CROWDS CAPITOL
URGE ROAD BONDS.
BIG GATHERING OF FARMERS
AND BUSINESSMEN DE-
MANDS ACTION ON
i. PROPOSALS.

A big demonstration, virtually a
good roads rally. at a public hear
ing in state capitol Friday night be-
fore public highways committees of
the senate and house, showed how
opposition has been rragnified and
went far to pave the way for fav-
orable action on state highway bond
legislation, according to reports
from st. Paul. -
Scores of farmers and business
men from all parts Of the state,
who paid their own expenses or
drew them from legal organizations
which they represented, took ad-
vantage OF an opportunity, they
said, to finally put the Minnesota
good roads movement ."over the
top. Philosophical citizens identi-
fed with the Good Roads Amend
ment No. l campaign in almost
every locality, Joined forces at the
capitol to do their, bit toward insur-
ing the biggest success of the high
way program.
Charles M. Babcock, state high
way commissioner, outlined the bond
plan. He received a great. ovation.
The commissioners statement and
his prompt answer to every possible
objection raised won an almost un-
animous "vote of confidence.
The large gathering. went on re-
cord decisively in favor of the high
way Bond program when Commits
sioner Babcock presented the pro-
positions:
"Do you want to GO ahead or
let other states beat you to it? We
can go on without adding cent to
taxes. Over so per cent of the
trunk highway system is improved.
Do you want to quit now"
Farmers responding to newspaper
announcements that the public would
be heard on the bond proposals for
recognition from the chairman that
they might testify how the highway
program is building up all. the roads,
The. commissioner had made It
clear that the Minnesota plan is
one of the first to improve and
maintain the farm-to-market roads.
He: showed how all county and pro-
posed state bonds with interest can
be paid outTin full in twenty years
and made to give the use of more
good roads every year under the
bond plan. f.f.'s -
The opposition was voiced mainly
by farmer-banker from district
in which the roads have been ex-
tensively improved by the use of
about $500, 900 of trunk highway
funds. One member of the legis-
lature indicated that he might offer
his objections later, and few asked
questions that showed they either
lacked information or were mislead
on the bond plan. This diversion
famed up the enthusiasm of the
hundreds of good roads advocates
that packed the house chamber ano
galleries and adjoining halls.
Commissioner Babcock gave posi-
tive assurance that the bond plar
will mean the biggest success from
the highway program. He showed
how the local roads are being bull
rapidly and local taxes are decreas
ing and how provision for larger
working capital now will mean the
most effective and prompt results OF
the state highways. He referred tx

FARMERS MEETING
VERY SUGGEST I'LL.
FARMERS CLUB AND COOPER
ALIVE CREAMERY MAT
TIERS TALKED OVER.

Fifteen of the farmers of this
vicinity met at the Community Cen.
ter Sunday afternoon and talked
over the matter of the establish.
ment of a cooperative creamery.
Another meeting has been called for
April 9Th when it is expected some
thing more definite will result. In
the meantime the farmers will dis
cuss among themselves the advls-
ability of the establishment of the
creamery. 1t is also an assured
fact that Farmers Club embrac-
ing all the farmers of this section
will be organized for mutual benefit
as it is felt that through such an
organization much more can be ac-
conplished than is at present being
done for the benefit of the tillers
of the soil. :.
The meeting was called at the in
stigation of DR.. j. E. Thompson,
city. veterinarian, who is trying in
every way to better the milk sup
DIV of the city in the interests of
the general health of the city. In
this move he is being backed up by
the Board of Health and the City
Council. DIR. Thompson told the
assembled farmers how they COULD
improve their milk and their market
and is strongly in favor of the
creamery proposition. Leonard Sla-
bodnik of the First State Bank, was
also present and discussed methods
of financing such an institution.
The general opinion of those pres
emit seemed to be that with a Farm
er's Club and Cooperative Cream
cry organizations effected this could
successfully be put over. In view
of the fact that the herds are be-
ing improved in this section, the
organization looks like sure and
good move.
It was also the opinion of those
present that a farmers market
should be established in Ely where
