Three routes have been proposed and are under consideration, and trips of inspection will be made next week by a committee consisting of the Governor, Highway Engineer, members of the State Board of Agri- culture and business men of St. Louis and Kansas City. After an inspection of each of the three proposed routes the committee | will meet in Jefferson City, Aug. 2d, for the purposes of hearing claims | from the various sections of the State and to locate the route to the best ad- vantage to the State at large as pre- sented. i The routes under consideration are designated as the Southern, the Cen-! tral and the Northern routes. The) Northern route lies almost wholly; north of the Missouri river and 347| miles in length. The Central route! crosses the Missouri river twice, and | very nearly follows the old Santa Fe! trail. It is 316 miles in length. The! Southern route, in which the counties south of the Missouri river are the throughout Southwest Missouri, the benefits of which would be inestim- able. Bates county should without fail ~ send a large representative delegation to Jefferson City, August Ist, to meet with the locating commission and there present our claims for the Southern route.

The contract also provides that the county furnish the purchasers legal advice as to the legality of the issue under the laws of the State of Mis- souri; shall deliver the bonds to the purchaser, and shall allow purchaser $342.00 for the preparation of blank bonds. . The County Court, in selecting proposition No. 2 displayed wisdom and foresight, this proposition being without question the better of the three for Bates county. If the bonds are taken by the purchasers as the court has reason to believe they will be, as follows: $50,000 Oct. 1, 1911; $30,000 on Feb. 1, 1912, July 1, 1912, and Oct. 1, 1912; and $31,000 on Jan- uary 1, 1913, the accrued interest will amount to $8500, which together with the bid of $1150 above » would amount to a premium of $050. ‘reached in the United States Senate |today.

It is practically cer- tain that the House will agreee to the |Senate’s amendments. The new and important law is now as good as writ- ten into the statutes. As it came from the House the bill changed the act passed by the last Congress and required publicity be- fore as well as after any election.’ In the Senate the House measure, which was originally proposed by Repre- sentative Rucker of Missouri, was made applicable to State primaries. Candidates for both houses are in- cluded. Three pre-election _state- ments must be filed containing not only itemized accounts of funds, but of all expenses of whatever character and settieg forth all promises made either by the candidate or for him. In this form the bill came from the Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections. Additions of a stringent nature were added on the floor of the Senate today. : By an amendment offered by Reed of Missouri, accepted after much wrangling the total expenditures of candidates for the Senate or House in any campaign are ‘limited to 10 cents for each voter in the State or district, respectively, the aggregate not to ex- ceed $10,000 for a Senator and $5,000 for a Representative.
