The Electric Proposition From a Farmer's Standpoint.

■f V Marion, Ind., Dec. 23, 1910. The Rensselaer Republican: As one of your subscribers and a land owner in your county, I am very glad to see that the unofficial vote for the interurban subsidy ij favorable. He*e in Grant county, where we have four systems, the farmers whose lands they cross regard f hem with so much favor that the rigat-of-wa' - is generally donated, as *ue interurban passing a farm adds just five dollars an acre to the average farm. As the projected road through Jasper county passes through it the long way, It will be a great convenience and advantage to every farmer along its route and will add several dollars to the value of every acre of land for two miles on each aide. Every townr ship it crosses should vote solid for the tax; it will be money In every farmer’s pocket. WM. THOM.
