One Of our county officials went

1t Is evident to every business
man and property owner that for the
past years, Laporte has been on the
stand still so far as tho erection OF
industries are concerned, Previous
TO the completion of our railroad, it
was repeatedly said that with the
railroad we will erect manufacturing
enterprises and onr town will boom.
Instead of making our words good
we have quietly folded our arms and
seemingly are waiting to see our
town go down.
It is apparent that one fact must
stare every business man and proper
ty owner in the face, that unless
something is done, and that speedily,
Laporte other than the county seat
business, will dry up and those of
us who seek day labor for employ
ment will have to go elsewhere.
Some one suggests that it takes
money to build manufactures. The
REPUBLICAN believes that the money
can be raised if an effort is made.
Why wouldn't this be good plan
for raising the money:
Organize business mems club
or commercial league and have it
chartered for the purpose of aiding
manufactures instead of organizing
for any specific mandatory. Or
ganize with a $4,000 capital stock
to be paid in weekly installments of
soc on each 500 share, Of stock.
This would produce an income Of
$3.50 week. AS soon as this sum
reaches 800 let the club advertise
that they have $1,000 to take stock
in furniture factory with any pracs
tical man or company in that line,
who will put in an equal amount Of
cash in such factory in Laporte.
We need not give it as bonus, but
let it be business transaction, take
stock in the namc of the club and
for the benefit of the club to share
in the dividens of the company. AS
soon as tue fund again reaches $2,-
500 let the organization advertise TO
take that amount of stock in silk
factory and so on in that way until
the entire $4,000 was paid in. In
four years we would have 100000
invested in manufacturing and the
town dotted all over with paying
small factories, to say nothing Of the
factories being induced to come here
on account of other factories being
here. The plan is feasible one and
can be put on foot if some one will
take the lead. What do the business
men of Laporte say to making an
effort.
