ROADS CAMPAIGN.

The Indiana Good Roads associa-
tion says that the campaign for bet
ter roads in Indiana has only COM
menced and that the association pro-
poses to bring tbs people of the state
to a full realization of the necessity
and value of good roads everywhere.
Among the many benefits OF improv-
ed roads, the association notes the
following:
Good roads are an absolute neces-
sity to progress.
Much of the high cost of living is
traceable to the loss caused in haul
ing farm products to market.
Good roads help the farmer and
the merchant alike.
Good roads make the country a
pleasant and easy place to go to.
Good roads provide way to trans
port the products of the farm, as well
as the products of the store and fac
tory, from where they are plenty to
where they are scarce.
Good roads is a question of civili-
cation.

ARE You A MEMBER !?

Everybody who owns stock in the
city OF Hammond ought to be MEM
Der of the new Hammond commercial
club for this organization, acting in
conjunction with the city officials, is
the board of directors of the city of
Hammond.
This board of directors usurps its
authority, it is true, but it holds it
by that right which comes with the
assumption of certain responsible
ties. 1t enforces it's mandates by the
big stick public opinion.
Who are the people who own stock
in the city of Hammond? They are
the people who own a plot of ground
with a cottage on it, no matter how
completely that property may be
mortgaged they are the people who
are conducting the rs grocery stores,
the 80 meat shops, the 100 saloons
cial Hammond, they are the real es-
tate dealers, the bankers. the manu-
facturers, the doctors, the lawyers,
the contractors, the carpenters and
the other artisans
In short everybody who has an in
|terest in Hammond that can be
measured by dollars and cents is a
stakeholder in the city of Hammond
He may have only one share of Ham
mond stock or he may have million.
And whether his holdings be large
or small he has right to be heard
He has right to representation on
the board of directors. He may as
sert that right or he may let it GO
| by default
The organization of a commercial
club will crystalize public opinion ac-
cording to the Judgment, not of tbs
few, but of the many. The greater
the membership the more nearly will,
the clubs view be representative OF
the whole city; the composite view o.
the city.
| So when this new organization i.
formed and takes up the great prob
lens of city building which confront
Hammond and solves them accordinf
to the wisdom of the best minds; tn.
stockholder of Hammond. Inc. wht
does not have voice in the direc
torate has only himself to blame.
