LEGISLATION. An Outline of Matters that may Come Before the Assembly. Jefferson City Tribune. The usual predictions of shortage in the revenue fund to linary and extraordinary expenses are being made. the state there is alarming in such prophesies. with nothing not been drawn 8 a@ warrant The iu their appropriation not cashed. institutions fre- quently over but this estimates Th 2 faws of the state appear to be work ing well. The leyy for state reve- nue is regulated by the constitution and for eral years to come will be fifteen cents on ‘tion. No changes of importance in the revenue law are anticipated is becar 1 8 GOOD ROADS. At this time it seems that the most important subject of legisla- tion will be in behalf of a general improvement of the public highways of the state. As yet matters are in chaotic condition in regard to secur- ingasystem of internal improve- ments. It is conceded that macada- mized roads are the best and the cheapest in the long run. A serious -difficulty will confront the assembly at the start in the shape of a consti- tutional provision which prohibits county courts from levying in excess of 10 cents on the $100 valuation for road improvement purposes In 1887 Hon. Theo. K. Gash of Clay county, now state senator from that ‘district, passed a law authorizing ‘counties to incur an idebtedness for macadamizing roads, but this in- wolves certain obligation on the prop- erty abutting such improvements, and kas only been taken advantage -of by a few counties in the state, or rather neighborhoods. The road laws of this state have ‘been changed by every new legisla- ture, ‘but a lack of revenue has pre- vented any system from accomplish ‘ing desired results. Ten cents on the $100 is just about enough to ‘keep the reads in repair so that it is possible to travel over them with a vehicle when the weather is not too bad. Therock roads that have been -eonstructed are the result cf popa lar subscription for the most part. twice the legislature has submitted an amendment to empower county courts to levy 15 cents on the $100, ‘ut each time the farmers have de- feated it by large majorities, which ~would seem to indicate that they do mot want good roads if they have to pay for them. An idea to the effect that convict ‘labor can be utilized on the public shighways prevails to a considerable extent. At the last session of the legislature Hon. George M. Lane of St. Louis county introduced a bill in the house which provided for begin ning the construction of four great ‘highways at the state capital to run to the four points of the compass, and the bill specified that convict la bor should be utilized. From these four highways, it was argued, roads ould be constructed in every direc- zion. The bill met with much fa-} vorable consideration, but was in- troduced too late in the session to | become a law in the usual course of such legislation. The convict labor ‘question will enter largely into leg islation looking to improvement of the highways. The labor unions-are | ‘bitter against a continuation of the -contract system and this will add ‘to the popularity of utilizing the labor of the penitentiary in pre- paring macadam or preforming lab- or on the roads. Serious objections will, of course be made against such an attempt to disturb the contract aystem. The cost of macadamized woads has not been generally discuss- ed, but it wili have a very important bearing on the future. Men who speak from experience, say that a goed system of roads will cost be- tweea $2,500 and $3,000 per mile THE SCHOOL LAW. Under this head a number of changes will be attempted. The in-| stitute law which requires teachers | to attend an institute every year at considerable expense has been assail- ed most bitterly, and the legislature | will be asked to repeal it.
