Democratic Candidate for County
Commissioner

John C. Earleywine is serving his
first term as member of the board
of county commissioners and during
that period has demonstrated that the
people of Knox county made wise
selection when they elected him to
the office. He has brought an intelli-
gent and painstaking care to the null
titudinous duties of the Office and has
exercised exceedingly good judgment
in solving all questions that have
come up and in disposing of the public
business in the interests of the tax
payers and the public at large. He has
proven very valuable member Of
the board of commissioners, and the
experience he has had will be of
great advantage, as the other mem.
bers of the board will be new men at
the business.

AUTO
Skidded And Occupants Had
Thrilling Experience

Mr.. and Mrs. Schooler Horn of
Bladensburg had thrilling and un-
usual experience Thursday evening on
returning from the Coshocton county
fair. They were driving back in their
automobile and had no chains on the
tires. The road, which was wet and
slippery on account Of the rain, caused
their machine to skid, turning 1t out
OF the road and down over an embank.
ment Instead of turning turtle, the
machine remained upright and ran
into tree growing on the side Of the
bank, which stopped its descent. II
was little short of miracle that the
auto did not upset and the occupants
sustain serious injuries.

"Nearer, My God, to Thee 81

preacher bought him a Ford auto.
One of the witty old deacons of the
church, who had had some expert
.ence with Ford, sent this revision
of the twenty-third psalm to. the
preacher: : +
The Ford is my auto, I shall not
want-another. !
1t maketh me to lie down beneath
it; it sourest my soul. ~
1t leadeth me in the paths of ridi-
Guile, for its names sake. =
Yea, though I ride through the
valleys am lowed up the hills,
For l fear much evil, for thy rods
and thy engine discourageth me.
I annoint tiny tires with patches, my
radiator runneth over.

ence of mine enemies. II
Surely if this thing followeth me all
the days of my life, ~
I will dwell in the bug-house forever.

20 miles an hour

A Fool Proposition,

Some misguided association, pur-
porting to be friend of the farmers,
is advocating amending the Dunn
good road law so that all money
raised for road improvement shall be
expended in that locality. This
sounds plausible until you make a
little study of the question.
1t is we'll settled principle that
cities get a large degree of their
prosperity from the country, and in
raising money for road making a
large share of the burden has been
placed OH the cities. New York
City, for instance, pays 90 per cent
of the state road tax, while Boston
pays 40 per cent, and not cent Of
the money has ever been used to
make roads in either of these cities.
In Minnesota the cities of Duluth,
St. Paul and Minneapolis, and the
three counties in which they are
located, pay over one-half the state
one mill tax under the Dunn law.
The other cities and villages prob
ably pay 30 per cent of the tax. The
Minnesota towns only pay about 20
per cent of the tax, and yet every
dollar is expended on the country
highways, and not a cent on the
streets of any city or village. =
TO amend the law as proposed
would be hardship to the farmers
of Minnesota who would then be
called upon to pay the entire cost of
the construction and maintenance of
the country roads, while the people
from the cities and villages, who use
these roads with their automobiles
and teams. would escape tax free. r.
Experience may show that the
Dunn law may need few amend
ments, but these amendments should
be made by the friends of the law,
and not it's enemies. st. Cloud
Journal-Press.
[*Section IS of the Dunn road law
provides that under certain con-
ditions money from the state road
and bridge fund.- may be expended
on connecting street in a village or
