ton Names Committee to Push
Million Dollar Bond Issue.

Rock Island Rotarians today
passed a resolution pledging as
sistance in getting out vote in
favor of the 81 ,o00, 900 road bond is
sue. and appointed the good roads
committee, of which A. F. Sala is
chairman to promote the project.
BY contributing their automo-
biles to bring voters to the polls
April II, and by supporting he
good roads proposition in talks
with their aequaintances and
friends, the rotarians will cooper
ate.
William Z. Whiteside, president
Of the Rock Island County Good
Roads association, explained the
bond issue in detail, and enumerat-
ed the advantages which would &C
crue to Rock Island and the entire
county if the voters carry the
proposition
1t might be years. he said. be-
fore another opportunity would
present itself to pulling Rock Is
land county out of the mud" Now
is the time, he affirmed, to put the
project over. 1T means in dollars
and cents" he said, about 50 would
be added to every SGT paid in taxes
by tax payers, an average of about
20 cents on every 500 of assessed
valuation.
Last week eggs retailed for 10
cents dozen in Davenport because
the farmers had good roads over
which to drive to iowa In Moline.
the price was IS cents dozen, be-
cause of the condition of Rock Is
land county roads.
I'VE are losing the money which
tourists leave behind them, because
our roads are in such frightful
condition that everys guide book
warns autoists to keep out OF Rock
Island county"
He predicted that the bond issue
would prevail by two to one vote
in the country, with the possible
exception of Cordoya and Yuma
townships. yuma township, how
ever, would get the benefit, he said
of one of the 100000 900 bond is
sue hard roads, which would ira
verse it. There was opposition to
the project in Drury township, lie
said, because Muscatine business
men are assuming the road I'M
provement expense in order to get
the farmers to drive to Muscatine
and trade.
Mr. Whiteside asked every Rotar-
ian to be a missionary for the bond
issue proposal.
Annual election of officers would
be held next Tuesday, and Arthur
B. Duvon. Samuel Burgess, and
Willard A. Schaeffer will devote
10 minutes each to a consideration

DID FRANKLIN K. LANE KNOW?

The thing | find that hangs over all
presidents and other public men
here in Washington to terrify them is
the fear Of bad times.
These people undoubtedly have the
power to bring on panics whenever
they want to and to depress business
and they will exercise that power as
against any administration that does
not play their game.
The Money Power, as we used to
call it, allows the president and con
gress a certain scope-a field within
which it may move. But if it goes out
side that field and follows policies or
demands measures which interfere with
the game as played by the. high finan-
ciers, they do not hesitate to use their
big stick, which is the threat of bust
ness depression. From the Letters of
