There seems to be some misunder-
standing in the minds of many people
in Paw Paw township in regard to the
"Road Amendments" which will be
up for a decision at the hands of
voters at the coming election. The
big question of course is the so-caled
Fifty Million Dollar" amendment.
This is a measure, which if approved
by majority of the voters of Michi-
gan, will enable the legislature, with
the approval of the governor to pass
a law bonding the state for any sum
not exceeding fifty million dollars for
the building of good roads in this
state. If Michigan is to get the bene-
fit of Federal appropriations for re-
building, it must be in a position
appropriate an equal amount. The
amendment would give the legislature
that authority, and it is thought t."
the probable sum to be raised each
year would be about five million
dollars. This is a state measure to
be voted in every county in the state.
Then there is local measure that
seeks to bond the township of Paw
Paw in the sum of $4,000 for the
construction of a cement pavement
from Gremps street on Main, west to
the corporation limits. Nov
question has been raised DIFF the fifty
million dollar amendment carries, and
Paw Paw should be on one of the
main trunk lines to be constructed by
the state, would it be necessary
Paw Paw township to raise money to
construct this stretch of village pave
ment? In other words would not
this piece of pavement from Gremps
street to the village limits, which in
all probability would be included in
the main trunk line across the state,
be constructed and paid for at state
and federal expense? The True
Northerner has been unable to get
a definite decision on this point.
Opinions from well posted men have

the polls to vote Eyes" ON April 7th.
There are many people who are at
heart opposed to the sale of liquor in
any form as beverage, and would
vote "No" on the proposition should
they go to the polls; but these same
voters, many of them are Indifferent
for the reason that they believe their
vote will not be needed to defeat the
measure. This apathy might result
in an overwhelming victory for the
"Wet Forces" of the state, and a re-
turn Of the saloon to every village
and hamlet in Michigan. 1t behooves
then every voter who would keep the
saloon from Paw Paw, from Van
Buren, county and from the entire
state, to be at the polls to cast vote.
A casual reading of the amendment
does not reveal the real viciousnss of
the measure. For instance as pointed
out by the Kalamazoo Gazette in
recent issue:-"It wipes out in one
sweep all local option and prohibition
restrictions and throws down practi-
cally every bar that has been raised
by years of labor against the booze
traffic" 1t makes possible the setting
up of unlicensed unfegulated saloons
on every corner of every city, town
hamlet and crossroad in the state"
Further, no city or village could
impose regulations upon whatever
Saloons might be set up, for the legis-
lature only may pass laws upon such
point and its laws must be general
applying to the whole state. The city
or village could not collect any license
fee, regulate closing hours, or number
of saloons, define the districts in
which they should operate, or put into
force any of the checks which were
maintained before prohibition went
into effect" 1.-THE trouble is the
amendment implies more than is
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1919-03-21

apparent on a casual reading. There
are people who have been in the hal.
of using liquor (whiskey) occasionally
especially in case of sickness, who
have been dissatisfied with the law
which has made it practically impos-
sible to get it. Some of this class
might on first thought vote for thii
measure on general principles without
giving it a serious thought. II is the
effect of the proposed measure in
every section of the state, that should
commend a careful, thoughtful study
of it, before voting to let down the
bars again and undo what has
done during all these years along the
line of prohibitive measures.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1919-03-21

been expressed on both sides of this
question, but we are of the opinion that
this stretch Of village road would not
be included in state and federal CON
|struction, if the state measure-is
passed; that villages would then as
in the past have to look after the con-
struction of its own streets. But,
even if we should be mistaken in this
presumption, and find that future
road construction by state and nation
should be made to include village
streets, then in all probability some
provision would be made for
to municipalities for streets already
constructed according to specifications
The point is this:-This stretch of
road should be constructed just as
soon as possible. 1t is a was
money to attempt to keep it in repair
any longer. There is no assurance
that it would be built by the state in
ten years if at all. In the opinion O.
the True Northerner, the bonding
question should carry and the
ment built regardless Of the possibili-
ties of the big question.

The local school board will soon
meet to consider the question of teach
ers for the ensuing year. Supt. Hayes
contract runs for another year, which
| is fortunate for the school and its
patrons, for his place in the schools
could not be filled at his present
salary. The balance of the faculty
however are working on one year
contracts, and it will be the question
Of salary with which the members of
the school b, ard will have to deal at
the coming meeting. IT is a matter
OF common knowledge and understand
ing throughout the state, that teach
ers as class, receive the smallest
salaries for the nature and amount of
work done of any class of employees.
Paw Paw never has had a more sue
cessful school than during the past
year. 1t would be poor business
judgment to let matter of few
extra dollars for a teacher stand in
the way of renewal of contract. A
poor inexperienced teacher is a mighty
poor investment at any price, and it
behooves the school board to consider
the question carefully and look to the
Importance Of the future for the be-
and girls of to-day, before they let
real teacher go because she feels that
she must have more salary, and re.
place her with an unknown inexperi-
enced teacher who might prove dis
astrous and expensive experiment.

HELPS YOU TO OWN A HOME
War Savings and Thrift Stamps Alb.
sorb the Small Sums That Are
CareIessIy Wasted and
Add to Bank Roll.

It's a good thing, on general prin-
ciples, to own ones own home, and it's
going to be a better thing steadily,
from now on. The home idea, rapidly
spreading over the country, represents
one of the finest possibilities ever open
to the nation. For the man who owns
his own home is no longer a national,
an economic "floater;" he is a solid
and substantial citizen who has taken
firm root.
When this firm root is strongly ma
tionalistic in tendency, when it runs
clear down to the foundations of ma
tional and civic substance, so much
the better. Therefore, the man who
saves for his own home through gov
eminent investments approximates
better citizenship through enjoyment
of a genuine "stake in the country"
His ''firm root" like that of healthy,
well-nourished tree, will enable him to
weather all reasonable storm and
stress.
Not every man who decides to own
his own home finds it possible to build
or buy on the instant. The majority
of men, indeed, must save steadily, for
some time, before the home-owning
dream is possible of realization Large
numbers of American men and women
for this reason welcomed the advent
of War Savings stamps with discrimi-
mating gladness, buy them as regularly
as payday comes round.
Thrift stamps, for similar reason,
are popular with thoughtful house
holders and housekeepers. They alb
sorb and put to good use the small
sums that else might be carelessly
wasted, they build up War Savings
stamps without effort, more rapidly
than might be expected. And a War
Savings stamp, simple as it seems, is a
valuable asset, a rapidly maturing in
come-bearing, nontaxable, nondepreci-
able, mountaineering government secur-
ity of high grade and character For
homecoming purposes the War Saw
ings stamp is an ideal investment. In
five years from date of purchase it
comes to maturity, and it may be re-
deemed at face value at any desired
time.

WORK, SAVE, SUCCEED wv. S. ST.
VIRGIN ISLANDS SET EXAMPLE.

Uncle SANS newest possession, the
Virgin Islands, has taken most rapidly
to American ideals, according to infor-
nation received by the Savings Di-
vision OF the Treasury Department.
The small population of the islands
consists largely of the foreign-born,
yet nearly $500 worth of War Saw
ings stamps has been sold there this
year, the per capita purchases COM
pairing most favorably with those of
any of the states of the Union.
The purchases for the islands up
to the end of August this year aver
aged S17.25 for each square mile of
the territory purchased from Den
mark in 1916. The sales of the stamps
were made through the post Offices of
the islands.

BUY w. S. S. NOW, TO BUY HOME
LATER.

Probably there is no one in the state
of Wisconsin who has not felt the
pressure of the need of a home. In
many cases the pressure this spring
has been so decided that many per-
sons have found it difficult to find a
place to live in, and, because there
was no place to rent available, have
paid a small amount down and pur-
chased a home on the inStallment
plan.
In many cases, too, this first pay.
ment has been one difficult to make.
Because the man has slid along Easy
street for so long on q small salary
and no savings that when the time
came to make sacrifice he just
wasn't there"
The advent of Thrift and War Saw
ings stamps has made the habit of
saving an easy one to form. These
War Savings stamps mature In nve
years and the man who this spring
was unable to purchase home can in
five years make a very substantial
sfirst payment" If he has invested his
small savings in Thrift and War Saw
ings stamps. the latter of which draw
a good interest.
Buy War savings stamps now, and
buy home later It's good slogan.
How about it?

MAKE GOOD EARLY, TIP TO BOY
Work, Save and Invest in w. S. S., but
Don't Be Stingy, Wisconsin
Advice to Youth.

"The boy of today is the citizen of
tomorrow That expression has been
used so often that it almost loses it's
proper effect.
But the children of today are begin
ming to realize that the boy of today is
a real factor in city and country life,
and that he must begin to make good"
early, so that when he does come to
manhood he will occupy a real place
in his community.
The good office boy will become
good business man; the boy who can
tinker over his bike or help fix up his
dads automobile will likely become
a good mechanic-and the boy who
saves his pennies, nickels and dimes
and finally converts them into Thrift
and War Savings stamps is the boy
who in later years will shave money
in the bank" to start into the business
world, and eventually to s'back" his
own business. And all because as a
small boy he learned how to save his
money, though, it should be hoped,
without the necessity of being stingy.
The stingy boy is as much disliked by
the other "kids' as is the man who
"has his first-earned nicked planted in
the back yard"
Every boy should learn his duty to
his parents as one of the proper things
of life. He can establish himself on
a regular business basis with his moth
er and his friends If he will divide his
earnings into three equal parts: One
for mother; one for Thrift stamps, and
one for his own spending money. This
should be- fixed rule, whether his
earnings be three cents, thirty cents or
thirty dollars. When his friends know
that Bobby Jones has just SO much to
spend and no more, they are very like
Iy to copy his methods, with the result
that very soon the whole gang" will
be doing just what Bobby Jones does.

WORK DURING VACATION
TO INCREASE SAVINGS
Wisconsin w. S. S. Leaders Point
Out How Little Girl Can Earn
Money After School Closes.

With the summer vacation period
to be Industrious may pile up her
Thrift and War Savings stamps until
they really amount to "some" money.
There is no doubt but she has helped
mother" during the winter months,
and accumulated her little savings, but
now, with the long summer days COM
ing on there is an opportunity to help
the neighbors-run errands, ride the
baby around the block, dust and make
beds, etc. There are many neighbOrs,
too, who will be glad to pay for the
services of a little girl for an hour
each day.
In this way the little girl who has
set her heart on desk for her room,
a hammock, a lawn swing, eventu-
ally can realize her ambition to buy,
cher very own SELF" the thing she
wanted. If she begins by saving her
nickels and dimes for thrift stamps,
it will be only short time when she
has saved enough to buy what she
wants.
Of course the little girl must put
her ambition high enough to realize in
the five years that the War Savings
stamps need to mature, when it is
likely her fancy may have changed for
something a bit more expensive, and
when that point is attained, she may
still be undecided and keep on with
her savings, indefinitely.
The saving habit, if properly fos-
tered, gets to be an interesting game,
and habit which, when once start
cd will he continued

Assemblyman Joseph Steinberg, who
is running for reelection on the Re-
publican ticket in the 10Th District,
which embraces the so-called silk
stocking district of New York, is kept
busy these days answering the charge
that he is a Russian and Bolshevik
No one sponsors the charge. but it
has gained such circulation that some
Republicans in the district who man
ifestly did not follow their Assembly
mans record in Albany are giving it
credit
Stelnberg was born ON his fathers
farm at Sea Girt, N. j., and the only
time he was out of the Republican
party was when he followed Colonel
Roosevelt with hundreds of thousands
Of others in 1912.
Steinberg's opponents are Murray
Taylor, Democrat, son Of a prominent
lawyer, and Louis Lichschein, Socialist.
Some Of the most prominent men
and women in the district are on q
committee backing Steinberg for re-
election, together with Aldermen Bruce
M; Falconer. The appeal they sign
calls attention to the Citizens Unions
