MORE ON THE ROAD BOND ISSUE

Editor Pilot; Please allow me space
in the columns of your paper to give
expression to few thoughts on the
road question. / noticed in the corre-
the writer said among other things that
the farmer from Maple Grove who
wrote in opposition to the bond issue
would be the right kind for chairman,
Well, | for one, will second that mo-
ton" And l want to say that l be-
lieye the farmers in every town in this
county should make this road bond
question the leading issue in the spring
election and insist that any man who
runs for chairman declare himself on
this issue. The vote at the special
election showed clearly that the farm
ers are against bonding the county to
build concrete roads. Then it follows
that the proper thing for the farmers
in every town to do is to elect for
chairman man who does not support
the proposition of issuing bonds,
We can rest assured that the ques-
ton will come up again. The farmers
won out in the first round of the bat
tie, that's all. But it cannot be sub
mitted to a vote of the people again
only by resolution adopted by the
county board. Therefore each and ev-
cry town should elect as chairman next
spring only a man who stands opposed
to the bond issue and who will vote in
the county board against resolution
to have the matter submitted again to
vote of the people. There is no sense
in having a town that voted about 3 to
against the bond issue re-electing a
chairman who supported the bond is
sue in the last campaign.
The big fellows of Manitowoc and
Two Rivers will not lie down yet; nei-
ther will the automobile manufactur-
ers, nor those who handle cement,
crushed stone, road machinery, and SO
on.
| am told that the Association of
Commerce of Manitowoc, that great,
wonderful institution, will engineer a
movement to bring the question again
before the county board and use its
best efforts to get the board to pass a
resolution to have the question re-sub
mitted at another election. If that be
true, and l believe it is, you can see,
my friends, how important it is that
we pick for chairmen men who do not
support the bond issue. Vigilance is
the price of liberty. We must be alert
and not be caught mapping. The best
stroke farmers can make is to elect
men next spring to represent them on
the county board who can be depended
upon to vote against reSubmission of
the issue to another vote of the people
And before closing | might say that
| think the great and wonderful Asso-
citation of Commerce of Manitowoc
whose secretary was once upon a time
consul to Dublin, could find other
matters to tend to besides trying to
soak the farmers to the tune of mil
lions of dollars to build concrete roads
for the millonaire's son. Last week
oats was SO cents at Maribel and S5
cents at ManitowOc. Now, why is
that? Wouldn't it be better for the
great Association of Commerce to tao
kle the market question and keep its
nose out of the country roads.

BOWLING MEET ENDS

After month of continuous bowl
ing the state tournament held in this
city came to an end this week. The
teams rolling the last few days were
mostly locals and no scores worth men
tioning were marked up, The tourna-
ment was great success, Visitors
who came to town for more amouse-
ment that mere bowling seemed to for
get that the white ribbon has been
nailed to the mast securely since they
last participated in a state tournament
and they indulged in some grumbling
about the lack of entertainment.
The bowlers were as a class a fine
lot of men whom Manitowoc would be
glad to entertain again. The few who
were looking for diversion of the kind
permitted in other recent convention
cities in Wisconsin that need not be
named could easily have learned be-
fore coming here that that there was
nothing doing.
The leaders in the tournament were
as follows:
