And there could be no better time than
now to make move looking towards
acquiring it. In order to build it
bonds must be issued or heavy levy
made and the money accumulated.
No matter how the money is raised,
it should be raised now. A lot of idle
capital should be taxed into circula-
ton, giving employment to labor.
The park bond proposition should
b.. pushed. Ninety cents out of every
dollar voted for park purposes will be
expended for labor
Working men who have children to
educate and must educate them in the
public schools should insist upon a
high school worthy OF the name. They
should also insist that the city which
they are making rich and prosperous
provide them with parks i'll which they
and their children may find rest and
recreation
The high school matter is not yet
fully mapped out. But the park porp-
ositicn can be pushed now. The mode
Of procedure is simple. Just sign the
petition that is being circulated, and
then ask your neighbors to sign The
petition will be filed with the city
clerk and the city council will sub
nit the proposition under the referen-
dun law. Then the bonds will be
voted and issued
