BLEDSOE HAS
COMMON SENSE
Plan For The Building OF The Public
Highways OF The State OF
Mississippi.

inst. has the following mention of the
common sense plan advanced by Hon.
o. F. Bledsoe, Jr., for the building of
public highways in Mississippi:
Representative Oscar Bledsoe, Jr.,
of Leflore county, one of the best bus
mess men in the Legislature, is about
to accomplish the seemingly impos-
sible by getting together the contend
ing forces on the subject of good
roads legislation.
Champions of highway improve
ment in the House have given their
cordial approval of the Bledsoe plan,
and the chances seem good for its
adoption by the leaders in the Senate.
Briefly outlined, Mr.. Bledsoe elimin-
ates from consideration any question
of bond issue, and provides that the
motor vehicle tax, amounting to about
one million dollars per year be re-
tanned in the counties where collected
to be used on road building purposes,
providing each county guarantees an
By following this plan, says Mr..
Bledsoe, the State Highway Commits
sion will be able to get an allotment
of about $4,50O,OOO in Federal aid
funds, and it can be distributed in the
smaller counties, or counties where
there is urgent need of highway i'm
provement. Thus the weaker counties
will be helped even more literally
than could have been provided for un-
der the provisions of the Roberts or
Pate bills.
The measure also provides for the
adoption in substance of the provis-
ions of the McCallum bill already
passed by the Senate changing the
personnel of the State Highway Com
mission by retaining in Office the three
present commissioners, and authoriz-
ing the Governor to appoint five 9TH
ers, these eight commissioners to hold
office until their successors, one from
each Congressional district, can be
chosen in the primary elections this
summer and formally elected in Nov
ember
Mr.. Bledsoe holds view on the
highway building problem that has
not been voiced on the floor of eth
er body during discussions of the var
ious good roads bills, but which is new
ertheless fortified by stubborn facts.
Bonds are now outstanding in the
various counties of Mississippi total
ling fully $1s,OOO,OOO issued for road
building purposes" says Mr.. Bledsoe
"The money is actually of high con-
struction costs and the shortage of
labor. In dozens of counties the
awards of contracts have been deferr-
ed because of these obstacles.
at would be unbusiness-like to say
the least of it, for Mississippi to now
authorize bond issue of $4,000, ,OOC
or any other large sum, when we have
$4,000 900 on hand that cannot be ex-
pended. Furthermore, the issuance OF
a big bond issue would cause many
people to feel that they were going
to get good roads right away, and in
the end they would inevitably be dis
appointed. l believe that it is best tc
feel our way along, so to speak, un
til prices for lumber and material be-
come more reasonable, and then we
can in the meantime formulate a first
class program for road building ane
carry it to a successful conclusion

J. c. Coolidge has large wood
pile in front of the house. Most Of it
was originally chopped for stove wood
but several chunks were left for the
farmer, who is seventy-five years old,

he found all the larger pieces slith-

wood being intended for the fireplace,

Father Is Constable.
The governors father has been
town constable for forty years and
member of the legislature for nearly
as long. His aunt, Mrs. ]. j. Wilder,
who is past eighty years, lives In the
adjoining house. She and "Cal" sat
all one afternoon, reminiscing of the
days when the town was snow bound
and traffic impossible.
Governor Coolidge first learned of
the nomination of Governor Cox and
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the demo-
cratic ticket, the day after the nom
nations were made. The stage driv-
er driving the old fashioned stage
from Ludlow to Woodstock, brought
the news from Ludlow. It was nearly
a day old then. The governor had no
statement to make regarding the de-
mocratic selections. When asked
for one he said significantly that he
was preparing his speech for the
notification ceremonies at North
hampton, July q. He expected to
stay at his fathers farm until about
July %.
John and Calvin, the governors
two sons, are ardent anglers like
their grandfather and recently caught
twenty-five speckled trout. The gov
ernor himself is not a fisherman.
