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.

"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. 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.

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

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.
