A: i .1 it,., i

our senators and members of
Congress to give their earnest
and Berious consideration to leg
islation Mich ns tho Simmons
bill, looking toward federal aid
to states in construction and
maintenance of the public higli
wav, "Resolved, That it is tip sense
of this association that I lit-State
should appropriate out of the
general tiensnry for the con
struction and tuaint'-nnnceo'ihe
public highways of the State the
aim of $1,000,000 annually."
The foregoing contains t h e
germ of genuine relorm. The peo
ple will have to speak in loud
tones be ore tic legislators can
hear them. We believe avast ma
jority of those who have stu lied
the .situation will favor putiing
the '' Lute's convicts on the pub
lic farms instead ol working
them on farms iu competition
with honest labor; and we ue-
lieve the returns would he t a r
gteater to the stae in the end.
The politician and most of the
office-seekers wdl tell yon that
the State penitentiary should not
be molested in its farming opera
tions; that it is a paying propo
sition, making a neat balance
every year tha goes into the
treasury and that to that extent
the taxpayers are relieved. Hut
we believe that, if the State con
victs were put to work construc
ting public high ways.throiigh the
counties, the results in actual
cash would so'ui be far greater
than the net or gross, earr.ings
from the State mrm. There is
nothing that creates and stimu
late property values cq jal to
;gU() I fOil'IS.
Then the vr.lu 'and nn;ot fonee
of having competent engineer
ing in laying tuit roads in their
construction is too apparent to
admit of argnnu nt umong men
who have had experi tico iu buil
ding roads.
The ques' ion of federal aid is
beginning to loom quite large,
liut it is in the future. It can
not be expected until the State
is doing something substantial
in the way of helping itself. Sen
ator Simmons is working along
the right lines and is showing
himsell alert to every possibility
for helping along the d u-elop-ment
of the State. He is in a po-
sit ion to get all that is "coming
to us," and may be depended up-
I on to do it.

The common schools gave her
the education that prepared her
