Editor Capital Journal: I have been requested by the Marion County Market Roads committee to reply to a letter from Royal 0. Con iit that was printed in your columns Saturday, which letter asked a number of questions and cast certain in sinuations at the Committee and Judge Bushey. "The answer to Mr. tomtit's first I -i iMe!lon would bp the same m the Hiiewer to the conundrum, "Why in lutistem ly eggn?" They dou'L There are 28 men on the Marlon futility Market Koada com i"tie. They 'were chosen at mass meeting held In he (irntid Opera limine on Febru ary 15, 1M. it which 400 cltlJens were present from alt over (he, coun ty. The meeting wag widely adver ting! in the public preii and each member of the committee was named and selected from the floor by his own market road section. Of these 28 men, four will be on paved roads provided (or by the bonding ine.vnre, three will be on gravel roads, and 81" live off of the pro posed 1T.0 Allies of Improved roads, either in town or on the Pacific ! highway. " the total amount subscribed to carry the market roads campaign In Marion county haa been $2230.50 and there are 781 subscribers to the fund, cotiBlHtlng of road boosters 4i i 'i i 4 f 5 Try A Cup Of i 1 ;.s I I I I I t 1 t next time you feel coffee disagrees. No loss of pleasure but a great gain in health if you are sus ceptible to harm from coffee. "There's a Reason" from every part of the county. They will get their money back ten-fold by saving it on their tire bill, if?.s bill, repair bill and car depreciation bill; also through general develop ment of the county that la bound to closely follow the construction of hard surfaced rond. "Judge llnshey, who wna for many years opposed to bonds, formulated the 'half cash, half bonda' plan that la to build 150 miles of improved roads In Marlon county within rive years, after he learned that the state law would not permit the voting of a direct tax by the people at the coming special election. To wait for another election would endanger Marlon county's chances of procur ing slate and federal aid for post roads, which is to be apportioned this year among counties that vole bonds. Covering the post road "pro gram that is to be mapped out by stale and government officials this year, there will be available over $12,000,000 of the state and fed inl moneys combined. Marion county has several of the most feasi ble postjroad projects in the state and Judge llushey it anxious to get aid to build them as soon as possible. To carry out Judge Tiushey'a plan of improving 150 mile of roads In five years, four paving plants and other expensive equipment will have to be purchased by the county. With out (he bonds, a special county road tax would have to be voted each year, and some years the tax might carry and other years fall to g Im Then the plants would have to lie Idle during much of the paving soa iuim. and owing to the extra over head expense, it would be Impossi ble to get half the roads with halt the money. "Mr. tondit's conjectnre that' the market road bonda would he dis counted i per reut, at a loss to the county of 112.500. Is absurd. In the first place, the law provides the bonds can not he sold under par; In the second place, experience and fact are against him. Yesterday's papers showed both liberty 3 V4 bonds and victory 4i bonds selling at over 100 per cent, and the road bon.V recently sold iby the state highway commission were In keen demand at around 4.6 per cent Interest. Marion county' market road bonds, drawing 54 per cent! Interest, will sell at a premium In stead of a discount, and will pro bably all he bought by citisens of the county, thereby keeping all the Interest tt home. In this connect-! Ion It should he known that Judge lliinhey'a plaa permits the sale of the bonds in at small denominations as $50, to that home folks with small savings may get a share of them. "Mr. tondit's statement that the life of a paved road It only 20 years Is not supported by experience With proper care, a well paved road may last for centuries. II It all a matter of upkeep, and the cos of upkeep Of a paved read la far lcs than thai of an unpaved one. MRS. MAY GOULD NOT WORK Made Well and Strong by Lydia E. Pinkham' Veg . e table Compound. Columbia. Pa. "I was tery weak and run down and had dragging-down pains and pains In my back. 1 could not get around to do my work and had to ait down and rest often during theday. llH' ' 'Jilllilll !S . t -jlf I aaw Lydia E.Pink ham'l Vegetable Compound adver tised in the papers and read the testi monials, sol thought I would try it Now lam healthier than I ever was in my life, and can recommend it to any woman who iuffera as I did." -Mrs. Elizabeth May, R.F.D. No. 1, Columbia. Pa. The reason Lydia E. Pinkham'a Vege table Compound ia to successful in over coming woman's ilia ia because it con tain the tonic, strengthening properliet of good old fashioned root and herbs, which act on the female organism. Women from all part of the country are continual !y test i fy ing to its strength ening, curative influence, and the letters which we are constantly publishing from women in every section of tliit country f rovt beyond question the merit of this a moot root and herb medicine. "Mr, tondlt'a plan of taklg all the county's road uirtnry that it re ceives from all source, for the com ing six years, and building the 150 miles of Improved roads with It without the bonds, sounds all very fine and plausible, and would be a good plan If that were all the roads in Marlon county; but Judge Bush el's plan It a better one, for the reason that It takes Into considera tion the fact that Marion county has 1200 miles of country roads, be sides the 150 miles of market roads, that miiKt be cared for, and he ha; announced that each of the rt road districts of the county is going to get back each year the four mills of road tax that It pays Into the coun ty funds, regardless of whether they are included In the 150-mile program or not. Not only would It be wrong to ignore the 1300 miles of side road? for five or six years, but It would be illegal, since the law ex pressly provides that at leaot TO per cent ot the road fund paid by each road district must be spent within that district. The market rod committee agree with Mr. tondtt that the Fierce lull should pts-v. and in the campaign has treated this bill at a companion, measure to the. county bonds bill, and equally meritorious. "Coming down to brass tacks. It will take all the money in sight, from all available sources. Including the bonds, to build, the proposed 150 miles of roads within five years, and to keep up the 1200 miles of other roads within the county; and as tke Interest on the bonds as sold by In stallments will be only $50,000 for the first four years, by voting the bonds the county will have Just ex actly $800,000 more to spend for ro&da during the coming five years than it would have if the bonds were voted down. And without that $S00,000, and the state and federal aid that it may bring, the entire pav ing plan of Mil Hon county will fall to the ground, and the available funds be spent from year to year as heretofore. In filling mud holes and spreading gravel that on the main traveled roads, where auto traffic I heavy, disappears almost as fast as laid down. "It Is significant, and doubtless prophetic ot the great majority that is to be given the road bonds next Tuesday, that in the entire cam paign, Mr. Condit'a letter is the only one that has been written for the press in adverse criticism of Judge Bushey's plan. "In conclusion it should be borne in mind by the voters that the last legislature. In returning one-fourth of the auto tax to the counties, pro vided that such fund should be used and disbused preferentially 'for the payment and retirement of any bonds that may. have been issued or which may hereafter be issued by the county for the purpose of road construction and Improvement,1 and that such fund alone will pay oft all the Interest and morej than one fourth cl the entire county bo I J la sue. That section wat put in the law with the express purpose of en abling counties to finance their road bond iwiiies as far as possible with out the burden of direct taxation. JAMES 8. STEWART, "Campaign manager Marlon Coun tv Market Koads." ally acquainted with Willurd myself and was in his cornier when ho won from Al Williams at Kcno, Nevada, July 4, Having seen Dontpsoy box and being in the boxing game myself fur 12 vcurs I think 1 have n good line on both men. The weight that Willard will carry is going to bo agai:.st him in this contest. He will wci gh about 238 pouiuU, while Deinpscy tips the scales at 196. Willard will have to go through a hard grind to e;et into shupe for tins eontest while Dempsey can take it easy and will put weignt on instead ol raiting II on. Willard Is getting a little old for the ring fights. He is about 38 years old. There hns been considerable talk of hts age, his height is 6 feet inches and he has a reach of 83 Va inches. He was norm in Pottawatomie county, Kansas. Dempsey 's age is 24, he is 0 feet 1!4 inches in height and has a reach of 78'j inches. Dempsey is a good boxer, he is fast and hits quick und hits with ter rific force. He always fights shifting on the Stanley Kctchel order and is hard to hit with any effect. Jim Fiynn put Dcmpsev out in 1917 at Salt Luke City but Dempsey reversed the decision one year later by putting Flynn out in one round. May 14, 191.1, Fulton boxed Willard and chiinis to have put him on the canvas in this exhibition, neverthe less Willard is not fighting Fulton now, he is going to fight Jack Dempsey, a boy who put Fulton away in 81 seconds, one of the shortest heavy weight con tents ever stuged. Willard will meet with the same accident if he does not he a rcful and when Jack hits he sure puts the Mary Ann on them for ten seconds and sometimes they sleep overtime. I mil we mtlmily, but Dempsey win ning tliix fight. He has youth, strength and for punishment he is a demon and I OpeaFoim t ; WILLARD DEMPSY FIGHT Just at present an interest is being tnkea in the Willard and Dempsey box in contest, which is to take place at Toledo. Ohio, July 4th. Many snorting writers are picking this bird Willard to win over Jack Dempsey and a number of sporting writer aad fight fast have iilaeed him a two to one favorite that I J cm will eat Dempe. Just how they fienre it that way I eaanot understand Thev teem to think that WUtard't weight and height will win for him. Tier seem to frgt abtfHt Dcmpsev "t SMecu at:i lHxn.g skill.. Evhtg ergt!a- game to the core. Willard it not, Ot. never wns a clever boxer. Ho is slow and misses mnny blows, although he it cool and cautious in the ring. He ia al ways trying for a right hand upper cut, but I think he will find Jack many inches away when he starts them. Both Willard and Dempsey have clean records in the ring regnrifin fouls, em--cept when Willard lost on a foul to Lous Fink in 10 rounds, Feb. 15, 1911. This may happen to any fighter. Will ard lias engaged in 31 battle losing a 12 round decision to Tom McMahoii, March 27, 1914, at Yoiingstown, Ohio, and 20 round decision to Guuboat Smith, and then won the championship by defeat ing Jack J i 'lu son at Havana, Cuba, April 5, 1913, 2fl rounds. Dempsey hat engaged in 35 battles including such men as Terry Keller, Carl Morris, Gun bout Smith, Billy Mink and Tommy Bcily and many other good fighters, not saying anything of preliminary bouts he hits beaten all of those men tioned and has won 23 by krockouts in the first round. Regardless the fact that Willard is champion today if he lust the 12 rounds with Dempsey I will for One be great ly surprised. Willard win or lose, will receive about $75,000 in this contest and Dempsey is after the championship, so let ns all hope it will be a good fight and those who pav to see it will be satisfied out that great memorial day, the 4th of July.
