The crusade for road bonds was
inaugurated out at Pleasant Prairie
or Tuesday evening when A. R. Hirst,
chief engineer of the Wisconsin high
way commission, talked to a small
gathering of voters Of that town and
this evening the doctrine of "Good
Roads" by the bond issue method will
be carried to the voters of the town
of Somers at a meeting to be held az
the town hall of that town. The in
terest shown by the Pleasant Prairie
people was little discouraging to the
men who have worked with view of
getting the work on the Sheridan Road
and other roads completed this year.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
even though the numbers were small
and it showed that there are a lot of
people who have failed to understand
the proposition for issuing the bonds.
Engineer Hirst went into the provi-
sions of the state law in regard to
bonds at considerable length, review
ing the address which he recently made
before the members of the Kenosha
Automobile club in Kenosha. At the
opening of the meeting number of
the voters had been actively opposed
to the proposed bond issue, but at the
conclusion of the meeting they had
bee soI Cd ana itad declared their
willingness to do some missionary
work to secure the passage of the bond
issue. Both Pleasant Prairie and Somers
will vote on the bonds on May 9th
and active work is being done by the
good roads boosters in both towns.
The Kenosha Automobile club has
gone on record as being wiling to
raise the money which will be neces-
sary to pay the interest on all bonds
issued to provide for the completion
of the Sheridan Road so far as the
town bonds are concerned. The club
has not agreed to pay interest ON other
bonds to be issued. 1t is probable that
before the question is submitted to the
voters week from Saturday that the
automobile club will have furnished
the towns with a signed agreement to
keep it's share of the bargain.
Engineer Hirst is not seeking to adj
wise the people of the two towns as
to what they should do in regard to
the bonds, but his work is solely along
the line of giving the people the best
possible information in regard to
methods to be followed in connection
with the issue Of the bonds and
the provision that must be made for
the payment of them.
Tt is expected that there will be
much larger attendance at the meeting
to be held at Somers this evening and
plans are being made to have this
meeting attended by people from both
Of the towns.
It is taken for granted that if the
towns vote to issue the bonds the
members Of the county board will
stand by the "straw vote" taken
some time ago and give their sanction
to the issue of bonds in the name of
the county. All plans being worked
out provide for the raising Of the
money so that the work on the roads
may be completed or at least we'll
under way before the end of the pres
ent road building season.

GETTING READY FOR AREAl FIGHT.

4 gathering of a couple OF hundred
more prominent democrats at Waterloo
seems to have concluded that Meredith
shall be the party candidate for gov
ernor Marsh desires to continue COM
mitteeman and this was in full accord
with the ideas of the 200 leaders. Thus
the Iowa democracy may be assumed
to have settled on Wilson, Meredith
and Marsh as the bright guiding stars
OF The next campaign.
1t is the best frame work the
democracy Of this state has ever
erected. If the republicans assist in
putting flesh on the skeleton by IN
wise nominations the democrats have
the best chance in this state since
Horace Boies Wilson hasn't a look
in at the Iowa electoral vote-unless
republicans nominate at Chicago
candidate representative OF reaction.
Even then il IS probable that Iowa
would refuse her electors. As regards
the gcvernorship Meredilhs hope of
election depends entirely on the noni-
nation that shall De made by the re-
pub.!cans. Given a nominee who

vantage themselves upon possible re-

rion IS that republicans should be

that nominations for high office should

and realize the beauty and Joy Of the
gift for themselvesf
The other day father In Iowa who
had retired from active participation
in his business, gathered his children
about him and gave each farm.
Wisely he kept plenty for himself and
his short future. But he had the SUI
preme happiness of giving, saw with
his own eyes and partnered in a great
happiness. He gained while he gave.
And from that is born a suggestion
that the wealthy who devise large
sums to charity and to the hope of hu-
man happiness do lose much for them
selves in not seeing and partnering in
the good their requests are intended to
bring about. 1t would. it seems, be a
happy and comforting thing to see
their money working as they desire Il
to work. before they die: to pass IL
brary and reading room knowing that
it is because of him, to catch the sound
of children at play on a playground
that he made possible. to see hope drive
desperation out of comfortless home
armed with weapons he put into the
hands of human charity-these seem
the due of those who give in altruism.
General Dodge has added to the sum
Of happiness of his city and his old
His is splendid gift. Per-
haps he missed years of deep satisfac-
ton and pure enjoyment for himself

ROAD cRANks OUTCOME.

4 convention Of farmers in Hardin
county has out-herroded Herrod in the
matter OF road improvement by its vote
recommending that Its county board
complete the grading and crawling CT
their county road system as fast as
the work can be done regardless of
funds on hand and that all deficiencies
in revenues be bonded.
The most that the so-called road
cranks have asked is that the legisla-
rure make bonding a regular thing by
referendum vote of the people of n
township, a district or a county in
stead of All irregular thing as the law
now makes it: q remedial method of
refunding an overdraft. However, in
the absence Of laws like nearly every
other state has the only way IN which
10 proceed and travel on gravel before
the present generation of men is dead
is to do as the Hardin county board
has been urged TO do.
Gravel in an agricultural county like
Hardin will serve the needs Of traye!
very well for several Years to come. As
auto traffic increases it will be found
that gravel Will ravel near the mar
ket center towns where travel concen-
trates on one road from many other
roads and the single track pavement
will replace gravei In time. but for
the present gravel fulfills the road en-
gineer's requirement for hard sur
face in a county with no large cities
and no trunk lines of tourist travel.
Under the Hardin county plan it will
require from three TO five years to put
all the county roads to permanent
grade and surface them with gravel.
During this time part OF the expense
will be met from current funds. Only
the excess need be bonded. A $4,000
road divided into twenty annual pay
ments Will call for $3.50 per annum per
mile for the principal On the partial
payment plan the full amount will
draw less interest every year and av-
erage half the full interest or s6s aver
age annual interest per mile and main
tenance Of graveled surface viii cost
from 800 to $3.50 per annum so that
the fixed charge on the twenty pay
ment plan will De from $500 to $3.50 per
annum for a mile Of $4,000 road with
the cost Of grading included
Most estimates on the bonding plan
have heretofore been made without in
Guiding grading on the theory that the
grading will have been done from cur
rent revenues before any bonds are
Issued for surfacing. II the entire coun-
~ road system were bonded for gravel
IL would require only $685. per an
mum TO meet the fixed charge for prin-
cipal, average interest and mainten-
ance and Hardin's county road funds
will reach that figure before the work
can De done. However. current funds
will pay for some Of it SO the board
can safely estimate more than enough
money in sight without increasing
taxes TO pay for the whole job on the
twenty payment bond plan. When the
bonds are paid off Hardin's county
roads will all have been cut to perma-
nent grade forever and will have been
kept we'll graveled during all the time
the bonds have run. Then her people
can proceed to pave. When they do
pave the gravel will be pushed to each
side Of a nine foot paved center with
which to make hard surface for turn
outs.
