expedient road for the present time,

uncalled for because the majority OF
the taxpayers are not demanding it.
Be it therefore resolved, that we,
the members of the Wapello county

by protest against the use of any of
the county road fund for the building
of permanent or macadamized roads

Danville

A most beautiful wedding was
solemnized at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles S. Ranney, Danville,
when they gave in marriage their
daughter, Editha May, to Harry
George Hager. The marked sim
plicity of details gave both dignity
and beauty to the occasion. They
were united in marriage by the Rev.
Chauncey Adams, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, of which the
bride is a member. The double ring
service was used. The house was
attractively decorated, different color
schemes being used in the various
rooms. The parlor was all in green
and white, an arch across one cor
ner of the room being the principal
feature of decoration. The arch was
of clematis with sprays of Boston
ferns at intervals, and looked like
natures own work. Underneath the
arch was lined with the Boston fern
fronds with punches of white sweet
peas at intervals. Other decorations
in the room were bankings of ostrich
ferns in the center of which were
white asters. The decorations in the
living room were yellow and green
and the dining room was prettily
decorated with goldenrod and blue
asters. About so relatives and init
mate friends witnessed the cere-
mony. Marshall Stocker, cousin of
the bride, acted as usher. At just
half past seven, to the strains of
Lohengrin's wedding march, play
ed by Miss Bagby, the bridal couple
entered the parlor, preceded by little
Miss Mary Reed as ring bearer. The
little lady was all in white and car
ried the rings on silver tray. The
bride was beautiful in a gown Of
white crepe de chene with filet lace
trimmings and veil of marquisette,
caught with white sweet peas and
maiden hair ferns. Her only orna-
ment was a necklace of orange bios
som beads. She carried a shower
bouquet of brides roses and sweet
peas. An unusual but impressive
part of the ceremony followed the
pastors prayer, when the guests
united in repeating the Lords pray
er. After the ceremony congratula-
lions and best wishes were rendered
Mr.. and Mrs. Hager by the guests.
One of the prettiest features of the
evening was the cutting of the we'd
ding cake, which was made accord
ing to the real wedding cake
recipe of long ego, by Mrs. Collier,
grand mother of Mr.. Hager. De-
iicious refreshments were served by
friends OF the bride. The brides
gift to Miss Bagby was a silver
mounted hat brush and the gift to
the ring bearer was a gold ring.
Amid much merriment and showers
of confetti Mr.. and Mrs. Hager left
by auto for short wedding trip.
After October 5 they will be at
home at 115 Arlington avenue, Mon
treal. The brides going away suit
was blue Gabadine with a blue
and silver hat. The many beautiful
gifts gave evidence of the popularity
of both the young people. Mr..
Hager, formerly of PittsfeId, was
graduated from Pinkerton Academy
and is senior salesman for the Lii
brary Bureau of Canada Ltd He
is an active and valued member of
the Congregational church in Pitts
field. Mrs. Hager, who has for some

economically unsound and socially
unwise, except to meet the most
pressing civic demands; so also to
| live beyond current income, so as to
necessitate temporary loans, which
gradually accumulate until an in
crease in the tax rate, almost in
evitably permanent, must be re-
sorted to for relief, is equally I'M
sound municipal financeering. In
so far as this tendency toward pub
lie extravaganza can be held in
check by the establishment of a un-
form system of municipal account
ing, by the encouragement of eff
cheney in the expenditure of the
public revenues, and by further linn
itations upon the debt-creating
power of our towns and cities, we
commend these measures to the ia
vorable consideration of the general
assembly. We pledge ourselves to
a policy of economy in state expenses
and here, to that end, we recommend
a thorough investigation of the Off
cial duties and emoluments of the
various state commissions and all
state executive and judicial officers,
with a view to a readjustment upon
a practical business basis. We are
opposed to the establishment of new
salaried commissions, unless abso-
lutely necessary to carry out wise
state policies.
To further promote economy in
state expenses, we submit three spe-
cific recommendations:
First, that at or prior to the open
ing of the next session of the gener-
al assembly, a budget be prepared
by the fiscal officers of the state,
showing the estimated income of the
state for the next ensuing biennial
period, and fixed charges upon it's
revenue during such period, and
such other data as will most effect
lively aid the Legislature in making
it's appropriations for the support of
existing institutions and the estab-
lishment of such new governmental
agencies as may be deemed for the
best interests of the state;
Second, that the per diem basis of
compensation for members of the
Legislature be abolished and a fiat
salary for the session be substitute
ed therefor;
Third, that the next Legislature,
as soon as may be after it conVenes,
take steps to investigate the COM
pensation of the clerks, secretaries,
reporters, pages, and all other legis-
lative and state house officials and
and to adjust the same
upon an equitable and business-like
basis.
Upon the wisdom and justice of
the foregoing measures for the adj
vancement and prosperity of Yer
mont, we appeal to its freemen for
their support at the polls, and we
extend a cordial welcome to all
electors, regardless of their party af-
citations, who are in general accord
with us in this declaration. We en-
join upon the candidates this day
and all Republican can
in our several towns and
cities, the endorsement of this plat
form, hereby explicitly declaring that |
if they cannot advocate and support |
the general policies herein outlined, |
good faith to the Republican party |
and to the people demand their re-
fusal to accept Office as Republi-
cans"
