Don't be deceived. Any special ia
or bond issue would have to come be-
fore the peop'e to be voted on and
would not become legal until a M

of such an issue.

the park being placed there. To
these people we only wish to say that
they willfully misrepresent. We have
not added one dollar to our prices on
account of anything other than the
merits of our proposition We did
not expect to gain dollar, but on
the other hand, we figured a direct
donation of 81 800 to the town. and
still figure it so. We can sell this
park ,ot for 81 500 and will do so if
the city does not want it. Our motive
in offering the city this ground was

ABSURD CONVENTIONS OF
THE PEOPLES PARTY.

While the personnel of the Peo-
pies Party ticket is good and no one
can deny that the gentlemen whose
names appear on that ticket are of
The highest character. yet it seems
that some of the adherents of that
party are using very questionable and
nnderhand means of misinforming the
people and The Chronicle wishes to
correct any erroneous impression
which may have been spread around
~ either the misinformed or the un-
,%crupulous.
The chief contention which these
people are making is that the Citi-
lcns' ticket has been put up to force
he park on the people and along
with It bond issue that wi swamp
everybody with taxes.
At first thought the unsuspecting
one might believe this contemplate
rot. but We have only to call your
attention to the true situation to
show this up as campaign trick.
and not even a clever trick.
In the first place. the park is not
IA issue. The Trans Mississippi COM
pany have expressly requested that
he same shall not be made an issue.
and the members of the Citizens par
~ would certainly be nc'ined to re-
,pect such a request from them. even
# they were otherwise inclined to
make the park an issue.
In the second place. every intelli-
gent voter knows that no bond issue
ran be made without first submitting
he issue to the taxpayers OF La lara.
That being the case. how could the
Citizens ticket candidates. if elect
ed, force a bond issue on the town?
We ask this as reasonable men to in
telligent people.
The most that "A newly elected
council could do woHid be to submit
his proposition to the taxpayers, a
matter which the present council has
refused to do. And right in this con
nection. We want to ask you. is not
the present council the bunch Of die
.ators?" BY what right do they re
fuse to let the voters of La lara say
whether they want park or not? II
hey will take your powers and rights
away from you in this case, to what
straits may they not bring you next
BY what right do they call themselves
the Peoples representatives. when
they refuse to allow the people TO
vote on the issues that directly con
cern their own welfare?

terness, but only to show yon how
absurd is the campaign talk of GER

THE TIME TO ACT.

La Jara's crisis is here and every
voter should rise to the occasion
To every little city there comes a
time when the question becomes par
amount as to whether it shall go
ahead or go back.
That time is now here for La
lara On every side people are talk
ing of what the outcome of the town
is to be. Confidence seems to exist
in everyone's mind. Many believe
that the spell of the dictatorship is
to be overcome and La lara is to be-
come a progressive city. People are
ia king about building and word has
even been passed down that if the
will take the helm and guide affairs.
a new depot is forthcoming. A new
elevator. a garage. an opera house, q
hotel and varioIis other improvements
are almost assured facts If peope
who believe in and have at heart the
pro sress of the town will assert them
selves.
Now. we appeal to the voters at
Il is next council election. Get into
the harness as you never have before
and save the day for La lara.
1t will mean advancement in the
values of your properties and a gen
eral movement ahead for your home
city. Act.

1t is indeed silly that any council

sissippi Investment company had
withdrawn or even hedged on their
proposition to the city regarding a
park site. for such claims are most
easily diSproved.
To our representative. the president
and other members of that company
have said. we do not care one iota
whether the town of La Jara accepts
our proposition or not. Certain men
in this city have stated openly that
our greed caused us to offer the park
site and that we were doub ing the

so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

In view of the fact that the city
council has turned down our offer of
park site. free to the city of La
Jara. and in view of the further fact
that we have told some of our friends
and patrons that the council had ac-
cepted said park proposition, we beg
to make the following statement
through the columns of The Chron-
icle.
At the time that we put this prop
osition before the council. We made
only one demand, viz, that the city
match dollars with us in the propo-
siticn and we valued the land al
$1,000. That would mean that the
city. in order to obtain this land
spend the sum of s1.5OO in improving
it. At a second meeting of the coun.
ell. this proposition was accepted
forma ly and committee of the
whole council appointed to view the
ground and determine how much
money would be required to fix the
park UP right so that a bond issue
could be voted.
Last Tuesday the council saw fit
to rescind their former action. This
explains our position as regards the
facts. any other statements to the
contrary.
TRANS MISSISSIPPI INV. co.

President
The La Jara chronicle., 1910-03-25

We regret that public statements
made by some of the members of the
city council declaring the above state
ment untrue and further that the
Trans-Mississippi Investment com
pany have gone back on their first
proposition to the council, make it
nece ssary in order to make our po-
siticn clear with the people. to re-
affirm the above statement and to
make some additions thereto.
In the first place, we wish to en-
phasize the fact that we never made
hut one proposition to the council,
that being that we would deed the
agree to match ars" with US in
raising money to improve it. Some
of the members of the council re-
member this expression, match dol
lars although unfortunately the
minutes of the meeting do not in
any way show what our proposition
was. A member of the council then
asked what we meant by match
ing dollars" We replied that we
considered the land worth 81 500 to
MS. Now then, we never went be-
fore the council with any other prop
osition than this. When we made a
survey showing the Levels of this
ground and how the water could be
handled, we did so at the suggestion
of the council, and charged nothing
for our services. Those surveys.
made by competent man, one who
was cut and fill'' engineer with the
Rock Island railroad constructors on
their main line from Chicago to Cali
fornia, and who is capable to make
such survey, showed that the wat
ers from the Arroyo could be handled
in such n way as to preserve, undis-
turbed. the natural lakes on the park
site. at an expense of less than 500
to the city. We did not demand of
the city that they make this cut and as
before stated. this work was done
gratuitously by US for the instruction
OF the council, and had nothing what
ever to do with our proposition to
the city, which had READY been
made and formally accepted, and
which we considered settled.
We make this statement because
our integrity seems to have been ques-
toned by some of the council, and
we stand ready to make affidavit to
the statement.

RECLUSE FOUND

Jonathan Edwards, IA Years
Old, Thought to Have Sue
cumbed to Heart Disease.

Jonathan Edwards, an eccentric re-
cluse, "a years old, was found dead
at his home, 26 Fortieth street, this
morning. The body was found by
Lewis Borden, a neighbor, living at
the home of Samuel S. Miller, who was
one of the few visitors at the dead
mans home. He lived in a small one
story frame structure and devoted most
of his time to his chickens.
A bottle found near his bed at first
gave rise to the suspicion that the aged
man had committed suicide, 1t was,
however, later learned that it contained
a homemade herb medicine which he
had been using for many years.
On physicians examination 1t was
declared that death was due to heart
failure, and Deputy County Physician
NJ. Herbert Simmons authorized the re-
moval of the body to Kunz's morgue.

The pair left their home at 1880
o'clock yesterday morning, after hav-
ing refused to chop wood, as ordered
by their mother. They walked around
Newark all afternoon and at night
were afraid to go home.
Late last night they wandered into
the unroofed bank building and crawled
under a canvas. The bitter cold caused
them to cry and the policeman was
thereby attracted.
Edward said today: Gee, / was aw-
full afraid to go home: / had no right
to disobey my mother. l knew she
would tell papa and I know how he
can use the strap. / suppose / am in
for it now, but will have to take my
medicine" At this point the brothers
burst out crying.
