Lost Hand in SiIo.

Louis SIeyster who lives south
of Dalton happened to a painful
accident last Friday. While as
sisting in filing a silo on the
farm of Geo. Bucksath, he got
his hand in the shreddlng
machine with the result the
hand was lacerated to the wrist
joint. 1t was necessary to have
his hand, the right one, ampu-
tated. Louis was somewhat
crippled before this accident and
the loss of his hand is therefore
the more distressing.

We did not get the figures on the
sixty million dollar hard surface road
amendment number six ready for pub
lication this week but will sure have
the showing made by the actuaries
and others in the next ISSUE How
ever, we can say this, misleading
statements have been made regard
ing the amendment by advocates of
the project; that all the taxable prop
erty in the state stands good for the
bonds; that it will require much more
han the tax on automobiles to meet
the expenditures proposed within the
time limit; that the average income
from auto licenses will likely reach
an average of two millions and half
dollars annually in the next ten years,
without any increase in the license
fees; that if the five millions so accu-
mulated together with the interest
thereon should be appropriated every
two years to hard surfacing roads
the amount contributed by the gov
ernment when it is in condition to do
so added to this, the benefit to the
state would be infinitely greater than
can be derived from the operatioRo OF
the 9th amendment scheme and the
number of miles of road hard surfac.
ed be nearly as great in the same
elngth of time.
The fact that 80 miles of oiled roaC
can be built for the cost of one mills
of hard surfaced road and the oileC
road maintained for one-ffth of the
cost of maintaining hard surfaced
road, has lead many to advocate the
oiling plan on which to apply auto
license funds. The further fact thai
the hard surfaced roads over certain
parts of the state are the worst roads
in the state, especially if built OF
what is known as the water bounC
plan, and that maintainance cost il
so great, argues strongly for getting
more roads improved with the sam'
money even tho not of the hard sur
face sort. But we will give figure
next week without fail and advocates
and opponents may work on us boil
ways, since we have bben that way

the wisdom of John L. Sullivan
