T wish t cr:vreml the action of the Voin!i:i?ioiiers in vett in.' the macadamized roads and the voting machines!. Xot but what I'm in favor of improrement. but I bel:c-5' i Viae !t t t- ci'-i vrere it belongs. Your article in the Republican on o ''-prt t?- T-ir'vr.s aIo read; now for the other side of the pies.tiou. A macadamized mad pat my fann "would increase the rate of taxation, increase the assessment a 1st, but would not add one particle to. the fertility of th?t farm wherewith to p:r additional taxes. You say it "vy(mll add to the vain per aero. well. Ves. if you want us to become land f. e 'a" "i -ril 1 1 -1 farmers. As Ion; as we lon't want to sell, it makes us no difference whether you cad nur lan.l worth $17y per acre or j?".! p?r acre (except in taxation). As it's the productiveness of the land from which we derive our income. That article tfhl of the dollars one farmer saved bv having trood roads to market his crops over. Pick up any farm paper, and if they advocate Ood roads on one side", the other de will tell you no', to sell any feed otl of the farm feed it, feed it. And if itV cattle your feeding, T guarantee them to walk to market om ?r a &o' read l)etter than over a stone road. Atrain. our roads in Marshall county are net bad. but what as a rule a 1200 lb. team can haul CO bushels of wheat or 100 bushels of oats to a load, or in fact all that they can walk into the elevators with, and hogs all that we can load on our wagons. Tenants do more hauling than owners, but they are secondary in taxpaying. If I wanted a new barn IM build it. If I "owned a train IM want rails to run it on, if I owned an autoI suppose IM apt ate good roads. Therefore I say let the state of Indiana place a tax of $ to $20 on autos according to weight; $20 per year on heavy freight machines, and t''at tax properlv applied would place all the main roads from town to town in 1 1 fhaie.v And under the present svstcn. of taxation the farmers could well oare for all the by-roads. A stone crusher or two in the onnty is worth considering, with all the road material there is at hand. Another question I would like to ask. If we register, what need of clerks at the polls T "Why. can't two men, one from each party, run an election if every voter is registered jnst as well as six men ran it without registering, thereby savins twothirds of the election expense? Yours truly, A. Taxpayer. ( THE MARSHALL CONSTITUTION The 3Iarshall constitution for Indiana has been given a hard blow -which it is hoped will prove a knockout blow, bv Circuit J mitre Kemster of Indianapolis. Judge TJemster is a staunch democrat, so " his decision cannot be aceused f being a artisan one. Tie is said to be a good lawyer and a rocl jndtre. He bases his decision on the constitution now in force and says that the proposed methoU of adopting a new constitution, as provided by an act of the last Assembly is unconstitutional and void. Judge ' Iiemster enjoins the state board of election commissioners and the secretary of state fron taking action necessary to submit tli new constitution to a vote of the people. Governor Marshall expresses himself as disappointed and he and his attorneys do not know whether they "will appeal the case to the supreme eonrt or -lot, , This is probably the end of an. attempt to have adopted a poorly considered ind one-man-made constitution" for a great state. - Under our form of government, constitutions are the most vital part of our laws, fcr upon them are based all the other laws that can l)e parsed. The people had nothing whatever to' say about wdiat was to go into the proposed new ' constitution. In this day the efforts a be being made in all states to" give the people more power, instead of trying to shear them of what power tliey have The, Marshall attempt to make a new constitution without' the ;?nd or consent" of . the people -will thus die, as it should die, and thep'ople will , themselves make t Tielr new eonsiuuuon. ; .Bourbon Fair. ' The Bourbor Fair will occur this year Oct. 3, 4, 5, G. Good racing he last' three days.

PLAY THEN WORK.

The great Home Coming and Fall Festival was a time of phty for , Plymouth and the county (excuse the remark, you members of the Commercial Club who have worked harder than you ever did be for-? to make the "play" a successful one) now we are coming to a time .. of real work. The Commercial Club have made the Home Coming a success beyond the dreams of half the city. Now they are to at once dive into other business of a different nature. On fufday began the sale of lots in the Plymouth Improvement Company's .addition. The'' special -a!t:. cn from . Chicago ar? ntw at werk. This sale cf lots is to create ami will create, a big factory fund for the good of the general city, and every citizen should do all he caata boost the proportion along. O:1.? l i r vt (.; deserves another. A big Home Coming deserves a big lot ! sale. Boost it. I THE HAIUHHE SIEEET 2 I 7ow that the Home Coming and I Festival is over, for this Year irt I I i i 1 - f least, it may not ne amiss to oner congratulations on the magnificent success which attended the efforts cf the Commercial Club. The affair, I should say, will do more to advertise Plymouth 'than any meho.l whicli could have, been' devised. Strangers in the city were simply astonished at the scope of the entcTtnin;r.ent provided for their de!c?tr.tion. There is absolutely nothing to be regretted in connection with the celebration; in fact the good results which ar? likely to accure will hndoubtedly give Plymouth a place among the larger cities to which it is most deervedIv entitled. One thing that struck the visitor, more forcTi.Ty, perhaps, than anything else, was the? enthusiasm which every citizen of the town infused into the celebration, and I think the remarks of Fred C. Palin, the "corn king j in the course of his nddr?s were most apropys. He reminded Ins listeners thai the merchants of Plymouth had nothing selfish in their efforts to promote to a successful issue, the Home Coming; in fact he said it was most ii til

invn.) ..in m.u.u nae i Vay o on Jackson street which had not any shortage in the-fceounts, and he(neen raove(1 out to tjle eurl) acconl.

remmaed tlie iarmers that it was their duty to help make up any deficiency, should there be one. , Tl:e citizens of the town were indefatigable in their efforts to make visitors enjoy every minute of their stay in the city, and that they succeeded is evident from the encomiums heard among the immense crowds which lined the streets on alj sides. Another feature which as been favorably commented upon was the absence of any crime during the three days of the celebrations; in fact not one case of a serious nature was reported to the police. Of drunkenness there was comparatively jione, and this, in itself, is a high compliment to the city. The attractions, III be bound to say, have seldom been surpassed in any city ten times the size of Plymouth. The Industrial parade would have done credit to many a big city. It went to show that the merchants and manufacturers had entered into the spirit of the occasion with much enthusiasm and a good deal of pleasure and pride. The aeroplane flights were I superb, and Plymouth is to be congratulated in witnessing three of th? best exhibitions in this line ever given in this or any other country. In fact there' was not one feature that was i;ediaere: thev were all high class and of an interesting order. I do not -know whether it is the intention of the Commercial Club to held a similar event in the future, but this I will say, that if the same energetic bodv of workers have again the management in hand, there need be no worry about the success of any such undertaking. No doubt, new, ideas nave been gained and as '.xpeVience tt aches, the next tvent of the kind should eclipse all their previous records. In the meantime, it is to be hoped that the advertising 'gained bv the city in this, the initial attempt at big things, will le followed by something tangible something that will lielp infuse new life and enterprise into Plymouth so that n will gain in popularity as an "ideal spot for the investment of much capital and ever fly. Here's success, to the Commercial Club! v W. W.
