Good Roads Movsmsnt

The Good Roads Amendment to the
Constitution" is not bond issue. Not
one cent Of money is appropriated by
the amendment, not a dollar of bonds
is issued. The passage of this amend
ment merely gives to the people of
the State of Kansas, through the
medium of the Legislature, right to
have State Aid in road building. The
details are left to the Legislature. It
is as reasonable TO assume that the
next and subsequent Legislatures will
be governed by the same inherent
principles of looking out for the best
interest of the people of the state as
had the members of the constitutional
convention which framed our consti-
tuition.
Bond issues of large sums are not
necessary to carry out the road build
ing program in Kansas. We are nat
urally limited by the availability of
labor, and materials to a certain
mileage each year. The amendment
prohibits the state from paying over
one-fourth of the cost or $4,000 per
mile. 100000. state aid would
assist in building at least 800 miles of
road in a year. For a number of
years there has been spent annually
from seven to nine million dollars on
our present roads and bridges. How
many people have been forced into
bankruptcy ny paying these taxes?
vote for the Good Roads Amend
ment is taking step forward. A
state must either advance or go back
wards.

ciples, policies and performances
ductive slogans seem superior to
sound craftsmanship. Misjudging
mems mentality, he makes mlmmery
a mask for mendacity. With peace
prevented by presidential perversity,
progress postponed by paternalism,
and prosperity primarily produced by
war profits, a political party presumes
to predicate its pleas upon prevarL
