So State May Issue Bonds
To One Per Cent.
An Educational Campaign Is
Also Planned
And II Is Hoped To Have
Much Better Roads

Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 13.--Not many
years have the supporters of bigger
and better things in the matter of
roads had such bright prospects as at
the present time AT the annual meet
ing of the Ohio Good Roads Federation
held this afternoon at Parlor b., Chit
tenden hotel, Columbus, Ohio, there
We're present representatives of the
various allied county organizations to.
gether with officers of farmers
oranges, automobile CLUBS, business
mems clubs, boards of trade, and man
ufacturers' organizations throughout
the state. Addresses were made by
the officers of federation together with
reports from the treasurer and secre-
tary.
All present seemed to realize that
in the coming constitutional conven-
tion a great opportunity is afforded
the people of Ohio to advance their
commerce, industry and social condi-
tions, by providing for a system of i'm
proved roads throughout the state.
Last winter when Governor Harmon
vetoed the law which would have pro-
vided about three million dollars per
year for the construction of an inter-
county system of roads, it was thought
that the good roads movement had re-
ceived a setback, but the governors
| objections to the bill were well found
ed, even in the estimation of good
roads proponents, and it is for the
purpose of overcoming these objec.
tions that the constitutional amend
ment has been suggested So, for the
purpose of securing this amendment
the Ohio good roads federation will
conduct campaign of publicity
! throughout the state If successful,
| the value of this precedent will be far
reaching for If Ohio declares it to be
good business policy to issue long
term bonds for the construction of
roads throughout the state, it Is more
| likely that other states will be encour.

may persuade others to leave their
city flats and nerve-racking occupa'
tons for the free, independent life
OF the farmer.

with the idea OF buying city home,
In this we were probably more FOR
tunate than thousands OF others.
When my wife and landed on our
Arkansas farm We knew nothing
about farming except the little tech
nical knowledge we had crammed in
to our heads from a few months
reading Of farming journals and gov
eminent reports. or the practical
side of farming We knew nothing. We
found the farm In a rundown cordi-
ton, but we determined that from
the very beginning II must produce
everything its live stock and human
occupants consumed, except few
groceries and little clothing: that
100 acres OF good land should do that
IL nothing more.

Mrs. Robert c. 6laly, OF Bay City
Wins Decree.

BAY CITY, Jan. 10.-A decree OF
divorce and 100000 permanent all
mony has been awarded Mrs. Carrie
A. Bialy. wife OF Robert G. Bialy,
sugar manufacturer. capitalist. and
merchant. Cruelty and desertion were
the grounds.
Bialy and his wife were noted for
the frugality with which they hvel
their expenses being often less than
81 500 per year. and this phase OF the
lives OF the two brought forth a dis
cussion from Judge Collins.
After reciting how Bialy started
married life with $l,400 and increas
ed that by shrewd and persevering
work to 100000 he said.
"His life record shows that one OF
the penalties of the accumulation oi
this large fortune has been at a great
loss OF personal happiness to his wife
and himsei. IL certainly must be
true that IL a part Of the time devoted
to accumu lating and saving money

ties happier, he would have been the
gamer. II Is further true that his for
tune would have been practically as
great IL during his life there had beer
an expenditure of $4,000 or $4,000
more than has been expended In pro
noting the enjoyment and happiness
of his wife and himself"

CHURCH CLUB HOUSE MEETS
WITH DIR. B0YD'S APPROVAL.
pool Tables, Dance Hall and Bowling
Alley All Right " Under Chris
tlan Influence, He Says.

The Rev. John III. Boyd, pastor OF
the First Presbyterian church, sym
pathizes in a measure with the estao-
lishment OF a club house In connec-
ton with a church, but he would not
tolerate such q departure were 1t not
permeated with the religion OF Jesus
Christ. Regulated with such Chris
tian influences, he would not be al
verse 10 having bowling alleys, pool
tables, gymnasium and smoking room
In the club house. He has no fault
to find with dancing. but he regards
Il as a sort OF intellectual vacuum and
his aim would be TO encourage the
young people to follow pleasures
which would lift them to the highest
Christian and intellectual standards.
Mr.. Boyd gave expression TO MS
ideas in regard To church club houses
when asked by The Times, Tuesday
morning, for his opinion on the de
parture made by the Rev. +. X. Godol-
phin, rector of Grace Episcopal church,
Grand Rapids, Mich, who has opened
club house In connection with his
parish. Dancing is TO be one OF the
forms OF amusement. IL Is also re-
ported that. while strict supervision Is
to be had over the club house. none
OF the strait-laced doctrinal rules OF
old are to hamper the boys and girls

CAV 7 CHANGE RATE
SAYS COMMISSION
d. & NJ. Road Attacks Railway Com
mission Law-,Arguments Com
pleted in Important Case.

Argument was completed, Monday
night. In Judge Murfin's court In the
case OF Detroit q Mackinac railroad
against the Fletcher Paper Co., the
Churchill Lumber Co. and the Island
Lumber Co., or Alpena, and the Mich
igan railroad commission. The case
is one OF great Importance to ship
pers OF logs In the northern part OF
the state, and In all other states
where numbering operations are con-
Quoted on large scale.
The case brings up the question OF
the right OF the railroad commission
TO abrogate a rate and make one OF
its own liking. The plaintiff derives
great deal of It's business In car
rying logs, and much of this business
Is done over branch lines built joint
~ by the railroad company and the
mmbermen. A rate of 1915 for hard
wood and $3.50 for hemlock was es-
tablished. but after the lumber be-
came scarce the lumbermen objected
to the rate and asked for fiat rate
of $2.75. The railroads refused and
offered rate OF SO. The lumbermen
carried the matter TO the commission.
and that body made an entirely new
rate. The railroad claims that roads
built as these were on private prop
orty for the convenience OF shippers.
are not common carriers. and that,
therefore, the commission has no
authority over them. Attorney James
Mcnamara, who represented the
plaintiff, claimed that the law Is full
OF Inconsistencies, in that IL gave the
commission the power OF both prose
cutor and Judge He argued that the
commission had not the power tn
make a rate and then act In judicial
authority.
Mr. Mcnamara believes the matter
of such Importance that he will call
the attention OF the legislature TO the
law, and recommend an amendment
Judge Murfin will not be ready
with his decision for several weeks,
as Il involves great deal OF study,
but no matter what his decision the
case will probably be carried TO the
highest court in the country, and the
decision will affect lumbermen In
every state In the union.
