country.
Nebraska and Arkansas, fol
lowing Governor Major's lead,
have set apart certain days for
road work. The idea is spreading
in all directions and will be be
come national in its proportions
within another year.
Missouri's treasury is enrich
ed to the amount of about $18,000
per month these days, thanks to
a Democratic legislature which
broke up a bankers' trust by a
law which permitted - country
banks to bid for state deposits.
A much higher rate was secured
as a result of this law.
Work on the new state capital
at Jefferson City is progressing
nicely. The foundation will be-
finished within a month and bids

taxpayers will have gotten full
value for every dollar expended.
Men of character, experience and
integrity are on the job and there
wili not be graft to the extent of
one penny when it is finished.
