BONDS NOT NEEDED.

Editor News:
Through the columns of your pa
per would like to say few words
to the voters of Marion County, for
in short time they will be called up
on to elect magistrates to represent
them in the county court of this
county, and it seems to me that a
word of warning will not be out OF
order.
The matter which | think should
be of greater interest to our people
should be the disposal of the road
bond bill which was recently passed
by the Legislature. In my opinion
it will be a sad day for Marion Coun-
ty when it becomes bonded and we
should, therefore, elect men to rep
resent us who are positively against
a bond issue, and who will not be
changed at the behest Of few men
and against the will of a great ma
jority of the people of this county.
Will bond issue be success fin
ancially? l think not. We will pay
out $1O2,5OO interest, or $4,000
more interest than principal. In
other words we will have to pay
$202,5O0 to get the benefit of $780,
/ 600 on our roads. But the object
ion is raised that we get the benefit
of the bonds before we pay any in
terest, but such is not the case, for in
five years from date of issue we will
have paid $4,000 interest, Or one
fourth of the original sum borrowed.
These figures may seem dull to the
bond holder or the fanciful man who
deals with thousands of dollars with
his tongue but to us farmers, who
know rot the pleasures of having
money "draw interest" are astound-
imp. We, IN the prime of life, do
not like to contract a loan which will
have to be paid when our trembling
steps are leading us to the grave.
Iwould not have you understand
me as being opposed to good roads,
but on the contrary, am heartily
in favor of them, and | think we can
build them without bonds, and if we
do a mile of road that will cost $2,-
600 with bonds that can be built
with $1,000 without, is that good
finance? If we levy tax rate of
80 cents, which the bond issue will
require, we should have at the end
of the first year $4,000 with which to
build roads and at the end of five
years $4,000 can be expended ju-
diciously on the roads. No bonded
debt will overhang us like pail, and
the people will be happy and content
ed.
It's contended by many that this
scheme is impracticable, and that the
money will be paid out in salaries
What assurance have we that the
money derived from the sale of bonds
will not meet the same unhappy fatei
The present road levy is five cents
and no sane man can expect to build
pixies with that, but with a levy o.
thirty cents l contend that we car
have good roads and no bonds.
Let the people rise in their might
assert their freedom and refuse to b,
bondsmen the remainder of thei
lives. Put anti-bond men on thei
guard at the coming election.

The greatest amateur or semi-profes-

occur at Lexington park, Sunday, Aug.
II, when Waseca and Litcnhed Will
cross bats in a struggle for the cham-
pionshtp Of the Northwest. These two
teams are recognized as the strOnge ST
semi-professioRal organizations in this
section Of the country, and a game be-
tween them should be full CT interesting
features The Waseca team, with the
coIored giant, George wilson, in the
box, has been, inv-ncjble since the big
pitcher joined the club. Wilson Is a
pitching wonder and is considered by
many experts TO be the equal Of Rus'e.
WaddeH or Matthewson.
There has been great deal of curiosity
in ST. Paul to see Wilson work against
the league club, but it has seemed i'm
possible TO arrange a game between st.
Paul and Waseca. He will have to work
hard to win his game from Lttchheld,
the hard hitting and fast fielding team
that shut out the st. Paul league club
and scored four runs on Ryans crack
pitchers, Chech and Cogan. Litchfield
has a brilliant record this season, and
Captain Egan feels confident Of winning
out from Waseca, even with the redOubt-
able Wilson In the box. Ltchfeld has
played twenty-four games up to date,
winning twenty-one and losing three.
Willmar has beaten them twice; Coop
erstown, N D., has won one and lost one
game to Litchfeld, honors being even up
to date.
