Th service, carried on for the convenience of the state's highway users, is ooth a ni 'v't'l task for highway maintenance crews anil a costly oper-ati for the Commission, wint. srvw and ice control totaled $802,325.

L'-t vear th' state spent 51 078 27 in Warren county vmoving snow and contr 'liny: t'e. More than 050 vehicles have equij ped for snow and id eontrol iisv in the Commission'? ten Joseph, Macon. Hannibal, Kansas City, Jeffcr-n City, Kirkwo-nl, Joplin. Willow Springs and Sikeston. Crews have leen designated to man each vehicle.

Cinders and substitute materials have been stockpiled at strategic points, ready for emergencies. Sn and ice control on the highways was initiated by the Commission several years ago as a convenience for motorists. As traffic increased and highway transmutation liocame mors and more essential to the state economy, the practice liecame more and more imperative. Today it is regarded bv the public mire as csstntial than just as a convenience. Ilecause of that fact, snow and ice control crews now begin work immediately, day or night, when snow reaches one-half to one inch in depth and is still falling.

Each crew is assigned a specific route of roads to br cleared, with first attention given major system routes, then supplementary roads. As a special safety precaution, lwth to protect the highway maintenance employe and the motor vehicle ojerator, all highway equipmer.L used in snow and ice control work is equipped with a blue Hasher licht. Vehicle oerators on the highways during periods of severe weather are urg to re-sjM'ct that blue warning signal and use extreme caution when following or mteting it. "A favorable vote NovemlT 1 on proposed amendments No. 1 and No.

2 to the Missouri constitution is vital to the state' progress," J. R. Wilkins, president of the Missouri State ChamU of Commerce, said in a statement this week. Amendment N. 1 would shorten legislative sessions to five months and No.

2 would in crease the Imnding capacity of school districts from the present 5 per cent -f assessed valuation to 10 per cent. The Chamlx ha endorsed ltoth proposals. "Shortening the legislative session would maintain a higher level of public interest in what is going on in the state legislature." the 'handier president said, "and encourage many jht-sons to nfn for the legislature who now are discouraged from doing so U'cause of the time it takes them away from their businesses. It also would jermit chambers of commerce and other local groups to sustain the interest and activity of their committees in legislative matters during the shorter period. "Amendment No.

2. which ha wide support of organizations in the state, would nable Missouri school districts to take a needed step forward in education. Communities could meet the increasing need for buildings and still maintain local control of education as against federal aid and control. "The need for Udter school buildings for Missouri's youth is U'coming more acute every year. The birth rate has been high for a numtier of years and tihis steady increase in the numlior of children is straining the capacity of school accommodations more and more.

"Records show there were D2.530 births in 11)51 as compared with 55.016 in 11)36. Hetwcen 11)10 and 11)51, births were above the 11)36 level. Competent estimates are that public school enrollment in 11)58 will be 173.000 more than in 1918, requiring 6.115 more classroom and other facilities in the state. "Missouri needs both these proposed amendments for the state's proper advancement. The State Chamber believes all persons interested in good state government and adequate schools should give both these proposals their votes and support."

All counties of tho State got raises on the real estate except three. Some received higher raises than others. The aver-ige raise was 8 per cent. A member of the Commission stated that after a comprehensive study, it was found that town property all over the state was assessed lower proportionately than rural property. This, h.

stated, began in 11)21 when 'ho rural real estate was revalued and the town property was left as it had boon. This they gave as the reason fur the raise on town property. Assessor Wehmeyer believes t.his tax problem is one in which everyone has a part, and they should study these figures carefully so they will have a letter understanding of the entire tax structure. The Rate of taxation and not the Assessments determine the amount of the The a-mount of taxes on property vary-in different towns and different school districts. Town and school boards should be careful to point out the tax-rates for the different purposes and tho total taxes asked for at regular fir special elections, as this eliminates confusion and creates bettor understanding and hence develops better cooperation.

The people, thru their votes, set the rates of taxation. Plans For School Musical Plans are under way for a musical concert to be given by the Area R-l schools about No-vemeer 15.

Hold on, Boys- I'M GOING To A Hands on Waterfowl or Wildlife Study Waterfowl hunters can ier-form a good deed for wildlife management this fall if they turn in to the Fish and Wildlife Service any bands found on ducks geese shot. Accompa-ning the iand should be information on the time anil place of kill. Cooperators are requested to flatten the band and place it in an envelope, but should also rev curd the band number in the accompanying letter since bands sometimes tear out of the onve-loe and are lost. Many thousands of waterfowl are banded in North America each vear and returns provide valuable information on the life histories of these birds. In Missouri, the Conservation Commission cooperates in this pro-pram, bandinjr birds that stop over at Fountain Grove and other points on migration routes.
