TAFT'S SPEECH

The address of President Taft de
livered on Lincoln's birthday in New
York is a clear-cut defense of the
republican party and of his admins
tration which must set the public to
thinking. The president very emphat
ically tells Wall street that the laws
will be enforced. The government
will not run amuck against corpora,
tions, but the antitrust laws will be
enforced.
The president still stands by the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, Offering proof
in figures that it is a distinct compli-
ance with the party platform for
downward revision.
He squarely faces those who have
declared the republican party is in
danger. He scouts that idea and fore
casts continued republican victory, on
the basis of republican constructive
legislation, The enemy, he points out,
is more badly disorganized than the
republicans.

The cost is a very, very small item
The estimate that has been furnished
the city by a competent engineering
firm, figures the cost at sos per

would mean a payment of SLABS with.
In fifty days, $l4.35 at the end of the
first year and that amount each year
for nine years.
Surely that amount is not going to
stand in the way of Norfolks going
ahead!
Is there a business man in Norfolk
who would contend that the value Of
his property would not be increased
very much more than that, by paving?
There isn't a renter on the street,
The News ventures to say, who
wouldn't be willing to pay 81 per
month more in rent, for 22.foot build
ing, for the sake of the paving. The
cost is so small as to be ridiculous as
an argument against paving.
Norfolk ought to be so glad that the
city now has more than 5000 people
and is thus allowed under the law to
vote bonds for paving street intersec-
tions, that there should be not mo-
ment's hesitation on the part of any
property owner in signing tina. petit

Hudson river, twenty-five thousand

destruction by private generosity and
dedicated as park during the Hud-
son-Fulton celebration. This served
as the beginning. Mrs. Edward Har.
riman gave ten thousand acres of land
and one million dollars. Other
wealthy citizens have contributed a
million and half more and Governor
Hughes has asked for a state appropri-

NORFOLK'S FUTURE IS AT STAKE

NOhfOlIh > FUTURE is All STAKE
The frank words of George A.
Brooks of Bazile Mills, whose success
gives his utterance more than usual
weight, serves to show the people of
Norfolk just exactly where Norfolk
stands in the eyes of north Nebraska
and southern South Dakota today, and
bring home with telling blows the
fact that more than getting the street
covered with bricks is at stake in this
paving crisis.
Mr.. Brooks says the northwest re-
CARDS Norfolk as lacking in enter
prise. He points out how there is a
great territory anxious to look up to
Norfolk as its commercial metropolis
and the people of that territory are
made weary by the tendency of a part
of Norfolk's property owners to hans
back and impede the city's progress.
This attitude serves to demonstrate
what The News has pointed out be-
fore; that Norfolk's paving proposition
is today in the spotlight, with thou
sands of eyes watching to see whether
Norfolk has the enterprise to go ahead,
or has not. Norfolks whole reputa-
ton for progressiveness is at stake-a
vastly more important thing, indeed,
than even paved street.
If Norfolk fails to pave, people out
side will lose confidence in the town.
And as result, Norfolk property
values would suffer immensely.
The cost of paving is so very small
that it has no right to be an obstacle.
For the cost represents not an ex-
pense, but an investment, and an in
vestment upon which rapid returns
will be yielded.
1t is time Norfolk got into it's stride
both in providing itself with modern
paving and in establishing itself as the
wholesaling center of it's great terri
tory. The paving will come from the
property owners who are to be most
benefited; the wholesaling point will
come as a result of more advantage
Gus freight rates which should COM
mand the concentrated attention of
the Commercial club from now on
until victory is secured.

Consequently no petition is neces-

thus give solid support to the mayor

Enough property owners have al
ready signed the petition, however, to
amply justify the council in going
