THE JEFFERSONIAN

SlneCur0 JOBS" In the d1HerenC
branches OF the Public Works De-
partment, under controy of the
Board of County Commissioners.
Dive oppose the use of convicts
in the opening up of 70 always
through large acreages of vacant
land. belonging to rich men and syn
dicates, for the purpose of enriching
the owners of such lands, at the ex-
pense of the taxpayers.
Eve favor the abolishing of the
Criminal Court of Atlanta, as recon-
mended by the Grand Jury in their
presentment at the November term,
1914.
The taxpayers having every reason
to believe that that court, as estab-
lished, has passed it's usefulness in
the correction and punishment for
crime.
Eve oppose the present
methods and system in operation in
the handling Of criminal cases in the
criminal courts in our county, the
expense attached being too burden
some.
In the past six months, the cases
made in the courts have burdened
the taxpayers with the enormous
costs of more than an average of
one hundred dollars, to each, cash,
which is more by seventy-fve per
cent, than ever before in the history
Of our county.
Give oppose the employment, at
the expense of the taxpayers, of men
who call themselves deputies, to ar
rest and conf1ne in Jail and to perse-
cute through the court cases for rev.
enue only.
H-We insist on jury trials in the
Criminal Court of Atlanta, until that
court is abolished, as recommended
by the Grand Jury, November term,
1914.
I've believe in the cherting of
public roads in and out of Atlanta to
the county line, but disapproVe of
the cherting or matchmaking of pri-
vate roads through rich mems es-
tates or cross-county by convicts and
at the expense of the county, where
such roads are used by private indi-
viduals in reaching the public roads.
i've believe in the purchasing Of
farm lands by the county-one large
county, and one in the center Of the
south Of the county-for the work
ing and cultivation in the raising Of
foodstuffs and supplies for the con-
victs and other public institutions OF
the county; and on these two farms
we believe that the pacing of con-
victs, disabled from road duty, Or too
light in weight for road work as farm
1aborers in the cultivation Of the
land, would assist largely in the low
ering of the taxes of the taxpayers.
We stand for recall and referendum
in the County of Fulton.
Upon motion, the above platform
was adopted, with directions to the
Secretary to send copies to the news
papers and a copy TO the Board Of
County Commissioners, through it's
chairman.

Secretary.

SECOND man TO Be HONORED
Kenosha Veterans High in Their Praise
Of Entertainment Provided at Ra-
cine on saturday-Nex Reunion to
BE Held In Kenosha in 1916.

It Is now "Comrade Cooper On
last Saturday afternoon at the annual
reunion Of the Soldiers and Sailors Of
Racine and Kenosha counties, held in
Racine, the Hon. Henry Allen Cooper,
long a representative Of the First Wis
ed as an honorary member of the
Grand Army of the Republic and Of the
Racine-Kenosha County Veterans AS
ISOLATION. His election was by the
unanimous vote Of the members Of the
various posts attending the reunion.
This is the second time that the Ra-
cine and Kenosha county posts have
conferred the degree Of honorary mem
bership. The late q. G.. Simmons, who
had emdeared himself to the members
Of the Grand Army in many ways, was
also an honorary member of their or
ganization and he priced his member
ship greatly Congressman Cooper
was the principal speaker at the re-
union on Saturday. He has been very
active in work for the veterans of the
civil war and has championed their
cause on many occasions on the floors
of congress. He has been especially
active in securing legislation which
makes possible the payment of just
pensions to the men who served in the
union army.
Members of the Kenosha organiza-
rbn ~ De-
cine or Saturday, declare that it was
the most interesting gathering of
soldiers and sailors held in this sec
zion Of the state in years. Depart
ment Commander Mckay, who had
been expected by the members of the
Racine post, failed to put in an APP
pearance, but this did not in any way
interfere with the pleasures Of the day
for the old soldiers and their friends
At the business session of the inter
county organization, the following Of
ficers were elected: President, John
Delhi; secretary and treasurer, David
Dram; chaplain, Theodore Boyington.
The executive committee to have
charge of the work Of the association
70 rthe coming year is made up of
W. Mills, A. Weber, j. Gilmore and
David Pierce.
The place for the holding Of the 1916
reunion was not decided upon but the
matter was left in the hands of the
executive committee 1t is probable
that the next meeting will be held in
Kenosha county and. probably at

gram included musical numbers by the

EMPLOYS TWO MOTOR COPS
Sheriff Is Given Power to Employ and
Discharge Special officers and viii
Be Held Responsible for Proper En-
forcemant Of the New Ordinance.

The Kenosha county board at the
closing meeting of the one-day session
on Saturday went the limit for the pro-
lection of the roads Of the county and
at the same time it decided to offer
some protection for automobile drivers
who may be liable to arrest under the
ordinance passed by the board on Sat-
urday morning. The board directed
that road signs be erected ON all roads
IN the county showing the legal speed
for automobiles. These signs will be
erected under the direction Of the town
chairman Of each town, and it is expect
ed that they will flash their warning
to people from other counties and
states before the end of, the present
summer. 1t is planned to put in enough
signs to cover all OF the roads and to
this end the signs will be put in at
nearly every road intersection.
The enforcement of the new road law
was left wholly in the charge of Sheriff
A. F. Stahl and the board gave him a
lot OF leeWay to secure the proper en-
forcement. The county is to have its
own motorcycles and committee was
appointed to purchase two motorcycles
for the use of the deputy sheriffs to be
named by the sheriff. These motorcy-
Giles will be for use in all parts of the
county and it is expected that deputies
will work not only on the north Lake
Shore road and the Geneva road but
that they will be sent out to curb speed
ers in the western part of the county
as well. There has been lot of COM
plants on account of speeding in the
Ineighborhood of Salem and it is proba-
BILE that a deputy will give at least a
part of his time to the patrolling Of
the roads in that town. The board di-
rected the sheriff to employ one deputy
for the roads at a salary Of eighty dol
lars month and if it is found that one
man can not take care of the enforce
ment of the new ordinance the sheriff
has power to employ another The
whole matter is left in the hands of
the sheriff and he is to be held respon-
sible for the action of the deputies. He
may employ and discharge them as he
sees fit and all that the county board
will demand of the sheriff is that the
roads be made safe for travel. In TAX
| ing this action it is declared that the
Kenosha county board has made as gen
erous provision for enforcement of a
speed ordinance rs any county il the
state. It is expected that the present
motorcycle cops viii be kept on the
job under the new provision made by
the members Of the county board.

CONCORD SEEKS INFORMATION.
Wants Kenosha Judges Advice on
How to Take Care of the Kids.

Historic old Concord, down New
Hampshire way, has come to Kenosha
seeking advice. Judge G. E. Randall
of the Kenosha municipal court, this
morning received letter from the
Judge of the municipal court in Con-
cord seeking advice. How to Take
Care of the Kids is declared to be
Concord IS biggest problem and Judge
Randall is asked to aid in solving it
for them. The judge down in Concord
wants to know what the value OF a
curfew law is, Judge Randall hurried
to inform him that Kenosha had never
had curfew law and that there was
no reason to suspect that such an ordi-
nance would be passed here. He also
intimated that in old Concord as well
as in new Kenosha the real problem
was not in taking care of the children,
but in teaching the parents Of the
children how to take care of them.

NO PERMITS FOR TAxIs
Attorney General Holds That New Jit
ney Bill Does not Apply to Liveries

The question as to whether the new
jitney regulation bill applies to taxi
cabs and carriages has been answered
by the attorney general Of the state,
who gave out an opinion on Saturday
in which he declared that the new law
requiring permits from the railroad
commission does not apply to taxicabs
or hveries. This opinion it is declared
opens the way for ignoring the new
regulation bill. In Milwaukee many of
the jitney drivers are having signs
painted to read {" Automobile for hire. -
1t is declared that in this way the auto
mobiles will be taken out of the iitney
class and placed in the taxicab class.
The rates for fare will be the same as
before but with automobiles Gfor
hire it is declared that the driver may
20 where he pleases without regard to
routes laid down by the railroad com
mission. 1t is probable that lot Of
the Kenosha jitney drivers will take
the same plan. This plan would make
it unnecessary for the automobile driv-
ers to furnish an indemnity bond

proved By the governor and officially

this law it becomes the duty of John
Spartz, the chairman Of the county
board to name three men or women of

Walter Petersen of the Racine county
board named members Of the committee
on Thursday and under the law they
will meet on next Tuesday for organ

ty board Of education have shown no
opposition to the law which legislated
them out Of Office. It is probable that
Chairman Spartz will name one or more
of the old members of the board as

TELLS OF COLORADO TRIUMPH
Distinguished Woman Leader from the
West Shows Great Work That Has
Been Done by Women Voters in
Making Colorado Better.
(From Fridays Daily

The Hon. Helen Ring Robinson, a
member of the state senate of Colorado
and one Of the most distinguished
women connected with the suffrage
cause in the United States, was the
guest of honor at notable gathering
of women at the Guild Hall this after
noon under the auspices of the Keno
sha County Equal Suffrage League.
The greeting to Senator Robinson
brought to the Guild Hall one of the
most representative gatherings of
women ever seen in Kenosha.
Covers were laid for one hundred
and twenty-eight guests and every
seat was taken. Many men who have
shown an interest in the suffrage
cause were guests at the luncheon.
Among the visitors from other cities
were Mrs. H. M. Holton of Milwau-
kee former secretary Of the Wiscon-
sin Suffrage Association. The calls for
places at the luncheon were far be-
yond what could be supplied and the
women Of Kenosha showed the greatest
interest in the visit of Senator Robin
son.
The distinguished leader of the
women of Colorado is decidedly
clever representative of the "Breezy
West" and her lecture to Kenosha
women today on the subject "Where
Suffrage has Come of Age" was filed
with interesting facts in regard to
what women have done for Colorado.
Miss Harriet Balm president of the
league, presided at the dinner and in
troduced the speaker.
Senator Robinson said in part:
"Just as I was sitting down to this
hospitable board one of the gentlemen
to my right said to me, you III find
yourself very much at home here to-
day, we're all suffragists together
