THE INLAND TAx.-The proposition
to aid the construction of the Iowa
Southwestern Railway by three per
cent. tax in it's favor will be decided by
ballot in that community tomorrow.
Tie ticket proposed by the friends of
the measure reads as follows:
RAIL ROAD TICKET.
For Taxation.
To be levied in Sept. 1871. Payable
and collectable. when the cars run to
Center Township line.
No interest attaches on tax until due.
Road to run within one mile of Cen
ter School House.
Depot to be located within Township.
Road to be built within two years
FROM levy of the tax.
The road for which this tax is intend
ed will run across nearly the entire
width of the county, say twenty four
miles. OF this distance, at least six
miles will be in Inland township. $751;
600 are to be raised in the county. Cen
ter township has already raised, by con-
ditional tax, Is ID proposed in Inland,
$4,000. The desired three per cent. in
Inland will amount to about. SO, 900.
Surely, making conditions for their own
perfect safety in regard to time of pay
ment, interest, and location OF the road,
the citizens Of that township can afford
to offer that amount. If the conditions
are not fully complied with, they lose
nothing for having offered what they
can abundantly afford to give, in case
they are complied with. Their oppor-
tunity for making conditions with re-
gard to route and depots may not last
always, and, in any event, it is a good
plan to strike while the iron Is hot, 1t
is not with any spirit OF dictation that
these things are spoken of by outsiders.
We, in Center township, having already
made our own conditional bid for the
road, may surely urge upon the citizens
of Inland to go and do likewise without
being considered as extensively meddle-
some or authoritative. The money must
be raised II we have the road. A tax
of the required size looks like heavy
burden, and stands always like scare
crow in the foreground. But contrast
it with the returns, which will have

Judge Rothrock addressed the meet

advantages the road would bring and
the loss its failure would be to town and
country.
H. G. Piatt. Esq, followed Judge
Rothrock with speech made In his

to the past experience Of this communi.

causes of previous failure did not exist
in the present project, but that it might

The time of the meeting was next &C.
cupied by J. w. Bull, whose remarks
were in very happy vein. He alluded
to the facilities we at present enjoy of

spoke of the immediate effect of fail

At the conclusion of Mr.. Bulls re-
marks, the chairman, Mr.. Joshua May
nard, commenced most spirited and
pertinent little speech by saying that it
had been intimated that he being al
old man would stay where he was, rail-
road or no railroad. This, he waited I'M
derstood, was a mistake, he would stay
in no such sleepy hollow as this would
have proved to be, should it allow the
road to fail.
AS it was unanimously agreed that it
was action aud not argument which was
wanted now, large committee was ap-
pointed Of good and willing workers
who are to look to all the points from
which aid should come, among which
may at least be enumerated, Inland
township, the south part OF Red Oak Z,
and the north part Of Cover.
The unanimity of good feeling and
earnest purpose in the meeting was re.
marked by every one, and its adjourn
ment closed the best railroad meeting
ever held in Upton.
