100000 Bond Issue.

Scott county, IN Iowa, retained
its place in the progressive ranks
Saturday, when the good roads

HOO votes.
The majority on the 100000
bond issue in Davenport was 1888.
and in the country precincts outside
the city 81.
Although several precincts, both
in the city and outside, showed a
deplorable lack Of the proper spirit.
the final returns showed that Scott
county is due TO pull herself out of
the mud in which she has been wal
loving.
Both questions in connection
with the good reads movement car
ried by CON o-,a able majorities. The
first, whicl vas Shall the Board OF
supervisors he authorized to pro-
>Isseed with the Lard suTfacing OF the
primary road system of Scott Coun-
ty?" carried with a slightly larger
majority than the second, which
was:
Shall the board OF supervisors
be authorized to issue bonds from
year to year, in the aggregate
amount not exceeding two million
$4,000, 0O0) dollars, for the purpose
of providing the funds for hard
surfacing the primary roads OF the
county, and to levy g tax on all
property in the county from year TO
year, not exceeding six go mills IN
an yone year, for the payment OF
the principal and interest of said
bonds, provided, however, that the
annual aIlotments to the county OF
the primary road fund shall be
used to retire said bonds as they
mature, and only such portion Of
said tax shall be levied from year
to year as may be necessary % to
pay the interest annually, and C2J
to meet any deficiency, if any, be
tween the amount of the principal
of the bonds and the said allOt-

benefited property provided by
iaw?" -
Upper Wards Strong.
As was expected. the upper wards
of Davenport showed by their re-
turns a large majority in favor OF
both questions
The lower wards were only luke
warm. yet in some precincts the
voters lined up almost solidly in
favor of the progressive movement
Considerable agitation for the
movement, and an eleventh hour
whirlTind campaign, had its desir-
ed effect
The vote was not heavy, nor was
it unusually light 1t was a good,
medium vote. The ballots tOtaled
6,096.
Work to Start Soon.
It is hoped that the work will be
actually started on the hard sur
facing of the primary roads of Scott
county within q short time. Just
how long it will take to get all the
details IN shape it is hard to con-
lecture
The program includes Is miles of
roads in Scott county to be hard
surfaced This is more than a sea-

Published Saturday.

II the wage scale controversy
between the union street railway
trainmen and the Tri-City Railway
company must go to an arbitration

J. T. Bauers, president OF Division

answer the open letter 10 - n-
ployes which the company publish
ed Saturday.
1.-The working conditions part OF
the contract have practically all
been satisfactorily arranged" Mr..
Bauers said. THE chief issue
which remains is the matter of
wages and arbitration. The COM
pany has proposed to give US an
increase for the next two months
of AZ, A and As cents, should it re-
ceive the right to charge 6 cents
fare and 46, 48 and so cents, should
1t receive the right to charge a Z
cent fare. II no increase is grant
ed, the company will make no in
crease, the men to work at the
present scale of SO, 80 and 40 cents.
They guarantee US this wage
for the two months but after that
what? They refuse at the end of
two months to grant us the right to
arbitrate with them If they get an
increase in fare. They claim it is
not question of their willingness
to pay increases, but their ability
to pay them. II this is 50, why
does the company hesitate to go be-
fore fair arbitration board. which
would not fix an increase greater
than the company can pay?
The company speaks of its good
faith and the public. If it were
not for the good faith of the men
during the war, what would have
happened? The men were faithful,
remained on the job. They could
have gone elsewhere and received
high war wages. They worked
hours almost beyond human endur-
ance.
The public will agree that we
are entitled to higher wages if the
company gets an increased fare.
The letter sent out by the company
to the men was uncalled for, mas
much as the men had been inform
ed through their organization what
had taken place and had already
taken their stand in support of the
demands the division is making. "

WASHINGTON, July 2 With
the beginning today of weeks receS
of congress, it seemed assured that
senate opponents OF the league OF ma
tions would abandon any plan for a
formal senate declaration on the sub
ject before the fight for actual ratiti-
cation Of the treaty begins.
Until the recess plan was suggested.
il had been the apparent purpose OF
opposition leaders 70 make an effort
as soon as the appropriation bills
were passed TO bring some senate ac-
ton in advance of presentation OF the
treaty. For this purpose. it was said,
