The Willmar Tribune:
The Golden Rod Farmers Club met
last evening having been postponed
from the previous Friday on account
of the storm. A very nice program was
given by the school children.
A discussion took places on the Bah
cock road system in which some County
officials and others higher up received
some strong criticism. The idea of
building system of highways and then
having the people vote on whether they
want the system or not does not seem to
appeal very strong to the rustic mind
with the consent of the governed" is
phrase from the American Constitu-
ton that apparently is forgotten by
public servants of the present day. The
Club serves a useful purpose in the COM
munity when public questions are dis
cussed by the farmers.
