The Musical Howl

The New York Sun attacks the flood
! control bill charging that it is ''pork-bar-
rel" measure in the interest of southern
| nd owners in Fl ur states. 1t claims that
uthern senators are behind the measure
and that they are Indifferent to the gigantic
raid on the treasury because they know
that 95 per cent of the taxes are paid in tie
the north.
1t is remarkable that Newspaper pub
lished in the midst of set of blood-sucking
leeches like those that infest New York
should raise an issue of this kind. Until
democratic administration passed laws thu
to some extent restrained their operations
these leeches had the other sections of the
country at their mercy. Every business,
not only paid tribute to satisfy the greed of
New York's financial crooks, but it was in
addition subject to ruin at the will of their
band Of human sharks. No wonder that
they are now enraged that the democratic
Representatives in Congress have curtailed
their power and reduced their profits.
To hear these devils howl is music to
the ear of every honest man, and the more
they howl the greater is the confidence re-
posed in our representatives. In in the
language Ct Sam Jones the 'hit" dog bowls,
and the howl is much more enjoyable when
we know that it is the eggsucking cur that
gets the brick.

Location of Roads

"The location of roads to be i'm
proved should not be determined by
argument but upon sound engineering
and economic principles. Before COM
munity votes to issue bonds for perma-
nent highways it is necessary to under
stand thoroughly what roads are to be
improved and the approximate cost of
their construction and maintenance.
Too frequently ill-advised locations are
adopted and loss follows"
From the foregoing pertinent remarks
appearing in the Crowley Signal it is evident
that the people are beginning to think on
the subject of bodybuilding.
Heretofore the individual has been
afraid to speak out in meeting where roads
o. schools were up for consideration. The
fec that every citizen appreciated good
roads and good schools has afforded many
opportunities to put over expensive and i'm
practicable projects.
No one would oppose the scheme for
fear Of being daubed moss-back or a
kicker. But it now seems probable that
the necessity for such work and its cost will
be taken into consideration. The road and
school enthusiasm will hold up for some
time yet for the reason that the bond pay
ments are slow to mature, but after a few
experiences we think there will be more
conservative sentiment on the subject.

one hole in which to hide. No squirrel

lay by enough nuts for two winters in
stead of one, and no dog ever lost any
sleep over the fact that he did not have
enough bones laid aside for his declining
years

WILSON'S 8-HOUR DAY PLEA WILL BECOME

than eight hours day." said Walsh.

sion of society as whole. The wis
