Sacrifices Business
For Good Roads Sake

TOPEKA, Kas. (R-John w. Gard
ner of Marion, Kans., made a sacrifice
to the cause of good roads when he be-
came state highway director.
He disposed of his interest in lum-
ber firm because a law specifies that
no person may be appointed state
highway director if he profits from the
sale of building materials.
81 shall lose money because of the
job, even if it does pay $4,000 a year"
Gardner said when he became boss of
the $500 mile state highway system.
"But I have become so enthusiastic
about better roads for Kansas that 1
am willing to make sacrifice for the
good of the state.''
