STATE WILL SOON
MAINTAIN 3 Pixies
Madison Taxpayers to Be Reliev-
ed of Big Sum For Upkeep
After This Year

After this year Madison coun-
ty taxpayers will be relieved of
the entire cost of upkeep of a
large portion of three of the prin-
cipal turnpikes of the county.
The county's road department
is now finishing ditching on the
Big Hill pike, toward Berea. This
is part Of the Dixie Highway, and
after it is properly ditched by the
county, will be taken over by the
State Road Department for fur
ther maintenance. 1t is planned
to complete surfacing with tar for
seven and half miles, it is under
stood by advices from State Com
missioner Joe S. Boggs. Two
and half more miles will be so
surfaced from Richmond south
ward and five and a half miles
this side Of Berer, }
The State Department will also
take over four miles of the Red
House pike. from Stone Run
creek to the old Boonesboro pike,
Just this side of the Beach pro-
Perty. This portion of the pike
was rebuilt under state aid, and
will therefore be taken over by
the State Road Department for
future maintenance.
Then, with the completion OF
of seven miles OF the Lexington
pike, under state and federal aid
this year, that much of that high
way will go into the hands OF
state road engineers for upkeep.
In this way, it will be seen that a
large part of three of the most
travelled thoroughfares in the
county will soon be in such shape
that they Will be at no further ex-
pense to the taxpayers of Madi-
son county for maintenance. This
will naturally release a large fund
which has had to be spent for
them in past years, for use in i'm
proving and building other roads
in the county. 1t will prove
very satisfactory example within
a short time of what state aid and
federal aid will mean to county
which is willing to cooperate and
secure state and government
money.
County Road Engineer J. G.
Baxter has large crews of work
men rushing final work on the
highways above named which are
ready to be taken over by the
state at once. OF course, the
Lexington pike maintenance will
come after it is completed.
Mr.. Baxter has received Motif
cation from Frankfort that the
rock from the quarry here has
been approved for base work on
the Lexington pike. 1t is neces-
sary for government experts to
examine and approve all rock and
other materials which go into the
construction of highway which
is built with federal funds. Engi-
necr Johnson, from the state de-
paitment, finished his preliminary
plans and specifications some
weeks ago, and they have been i'll
Washington for examination and
Mr.. Baxter has receiE-
led word from Frankfort that
the contract will be let for the
work about May lst.
A contract will be made with
the county, it is understood. for
10000 tons Of Richmond rock for
$4,000. A big force of men will
be put at the quarry as soon as
possible so as to cause no delay
anywhere in the work.

forces to the election of one out of
large number Of candidates and would
thus again secure it's majority on the
commission. This has no place with
people who believe in government by
majorities. Perhaps it would work
well for awhile, if capable and honest
men should happen to be elected to
the commission. So also Is a mon
archy good-if it happens to have a
good ruler. But the security of the
people lies in the power of their bal
lot-and the people are jealous Of that
power. They will not surrender it:
Praise Women.
Women have just attained the right
OF suffrage. They have had no oppor-
tunity as yet to vote in city election.
They are most vitalIy interested in
their city government, more so than
in state and national affairs-for the
quality of city government directly af'
fects the home and living conditions.
Women have just now secured the
ballot which they will WELD in the
interest of good city government.
Women are not afraid of their respon-
sibility. They are not lacking in
confidence. They will throw into the
balance a mighty influence by the
power of their votes, and righteous
ness will be secured-if they retain
their suffrage and the majority rule.
If we adopt the factional and minor
ity rule of the city manager plan and
discard the majority rule of the
present plan, our safety will be i'm
peri]ed.
Prudence dictates that governments
long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes.
Declare Position.
The right to elect a chief executive
should not be removed from the
people. We believe in the direct re.
sponsibility of officers to the people,
and we hold that the right of the
people to elect their officers by their
direct votes is a fundamental prin
ciple of our institutions. the sound
ness of which is indisputable. This
! principle should be enlarged in prac-
tice rather than curtailed and Our
! liberties and securities will grow in
| the richness Of their enjoyment, in
the proportion that such trust and
! power incresaes in the hands Of the
| people.
Government is not comparable to a
business enterprise, where the only
Government has different function
1t necessarily includes legislative and
judicial powers as we'll as executive
and administrative acts. Government
is not a business organized for profit
but is an institution established tc

Adopted by Unanimous Vote

within, so also has our city govern
ment as constituted been able to with
stand and repulse the onslaughts Of its
enemies-and so will it continue.
Say Minorities Rule.
I'VE believe in popular government
by majorities of the people and not in
government of the people by factions
or minorities. Under the city mana
ger plan the commission of five mem
bers Is elected. With large number
of candidates for the commission
those elected may receive but small
fraction in number Of the people s
votes. This is subversive of our fun
damental doctrine and theory of gov.
ernment. which doctrine or theory has
been justified in practice and has Sc.
cured to the people the highest attain
ments of civilization.
We believe in the capacity of the
people to select their officers by ma.
jority vote-we have confidence in
the righteousness of their expression
at the poles.
In matters of policy in city govern
ment the issues should be squarely
drawn-just as in our national affairs
with but two opposing factions SO
far as possible, so that the will OF
the majority of the people can be
obtained upon any such issue. This
cannot be under the city-manage1
plan. Each candidate for the commits
sion is for himself alone-in theory he
represents no political party-electeo
at large and from no particular ward
or district-he represents only him
self or the faction or machine thai
fostered his candiracy.
Predict Machine Rule.
Government by factions and politi
cal machines would reign supreme
with the city manager form. The
people have not even the right to re
call! Once intrenched on the com
mission there is never a chance tc
oust them. The people would have
no opportunity to elect an entire new
commission, for there are always two
or three commissioners who hold theil
office through each election. Three Of
the commissioners constitute a ma
jority and they determine the policies
and decide all questions. What an op
portunity for corruption!
With two members intrenched OF
the commission, the faction in powel
would by it's insideous machine poll
tics centralize and concentrate it:

rights with which they were endowed
by their Creator These rights are
life. liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness.
Claim Waste.
While this is true in the largest
sense, there are also prudential af-
fairs in city government We believe
that these affairs should be handled
with economy; and experience has
shown that the present form Of govern
nent, which is truly representative Of
the people, is more economical than
the new plan. The necessary cost Of
the new government is greater. The
chance for corruption and waste of
public funds is greater under the new,
because the city-manager is a law unto
himself; he has the sole administra-
tive and executive authority; he
alone lets and awards contracts call
ing for large expenditures Of public
funds; in all probability he would not
be even a resident of the state; he
would have no ties Of honor, business.
kinsSip or friendship to initiate
against the temptation to do wrong.
Fear Corruption.
What assurance is there that three
commissioners would vote to dis
charge a corrupt manager? What
chance would the people have to clean
out such commission when there is
10 provision for recall and when at
the next election at least two and per
haps three Of the commissioners
would be holdovers? We are opposed
to this plan, as we believe it to be
nefarious in its operation and destruc.
tive Of good government
Under the present plan the people
have the right and power of electing
entirely new officers at any election
