IT IS TOO LATE, GOVERNOR
Governor Withycomlie came out
in a newspaper article last week, ad
vising the state road commission to
cease road paving until after the
war is over, assigning as the reason
the high cost of material and labor,
ami that the work would be needed
for the soldier boys when they re
turn.
Certainly, the governor’s
conclusions are right, but his advice
is nearly two years late, The milk
has already been spilled and it can
not be recovered.
Governor Withycombe had the
opportunity to have pul a quietus
upon the issue of road bonds when
the measure was placed in his hands
for his signature. He was then in a
position to dictate terms to the road
paving crowd. He did require that
the measure should be submitted to
the people fzr their endorsement.
But he should have gone a step
further and required a clause in '
