HIGHWAY COMMISSION NAMED BY RALSTON

Tom Taggart, A C. Harris, W. H. O’Brien, L. 0. Clore and R. L. Sackett Members. In an effort to secure better roads for Indiana Governor Ralston has appointed a committee to make ft complete investigation of the needs of the state and to advise the best means to proceed. The commission is composed of Tom Taggart, Addison C. Harris, W. H. O’Brien, Leonard C. Clore and R. L. Saekrtt, The following advisers were also named: Lewis Tayler, Newburg, First district. E. R- Cumaniifigs, Bloomington, Second. Albert P. Fenn, Tell City, Third. I. Newt Brown, Franklin, Fourth. William F. Franklin, Danville, Filth. Maurice Douglas, Flatrock, Sixth. C. A. Kenyon, Indianapolis, Seventh. John R. Retherford, Muncie. Eighth. D. F. Maish, Frankfort, Ninth. J. G. Short, Hillsboro, Ninth. Mike Duffey, Fowler, Tenth. Oliver Kline, Huntington, Eleventh. ' - —— l William Jones, Fairmount, Elev- ■ enth. • George V. Kell, Ft. Wayne, Twelfth. Aaron Jones, South Bend, Thirteenth. Mr. Clore is well known as an agricultural expert and is at present the agricultural agent of Laporte county. Mr. Sackett is instructor in civil engineering at Purdue and Is credited with practical knowledge of road construction. Mr. Harris, who is a republican, has been a student of road building for years. He has carried his study of road making into foreign lands. There seems excellent reason for the selection of these three men to the commission. Tom Taggart and W. H. O’Brien have as a reason (for their appointment the fact that they are prominent leaders in the democratic party. The governor has recommended Luke W. Duffy as secretary of the oammisston. There seems to be 'no law for the creation of a commission of this kind, although great good may eome from it The expense; however, will be considerable and The Republican believes it is a very unwise action at this time, when taxes are already extremely high. Independent societies are pushing the good roads movement and will probably .make recoxmwendattons to the next legislature almost as valuable as the commission which the governor has created and which will probably cost the state from $25,000 to $50,000. >
