MEETING HELD LAST NIGHT
Citizens Confer at CONNER
cial Club with Promoter
L. VI. Olds Explaining ProJcct---
Money Already Sub cribcd VIII be
Credited on Bonds-- Towns and
Country Subscribe Their Share.


At meeting of citizens called by
Col q. Il. Christian at the CONNER
cial club last evening, +. NJ. OH pre-
sented proposition which he said
will, IL accepted, result in the inn
mediate completion of the electric
railroad from Marion to Upper San
dusky. Tile eastern parties who were
to complete the road when the grad
ing was finished last fall were unable
to take 1t up, owing to the prevail
ing financial conditions at the time.
During the past month, a new con-
tract has been made with Detroit and
Toledo people who are holders of
bonds OF perhaps a dozen interurbans
around Detroit and Toledo. They,
with their engineer and contractor
have been over the line and are so
confident that 1t will be a paying road
that the have contracted to build IL
Immediately, provided a small part of
the bonds of the road are sub
scribed along the line.
The railroad company will issue
first mortgage bonds Mt the rate OF
$4,000 per mile, n lower amount than
any interurban in Ohio has Issued,
making total issue OF about S400,-
600. The financial parties make 1t n
condition that $4,000 of this issue be
subscribed locally, that is in the
towns, country and city of Marion.
Not dollar of this amount Is to be
paid until cars are operating on Il
regular schedule between Marion and
Upper SanduslSy. One half of the
$4,000 has already been taken by
the country and Upper sandusky, that
town having subscribed for $4,000.
Marion is asked to make the same
kind of subscription to $4,000 Of
the bonds paying when cars are op-
Grating from Marion to Upper SAN
dusky.
The proposition was thoroughly
discussed by the meeting and 1t was
suggested that the payments hereto
fore made to apply toward the grad
ing of this road, be applied toward
the purchase, price OF a bond; that Is,
Il one subscribed and made a pay
ment last fall. the amount paid will
be credited on n subscription to one
of these bends This was agreed TO
by the company.
The project met the universal ap-
proval OF all present and 1t was agreed
to urge all citizens TO give 1t their
financial aid and moral support anu
to help the companys representative
to present 1t TO Marion people dur
ing the next week.
Quick action Is needed, tba n
pany says, as they must get the con-
crete bridge abutments In and some
of the grading repaired before the
weather gets bad. After these
things are done, the rest of the con-
struction will go on as rapidly as in
summer weather.

THE SALARY LAW

There is strong probability that at
The coming session of the general as
rembly Of oE.o, some changes will
be made ia the provisions OF the sal
sary law effc-;Gng the holders of coun-
Sy Offices. These changes will be
among the first things to be consider
cd by tie legislators because the new
law becomes effective January lst.
and If alterations are TO be made
they should be preventations rather
than curative.
= We haze always been favorable TO
salaries for county offices. Under the
lee system which was in vogue for
~ many years, too great an op-
porturty for drawing illegal fees was
presented. Not in all instances were
iiiegal iess taken wilfully either. Diff
rerent interpretations of the laws led
TO wide difference in the system of
fleeing. The present board of account
sng has branded many an official as a
CRATER, and in truth the indications
were that he had wufully oyerdrawn
fees, when the whole trouble laid in
tho different interpretations of the
provisions OF the law. In some of the
large counties the remuneration OF
officials under the fee system was
greatly OFT OF proportion OF the i'm
portance OF the Office and the labor
required \ salary law should have
been adopted long before the general
Assembly recognized the need and
mustered up the courage TO break
away from the political organiza-
tipns which exercised their influence
td perpetuate the fee grabbing system.
lThe salary law which was finally
enacted cannot be considered a perfect
piece OF legislation. There are de.
tccts whlch should be remedied. In
correcting the evils OF the fee system
and protesting the people against the
operations OF that unjust manner of
paying officials for public service, the
legislators should not overlook justice
TO the officials as well.
Under the provisions OF the salary
law as It now stands. after the first
OF the coming year, each county Of
ftclal will receive a stipulated salary,
provided the fees collected in his Of
fice amount to the figure fixed as his
salary. All fees over and above that
amount mist be turned into the coun-
fy treasury and ii the fees do not
total the amount OF the salary. the
official shall receive as salary only the
amount of the fees of his office. 1t Is
also provided that surplus In fees
one year cannot be applied should
shere be deficit the following year.
The books are to<be closed each year
and new start made on January LIST.
Manlfestly, this provision Will work

MUST REVISE ITS POLICY

King Alfonso of Spain is now realiz-
ing the truth of the old saying, I'm
easy lies the head that wears a
crown. Spain, always country OF
dissensions, Is just now being rent
with wars abroad and threatening
revolution at home. The war In Mo-
roco Is most popular In Spain. Even
among the members of the kings
cabinet there is wide difference Of
opinion as to how the war should be
prosecuted, or whether 1t should be
prosecuted at all. In this varience OF
opinions, the people have shared and
the dissension has even reached the
ranks in the army. Soldiers are liter
ally driven to the war in Morocco
and little confidence can be placed in
those WHO are kept at home to keep
down the resolution which Is brewing
on every hand. mutterings of which
can be heard on every hand
King Alfonso's policy TO prosecute
the war .in Morocco, despite the
has made him an unpopu.
lar ruler. Sentiment is with soldiers
who are being driven to the Rih
country to be butchered by fanatic
al tribesmen who have no fear Of
death and are greater heroes dead
than alive. The disfavor of the king
in the eyes of his subjects has beer
increased by his refusing to dnterfer
with the execution of Professor Fer,
rer, a cultured gentleman who dared to
voice his sentiments at varience with
the policy of the monarch. There now
threatens an uprising in the peninsu-
lar kingdom which will overthrow the
old throne and establish new form
of government.
The chief trouble in Spain Is that
the government has not kept pace
with the advanced thinking of the
leading men of the kingdom. For Gen.
turtles Spain has been endeavoring to
pursue the same policy which was in
force when Spain was one of the
creates. world powers and the necks of
her people were under the iron heel
of monarchy. The people of Spain
have been doing some thinking. They
have determined tnat the time for
old policies and adopting
new ideas has arrived and unless the
government is ready to recognize this
continent and make the necessary
modificati )ns in its manner of gov
ernment, the kingdom will fall, just
as soon rs the public sentiment grows
sufficiently. The time may be at hand
or conditions may not rfpen for
months or even years, but it is COM
ing, unless the throne adjusts its sell

ditions.

FLAG FALLS AT 900 O'CLOCK

o'clock this evening to register for
, the coming municipal election. This
| is absolutely the last chance and
after that hour there will be no need
in you going around with a wry face
and trying on election day to bluff
the election officials into letting you
vote without being registered. After
today the registration officials may
receive transfers from those voters
who have moved from one precinct
into another, after today, and register
those voters who were out OF the city
on the two regular registration days
and have orders from the board Of
elections.
If you are not registered you cannot
vote and il you neglect this duty,
you have no right TO object If the out
come of the election is not to your
liking.
For the last time, take a look over
the requirements and see whether you
have met them, then If you have nc:
remember the flag will fall at nine
o'clock
With the man who registered for
the fall election last fall and has
not moved from the precinct in which
he registered at that time, nothing is
necessary. The registration of last
year sufices for this election.
The man who has moved from the
fall must go 70 the precinct voting
place in which he registered. secure
a removal certificate and deposit it
with the registration officials in the
precinct into which he has moved.
This is imperative. No man can be
registered in his present precinct with
out the removal certificate. This re-
quirement Is TO prevent his name ap-
pearing on she registration books of
two precincts.
All new voters and all others who
did not register last fall, must regis
ter before being allowed 10 vote in
the coming election.
All precinct voting places will be
open Friday and Saturday Of this
week, from eight o'clock in the morn
ing until two o'clock in the after
noon and from four o'clock in the af-
ternoon until nine o'clock in the
evening for registration. These are
the only days this fall for registra-
ton and unless the duty Is attended
10 on one OF these days. no voter will
be allowed TO cast his ballot on cleo
ton day.
The registration laws also provide
that in a case where voter has NOV
ed from one precinct TO another af-
ter the regular days tor registration,
he may secure transfer from the
precinct in which he is registered and
present 1t at his new voting place
on the afternoon OF the day imme-
diately proceeding the day OF election.
All precinct voting places will be
open on Monday before election day
from $3.50 to $3.50 in the afternoon for
issuing and receiving such transfers.
but in. no case except as stated be-
low ran a man be registered at this
time. without a transfer.
All voters who were out OF the
city on regular registration days
are required TO go 10 the board OF
elections and secure an order for
registration and present this order at
the precinct voting place on Monday
before election day between the hours
mentioned.
This is in brief the provision of the
registration laws and there is no ex-
cuse for a voter not qualifying for
the municipal election.
