Years ago an old gentleman, then

he had taken his degree. which he did
with the highest honors, he called with
an Introductory note on that somewhat
formidable person, Doctor WhateIy,
later archbishop of Dublin, and Doc

said: 4 have heard. Mr.. P, that you

are no farms in this country on which
fine specimens of butterflies are
raised, according to those Interested

1t has been many years since Mara
thon county has experienced such a
dry spell as it has passed through this
fall. Grasses have been burned to a
crisp and the woodlands throughout
the county. s Especially during the
past two weeks did the country here

tied down on the city like a dense fog

prevent fires. It only required the
dropping of lighted match or light

PASSAGE OF EDUCATIONAL
AMENDMENT WOULD MEAN
INSIGNIFICANT TAX RAISE
Benefit To State Offsets Small Increase
in Mil Levy. Say Campaign
Leaders

The passage of the educational
amendment will cause an immediate in
crease in taxes of not more than 80
cents on each thousand dollars Of val
uation.
The balance of the l mill provided
by the measure will furnish sufficient
funds for the educational institutions
for years to come and will not be levi
ed until actually needed.
These are answers to questions aris-
ing in the minds of taxpayers when
they consider the amendment from the
standpoint of taxes. They are taken
from statistics compiled and made pub
lie today by the State Educational
Publicity bureau. The figures are
based upon reports from the seven
state-supported institutions of higher
learning.
This immediate increase in taxes, 1t
is pointed out, is no more than the
price of half pound of candy. two
ice cream sodas or two tickets to the
movies. The amount to be levied i'm
mediately is insignificant, leaders of
the movement say, when compared to
the benefits the youth of the state
and the people at large will derive
from the provisions of the amendment.
The leaders of the campaign declare
in their opinion, the average taxpay-
er will be discriminating enough to see
the desirability of this measure apd

Mr. Todd admits will experiment in

if the experiments do not prove a sue

to pay the expense. Ii goes without
saying that ia tne meanwhile Townley

theirs. They are not overlooking that
part of the program in North Dakota

Circus Parade Stopped by City Offic-

Spectacle of the Year.

Probably no one thing ever happen
ed in the history of our city that hurt
its standing with the surrounding ter
ritory so much as the stopping of the
circus parade last Saturday. People
from many miles away had driven to
town and brought the children just to
see the sight and had waited in the
streets for several hours with no
warning whatever until long past the
time when the parade should have
financially able to take the children
to the circus and the little folks were

The rapid growth OF these institu-

Vote for Good Roads Bonds

Colorado, with her reputation as the
playground of the nation and the con
sequent heavy tourist traffic every
summer, more than any other state in
the union, should make a special ef-
fort to improve and expand her system
of roads. Every dollar expended for
roads will bring q big return to the
state and her people, not to speak of
the advantages which accrue to the
farmer and the merchant from the
fact that good roads will enable them
to bring their products to market and
dispose Of their goods at a greatly re
duced expense.
For the purpose of enabling the
State Highway Department to take
full advantage OF the money appropri-
ated for good roads in this state and
of repaying the counties the moneys
withheld from them in the past for
road maintenance, the Twenty-Second
General Assembly decided to submit
for the approval of the voters So
900 900 bond issue. This issue will be
voted on at the election on November
End.
Every man and woman in the state
having the interests of good roads at
heart should vote for these bonds. The
cost to each taxpayer is so small as
to be hardly noticeable and the bene-
fits which will accrue to the state from
the money realized on them is so great
that no voter should hesitate to vote
in the affirmative. If the bonds are
rejected more than S1,000,000 given
the state by Congress- will be lost.

CITIZENS MEETINGS
Mass Meeting Tuesday Noon at Elks
Club Prepares for Effective
Work

TIE eiti. !. l.IoTC4.lLHt TO fight tbs.
attempt OF the non-partisan league to
set up new form of government in
Colorado has rapidly developed the
past week into IN effective working
organization to get out the voters on
next Tuesday and defeat the attempt
to transfer our seat of government to
Minnesota and at times to jails.
H. G. Lamson, who was chosen
chairman a week ago has held series
of meetings the past week and on
Tuesday called all interested to meet
for lunch and special business ses-
sion at the Elks club rooms. There
was a large turn out of citizens of all
parties and coming from all sections
of the county. The reports brought in
showed that fighting spirit has been
developed in all sections of the county,
even where heretofore it has been con-
sidered the league had it all its own
way, and a determined effort will be
made to carry the fight home to them
in every precinct. The meeting de-
cided to form working organization
on election day and assist in seeing
that all voters are registered and get
out TO vote 1t was decided TO do this
to offset the large force of highly
paid workers which the Townleyites
have organized with their S450,OOO
campaign fund, in desperate fight to
capture the staee of Colorado and turn
its treasury, industry, institutions and
credit into their big political corrup-
tion machine.
The interest that has been mani
tested in this work is evidenced by the
large attendance of voters at all the
meetings held all over the county the
past week by both the citizens com
mittee and the republican committee.
There have been crowded houses and
even the school house meetings have
been attended by many from far away
points. The meetings held by Senator
Agnes Riddle especially have been
popular with voters of all denomina
tions and both sexes. She is a force
full and interesting speaker and was
one of the original committee selected
by the non partisan league to intro
duce the organization into Colorado.
because she had always been an active
worker in the grange and all move
ments to benefit the farmer and create
increased interest in the industry
Everywhere she hes gone she has had
large audiences and held their interest
to the end Many went to the next
meeting place to hear her again.
