CAPITOL HILL
WOULD RESTORE ROADLAW
MONEY TO THE TOWNSHIPS
Bill introduced in Legislature Provides
That Money Which State Neglected
to Pay Shall Revert to the Rural
Communities

Representative Rothenberger, of
money guaranteed them by the road
law of 1913, which the State neglect
ed TO pay, and to that end he has in
trodueed a bill making an arpropria-
tion of $1,500,000 to cover the de-
ficieney.
The preamble of the bill sets fortb
that under the act approved July 22,
1913, entitled can act relating to
roads; providing for the supervision,
construction, maintenance and repair
of township roads; relating to road tax,
and providing penalties for the viola
tion thereof, the State agreed to pay to
the proper township Of the second class
fifty per centum of cash road taxes col
lected in townships of the second class,
but owing to lack of sufficient APP
preparation the State has paid only a
small part of said fifty per cent. for the
road year ending the first Monday in
December, 1914, whereby large de-
ticieney has arisen under the provisions
of said act.
Then follows the bill proper which
provides that the sum of S1.5O0, 900,
or so much thereof as may be neees-
sary, is specifically appropriated to
cover the deficiency that has arisen in
carrying out the provisions of said act
for the road year ending the first Mon
day of December, 1914.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on appropriations. Should the money
be appropriated it will go far towards
aiding those townships that have hon
estly collected their road taxes under
the promise that the State will pay
its fifty per cent, a proposition that the
State has, to Use the vernacular,
welehed on" for the reason that it
failed to make a sufficient appropria-
tion to carry out its intentions.

THE SALOON
KEEPERS PRAYER

There is one saloon in Kalama-
ZOO, Mich, which has a reasona-
bic prospect of immunity from
the attentions Of the crusaders
TOR some time to come. When
they recently visited the place
the proprietor politely invited
than talca1s - y =
if they fell so disposed. The
good ladies invoked the Throne
of Grace at great length, petit
toning that the saloonkeeper
might be shown the error of his
way. He listened patiently, and
when they had finally finished
he himself offered the following
prayer:
Almighty Creator in Heaven;
Thou who hast made the heaven
and the earth, and created man
in Thine own image as ruler of
the earth; whilst animals are
living on grass and water, Thou
didst teach thy servant Noah to
make wine; and thou didst pun
ish him for making Incorporate
use Of it. At the wedding of
Cana, Thine own son, Jesus
Christ, transformed water into
wine when the juice of the grape
was exhausted, that the guests
might not be disturbed. Martin
Luther, said: He who loves not
wine, woman and song, remains
a fool his whole life long. And
one of the divine commands of
the Book Thou hast given US is
that man shall drink no longer
water, but shall use a little wine
for his stomach's sake and his
other infirmities. And all great
men of this earth have been
of the wine Thou has

ALLIES 100000
AGAINST 3,5OO,OOO
GERMANS

The end of the war is in sight
but still far away.
But it has reached a settled
point. We now know what is
the chief aim Of each side.
Briefly, this is what alIv and
Teuton hope to do to finish the
war.
The allies will direct every en-
ergy to wear out the Germans.
They say Germany'S loss in
blood and bone will put her out
of it in year. The allies pur-
pose from now on will be to
make the Germans fight and
lose men all the time and keep
themselves from being whipped.
The Germans know this. Their
strategy, which has been forced
upon them, is this: To try to
whip one enemy nation at a time
thoroughly, SO that the country
Will be compelled to ask for
peace or beso weakened as to be
helpless. In the meantime, the
Teutons will try to break out of
their Iron ring to where they can
get more men for their armies. |
They hope to get supplies of
blood and bone in Turkey, Asia
Minor, Egypt and India.
If they can do neither, they
are defeated.
Their armies will get smaller
all the time while the allied ar
mics will get bigger.
It's all a case of blood and bone.
The allies have nearly three
times as much blood and bone to
feed to their cannon as the leu
tons have.
This problem in human flesh
and arithmetic makes the sum-
mer of 1916 the crisis in this CO.
|ossal struggle. .-...------., = :
It's a three to one bet, with :
the odds against the Teutons.
For the longer Germany fights .
the smaller her armies become y
and the larger become the fight
ing forces of the allies, in COM
parison.
And, if the looses on both
sides are as heavy in the second
year of the war as in the first
when each side lost approximate t
" 5000, 900 men permanently
