Twenty-ninth legislature was errone-

provisions which are in direct conflict

Editor Statesman:
The Americans on the isthmus have
had their drooping spirits buoyed up
recently by an article in the Washing-
of each county in state and district
convention should be pro rated among
the candidates In proportion to the
vote received by each candidate at
the primary election In the county.
The bill as it was enrolled contained
the above provision, but also, without
legislative assent, had another provi-
sion preceding the above, prviding
that candidates for state and district
offices receiving a majority vote at the
primary election in ny county should
receive the entire convention vote of
the county, and that the convention
vote of a county should be pro rated
among candidates for state and dis-
trict offices only in cases where no can-
didate received a majority of the votes
at the primary in the county.

Roads, ,
To Editor Statesman:
My last communication on this sub-
ject was written before I saw Mr. Cul-
len’s letter. We are agreed on every
point except as to the wisdom of hav-
ing the roadmaking left to the com-
misisoners as at present, I take the
position that if we are to have any
extended system of roadmaking, that
it should be done under the supervi-
sion of a competent road engineer and
by contract; while Mr. Cullen is will- |
ing to leave everything with the com-
missioners, to be carried out by con-
vict and hired labor.
It is not necessary at this time to
come to a final decision as to which
is the best plan, because even if the
taxpayers should vote their willingness
to pay 20 cents on the 8100 valuation I
of their property for road and bridge
purposes, instead of 8 cents as at
present, the fund thus raised would be
utterly inadequate for any extensive I
scheme of roadmaking on the "pay
as you go” plan. It would, however,
put the commissioners in a position I
to make and maintain many much I

up our alleged macadam roads, and

Editor Statesman:
Your agitation of the good roads
question is good and timely, but there
are a few things in this connection
you do not know. If you will go with
me a few minutes and think, you will
agree with me. There is a cause for
everything, and there is one for bad
roada. One of these is selfishness,
the effect of which is violation of law.
the office of overseer of a road in
order that he may further his own
ends, whether he is over age or not;
then works it as he pleases, knowing
that in the first place he has the law
on his side and the hands are afraid
of it in that they do not want to con-
tend with the courts. He ends up by
not working the road at all unless it
is to his own advantage, and the
hands are afraid to report him, be-
cause the courts are so corrupt and
damning in their proceedings that
they are not able to lose the time and
money with a trial, especially if the
overseer has money or can control
votes. If I am not mistaken, there
is on our statute books a law requir-
ing every man between the ages of
21 and 45 to work five days in a year
or pay >5, neither of which is rarely
ever done in this section. I have been

work should be done by contract and
let to the lowest bidder under a bond.
If this method were adopted, there
would be no need for road bosses and
convict guards in county pay, but all
convicts coula and should be used on
mand of the people Of Travis county before they vote the
tax that the work shall be done by contract. With this un-
derstanding The Statesman believes that the last obstacle
to a voting of the tax in question would be removed. If
such an agreement Is not entered Into the proposition will
doubtless be lost, as a great many country people say that
the present policy of working the county road. is proving
of absolutely no avail, and If the newly acquired money is
to be expended in a like manner that they will oppose it on
the grounds that little or no benefit will be derived from its
expenditure in spasmodic wads.
All these matters are worthy of consideration at the hands
of the meeting to be. held this afternoon, and a large attend-
ance should be on hand in order that there may be nothing

clusions au to the future.

I of them would not know a macedam-
lied road from a Dutch cheese. They
I were appointed for any reason except
I their fitness. If the commissioners
had a needy relative out of a Job and
unable to hold one If thrown at him,
he was considered eminently fit for
the position of road boss. Occasion-
ally an accident would happen, and a
good man would get In charge and If
not interfered with by his precinct
commissioner he would make a piece
of good road, but.bis successor would
adopt other methods and thus our
roads have been made on the crazy
quilt plan.
To obviate this obvious fault we
must have a thoroughly competent
road engineer In charge of all road
work, then we will have a right to
look for good and uniform work. We
have no right to expect our commis-
stoners to be road building experts.

that knows anything about the county
roads knows that there is a screw
loose somewhere, also that the above
attributes of the commissioners can
not build roads and take care of the
county’s interests in general, unless

All these suggestions qould be car-
