Of the county employing an engineer,
claiming 1t is useless expenditure of
county money. If each Of these will
take the trouble to investigate they
will soon convince themselves of the
error of their contention. They will
realize that the county commission
ers meet but one day each month,
yet the county commissioners are the
only persons who have jurisdiction
over road work if there is no engin-
eer. Who will claim that the roads
Of the county can be properly kept
up under such condition? Then
others say roads are no better since
the engineer has been employed. To
these we will say that roads are not
built in day or year, Ford coun-
ty has been working on her roads
for many years and we found many
roads in that county which were not
any better than some right here. 1t
takes time and work and money to
make roads and we have. not had an
active engineer long enough for any
one to judge as to the benefit.
Another thing: Unless we have an
engineer approved by the state we
cannot get state and federal aid.
Some say they do not want this aid
This is folly. Other counties and
states are getting it and why should
not Seward county have a share. We
have money in fund created by law
which cannot be expended except up
on permanent roads. It is our own
money, but we must spend it as the
law says and this fund has grown I'M
til it is large enough to match with
state and federal aid and build a
permanent road. There is strong
possibility that the next legislature
will pass law turning this into the
state road fund unless we spend it.
This was tried at the last session
and may get by this time. Eastern
Kansas wants the law because it can

and It Is one thing which gives Lib
eral and Seward county a black eye.
Now, for the first time we have
a condition which will enable US to
put this road in good travel condi-
ton, and yet there are lot Of peo-
Pile no seem to be overlooking the
matter, viewing it from the wrong
angle.
A we hear the discussion there APP
pears to be three elements which
threaten the building Of the road
through the six and one-half miles
OF bad sand.
These three elements are politics,
personal dislikes and ignorance OF
conditions. Do not understand us
as claiming that anyone opposing is
ignorant-we mean nothing of the
kind. What we mean is that some
persons are expressing dissatisfaction
through misunderstanding.
Well make this plain. There are
large number Of people who are
virtually up in arms over the matter
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1922-12-21

take this money away from the West
ern counties and use it in the east.
The safe plan Is to spend it accord
ing to law and keep it at home.
It is just as Joe Fuest said in
speech before the Chamber of Com
merce last week. We must lay
aside any petty spite or personal diff
ferences and stand together to pro-
tect our own interests at this time.
It makes no difference whether you
desire county engineer or not, the
fact remains that Seward county must
have an engineer to have roads; you
can lay aside your dislikes and have
roads or you can push it and go
without roads. That is the only al
tentative now.
But just why such an agitation
against a county engineer is not
plain. Seward county has always
had county engineer, Meade county
has one, Ford county has one, other
counties have them. Perhaps the
reason is that people did not know
we had one. Joe Trindle was for
years county engineer. Joe didn't
get much out of it, but he did not
devote great deal of time to it the
past few years. Abe Stoufer looked
after the office end of the job. But
the time has come when this is i'm
possible. It is necessary to have man
on the job steady to keep the work
up properly and see that there is no
waste in grading, or dragging con-
tracts. The work will be better done
because there will be plans and es-
Inmates on all work and the price
must be stipulated.
We would like to have the oppon-
ents of county engineer study the
proposition carefully, get all the facts
then act accordingly. Get first
hand information, free from preju-
dice and we'll trust them to decide
wisely. No one is stronger for
economy at this time than the Demo-
crat but from our long experience
in business we have found that eff
cient management is real economy,
and for this reason we see the need
of man to have charge of the road
work of the county.

SURFACE WORKERS TO

Mine operators Of the Tonopah and

but that the 25 cents a day increase
previously granted, should date from

wage scale Of 80 cents a day to
