THOUGHTS OF READERS
THE ROAD QUESTION

To the Editor of The Democrat: Be-
fore we decide to bond Iowa County for
such a sum of money for road construc-
tion as has been proposed, let US ask
ourselves these questions
1 Does the past history of so called
"improved' road construction and
maintainence in Iowa county warrant
the issuance of bonds for further con-
struction and maintainence under the
same inefficient management?
2 What per cent of this money will
be spent in honest, permanent road
construction and what per cent will
find it's way into the the pockets OF the
grafters who are usually on the job in
such construction projects?
3 Will it be fair to compel Mr. Brown
who lives 10 miles from concrete road
to pay an equal share of the $4,000 a
mile cost, with Mr. Gray, whose property
adjoins such road?
4 Should the concrete roads be laid
on the trunk highways, at present our
best roads, thus forming a system of
sleedways for tourists and joyriders, or
should they be scattered throughout the
county where the really impossible
stretches Of roads exist during wet
times, thus enabling the commodities OF
life to be moved to markets at times
when otherwise it would be impossible
to transport same?
5 Is the plan of hauling mine tailings
as ''surface" for our dirt roads, any
thing but a waste of funds in view of
the fact that after severe rainstorm
such material will be found in the gut
ters, Is this idea anything other than a
SOP to those who failed to secure a
higher type of road?
6 Since macadam roads have broken
down everywhere, when subjected to
fast motor traffic, why should we spend
thousands of dollars in Iowa county to
construct such roads. FARMER BILL.

HUNT FOR might RIDERS"

Raids Near La Crosse-PoIice
Still Hunting for CIews-
Residents Armed.

La Crosse, Dec. 2.-Search for the
mysterious night riders, supposed L.
". w. gangsters guilty Of depredations
in the vicinity of Holmen, IL miles
north of here, was abandoned tempo
rarily because Of the heavy snowfall
AND the sudden drop in temperature,
which made tracking through the
swamps impossible. The authorities
were completely at sea as to the mys-
terry, No tangible evidence has been
collected beyond the fayed cat, the
crucltled rabbit and the turning loose
OF valuable stock. The police have
even suggested that it may be the work
of some demented person, but no evil
dence to that end has been discov-
cred. Peter Vanderlaan, hired man
at the farm owned by e. Kleinsmith,
visited by the raiders during the week,
on Sunday told the police that on
Wednesday Of last week stranger,
well dressed and claiming to be de-
tective, accosted him and asked direc-
tions. He went to the Black river
through the sWamps and said he had
three men waiting for him there. Van
derlaan claims that he saw the man
later in the week in Holmen and that
then he was wearing a growth OF
whiskers and had an I. w. w. badge
on his coat. The police are Investigate
ing the story. In the meanwhile resi-
dents near Holmen have not relaxed
their vigilance and loaded guns are
being kept within easy reach. 1t is
possible that the raiders, becoming
alarmed by the reports, have fled the
country.
