We) | believe that is not a mooted question. | | For years the only question has been the how. The statute provides that | when a county wishes a new court | house or jail and bas not the availa |ble cash to build the same, that | bounds have to be issued, or a special | | tax levy made to pay for it at once. | |The statute further provides that, | when the available funds is in the } county treasury and not otherwise appropriated the county court can jorder such a building aud pay for |same. Now we have repeatedly tried | the former plain, but there are al- ways enough voters in a county who | have a great dread of that lit- tle word bond, to defeat the propo- sition. It is evident that if we have to wait for a new jail until the peo- ple vote the bonds, Bates county will go without that building for many years to come. As to the second place, Bates county is now out of debt and after the taxes are collected this year there will be money in the treasury. The county court will do a wise act if it will make an order creating a jail fund and set aside enough money to pay for the same. We believe the people of Bates county, regardless of party affiliation, would sustain the court in such an ection. Let us have a new jail by all means. Judge Walter Q Gresham is not a politician. But he is a great stu- dent of political and economic ques- tions. Heis an independent voter and the party that secures his vote is to be congratulated. Judge Gresham has the following to say ot Mr. Cleveland’s selection of secre- tary of the treasury: “Carlisle 1s a great man and knows all about the tariff and can make no mistake. I predict for him a successful career in the treasury, end also in two years I expect to see the finances of the country so plain and so simple that a boy can write a statement of the treasury aud understand it. As it stands now the more statements we read of the condition of the treasury the less we know. But Carlisle can be trust ed and he will succeed in bringing order out of chaos, and if be does he is my candidate for president in 1896, and there is not a man in the country that can beat him for the nomnation and election.” He says further: “I want you to understand that I ama democrat ouly so far as the democrats go my way of thinking. That is to say,that I am only a dem ocrat on the tariff and economy questions. I consider the tariff as the only great question dividing the two parties. But should the demo- crats fail to keep their pledges, not one of these men (independents) will be found voting the democratic ticket in 1896.” The Rich Hill Review, in a well written article advocates the claims } of ex-representative, Hon. J. H. Hin ton for the office of assistant com missioner of Indian Affairs. Mr. Hinton has been in the Indian department at Washington for a number of years and is familiar with the duties of the office to which he aspires. The people of Bates eounty recognize Mr. Hinton’s worth and ability and would be glad to hear of his promotion. The Review says of him. “Hon. J. H. Hinton isa gentleman | of polished manners and good ad dress. His honesty of purpose, his ability and his reliability of trust are unquestionable—and these are qualities that should be possessed by men occupying executive posi- tions. Col. Hinton’s services were valuable to our people and honora- ble to himself, and for these reasons we ask his promotion at the hands of the President-elect.” Warden Pace Files His Bond. Jefferson City, Mo.. Jan. 23.— James L. Pace of Butler, filed his bond as warden of the Missouri pen- itentiary to-day. It is signed by aty to hold primary elections at each post office to elect post-masters President Cleveland is hard at work on his cabinet.

The State Convention Completes Its/ Work and Aajourns, Sedalia, Mo., Jan. 20—The Mis- souri state roads convention, after a two days’ session, completed their labors at 6 o'clock this evening and | adjourned sine die. The entire fore noon was taken up with the diseus siun of the best methods of building | rock roads, and of the question “Shall rock roads be built by coun-! ties or by private corporations?” The almost unanimous opinion was in fa- vor of letting contracts for building roads to contractors. At the after- nvon session the committee on res- | olutions reported, and the good work accomplished by the conven- tion was summed up in their report aud was made after cousultation with the senate and house commit- tees, which have been attending the deliberations of the road builders. The resolutions which were discuss- ed seriatim and adopted, were as follows: That roads should be worked un der the direction of a competent county supervisor. Work on the roads should be as far as practicable under the contract system, the contractors to give bonds for faithful performances of their contracts. That property tax for road pur poses should be paid into tke coun ty treasury as a general county road fuud aud should be applied by the roud supervisor where most needed. Poll tax should not exceed $2, to be paid by all able bodied men over 21 years of age, the same to go into the county treasury as a general county road fund. All new or improved roads should be located on ground best adapted tor road purposes, taking into con sideration material and grade, with- out ary referenee to government lines cr surveys. The legislation asked of the gen eral assembly was set forth as fol lows Such laws as will enable the counties to secure a practical appli cation of tke best methods of im proving roads. A local option law that will enable a county toaccept or reject the pro posed road law. It is not the sense of this conven- tion that the present road law be repealed, but amended The general assemby should sub- mit to the people a constitutional amendment, allowing counties tu levy not to exceed 20 cents on the $100 for road purposes, and also to issue bonds to run not longer than 20 years, the interest and principal to be paid out of the county road fund, the issuing of such bonds to be determined by the vote of coun- ties wishing to issue such bonds. The following supplemental reso lutions were offered by the commit- tee and adopted: We hereby declare our conviction to be that local option is the basis of the solution of the road question in this state, and therefore provision should be made by law whereby counties, townships, districts or other subdivisons of the state may organize upon a vote of the resident real estate owners in such county, township or district. That the present road law should be so amended as to provide a su pervisor of roads for each county, who shall supervise and instruct district overseers. That overseers be paid per diem. That overseers should be elected | at a general election or appointed by the county court with the advice | and consent of county supervisors. The road districts should be form- ed without regard to school dis- tricts Mr. Thurmond of Callaway offer ed the following resolution, which was adopted, with only two dissent- | ing votes: | That it is the sense of this con- vention that a constitutional con-; vention be called to submit to the people a new constitution. During a recess uf the convention in the afternoon the Missouri State Roads Association elected the fol- lowing officers for the ensuing year: president, J. L. Erwin. of Callaway; yice president, Judge o i. Hous- ton, Greene; secretary and treasurer Levi Chubbuck, Boone; trustees, George Harned, Cooper; B. E.
