Local Comment

AT last. after ten years Of agitation,
Marshall county is going to have
some paved roads. A contract for the
FIRST six miles has actually been let

Lincoln highway, but there is new
money available now. The fedora
government Will pay S7ls per cent
Our automobile money. which now
| amounts to 100000 per aunum will
pay S7ia per cant and 25 per cent
VIII DO assessed to the land nearly
which is to be especially benefited
Nobody else will pay any property
tax for these roads, but We will all
use the roads. II these roads had
been paved five years ago and TWEEN
- year bonds issued then. we would
have had two and n half miles OF
pavement for the present price of one
mile, and we would have had them
to use all these years. The tax money
which we have been putting into in
terminable grading and planking OF
mud holes could have been applied
on the bonds, but we didn't build
them then so we must pay the price
now.
When We get some paved roads In
this county we viii want more and
we will have more. When the people

Tying an election for state bonus OF

put into paved roads single counties
voted county bond issues of $1,000
600 for more paved roads. and a sec
ond state issue for s15,00o,o0o was
carried easily two TO one. When TINS
money had been spent everybody
wanted his road paved and state
bond issue for s40.000.o00 was then
carried seven to one.

very much of the same mind all over
the country. When costs come down
to rock bottom, and money gets easy

county should pave Its sixty miles OF

Z. Peart. secretary of the Marshall

SPALDING CONCERT

The largest audience of the Topeka
concert series greeted Albert Spalding
at the auditorium last evening and
stayed until they had coaxed every
possible encore out of his wonderful
violin. Mr.. Spalding played, simply,
dignifiedly. beautifully. There was
something vigorous about his playing
and yet It was exquisite and finished.
TO say that one number was better
than another would only be express
ing individual taste. tho perhaps the
Scottish Fantasy" by Bruch and La
Campanella" eby Paganini were re-
ceived with the most complimentary
hush. Spaldlng played as the old
masters must have played and it was
easy to imagine him enthralling any
one he chose with his music He had
no annoying rannerisms and seems to
be hundred per cent young Ameri-
can.
Special mention should be made of
Mr.. Andre Benoist who accompanied
Mr.. Spalding. Mr.. Henry Dotterweich
says he is the best accompanies he
ever heard. Mr.. Benoist has been Mr..
Spalding's accompanied for thirteen
years. During Mr.. Spalding's army
career he vast with Heifetz. The vio-
linist played several of his own COM
positions. G. P. W.
