Arcadia Should Invite Industry

In looking about we find many towns
hot so'large as Arcadia where there
are various thriving Industrial enter'
prises. There are no reasons why such
enterprises should not prosper here
aud 1t Is to the interest of the town to
induce such to locate here.
We need not expect anyone who Il
looking for a location for a modern
garage, Ice factory, bottlmg works OF
other industrial enterprise TO locate
here unless we. assist them In finding
the kind Of building site suitable TO-
their needs, Another drawback Is tina
whenever one comes here prospecting
usually the price on lots that woul
lbe suitable are boosted to such a de
gree as to discourage the prospect.
We are not alive to our best inter
ests and theinterest Of the town IL W
allow to locate elsewhere, any ont
who has capital which he would inyes
in Arcadia property and establish som
kind Of business where labor would b
employed, and thus increase the popult
ton Of the town and put more none
In circulation here. II We have to o
fer some kind Of inducement to get ne
! industries located here--then let's

One Of the things which Is retarding
the growth Of Arcadia more than any
thing else just now is the lack Of resi-
dences. Many homeseekers have had
their eyes upon Arcadia for sometime
and would settle here If they could
procure homes.
There seems to be a tendency to
hesitate to erect new homes shown by
those who are In position to invest In
town property. We feel sure that
tenants or purchasers could be foun'
for Is homes here, if the houses were
available.

TAX Rate Bill.

The tax rate bill, senate bill No. rs,
provides that the tax rate or state tax
shall be IS cents on 500 Of taxable
property in the state. AS the total as.
sessment is increased it provides that
the tax rate be reduced proportionate-
ly. The present rate, or the rate
which has been in effect for the past
two years is the same as provided in
this bill.
1t is predicted that this reform in
