NEW REPUBLIC OATH
FOR ARMY OFFICERS
Social Democrats in Breslau
Demand Such Action.
By tAs Associated Press.

BERLIN, Sept (delayed) The So

adopted a resolution which has been
introduced in the National Assembly by
Vice-President Loebe demanding that
all army officers Immediately take the
oath to the new republican constitution
and urging that those who refuse be dis
missed from the army.
Another resolution introduced In the
National Assembly calls upon the Gov
eminent to get rid OF Gustav Noske,
Minister of Defence, who, II is said, "is
evidently unable to stem the tide of mill
tary reaction" The appointment of a
'comrade capable of ending the military
counter revolution is demanded. There
is also a protest before the National AS
sembly against the retention of the law
providing for arrests during a period
of martial law. This is taken as an
other indication that Herr Noske's re-
gime is unpopular with the Government
and the Socialists.
Among the scattering protests ema-
mating from various majority Socialist
quarters in Berlin Is one from the Fed
Grafton of Labor denouncing the rigid
enforcement OF martial law because II
prevents the distribution of pamphlets
and circulars, which was tolerated under
the old regime. The trade unionist COM

ROAD IMPROVEMENT

There Is not much possibility OF

ers, the officials of the Commercial
club, three county officers, w. o.

spection of the inter-county roads OF

said that they had money to build
about 100 miles of road this year, and
that they would probably try to pave

Liberty Power Company
Rate Is Authorized

The Liberty Light. Heat & Power
company, which supplies power to
towns around Richmond, and to may
rural communities, has been author
ICED to charge consumers rates of 10
cents per kilowatt hour for domestic
service and cents per ". H for
power, by a ruling of the State Public
Service commission made public Fri

The company is granted the right
to make minimum monthly charge
of $3.50 for domestic service per Gus
toner for two or more on the same
transformer. and $500 per customer
where only one customer is served
One dollar per horse, power is the
minimum monthly charge for power
service, and all lines more than 100
feet from a high voltage line to the
consumers house are to be paid for
by the consumer.
Robert Ashe, president of the COM
pany, said that these rates had been
in force for several years, and the
only purpose of getting them author
lied by the commission was that they
might be put into effect when services

When Did F farmers
Of Wayne County
Form a Society?

The Richmond Horticultural asso-
citation was a real Wayne county pio-
neer movement For it was formed in
1853, three wears before the state
association was formed, and it is be-
lieved that the state association was
modelled upon the Richmond society
At the first meeting, on December
4, 1858, Daniel Downing was appoint
ed chairman and ]. H. Hutton, secre-
tary. At the next meeting, ]. H. Hut
ton was elected permanent president
and John ]. Conley first vice presi-
dent. Among the early members were
John Lancaster, William R. Smith, J.
c. Ratliff, w. L. Taylor, Sylvester
Johnson, Cornelius Ratliff, j. r. Sid
dali, George Tiff, w. S. Reid, Benja-
min Hill, D. P Holloway, J. M. Bulla,
besides many others.
The objects of the association
were given as mutual improvement
and education of the people in agri-
culture, and the meetings were de-
voted to the discussion of leading
questions affecting the growing of
fruits. The work OF the society and
the merit of the members soon brought
Richmond into notice as a center of

coming down; legislators are apprehensive Of the
attitude of the people when they discover their
$780, 900 will not pay for 4,800 miles of roads
This is the situation in nutshell But we
believe it is small compliment to the intelligence
of the voters to assume that they do not know
that prices have gone up that they do not realize
that building programs must conform to the new
state of affairs, and that they will be willing to
accept in lieu of 5000 miles of good roads 1890
miles of bad ones.
1.-THE people of the state want roads, but good
roads not highways which in a-few years will
crumble away, setting the state back in the mud
and wasting the money they have appropriated.
A cheap road is no road, and no one understands
this better than the man who continually uses it.
Bad roads mean huge repair bills, and it is to
avoid this very thing that automobiles are
standing the cost of the program.
''The roads should be made of the best mater
als and laid by efficient workmen. We could
forgive the misapplication of funds, conceivably,
but not the construction of highways in so hap
hazard fashion that in few years we would be
back in the same old rut.
Let Illinois roads be good ones. Prices are
up It's no good trying to avoid fact with make
shifts. The people understand that prices are up
and are not going to lay the blame of high prices

ways is not merely for temporary relief but for
all time. poor start is worse than nothing.
