HIGHPOINTSOFFESSADDRESS • The follow ing are the high points as taken from the address o f Senator S. D. Fess, who delivered .he keynote speech at. the opening o f the Republican National convention in Kansas City, Tuesday. Coolidge—Few are his words, decisive his judgments. His com­ prehension of problems is broad, h is vision clear, and his action daunt­ less. H e leaves office by his own flat, which appears to be final. Under that (Republican) leadership we have reached the highest wage scale known in history, a principle which is maintained as sound economically. Today we are in the longest period o f .sustained busi­ ness prosperity in our history. This administration has enacted constructive and remedial legisla­ tion o f no less than 24 pieces covering every phase o f the agricultural problem. The purpose in further aid is ta avoid the government taking over from the farmer his oWn control Of the great industry but to assist him in that control. o It (law enforcement) is not a question o f tolerance or o f liberty, but o f life, ,both national and individual. The Republican party is ready to call the roll oft this false doctrine masquerading under the mask o f liberty. It is ready to sound the moral tocsin against the present campaign o f A noise-making minority whether in the interest o f business profit or mere human indulgence.

Yet after all this these parties have the effrontery to ask the County Commissioners to grant them another by road at the expense to the County o f,a t least $250,000. A read that is absolutely not a necessity to the com­ munity. A road that borders this International Development Go., fo r all but a short distance o f its course. A road that if allowed, will deplete the County Treasury so much, that ether parts o f the County will suffer fo r the next ten years* Are the tax payer* in the other townships o f the County going to sit idly by arid allow this waste o f money to go on?

While on this subject, we believe It wculd be a good plan fo r the County to send some appraiser* over and tax these lots at something near what they are selling at. This Would give Bath township some money to fix roads already built. The tax-;payers 6 f the County are vitally interested In this road scheme. Yoti should make your interest ie lt .
