NAVY HEAD HEARS
PROTEST OF CENSAR

Washington, Sept. 11.-Secretary
Daniels ha before him today for
NAL protest against navy censors in
Marconi wireless telegraph stations.
Through its counsel the company
contends that the navy department
has no jurisdiction or authority over
its operations.
1t became apparent that the navy
department will not recede from the
position it has taken to censor all
messages. No one would express an
opinion whether If the Marconi
company took the case to the courts
as 1t intimates it will, the stations
would be closed pending the adjhdi-
cation of the respectiye rights OF the
government and the Rnbahy.
Navy department Officials disa-
gree entirely with the vfe~~that
there was no violation of neutrality
in the transmission of a message
from the Suffolk asking for supplies
and provisions. The message was re-
ceived and forwarded to New York
in, the absence. OF, the navy censor.

COSTS ss,soo.ooo A MoHTH TO
KEEP OUR SOLDIERS IN MEXICO

Wash in gton. Sept. 11.-Congress
is about to raise $10D,0OO,OO0 In
added taxos to. pay government ex-
penses caused by the reduction In
revenue due. to the war.
[ It is costing the taxpayers of the
United States approximately three
and a half million dollars month
more than the ordinary military ex-
penditures to keep the army and
navy in Mexico, or at the rate OF
over forty million dollars year.
Why not, then, as a financial
measure alone. recall the army and
navy from Vera Cruz?
Why, at this great cost. incur the
danger Of flare up and costly war
on our own hands!'
Since July i. the beginning Of the
present fiscal year. the expenditures
on pay warrants drawn on the treas
ury for. the military and naval es-
Establishments combined have amount
ed to fifty y-eight million, one hundred
and thirty thousand and seven dol
lars and seventy-two cents.
HOW 0uCh tulb 10 hDoNC thS ho'
NAL for keeping up these establish
ments is shown by comparison with
the same period year ago when this
total was $50, 108, 1885.
The difference, $7.031.S75 II
approximately the excess OF expend-
fture entailed upon the country dur
ing the period Of 63 days since tht
beginning OF the fiscal year by the
fact that our soldiers and ships ART
at Vera Cruz.
II is easy to calculate that since
last April. when the occupation be
gan, at the rate Of three and hall
millions a month, the occupation o.
Vera Cruz has cost the people Of th'
United States approximately $17,
800 900. :, As matter Of fact thu
figures will be much above this wher
all bilsl are rendered. ra

EARTH AND GRAVEL ROADS. .

At this particular time of the
year the matter of road mainte-
nance is very prominent in GER
tain parts of the country, and it
may not he quite useless to add
one more to the long list of pro-
tests against the manner in
which this work is too frequent
ly carried out.
Probably few specifications
for the construction of earth
roads have ever been written in
which it was not particularly
stipulated that sods and other
organic matter should not be al
lowed in the roadbed, and though
there may be some having charge
of small town road work who
would deliberately place sods,
roots and like material in the
surfacing of an earth or gravel
road. they are probably very
few. Yet these same so called
road builders do not hesitate to
go out in the spring with a road
machine. open up the bitches
and transfer the sods, stones,
roots and the rest of the winters
collection of rubbish to the CEN
ter of the road to be worn down
by traffic. This is designated To-
cally as working the roads" and
by various other equally apt
terms.
The road machine is an excel
lent apparatus when properly
used and all earth and gravel
roads should be cared for early
in the spring.-Good Roads.

they are not getting enough
county officials. The southern
part of the county has always
been willing to support any man
put up in any part Of the county,
but when the northern part puts
up half a dozen men for sheriff
and expects us to select one they
are using poor policy. IL they
had put up two good men for
that office one would surely
have. been nominated. When the
vote had to be divided between so
many they could not expect to
win out. the same applies to
other county offices. Garrison
has no kick coming. Two good
men were elected from there, the
clerk of court and a member of
the house Of representatives.
Garrison has very little cause
for stirring up trouble and howl
ing for county division, which
would give the southern portion
just a scrap, twenty-four town
ships. 1t is all to satisfy one
man, j. E. Nelson, who has a
great grievance against the
southern part in not succeeding
in nominating the candidates he
put up.
We spoke to one Of the most
prominent men Of Garrison the
other day and he said it was only
one mans doings. Nelson was
the whole promoter. It is said
he now has a new scheme, it is
to drop the first petition and
start a new one and from the
boundary lines we have seen, it
looks like a worse boot leg than
the old one.
We will say it again. We are
not opposed to county division
but we do not propose to accept
any Nelson cure without fight.
When the line is drawn straight
and we get fair proposition we
are in favor Of it, but we will
not take what Nelson is throwing
at us. The people of Garrison
have had considerable expert
ence in county division and ought
to know enough to- come out
square. The southern part is
entitled to one-halfj and will
take it on straight lines. The old
settlers should be allowed to
stay together and when the new
county takes in Coleharbor they
are wrong.
1t is surprising that the good
people Of Garrison will sign up
propositions to get votes. They
ought to know it is strictly
against the law. County divi-
sion could be had without buy
ing or trading votes f the coun-
ty is divided equally and on
straight lines and not like a boot
leg for spite work.
Next week we will publish the
road tax levies in all the unor-
ganized townships and the
amount spent on road work in
each Of these townships.

issue are published two ar
ticles from the Garrison In
dependent and the ," Benedict
Banner. They seem to think
they have grievance in that
they are not getting enough Of
the road taxes spent in their
section of the county. Accord
ing to correct figures, in 1913 the
road tax levy in 148-S4, Garri-
son township, was $448.4O. The
amount paid for road work in tks
same township the same year
was $2434.72, making a tx.al Of
$1986.32 more spent on the roads
than they paid in taxes that
year. In 1914 the road tax levy
was $433.O9. The amount spent
for road work in the same town
ship so far this year amounts to
$702.55, that makes $269.46 more
spent on.roads this year than was
paid in. Everyone who is posted d
the county knows that when
Frank L. Mackey was commits
sioner he had more money spent
in his district than was ever paid
in on taxes; records will prove
this.
Let us take 1853, Max town
ship. In 1913 the road tax levied
was $311.33; amounts paid for
road work was $1381.75, makig
$1O7O.42 more spent than was
paid in on road taxes. In the
same township in 1914 the road
tax levy was $312.41, amount
paid out for work done on roads
this year $1055.65. total of $743.-
"a more than paid in.
In township 1850 the road
tax levy in 1913 was $270.78;
amount paid on road work same
year $1S01.lS, total Of $1530.4O
more than paid in. In 1914 the
levy in same township was
$245.S3, paid on road work S439.-
O5. ......
The commissioners levy road
tax in only the unorganized tow1-
ships. The total amount levied
in each of the three commits
sioner's districts was as follows {:
First district-$2,961 ,O1; Second
district = $3,308.99; Third
listrict-$1 ,5O1.64. The town
ships along the north 500 line are
all organized with the exception
Of three.
These figures have been hand
ed us through the courtesy Of
our county auditor and they are
correct and will stand inspection
by anyone.
These figures are for those who
are making such a howl about
not enough money being spent
for road work according to the
amount of taxes they are pay
ing.
We admit there are two or
three townships that have not
had as much money spent as
they have paid in taxes but we
are not posted as to the cause Of
this, the honorable board and
road supervisors can explain it.
The figures are published here
to show how little some know
ABOUT the real facts.
Mr.. Cooper Of the Benedict
Banner should take trip to the
southern part Of the county, es--
pecially in the ighborhood of
Washburn where he says the ex-
penses have been made. If you
come down, Mr.. Cooper, your ex-
penses will be paid if you can
prove where more money has
been spent here than anywhere
else in the county. You will be
the first man who has ever
been able to show us where the
work has been done. Anybody
knows less money has been spent
around Washburn than any
place else as we have no roads
in any direction. We admit we
had good roads before some Of
