We are authorized to make the ‘ollowing an- mouncement, subject to the Democratic primary of Bates County, August 1914: Recorder = - HAYDEN RAY Of Mt, Pleasant Townsbip GOVERNOR INDORSES SHACKLEFORD BILL Missouri Congressman Opposing Meas- ure Would Not Be Re-elected, Executive Predicts, Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 20.— Missouri Congressman who failed to support the Shackleford bill appropri- construction of State highways would find it exceedingly difficult to .be re- elcted. The Governor said that he ‘believed it would be impossible for any Missouri member of the House to go back-to Congress if he did not give the road measure his earnest. support. “In Missouri we do not need a sci- entific investigation to tell us that something is wrong when we are stuck in the mud on our highways,” said Mr. Major. ‘‘Common sense is a sufficient guide. Nearly one-half the income of the Federal Govern- ment is expended on the War and Navy departments, although we have no war on our hands. For years we have had scientific investigations rela- tive to the.deepening of the channel of the Mississippi River. They have not amounted to anything. ‘T heartily approve of the the re- vision of the tariff and the enactment of the currency law, but to the people of the rural districts of Missouri and other States they are really of secoiid- | ; ary consideration to the question of getting better highways. “The Government does not Sil one cent to maintain the highways over which its mail iscarried. It has spent millions to aid in the construc- | tion of railroads and now is paying for the transportation of the mails over them. The Governor estimates 50,000 of 110,000 miles of public highways in Missouri are being used by the Gov-/ ernment for rural route delivery and ore than 5,500 miles for the delivery of star route mail- “The amount asked for road better-| ment for the entire country,”’ said the | Governor, ‘‘is just about the cost of two first-class battleships. “The rural districts of the country have asked for a comparatively small sum of money to aid them in one of the greatest movements: they have ever undertaken,’’ said Mr. Major. “In Missouri the people are doing all they can to help themselves. They have done very well, indeed, and de- serve the aid they are asking that the Government extend to them. “T was asked to sign a recommen- ernment board of experts to investi- gate the good roads movement. I refused to sign because we do not need experts to tell us that we have bad roads and need good ones.

The chief points which the Presi- dent singled out as a basis for legisla- tion were: 1. Effectual prohibition of the in- bodies. 2. A Jaw to confer upon the Inter- state’ Comiférce Commission the power to superintend and regulate the financial operations by which railroads are henceforth to be sup- plied with the money the need for their proper development and im- proved transportation facilities. The President made it clear that the pros- perity of the railroads and the pros- perity of the country are “inseparably connected”’ in this regard. 3. Definition of the ‘‘many hurtful restraints of trade’’ by explicit legis- lation supplementary to the Sherman law. 4, The creation of a commission to aid the courts and to act as a clear- ing house of information in helping es to conform with the law. 5. Provision of penalties and pun- i‘ishments to fall up individuals re- sponsible for unlawful practices. 6.
