Farmer Wants Better Roads
Suggests Plan for Meeting

Mr.. Voter and Farmer:
Don't forget next Tuesday. March
the 4th is Township Election day.
Come out every man that uses Hand
county roads and tell your wants and
give your ideas. Tell your township
board what you want them to do in
vour township, and where, and II
your board will not do 1t, now is the
time to put in men that will. Fix
these main roads first, the mud holes
next. and grade that high level road
last. Let us have our township board
and as many more that are interested
appoint some Saturday afternoon and
get together in Miller in meeting form
and work together. Township A meet
township B with their road, b 10 meet
c and so on. Put in the road that
will do the most good to all and finish
that road. Vote your road levy high
enough that your board can do some
thing, then raise your wages UP
where you can afford to take your
teams out and fill that mud hole in
front of your house or help your
ncighbor fiji that bad place down at
the other corner. ! believe every
farmer receives more value for every
dollar road tax than any other tax
which he pays.
AS a rule a few men go to the
Township Election and elect a few
old friends TO help on such and such
a road and then you that stayed al
home kick and growl and pillow mud
all summer. In this road business
you and | have a vote and a say.
Lets all come out and get together
on election day.
A Voter and Land Owner.

Resolution Passed Opposing
Federal Control Of Education

Brookings, 8. d., Feb. 25.-The q
Guilty OF the South Dakota State Col
lege has adopted resolutions favoring
the defeat of the U. S. Senate Bill 1887
which would create a federal depart
ment Of education and provide funds
for its conduct, because this particu-
lar bill will empower the federal de-
partment OF education to dictate to
the states a policy for public schools
and to fix the details Of the policy.
The State college faculty advocates
the direction and control of thu x
penditures by local authorities, N
that the auditing. of accounts by state
officers should supply the evidence Of
the proper expenditure of the funds.
The faculty is opposed to n legisla-
ton tending TO weaken or interfere
with. the Initiative or control OF edu-
cation on the part of state and local
authorities.
