CONTRACTS TO BE LET FOR
BOND ISSUE ROADS

The State Highway Commission
will let contracts for the construction
of roads under the sixty million dol
lars bond issue on the 10Th of Sep"
te!nber. The roads, Under the first
letting, will cost approximately one
and one-half million dollars. The
roads will be constructed in the fol-
lowinc counties: Glundy, Adair, Lew
is, Charlton Audrain, Usage, Gascon-
ade, Holt, Moran, Vernon, Lawrence,
Wright, Texas, Reynolds, Shannon,
Carter, Oregon, Perry and Cape Gl-
rardeau. Plans for the roads have
been prepared and they will be con-
strrcted on surveys already made:
They will be constructed of gravel
and biturinous Llacadam. Much OF
the first work will consist of grad
ing, preparator" to surfacing which
will be applied later.
1t is also contemplated that on the
18th of September bids will be open
ed for construction of 25 miles of the
so-called superior type roads on the
st. Louis-kansas City highway.
Twenty miles of this will be let in st.
CnarleS county ana H.lleS III Siay
county. The contracts in st. Charles
county will be divided into mile
stretches in order to comply with the
new law This construction will be
concrete of the best type. On many
of these sections it is expected work
will begin after the contracts are let
within a period of 30 days, so that
actual construction of highways in
Missouri under the new law will be in
full swing.
The State Highway Commission
expects to begin the construction Of
roads in other counties just as quick
ly lg possible and it is expected that
at least Ia other counties will be
ready with projects by the latter part
of October and another million and a
half dollars worth of work will be
let at that time. In this way the
Commission hopes to have, work go
ing in as many as fifty counties by
the first of the year and the other
counties will have projects ready for
contract very shortly thereafter.

the combined vote of Bogy, the two
Republican women, one Democratic
opponent, and two socialistic candi-
dates. 1t is predicted that Congress-
man Hawes and Senator Reed will
run together as a team in this con-
gressional district on election day,

Kansas City Democrats Chivalrous
Kansas City Democrats dealt as
fairly and we'll with a feminine
member of the party seeking polit-
ical honor there as the clan war
horses did in the Eighth Congress
sional District with Mrs. st. Clair
Moss, and those in st. Louis did'when
they nominated Mary J. Cowen for
Representative Sarah Lucille Tur-
ner was given the Democratic nomi-
nation for Representative by a vote
of 1854 compared to 894, her party
opponent, Harry B. Houf, received.
Three Kansas City Republican wo-
men, Kate r. Addison, Clara c. Leav-
ems and Helen l.. Vance, ventured far
enough away from home in the pri-
mary skirmish which terminated sud-
denly on August /, to seek the party
nominations in three different dis
tricts for Representative. They were
disastrously defeated, without con-
sideration for their sex, by Michael
A. o. Donnell, James S. Summers and
John w. Hill, respectively. On cleo
ton day the Republican women of
those three legislative districts, the
Fifth, Ninth and Tenth, will even is
sue and score triumph equally as
decisive for the sex which was scored
at the primary, by boiling the "gop"
nominees and voting to increase the
victory of the three Democrats, Ed
win G. Bush, VIM. T. Afford and Ed
win A. Harris. The success of Sa-
rah Lucille Turner, the Democratic
Representative nominee in the Sixth
district there over Eugene w. Col
vile, Republican, whose only claim to
election is that he has the audacity
and courage enough to make the race,
is proclaimed now as "probono pub

"bona fide."

Records Are Omen

Chairman Theodore Gary Of the
State Highway Commission has an
nounced a policy that the people Of
Missouri will be taken into the con-
fidence of the State Highway Com
mission in its work of building roads.
This is no idle promise on the part of
the chairman of the Commission, and
it is the intention of the Highway
Commission to give full publicity to
all road building projects that may
be undertaken by it in the future.
Many projects will have a sign at one
end giving the details of the project.

and the project engineer. 1t will de.
scribe briefly what may be expected
of the life of the road built. In this
way any one passing may have full
knowledge of just what the Commits
sion is doing upon that particular
stretch of road. This method will be
carried out on all road building pro-
jects of any consequence and it is
hoped that the Commission will have
the approval of the entire state in
this method of publicity.
The Farmington times., 1922-09-22
GOVERNOR HYDEs POOR ALIBI

Governor Hyde's speech in defense
of his administration before the Re-
publican state platform convention
continues the old cry that state taxes
have been reduced in face of receipts
being held for higher amounts by
farm and home owners of the state.
The speech of the Governor was along
the line of those which have been de-
livered by him since his first appear
ance following the adjournment of the
regular session of the legislature and
did not contain one new line of
thought.
Democrats were attacked for sub
mitting under the referendum the po-
litical consolidation bills passed at
the request of Governor Hyde after
they had been drafted and redrafted
to even meet the approval of Repub-
lican leaders who were forced to hold
their noses while urging them.
Governor Hyde laid much stress on
the budget bill which would require
consent of the Budget Commissioner
before any school district in Missouri
could purchase lead pencil or cord
of wood. This bill when first drawn
cut the very vitals out of the Secre-
tary of State and State Auditors of
fees and left them practically moth
ing but the state seal and such du-
ties as are placed on them specifically
by the constitution.
In showing the tax (?) reduction
Governor Hyde did not explain that
the taxes of the favored few had been
cut and that the farm and small
home owners of the state had been
required to pay more in each and ev-
cry instance in spite of the depressed
financial condition of farmers while
the income and corporation franchise
taxes have been reduced one-half.
To show that taxes on farm lands
have been increased TO un-heard-of
proportions only requires compari-
son of the value made by the State
Tax Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Gardner, Democrat, and the
Republican State Board of Equaliza-
tion headed by Governor Hyde. The
value recommended on farm lands by
the Tax Commission composed of
Roy d. Williams, an eminent Boon
vile lawyer; H. Choteau Dyer, law
yer and tax authority of st. Louis,
and W. A. Dallmeyer, Republican, a
widely known banker and farmer of
high standing, was $760,667, 1888. The
value on which farm owners were re-
quired to pay taxes by the Hyde re-
gime was $t,767, ,568, or more than
one billion dollars more. That's the
reason farm owners of Missouri are
required to pay increased taxes while
the more favored pay less. The in
crease on one billion dollars added to
the value of farm lands is $446,847.S5
for state taxes only.
If any one doubts these figures
just make a comparison of the tax
receipts for 1921 with any year pre-
vious.
The reason for the increased tax
levy from the people is the fact that
appropriations for the present bien-
nial period of the Hyde administra-
tion were $30,254,916.11 compared to
$17,816,6S0.99 during the last two
years of the Gardner administration.

Statewide Celebration

1t is expected that when the first
contract is let and work ready to
start upon the same that Chairman
Theodore Gary of the State Highway
Commission will turn the first spade
of earth. This will be made formal
occasion to which all road boosters in
the state will be invited. 1t is ex-
pected that the first section to be
started will be somewhere between
Columbia and st. Louis. The resi-
dents along the cross-state highway
will probably celebrate at Mineola
Springs, where they expect to hold a
big barbecue. 1t is expected that
there will be enough sheep and cat
tie barbecued to serve a crowd of over
5000 people. "A program of speeches
will be arranged by local commit
tee so that formal Inauguration of
the road building program will be a
memorable event in the annals of the

MR.. ANTwINES OPINION

"Mr. Harding's good offices in the
matter of the railroad strike and it's
consequent disaster to industry re-
mind me of story from town
down South in which two colored men
became so incensed at one another
that it looked as if there might be a
fight. The verbal threats were at
once boastful and terrifying, and it
was not long before most of the pop
ulation in the colored quarter gather
ed around to see which of the COM
batants would devour the other.
Finally, one of the principals in
this portentious drama drew himself
up to the full height of physical con-
tempt and exclaimed:
"Does you-all know what's de
mattah wifi you, niggah?'
"'Dey amt muffin de mattah wifi
me, you black trash exclaimed the
other.
"'Yas, dey is,' the inquisitor re-
Joined. DE trouble wifi you is you
bin cloud up but you can't rain
"Mr. Harding can cloud up but he
can't rain either. The result is that
without leadership we go from bad
to worse. The trouble with Mr..
Harding is that as the Moses who was
to lead US back to the promised land
of normalcy, he sees that pleasant
country receding from us to become
every day DINNER, without having
the hardihood to do more than sigh.
"He seemed to think we were to get
there by decree that this and that
would be the case, instead of agree
-
could be done to bring about the diff
ficult process of reconstruction. There
is common ground of justice in the
railroad strike, but it would take a
Roosevelt or a Wilson to bring both
sides to agreement upon it. Mr.. Hard
ing cannot do that. He can only
cloud up, Mr.. Antwine said.-Clark

RURAL SCHOOLS SHOW
MUCH IMPROVEMENT

|, A report from the office of State
Superintendent of Schools Sam A.
Baker shows that there are today in
Missouri 1,021 rural schools which
have met the requirements emitting
them to be classified as standard
schools, and 220 rural schools which
have met the requirements emitting
them to be classified as superior
schools.
Teachers, boards and patrons were
quick to recognize the benefits of this
plan, and as a result hundreds of
schools made the necessary improve
ments and were accordingly placed on
| the approved list, it was stated by
Superintendent Baker.
According to Baker, the principal
requirements for a standard school
are that the term be at least eight
months, the teacher have higher than
third-grade certificate, tie library
law requiring at least 100 volumes
be complied with, the State Course of
Study followed, and the school build
ings, grounds, etc. must be adequate
and sanitary. Certain requirements
fall upon the teacher, among which is
LnaJ Jne Ceacner De TeSuluF dIIeHu-
ant at county and township meetings
for teachers. A total of eighty points
must be earned.
The requirements for a superior
school, the report further states, in
clude all of those of a standard
school and in addition embrace Ii
brary of at least 200 volumes suitable
to school work, the teacher hold a
first-grade certificate or higher and
receive at least $85 per month, and
must have had four years of high
school work or its equivalent and the
school must hold at least four com
munity meetings during the year. A
total of ninety or more points must be
earned.
Supt. Baker said that before a
school can be placed upon either the
standard or superior list, it must be
inspected by either the county super
intendent or rural school inspector
and recommended for approval.

The Honorable Perry w. Howard, a
colored brother froEl Mississippi, is
holding an appointment as Assistant
to Attorney General at salary of
S., 1000 per year, but the business of
prosecuting illegal trusts and monop-
olies is SO slack that his services are
not needed at the Department of
Justice; hence, with a fine considera-
ton for the real needs Of hard
pressed party, the Attorney General
has loaned Mr.. Howard to the Re-
publican National Committee for the
purpose of going through Ohio and
Indiana seeking to line up the negro
vote. Increasing education and de-
veloping thinking power are steadily
removing the negro vote from its
former status as chattel Of the Re-
publican party. More and more the
colored brother is becoming inderend-
ent in thought and action. He is rec
ognizing the fact that the party has
accepted his support, without which it
could net elect one president ii twen-
ty years, anil gives him practically,
nothing in return. The race gets
about three good appointments and
a few dozen wash-rcom jobs for
about three million votes, without
which votes the Republican party
would present the spectacle of a dis
solving view.-Potosi Independent.
