Exploiting of Farmcrs.

Whereas. We. the farmers of Sanga-
mon, Logan, Macon and Christian coun-
ties have learned that a bill is now
pending in our state legislature for
the purpose of compelling, or inducing
the farmers of central Illinois to build
hard roads; and whereas this agitation
has been kept up through government
reports, hard road associations, wheel
mems organizations, etc, for a series of
years; and whereas we believe these
organizations have no interest in the
farmer except 10 exploit him, the
wheelmen have bequeathed their in
1uence and interest To the automobile
manufacturer and user; the merchants
in the cities who believe hard roads
will increase their trade at the expense
of the smaller towns; the capitalist
who sees a gilt-edge investment in
bonds based on central Illinois farm
lands; the shady politicians. grafters
and heelers who follow in their wake;
all these and others not mentioned
want hard roads for the benefit of the
farmer at the farmers expense

Denounce Builders.


Therefore. be it Resolved: That we
hereby most emphaticaIy denounce
those would-be road builders at the ex-
pense of the farmers of central Illinois.
We are told the county and state will
help. Who is the state? and who is the
county? Who pay the taxes and who
are the tax dodgers? We are especial
~ opposed to state intervention in To-
cal matters, as past experience has
proven that it means the least benefi-
cial results from largest expenditures
1t means the supplanting of local con-
troll of local affairs, the very foundation
on which our governmental structure
rests. And so far as our experiences in
county expenditures enable us TO Judge.
we do not feel as though we would get
maximum results from minimum ex-
pCnditures. We believe the tax pay
ers of the county will bear us out in
the fact that such has not been their
experience in the past And as the
of steam and electric railroads
is rapidly increasing and the average
distance from those roads is not more
than three and one-half to four miles.
the farmers of central Illinois fail TO
see any pressing need for Appian
highways. Heretofore the farmers
thought that hard roads was simply a
fad taken up by people of leisure.
s..e See the Animus.
But now the farmers see the animus
behind the movement. They see the
Cloven foot prOtruding, and they are de-
termined TO use every honest and legal
method at their command, individually
and collectively, 10 defeat these propa-
gandists if they have to vote as unit
10 do il. We have at various times tier
ated and reiterated the fact that we are
willing 10 allow any city. town or viii
lage, or township in the state to build
their streets. construct their highways,
and keep them in repair with what
ever material they find most convent
ent, satisfactory and least expensive
Therefore, we naturally ask. why not
others grant us the same privilege?
In accordance with these views. we.
the people of the above named coun-
ties, through our delegates named, re-
specially request our governor and
representatives in the present legisla-
ture TO leave their roads in the hands
of the communities who use them and
are most interested in their condition"

LAW MEETS WITH OPPOSITION
Farmers in Mass Meeting at IIIiopoIis
Enter a Strong Pro-
test.

The subcommittee of the legislative
committee on hard roads did not reach
Rock Island this week, as it was prom
ised that it would. Chairman L. NJ.
Magill wrote stating that he expected
to have his committee here during the
meeting of the board of supervisors,
and suggested that there be held a
mass meeting of the farmers of the
county TO obtain their views on the
measure pending before the assembly,
by which townships can have half the
cost of the building of the roads borne
by the state. The committee probably
will be here later.
1t appears that the farmers of the
state are unanimously in favor of the
building of hard roads under the plan
given in the new law. a mass meeting
was held this week at Illiopolis, at
which the following resolution was
adOpted:
