ELECTION STRUGGLE I TAFT SAYS LEADERS
INTENSE IN GANADA "PLAYED POLITICS”
Ottawa, Ont.—Reixirfa coming In
from all parts of Canada show the
intensity of the election struggle now
under full headway, and reflect also
the position and progress of the va­
rious elem ents on the main Issue,
reciprocity between Canada and the
United States.
Reciprocity has continued the dom­
inant Issue since Premier Laurier and
Opposition Leader Borden made their
Initial addreaaes.
The grounds taken for and against
reciprocity are shown In the reports
coming from all sections. The tight
against reciprocity la made on both
economic and sentimental grounds.
The opposition speakers declare that
agriculture In the United States Is so
much better developed than It la In
Canada that the Canadian farmer will
be swamped by the arrival of food
products from the United States.
Hamilton, Mass.—Pres. Taft began
the presidential campaign of 1912 in
a speech that breathed defiance and
condemned the insurgent Republicans
and Democrats who combined to re­
vise several schedules of the present
tariff at the special session of Con
gress Just closed.
The president singled out Senator
La Follette, of W isconsin; Speaker
Clark and Chairman Underwood, of
the House way« and means commit­
tee, as leaders of the revision and
charged them with “playing politics.”
Mr. Taft indicated that he regarded
the proposed revision ae injurious and
dangerous to business, but made it
plain that if the tariff board in De­
cember reported In favor of downward
revision of the cotton and wool
schedules, he would recommend a re­
duction.
The president spoke before the Es

formal launching of the state cam­

Youth C onfesses Killing of Mother,
Father, Brother to Get Money.
Evansville, Ind.—The story of how
he crept Into ths room where his fa­
ther, Richard Lee, hla mother and
brother Clarence were sleeping and
slew them with an axe in order that
he might obtain money with which to
set up a home for the girl he was to
marry, came from the lips of William
Lee, a 31-year-old boy, here.
After maintaining a show of indif­
ference for two days yrAinfe Lee broke
down when confronted with damaging
evidence the authorities had collected
against him. He confessed to Sheriff
John J. Davis, going into details, and
declaring that after his parents were
dead he set Are to their bed. He then
ran from the house .and gave the
alarm, he said, to avert suspicion.
Than Present Unsatisfactory
Method of Constructing
County Roads
TO THE PEOPLE OF JACKSON
COUNTY:
it may be sujaerflous to advance
that what Jackson county, if not the
whole state, probably needs more
than* anything else is a system of
good roads that will reduce the cost
of transportation over it to a mini­
mum to say nothing of the satisfac­
tion of traveling over it if on pleas­
ure bent. This is a business propo­
sition that has presented itself to
every prosperous, wideawake com­
munity, and is one that must also
be solved by Jackson county. Its
solution at a future time would
mean financial loss of considerable
proportions to the people at large,
great inconveniences and would dog
the wheels of progress and success.
To establish roads that will ans­
wer every purpose, be permanent and
require little repair after they are
built, it is necessary to provide suf­
ficient means.
Therefore at the
sugestión of many of the taxpayers
of the county, the county court has
called a special election, to be held
September 30th, to decide whether
the people are in favor of bonding
the county in the sum of $1-500,004.
payable in twenty years, to pay for
suefc improvements.
It has been
computed bv experts in this line that
this sum of money is none too big’
to accomplish the purpose for which ♦
it is intended.

important counties of the state and

intention to issue these bonds at one
time. It would be entirely unneces­

the roads under the prooosed plan
would consume four or five years
and the bonds will be issued only as
the money is required. Hence they
will not draw interest until they
