Maysville should be thankful that

here again this year. Nearly thou

Some of the residents of West Third

when the city intends to send them

Pratt, June 3O.-Sheriff Joe Nc.
Coll received n telegram few days

a Ford car. He was to hold the car
but release the woman. The order
was from the sheriff Of Chautauqua
county, who wanted to be notified
Of the arrest.
The woman appeared. Sheriff
McColl did as he was instructed,
but the woman refused to- be sep

"YOu tell that sheriff when he
comes, to see me-" she ordered.
The Chautauqua sheriff came and
the woman was notified. They
were given Sheriff McCOl's office
for private conference. The
storm broke. They chastised, villi-

on subjects so purely personal that
Sheriff McColl knew it couldn't be

STATE CONTROL OF ROADS
Highway r-und Change Promises
Much For Kansas.

Removal Of the state highway
system from county control will be
sought in constitutional amend.
ment which the legislature will be
asked to submit. A double purpose
is to be served. 1t would put the
burden on the state to build and
maintain the main highways; also
enactment Of the proposed law
would remove development of the
highways from the haphazard pro-
gress of the present to systematic
extension of surfacing, it is stated.
The proposed bill would divert all
fees and taxes on automobiles into
the state controlled road fund. NJ.
w. Watson. state highway engineer,
estimates the benefits as follows:
"By diverting all the automobile
license fees. personal property tax
on automobiles and federal aid into
a state highway fund, in twenty
years Kansas would have $140,-
100000, or enough money to pave
a system of state highways which
would reach within five miles Of
81 per cent of the total population
of the state, S5 per cent of the total
valuation of the state and which
would carry So per cent Of the total
motor vehicle traffic of the state.
Save On Gasoline.
"Such system could be main
tanned efficiently by levying nomi
nal tax on gasoline and the motor
list would not be out anything, as
the good roads would save him an
equal or greater amount than the
gasoline tax, by reducing his gaso-
line consumption"
An instance where the new plan
would prove beneficial, pointed out
by Mr.. Watson, exists in Potta-
watomie county. After this years
paving program is completed, the
the only unpaved gap in the Golden
Belt highway from Abilene to Kan
sas City will be few miles in the
south end of that county. Two of
the county commissioners in Potta-
watomie live in the north part of
the county; they will not vote for
paving in the south district.
another point is that Pottawat-
Dmie county is relatively poor" de-
rlares G. l.. Campbell, district high
way engineer stationed in Salina.
Shawnee county. next to it, has
population. If that part
Of the Golden Belt highway through
county is paved, more
citizens Of Shawnee county will use
it than those who pay for it. 1t is
not fair that the citizens of poorer
be asked to build and
maintain roads that are used prin-
cipally by the whole state.
Thomas County Situation.
another example is in Thomas
At Colby, the county seat,
four main highways meet under the
federal-state plan. The mileage of
state highways in Thomas county
IS one -eightieth of the system. The
population is one-two hun
lred thirty third of the states. 1t
Is unfair to ask such a small pOr
ton of the states citizens to build
roads which will be used by big
portion of the population, and much
If the interstate motor travel, too"
