Jorty the largest on record. ''He is a

AN APPEAL TO BUSINESS MEN.

1t is very unfortunate when a
purely business matter gets tan
gled up with politics, and the tax
payers are always to be f~elicitated
when a question involving a bond
issue is submitted as q clear-cut
business proposition, divorced from
the heat and passion Of a political
campaign. The special election
called August LIST to pass upon the
matter of bonding the state for
SO, 500, 900 to rebuild the state cap
itol, furnish it and purchase addi-
tional capitol grounds, is happily
one not complicated in any way
with politics. 1t is to be consid-
cred purely on its merits. Each
voter will decide as q business
proposition whether or not the
state should have an adequately
large, substantial, modern, artistic
fireproof capitol in which the bus
mess of the state may be trans
acted. If this question is answered
in the affirmative, the only remain
ing decision point Is whether to in
vest $3,5OO,0 900 or 5000, 900 in the
enterprise. If the smaller sum will
answer the purpose Of the state for
a century to come, why spend
/ 1000, 900 more in principal with
its added $1,500,000 in additional
interest? If you believe in divorc-
ing the states business from poll
tics, you must carry the special
election August LIST by a two-thirds
majority, because the S5,000,0 900
/ issue is to be decided at tie gen
eral election next year, If the
| $4,000, 900 issue is not authorized at
the special election. And that will
take the matter into a political
campaign and endanger the re-
building of the new capitol for q
decade to come. For this reason
the $4,000, 900 proposition to be
voted upon at the special election
August LIST, appeals to the business
man. 1t is a business matter that
should be settled in a business
way by business men. There are
doubtless selfish politicians who
want to drag the matter through a
half dozen campaigns regardless OF
the best interest of the state, but
the business men of Missouri will
see to 1t on August 1st that this
business matter is settled in a bus
mess way to the disappointment OF
the professional agitator.
Hermanner Volksblatt. [volume] (Hermann, Mo.) 1875-1928, 1911-06-30
A SOUND BUSINESS
PROPOSITION.

You can't figure out a soundcr
business proposition than that
which urges the people to vote the
| IS, 100000 new capitol August Isl.
The Jaw provides that only tlsis
amount may be used; that S300,000
OF it goes to furnishing the new
tapitol, $1,000 600 to purchasing addi
tiUnal capitol grounds; and $1,000
900 must rebuild the capitol com.
Elete-the state will not be liable
fSr any added sun expended. This
amount is broken UP into thirteen
| equal parts Of s269,230 per year,
the bonds running thirteen years,
which Is a sum SO small as rot 10
BE felt by such a rich and growing
state as ours. This annual pay
ment in turn is broken up into
Very small PARTS of 2 cents on the
500 assessed valuation and dis
Gi5uted among the taxpayers OF
| the state, a sum that means only
q few cents to each individual.
IRE proposition is not only q SOUND
ore when considered alone, but is
strengthened when considered in
tie light of the 100000 issue to
be voted on November, 1912, If the
august election fails to see its
adoption. To carry the $4,000, 900
proposition, not only means a new
state house which is badly needed
and which we can not build for
$. but ii also meal a saving OF
| sl,500,090 in principal and an equal
nount In interest over the $4,000
$50 plan. Its good business and
aoand policy and wise judgment to
| get behind the special election
proposition and carry it by the nee.
| cssary ~two-thirds.

The people have shown that when
they are convicted of an idea. when
they are convinced in an argument.
they are brave enough to vote their
convictions. The trouble has been,
through years of history, there
hasn't been enough Of sincere. con-
scientious conviction; of definite
aim, and steadfast purpose, on the
part Of leaders Of the people, to
win response. Truth bears its
message on its face Our people
have recognized it and they follow
after. What we need is truth and
backbone.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.


Let US bear IN mind in the midst
of all our enthusiasm, or the re-
verse, that United States Senators
are not elected by the people but
by the Legislatures. Our elec-
tions through a primary are only
instructions to the legislature and
are a State device to allow the peo-
pie to express themselves by vote.
Such expressions are not legally
binding on the members of the
Legislature; but no Representative
nor Senator would brook the dis
pleasure Of the people by going
contrary to instructions. Conse.
quently 1.-THE Primary settles it. "
On this principle Legislator
or Senator from his county or dis
trict should hearken to the voice Of
the people who elected him.
The Semi-weekly leader. (Brookhaven, Miss.) 1905-1941, 1911-08-05

Cotton Crop in Lincoln.

Brookhaven, Miss, Aug. A. The
cotton crop in Lincoln is in fine
condition as a whole. Some por-
tions of it are little grassy on
account of recent wet weather, but
the past four days, the farmers have
made rapid headway in cultivation.
The weevils which were so
numerous a month ago. seem to
have been checked and complaints
are not frequent. Two open bollE
have already been brought in, one
day later than for last year.
The concensus of opinion is. from
the present outlook: that a fair crop
will be realized from the limited
acreage planted. - Times-Democrat
