INTERESTING ROAD STUFF.

In this issue of The Star is an arti- cie that should be read by every citi- zen of Polk county and good many others. It is from the Little River News, published at Ashdown, county seat of Little River county, the second county south of Polk.
 This article tells of the formation of the seventh--count lem, please, Mr. Highway Objector- improved road district to be formed in Little River county, and this district expects to build 70 miles of highway at cost of approximately S500,000.
 But read the article, and then, please, take the fact home that Sevier county, the first south of Polk, has al- s5 organized her fourth t4tb) district for building rock roads.
 The big thing, taken in detail, is fhiss
 4 little more than three years ago, Little River organized her first road district and built one good road. And a little more than two years ago the road knockers--some of the same we still have with us--were trying to prove by Little River people that the cost was unreasonable, the enterprise rninous to farmers and altogether bad and unpopular.
 And now, in spite of all this levi dencey and proof, in two years those Little River people have organized six--count 'em- more districts--the last for a bigger project than pending in Polk county.
 In Sevier county her first highway was begun a little more than two years ago. And we heard from the kickerss some of whom threatened the county officials of Sevier, and the road commissioners and then, almost by the time the first enterprise was fin- ished three more are started in that county.
 And. so far, we don't even hear of the kickers.
 Strange about these neighbors of ours, is 1t not. Mr. Road Objector7
The Mena weekly star., 1919-04-10

Another popular stunt is to prate about that awful Alexander Road Iaw.y According to the objectors-- their printed word that law in it's iniuuitv is discredited most ever- where. The people are just naturally "aQ'in7 it and won't have it--and yet, all these and scores of other improve ment districts are being formed, and roads built, under it's provisions.
 Getting down to the bone of the thing, the trouble is the Alexander Road Law, from the angle of the ob- structors, was constructed for the use of the people who want to do things--want to build good roads. There were few things put in that law for the comfort and consolation of the chronic kicker and pullback. Not many weak spots were left, nor hand holds attached for the fellow who gets most out of life by tying the hands of people who want better things for themselves and their chil- dren than their forebears were able to secure.
 Yes, the law has it's faults. There's a provision or two that we would like to change-but it's one best point is it's imperviousness to the efforts of chronic obstructors.
