AN IMPORTANT AMENDMENT

One of the most important questions
that the voters of this state will have
to consider this fall is an amendment to
the state constitution. This amend
ment is very brief one which gives
the state power to spend state money
in building roads.
Wisconsin is about the last progress
sive state in the Union to consider this
plan of State Aid. All the states about
us are working under this system ano
are building many, miles of improved
roads.
Many persons who are unfamiliar
with the plan seem to fear that this is
scheme to compel farmers to builo
good roads whether they want to or not,
but it is no such thing. 1t is plan I'M
der which any town can get aid from
the state after it has, of it's own free
will, voted to improve it's roads. I'm
der this plan the farmers pay part on
the cost and everyone who pays state
taxes farmers, city people and rail
roads-help to pay the rest. Most OF
the state revenues are from corpora
tons that pay no local taxes, which,
although they are benefited by the pros
perity that good roads brings, cannot ii
any other way be called on to pay g
part of the cost.
Dean Russell of the Agricultural Col
lege of the State University makes the
following statement regarding this
amendment:
''There is probably no tax laid upor
the farmers of our state which is heavier
than that imposed by poor roads, ane
inasmuch as it is within their power tt
relieve themselves from discrimination
it would seem that all, and especially
the agricultural classes, would recog
nize the advantages in passing con
stitutional amendment which will per
nit of state aid for the good roads
movement in Wisconsin. From State

one of his neighbors said to me that he

good of him. From my acquaintance
with Mr.. Ling and the reputation which
he bears, I consider him well qualified
to fill the office Of assemblyman and

He is a republican, and stands and

Bargains in Used Steinway Pianos

very good piano at moderate cost, he
will be interested in the fact that just
at the present time the we'll known
music house of Lyon & Healy, Chicago,
have large salesroom entirely filled
with used Steinway Uprights. These
Steinways embrace wide variety of
styles. All of them of course, are gen
uine Steinways, and all of them are in
fine condition, but there is great differ
ence in the cost.
Besides these instruments Lyon 4
Healy are also now offering at great
Tribe Clearing Sale, all the pianos
formerly owned by the Thompson Mu-
sic Co., the Healy Music Co., and the
big Thearle Piano Co. You can have

These pianos will be sold either for
cash or upon easy monthly payments.

Hot Springs. Va, Dec. 2. - The

learned from a reliable source that the

only TO make the revision OF the tarin
thorough and honest, in accordance
with the Taft pledges on the stump,
but to put through the rest OF the

IN his speech OF acceptance and on the

however. be reflected in changes In
