FIRST NUMBER LECTURE
COURSE JANUARY 20

Owing to the epidemic Of Influenza
the Lecture Course given under the
auspices Of the High School has not
been opened. But now that the cpl
demic seems to have subsidized, the
first number will be given January
goth.
1t is unfortunate that this long de-
lay has been necessary, but we are
assured that the talent will be fur
nished practically as contracted for.
And we hope that the course will be
well patronized this year.
The numbers and dates as nearly
as they may be determined at this
time are:
Ralph Parlette, Lecturer, January
30.
Judge Geo. D. Alden, Lecturer,
February 3rd.
John B. Ratio, Costume Artist,
March 8.
Guila Adams, Entertainer, date not
fixed.
Columbians, Musical Number,
date not fixed.
We have never been able to Sc
cure more promising course and we
believe our patrons will find it
source of pleasant and profitable en-
tertainment.
We have made arrangements with
the management Of the Majestic
Theateer to use their house for the
entire course. This change has been
made because of the greater seating
capacity of the theater than the
Christian church where the course
was formerly held.
Tickets will be on sale at Taylors,
beginning Monday, January Goth.
Season tickets with reserved seats
will be sold for 81 for adults and
$3.50 for children.

Kansas people must not stand still
The world is moving forward at 8
rapid pace. A few years ago 81, O0O,'
100000 appropriated by congress
was subject for a campaign issue
Now our people donot blink or shud-
der at the expenditure Of many bill
lions for things that are necessary.
Kansas communities have in the past
labored hard and long to raise few
hundred dollars for some worthy pur-
pose. These same communities have,
within the past year raised many
thousands Of dollars with very little
effort. A few years ago the average
Kansan was as much afraid of bonds
as he was of a snake. Now about
every man, woman and school child
have bonds in their pockets or lay
ing on the mantels at home like so
many coupon books on the corner
grocer. The proposition to issue
bonds to build paved roads does not
brighten anyone at this time. The
demands for improved roads is ma
tional and the state that does not
meet these demands will fail to ap-
preciate the sentiment of the time.
The Kansas farmer now has about
every modern convenience of the
city man except paved roads. The
city man is ready to help the farmer
get these and the farmer should be
quick to accept the offer.
Mud Tax is Enormous
The mud tax on the autos and
trucks of Kansas is enormous. 1t is
a real burden. The best way to
stop the tax and dump the burden is
to build hard-surfaced roads.
The members of the coming legis-
lature have the power to help in big
way to relieve the condition. They
will respond to the demands of their
constituents. If you are for this
big road program just tell your
state senator or member of the house
about it and do it now.

100000, 900 bond issue for the build
ing Of 1890 miles Of hard roads. They
have planned to pay the entire ex-
pense from the auto license fees. II
Illinois can do this why not Kansas?
Other States Are Busy
The people Of Pennsylvania voted
on election day overwhelmingly for
$50,000,e00 in bonds to build good
roads. Why cannot Kansas?
The people of Missouri are now
arranging a legislative program that
contemplates the issuing of $4,000
900 in bonds for state system Of
roads to be paid entirely from the
auto license. Kansas must not allow
Missouri to Guido her in good roads.
The Wisconsin highway commits
sioner has recommended to the legis-
lature of that state that it give the
people chance to vote on constitu-
tional amendment and also a bond
issue of $1O,OOO,O00 t. build 5000
miles of paved roads. The plan pro-
poses that the entire cost be paid from
the auto license fees. Why not
Kansas?
Indiana is proposing to issue $780,
900, 900 in bonds to build hard roads
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1919-01-16

and pay the entire cost from the auto
license fees. Jayhawkers can do any.
thing that Hoosiers can do. Indiana
now has over 10000 miles of hard
roads and wants more. Kansas has
about 800 miles.
The people Of Georgia are plan
ming to have the state issue $40, 00O,-
900 in bonds to build more good
roads. They now have $4,000 miles
Of hard roads. Kansas has about
800 miles. Do Kansans wants to be
so far behind the people Of Georgia?
Spend Money at Home
The governor of Oklahoma is rec
ommending to the legislature bond
issue of $30,000,OoO for good roads.
Does Kansas want the young state on
the south to Guido her in the matter
of building hard roads? Surely not.
The building of these good roads
will mean that large percentage of
their cost will be expended for labor
and material, nearly all of which re-
main in the county where the roads
are built or at least in the state. The
money will circulate at home and the
people will still have the good roads

Good roads cost real money and a
cheap roadway is better left unbuilt.
The part of the road you cannot see is
the most eXpensive-that is, the found
alton. If we were to build steam ships
on the same plan that we construct
many of our roads, how far from shore
would they sail? The foundation of
road is Just as important thereto as the
solid keel and frame to ship.
