PROGRESSIVE MIAMI
Miami took a stop forward when tlio voters approved
the $420 000 issue of improvement bonds Tuesday It was
derided that more sewers and better sanitation were needed
if the eilv expects to attract people here in the near future
and jrow There should he nothing to hold it bark now
The approval of the bond issue has won praise from oth
or near-by cities Here is what tlio Joplin Globe lias to say
about the voting of ttie bonds:
“Announcement that Miami voters decided Tuesday to
spend 420000 for improvements in tlieir town including a
goodly portion of this sum for sewer extensions should he a
striking argument in answer to any objectors there may be
to the proposed 2"0000 bond issue for sewer extensions
“The fact that Miami citizens are alive to the necessity
of having their town well sewered surely ought to pul shame
to any local citizens who object to an adequate sewer pro-
gram for Joplin If we cannot keep nn with the community
building spirit of the Miami people we may as well resign all
our ambitions and expectations of remaining the metropolis
of the district for all time to come A business man who is
afraid of spending money for improvements or too short
sighter to do so is not going to maintain a leadership that
may have been hits in the first place by special gift of Prov-
idence in the way of natural ability And it is the same way
with cities They have to spend some money if they are go-
ing to continue to make money — if they are to continue to
grow and lie prosperous and popular
“If you hear any one arguing against the sewer bonds
don’t get mad and say insulting things That isn't any way
to influence people Rut do ask him if he doesn't think we
ought to lie as ambitious and as energetic as Miami If he
is a citizen worth having he will think that and if lie thinks
that he ought to he for the bonds”
“CONCURRENT POWER”
We know what the leaders of the “dfys” and of the
“wets” believe to lie the' meaning of “concurrent power” as
employed in the' eighteenth amendment — the one interpret-
ing it as permission to the Senate to make the amendment
more lmt not less binding the other interpreting it aq per-
mission to the States' to 'modify the terms of the amendment
within their borders What we do not know is the Govern-
ment's interpretation for its officers differ in their explana-
tions For example Judge Rellstab of the United States
District Court at Trenton N J says: “The use of the word
‘concurrent’ gave the States no power to engage in a legisla-
t ive conflict with Congress The Stales possess power grant-
ed ljy this amendment as they possess all other concurrent
j lowers dominant wiie ntliey alone exercise it subordinate
when it is exercised by Congress”
' On the other band Solicitor General King in defending
the amendment against the suit of complainants before the
Supreme Court of the United States made the States primary
rather than secondary in the matter when he said: “The
amendment does not interfere with the functions of the
States hut gives the Federal government power to net with
the States in enforcing prohibition and results from a gen-
eral demand upon Congress to assist dry States in enforcing
prohibition”
1 Obviously the sooner the Supreme Court precisely de-
fines the “concurrent power” of the States and settles the
matter beyond question the better will he the prospects of
peace in this connection
THE PROFIT OF GOOD ROADS
When you collect up city and country with hard roads
von turn a disorganized and nnsvsteniatized collection of
people into a community co-operating for common ends
Quick communication ail densy transportation are the
greatest community developers If it costs more to trans-
port food products over the road than it does to raise
them you can't get economic progress' People can not af-
ford to live in towns under such conditions because it will
cost so much to get food to them That would make it im-
possible to develop factory production This country never
began to go ahead until it got railroad transportation It
can't complete its development until all the rural sections
are closely linked up with the towns
Road building enables the most isolated family to be-
come an integral part of the community Formerly it was
out of touch with community movements and it could not
co-operate if it wanted to
Von build a road to the isolated home and at once it
links up with the towns The two elements exchange pro-
1 ducts inexpensively and each gains
Tlie rural people join civic movements and introduce
modern ideas into every department of life And the city
‘and town people get a reinforcement of civic assistance and
find that their resources are doubled Like nn army ut
the front their striking power is increased when they get
into rloser touch with their base of supplies
The rommnnity in which all forces are connected up with
n good highway system will always beat out the one that is
not so co-ordinated It is like a factory operating by steam
or electric power with every machine working in harmony
comparison with another in which all the units are operating
on a go ns you dense plan by hand power — Muskogee Tinies-Denioerat
