Higher Salaries

Attorney General McAllister has
been asked for an opinion to deter
mine whether measures passed at
the revision session of the Fiftieth
General Assembly will become eff
fective in August or in November.
II was generally understood in
legislative circles that revision bills
which did not carry an emergency
clause. would not become effective
until November.
The clerks in the executive Offices
of the State are the most interested
in the opinion of the Attorney Cen
eral. If he holds that the measures
are effective next month, the clerks
will be enabled to draw their in
creased salaries. The salaries Of
the clerks in the State offices were
increased from $500 to $2,40O a
year, the chief clerks from $2.400
to $4,000, while the State Labor
Commissioner and State Food and
Drug Commissioner were increased
from $1,000 to $500 year.

The Gard of Thanks"

Some supercilious persons poke
fun at the so.called card of thanks"
the brief newspaper notice by
which bereaved friends express
gratitude to those who have helped
them through periods of sorrow.
Yet those who have been through
sad experience have come up
against places where they find the
use OF these cards very helpful.
1t is not from any feeling of con
ventional politeness that a man is
impelled to visit newspaper Office
and insert a card of thanks. He
has been through the experience of
a distressing loss, is upset with
grief, and burdened by the many
things that have to be done at such
a time A great number of
friends and neighbors have done
acts of kindness and offered SYM
patty
He wants to recognize all this
friendly spirit. but finds it difficult
to, do so. He might sit down and
write letters to every one. But few
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1919-08-08

people have time for that. Many
persons write letters with great
difficulty. Some people have print
ed OF engraved cards distributed
which is thoroughly appropriate.
Yet there is always a likelihood that
some people would be unintention
ally omitted.
1t is simple and appropriate
thing, in such cases, for a family to
resort to the newspaper card, in
which they can make their graft
tude clear to all their friends. Thus
they relieve themselves of a heavy
burden in time of strain and show
that appreciation which everyone
feels on receiving kindly acts
Newspaper people have helped
great numbers of bereaved families
to formulate these notices. and are
glad to offer their services to put
the same into shape. They should
do it. not as a mere item in a days
business like taking in a Want ad.
but with some feeling that they are
helping 10 the exchange of human
sympathy. and doing a bit to re-
lieve the suffering of the world.

"Whv" of Good Roads

The why" of the good roads
boom that has struck the entire
United States and has led to the
construction of thousands of miles
of hard roads with the expenditure
of many millions of dollars and
plans for many more thousands of
miles and millions Of dollars, was
explained by j. Frank Smith. man.
ager of the Goods Roads Associa-
ton of Greater Kansas City. Half
a dozen causes have made the
boom inevitable, Mr.. Smith said
There is first of all the enormous
increase in the number of motor
vehicles in. the country, especially
among the farmers, 80 per cent of
whom now use motor cars or
trucks. With good prices for the
big grain crops and thirty. five ceuts
pound for cotton, 80 per cent of
the farmers will soon have motor
vehicles of some kind.
But the necessity of hard roads
is clearer than ever just now, be.
cause for six months of the winter
and spring the dirt roads were mud
puddles and impossible for most
motor vehicles.
Then practically every soldier
who has returned from service
abroad is a booster for hard roads.
He has seen the roads of France
and knows the value of hard sur
face. He regards hard roads as a
material factor in winning the
war;"
Prosperity, Mr.. Smith pointed
out, is not confined TO the farmer.
1t is general, and owners of motor
cars in the city are making many
long trips through the country.
Motorists come to the offices of the
Automobile Club of Kansas City al.
most every day inquiring about

The revenues to the GOvernmeht
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1920, will amount to at least $780,
100000, according to information
sent TO all banks and trust com

Glass. The expenditures will not
exceed the revenues.

Two Spots

The best form of advertising is
newspaper space. and the second
best is a we'll painted and neatly
kept building that helps the town
look like a live one.
Some one wants to know what
has become of the farmer that used
to take city boarders? Well. soma
of 'em are keeping real cattle now.
In order to enjoy the picnic sea-
son, it is not absolutely necess airy
to decorate the roadsides with cast
away lunch boxes and waste paper.
Now there is no longer fear of a
Hun advance, why not put up some
kind of a barrase against the ad-
vance of prices?

transt ontinental routes. Some of
them come from the extreme
Eestern states
Government aid is liberal in the
matter of building roads," Mr.
Smith said. land Congress is in a
mood to vote still larger appropria
tons for this purpose. Without
this federal assistance, good roads
would be impossible 10 many sec
tons.
There is one other factor 10 the
situation which should not be un-
derestimated. State and federal
aid make it possible for towns,
whose main streets form a connect
ing between highways for which aid
has been extended. to pave these
streets at little cost locally. A
Kansas town with a main street
one mile 10 length would need about
$4,000 for paving. Federal aid
would pay half this cost; the coun
ty, generally, a fourth, and the town
would be left to raise only $500
for $4,000 worth of paving"
