WHAT THE ROAD TAX MIGHT
 HAVE DONE.

In Faulkner county we have been paying the three-mill road tax for about l5 years. If all this money could have been put into trust fund at six per cent interest, it would have by this time produced sum sufficient to build 75 or 100 miles of permanent road. "a
 In reverse order, this is what is proposed to be done by the Condray road bill. If the law is adopted, we shall continue to pay an annual tax for roads. But instead of waiting until sufficient money for the purpose accumulates, we shall be permitted to borrow the money, build the roads at once, begin to enjoy them and then pay for them gradually in annual in- stallments.

DAILY EDITION.
NOW IS THE BEST TIME.

Instead of being an argument against building permanent roads by bond issue, the present financia condition of the people of the county is one of the best reasons why this work should be undertaken immedi ately.
 If two or three hundred thousand dollars of outside capital can be brought into the county and dis tributed among the people during the coming summer and fall it will dc more to relieve the situation than al most anything that could happen Every citizen of the county will be directly and immediately benefited by the expenditure of this vast sum of money. There will be an abund- ance of labor for every man and team that is available. People who can not now see how they are going to make it through until another crop marketing time will be able to get work for which they will receive cash. Merchants, bankers and pro- fessional men will all feel the benefit of this influx of money into the coun- ty. Then the taxpayers will have 20 or 30 years in which to pay back the money.
 But of course the greatest direct benefit to everyone will be the roads themselves, which may be travelled winter and summer with equal ease,

Then Capt. Weckler went on to tell of
the reputation of the Eastland among
the lake men. Cranky was his de-
scription. He told OF how the Eastland
had one deck taken on several years ago
in Cleveland TO make her safer. but he
pointed out that the addition Of three
tons of concrete floors and at least two
tons OF life RATS and additional life belts
at least counteracted the weight taken
of.
And. personally I never considered
the Eastland capable OF carrying more

ter quit travelling on his ears as
they say along the river. He said she
was a twin screw boat and after the
