| Newton, March 13.-The sixth an
nual banquet of the Newton Business
Mems Association was held at the
Churchill last evening, about two hum
dred members attending. In j. +.
| Newells annual address as president
of the association he reviewed the
work of the past year and touched
upon many subjects of interest to the
cities of Iowa and especially to New
ton. After discussing the interurban
| line, or electric road running from
Des Moines to Newton, and the new
water system, a public park and other
local matters, he said:
THE business of the whole country
the year on account of the miserable
condition of our country roads, and
while this question can not be solved
in day or year, yet l am firmly of the
opinion that a partial solution will
be found in the bill now before our
state legislature to make road taxes
payable in cash, instead of the method
at present in vogue, of allowing every
man to work out his tax in such way
and at such time as best suits his con-
venience. I believe that the sooner
the county boards of the state can do
away the old system and require all
road taxes to be paid in cash. the
sooner will we all feel the effects of
good roads"
The last speaker was Gov. A. b.
Cummns, who. in a very pleasant and
pleasing manner, gave short address
of impromptu remarks. He congratu-
lated our people upon the rapid i'm
provement in population, manufacture
and all that goes to make a good and
growing town and wished that more of
the cities and towns of the state would
form such organizations for the ma
terial advancement of the respective
places and the good derived of getting
together and endeavoring to see the
bright side of life and enjoy for the
hour the good things that association
and good fellowship bring. He showed

Mr.. Cummins, continuing, Ito investi-
