TRIBUTE TO MISSOURI
ROAD SYSTEM
Chairman of Highway Commission
Praised-Railroad Laws Should
Be Repealed, Says Mcdonald.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 5-Praise
for the Missouri system which has es-
tablished highway commission free
from influence of the governor, and
eulogy of Theodore Gary, chairman OF
the Missouri commission, were ex-
pressed by T. H. Mcdonald, chairman
of the federal bureau of public roads
at the convention of the American as
sociation of State Highway officials
here today.
"What a pleasure" Mr.. Mcdonald
declared, "it must be for engineers
and commissioners to observe the
spirit expressed by Governor Hyde
yesterday. Not only did he tell of his
interest in road development, of his
support, but he made the most astound
ing assertion that many of us humble
road men have ever heard. He said
ne had no influence, personal or polit-
ical, over his highway commission
and did not care to have"
Turning to Mr.. Gary he said:"Here
is man of business achievement,w who
has driven his motor car over 10000
miles over America and Europe just
to find what good roads are"
"Would you scores of men," he add
ed, "who have wrestled more with
political whims and personal temper
aments than at the road work you are
trained for, rush at the chance Of
working for such an organization as
Missouri has shown u.s."
Asserting that Transportation il
the most important thing that con
fronts the citizens of any communi
ty," Mr.. Gary advocated the extension
of railroad service as well as high
ways. Railroads, he declared" are il
the grip of laws created by inexperi
enced legislators.
GAIL laws except those relating tt
the capitalization of railroad cqmpan
les" he continued, "should be repeal
ed and that great factor of transpor
tation be allowed to breathe again.

OVERALL FACTORY FUND

The writer called on business con-
Germ recently and made inquiry in re-
gard to their customers from the
Overall Factory. Last year they
didn't feel like paying their subscrip-
tion. / asked them what one steady
customer was worth to them. They
replied $500 per year. Of course
this would not all be profit in one way
and in another it would. They very
quickly saw what the factory meant
to them, and subscribed $500 per
year, payable $500 per month.
Several merchants don't seem able
to pay out so much at one time. That
is why the $1.00 per month plan was
adopted.
The Manager has asked that the
list of subscribers be published and
advises he expects to keep it posted
in his factory, so his employees may
know who is making it possible Tor
them to earn their salary. This LIST
will be published as soon as every one
has had an opportunity to subscribe.
If you have already subscribed and
have not paid, call at Commercial
Club office and make payment. NO
committee is working this. You know
as much about, it as any one else. II
you have not subscribed we attach
blank--fill it out, pin check for
amount to coupon, and hand it to the
Secretary of the Commercial Club, or
mail it In.
