitution,
in order to take advantage Of the Law
and participate in the division Of the
funds.
The purpose Of the law is to build q
genuine state wide system Of good
roads, and to lay the foundation ioI
such a hard surfaced system. Ar
amendment will be submitted at the
next general election to be voted up
on TO determine whether or not tn,
people Of the state desire hard sur
faced system which will give to the
state a system Of roads which may bt
used every dag in the year. Undel

insufficient provision for revenue TO
meet the financial deficit OF the state
for the ensuing biennial period. He
calls attention TO the remaining few
days Of the regular session and that
salary increase bills have been a prin'

many Of these salary expenditures now
pending are excessive and unless the
deplorable taxation proposition Of our

will have to apply his veto power.

The Mccullough Morgan road bill
is now law, having been signed by
the Governor on the 17th. No small
measure of credit is due to Jas. G,
Morgan Of Putnam, a Republican, fol
placing this law in our statutes,
The first thing for the county to do
Is 10 have the location OF the highways
decided upon by the state department;
then the character Of the road must be
determined whether it is TO be earth,
macadam, or any other kind Of a hard
surfaced road, After that is done, the
survey must be made, together with
the plans, specifications and estimates
Of cost. The survey may be made
by the State Highway Department, but
il that is done, not more than 500
per mile will be deducted from the
county's share, 10 pay the cost there
Of. II the county has a competent
highway engineer, or can employ one
this work may be done by him, sub
ject to the approval OF the State High
way Department, and a considerable
saving will be made to the county.
After the survey and plans have
been made, and they have been sp'
proved by the State and Federal
Highway Departments, there will be
allowed to the county the sum OF 81, e.
200 per average mile for constructing
the proposed highway or highways.
In case this amount, is sufficient to
pay the entire ccst thereof, no addi.
tional money is required Of the county.
In case the character Of the road re-
quires more than the expenditure Of
81 200 per mile it will be necessary
for the county, political subdivisions
thereof or interested persons, to raise
one e'half Of the amount necessary, and
match this against that much money Of
Fedarsl funds, That will give enough
