WILL TRY THIRD TIME FOR SUBSIDY

Indiana Northwestern Traction 00. Will Ask For Less Than at Two Former Elections, Possibly the third time is the charm. President Roberts and his coworkers on the Indiana Northwestern Traction Co.’s projected railroad, hope it is, for they havo started petitions circulating for the third election in Jordan and Carpenter townships, for tax assistance "in the construction of their projected railroad. This time the tax will he asked on a smaller per cent of aid than the former elections were held for. In Jordan township the request will he for 1 per cent, instead of 1% per cent, while in Carpenter it wiU be for 1% per cent instead of 2. In Marion township, where the subsidy carried so easily a 2 per cent tax was voted. The Republican believes that Mr. Roberts and those associated with him will build this road and that our friends in Carpenter and Jordan townships should support it this time. Of course, they will get tired of having to be called out every two or three months to vote on the same proposition, but the railroad people have been assured by many who opposed the proposition before that they will support it at the levy asked in the present petitions. If the subsidies are voted it is quite sure than construction work will begin at once. <
