EX-SENATOR CRAWFORD
OPPOSES ROADS BILL
Brands Proposed Legislation as
Sch0ne to Tax Farmers For
Others Benefit.

Milan. March 23.-Editor Argus:
There has been a great deal of inter
est in hard roads lately. AS farmers
we don't want to be taxed out of the
country by manufacturers and men
who pay any taxes. Take for instance
this prairie country with no material
within 100 miles: How are you go
ing to make hard roads?
If you have the material handy and
make a track you must make it deep
enough so it will not freeze and heave.
If you don't il will cost enormous sums
to keep it up. We as farmers don't
want any hard roads law and what
is more, we are supposed to be free
people and we don't want anyone else
to attend to our business. The hard
roads question we propose to settle
ourselves.
The farmers of my township in con
vention passed resolutions unanimous
iy that they did not want hard roads
law to tax them off the earth and to
give manufacturers and wheel end au-
tomobile owners chance to share the
improvements without any expense to
them.
Now l see they have also had an
other dream down at Springfield and
some one is trying TO rule or ruin the
farmers institute of the state. They
want the governor to appoint a super
intendent. or president. or boss. to run
it. We farmers don't want any poliii-
cal handicap over our institute and we
hope all meddlers will attend TO their
own knitting.
Some people may think farming is
like being in paradise. 1t would be
good thing for such to try it. When
the farmers want legislation the boss
es think il is time for them TO step
in. / say the farmers should send in
a protest TO Springfield that the hard
roads bill and the institute would die
so dead they would never come to
light again.
To think that a director from each
congressional district could not choose
a president TO look after the interests
of the farmers for one year is fool
ish. WILLIAM F. CRAWFORD.

Invention for Musicians.

d. \. Gamble has flied a long-felt
want for musicians and others who
have occasion to use an adjustable
rack for music. books and the like. 1t
is a lock-screw for tripods and it
makes it possible for one to set his
rack al any desired height and feel
safe that it will remain at the point
where it is set. The device is pro-
nounced by Charles Ogden, the we'll
known musician. and others 10 be the
best that has yet been put out. The
lOck-screw works on thread and a
ferrule, the latter an adjustable ring
or cap so tapered that when it is fitted
over the screw, a mere twist sets the
screw tightly and there is no chance
for it to become loOsened or TO permit
the tripod to slip. Mr.. Gamble has ar
ranged the tripod in joints which tel
escope into one another. each of which
is held fast by one of his lock-screws.
With these screws one tripod bore a
weight of so pounds without weaken

ingham road and Howell street, but
they were let go upon settling for the
damage done. Tuesday evening the
lads were placed under arrest on the
charge of stealing a sack of corn from
a whcelbarrow, which was the property
