Mr. law, of Evening Star Grange, Powell Valley, was present and gave a brief add re«» on a few of tlie measure« to he voted upon at the coming etection. He has represented his State in tlie Legislature several terms and his re mark» showed careful n-tv-arch and a grasp of tlie political situation of tlie State, at the same time he takes a very conservative stand upon all questions. Regarding ths >6,000,000 Bond Issue lie stated that lie waa not fully committed to its opposition, although he did not like tlie manner in which the bill was drawn nor the intere»t« which were backing it; that it was a fact that the people of the State would be obliged to take a g<xxl ileal that they did not want in order to get what they did want— good road». He also referred to tlie bill calling for an appropriation to build a new Htate Penitentiary, which he con- (•»»led was badly needed, aa lie was in a [xsrition to »late, having been Superin tendent of that institution for several years. One clause of this bill he ob- jected to very strenuously, vis: that a site lie procured in the same county a» occupied by the present building. As a matter of fact Mr, Lee contended that desirable aitee were few and that un doubtedly right across the river in Polk county, just a» easy of access to the State House, letter sites could be ob tained for from seventy-five to one-hun dred thousand dollars less, and why should tlie taxpayer» of the State pay that difference when nothing would lie gained in so doing.
