What Created the Demand for Roads

Back in 1912, 24,578 motor vehicles
were licensed in Wisconsin. The es-
innate for the end of this year is S92,-
$50, an increase of 1857 in a 10
year period. In 1912 there were .24.-
900 motor vehicles crying for good
roads because bad roads were causing
the owners heavy loss. Today there
are 100000 motor vehicles crying for
good roads. 1t is the motor vehicle
the automobile, the truck and the bus
which has been demanding h e
roads, and in equity and justice, they
should pay a larger per cent of the
road bill. Today they are only paying
1919. They have created the expense
and in all fairness they should help
to foot the bill to larger degree.

POLITICAL LEADER DEAD


News is received here of the passing
away Of Hon. Archie NJ. Stevenson at
his home in Denver, Colorado Mr..
Stevenson will be remembered by the
older residents of this section. He
was born at Newton, residing here
until young manhood. He took up the
profession of the law, later going
west to Denver where he became noted
as one of the Republican leaders of
that state, attaining national promin-
ence. For many years he represented
Colorado in national Republican con-
ventions.
IF Archie Stevenson had devoted
the same time to his law that he gave
to politics, state and national ne would
have been at the head of his profess
sion and doubtless won thru to a place
on the supreme court of the United
States because of his great talents and
profound learning and splendid re-
sourcefulness," is the tribute. of one
friend who knew him well.
