ROAD BONDS
BIG PROBLEM
FOR SESSION

JEFFERSON CITY, Dec. 14.1one
OF the biggest problems before the
new Missouri legislature, which con-
venes january 8, is the framing of a
legislative program for the expendi-
ture OF the go million Of road bonds.
F~orseeing an almost inevitable
clash between the city members of the
legislature and the country members
power the distribution Of the road
money among the smaller counties.
the new administration forces have
been slow in deciding on a program.
Little has been done as yet toward
bringing the opposing interests to-
gether.
The trouble with the former road
programs in Missouri has been that an
attempt has been made to scatter the
road funds through the Id counties,
instead of using the money to build
trunk roads. One result has been that
in the last four years only a scattered
few miles of hard surfaced roads
have been constructed.
One Of the first moves in the state
to obtain a line on public sentiment is
the calling Of a meeting for next Sat-
,urday at Springfield. Business men
and legislators representing practic-
ally all the towns in thirty or forty
Southwest Missouri counties are ex-
pected at that meeting to begin a fight
to obtain a part of the 60-million bond
fund for the Ozark country.
The bond amendment requires that
the motor a license tax hereafter
must be applied to the payment of the
principal of the bonds. The interest
must be obtained from some other
source. Also, no provision is made
for road maintenance. All the bond
money must be used to build roads.
With the divcrting Of the motor car
license money to the payment Of the
road bonds, the biennial amount of
$400,0 goo seat roads no longer will be
available. State aid for the road
building also will terminate, unless
the legislature creates a new fund for
that purpose. v
There are l07 900 miles Of public
highways in the state. The present
law as established a state road system
of six thousand miles, giving two
roads in each county. If roads could
be built for $4,000 a mile the entire
so million dollars Of bonds. would be
used to construct the six thousand
miles But in many sections Of the
sSs hard surface roads cost several
times q AtAmount.
TheFsuggestion was made that the
newf road program he started by the
building of a demonstration road, run
ming from Kansas City to st. Louis, or
between two other large cities in the
state. 1t was pointed out that If the
new program began with the distri-
button of the bond money throughout
every county in the state, according to
road mileage, area or number of
motor cars, the huge fund would be
expended in a few years, and there
would be no continuous system Of
state roads. The issue before the new
legislature is whether the bond money
hall he expended for trunk roads or
for local roads within the counties.

Chronic CONSTIPATION.

There are people who never have
a movement of the bowels without
it is produced by a cathartic. Most
of them have brought that condition
on themselves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics that
take too much water out of the sys-
tenn and a~ggravate the disease they
are meant TO relieve. A mild laxa-
tive tonic like Chamberlain's Tablets
affords a gentle movement of the
bowels that you hardly realize has
been produced by a medicine, and
their use is not so likely 20 be fol
lowed by constipation.
