Pipe Dreams.

Pipe Dreams.
What should We do without the dreams
That come TO cheer and jolly,
That stem the tide. the seething streams
OF somber melancholy?
Hard pressed and sore beset by care,
We long for dreams and visions
And know that we shall find them there
In nicotine Elysiums.
At night with pipe beside the fire
We set the smoke clouds rolling
And dream that with our hearts desire
We in sweet fields are strolling;
That. wrapped in mantle wide OF peace.
With dear delights around us
From trouble We have found release
No more can sorrow wound us.
Not for the dreamer is the toll
OF dismal nights and dreary.
Above his head the smoke clouds roll.
And still his heart is CHEEKY.
So I'LL the pipe nor listen to
The rasping voice OF trouble,
And dream of JOY and hope anew.
So will your pleasures double.

The first and most important pro-
gressive step TO be taken under Ohio's
new constitution is an up-to-dats
movement for financing the building
OF good roads.
The good roads amendment was
defeated IA the every section where
good roads are most needed, because
the old fashioned bond issue proposed
involved s50.OO0.O0Q in principal and
another $50.00O.O00 in interest-sI00.-
100000 in all-for $4,000. 900 worth of
roads.
The farmers Of Ohio are not blind
to the interest burden. Most Of them
have carried it through hard work

lives.

getting into the worse mud of heavy
interest on bonds.
The new amendment which will be
submitted TO the people for adoption
next summer, briefly stated, is this:
An issue of 100000 of state
bonds for building good roads.
These bonds to bear only one-half
of one per cent interest, covering the
actual cost of issue and redemption
The state is to levy a tax, sufi
cient to collect 100000 annually to
redeem the bonds, paying off the to
tai issue in 25 years.
The bonds to be issued in denomi
nations of l, 2, 5, 10, 20, so and 1OC
dollars.
These bonds to be receivable by tbs
state for taxes.
Beginning early next spring | shall
make a state campaign, speaking in
every county, in advocacy of this
amendment, and soliciting signatures
to a petition for the special election
to be held in the fall.
II this amendment wins-and II
surely will-ohio will get 500, OOO, 900
without any toll in form of interest
The one-half OF one per cent, cover
in6 cost OF printing, etc, attached
as nominal interest on these bonds
serves to evade the federal tax Of
10 per cent on state currency, since
they are Understanding bonds"
At the same time, the convenient
denominations Of these bonds, and the
fact that the state receives them fol
taxes, will make them to all practical
purposes legal tender.
