THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17. 1914. FADS AND FANCIES OF THE MOTORIST The Tice Road Law Only Pro- vides for Small Part of the Funds From the Farm Lands. BENEFITS THE COUNTRY • "--^~"~"--' The State Highways Connect Im- portant Towns and Help the Men Whe Have Long Hauls With Farm Products. By the State Highway Commissioner. It is to be regretted that in some awtfonf of the state farmers object to the system of road improvement, as proVidod by the Tice road law. They aeem to be of the opinion that these roads are being improved for the spe- cial benefit of the auto owners, and that the cost will far exceed the bene- fit; that the bis burden of this tax, if it is a burden, will heavily rest upon the farm lands of this state. It seems to me a careful investiga- tion of the new road law and its ap- plication to the highways of Illinois, all citizens, especially the farmers, in an earnest advocacy of a state-wide system of read improvement. The roads to be improved have been se- lected by the board of supervisors, in counties under township organisation and by county commissioners in coun- ties not under township organisation. The state highway commission has ap- proved those mans with few excep- tions; usually where changes were made it was done to make proper con- nections wi^h the adjoining counties. After these maps are made, the local boards designate the place of begin- ning. Ninety per cent of the mem- bers of the boards of supervisors, and an equal proportion of the members of the county commissioners of this state, are farmers, and of course, should and no doubt do control and dictate the action of these boards. Thus the farmer names the road to be improved, and designates the place that this Improvement shall begin. The law comes to the fanner's assist- ance and says every foot of the state aid road must .be outside the limits of nny city, village or incorporated town Autos Psy Extra. Automobile owners have been taxed for the .privilege of operating their autos on the highways of this state. Every hundred thousand dollars of the money derived from this tax has been turned Into the state road fund, and in addition, $300,000 is taken from the general fund. This $300,000 is the onlT money that Is raised by direct lag and tuberculosis hospital and Oak Pores: institution were built.

National Geographical Society's War Primer Louvain--The capital of Belgium in the day before the rise of Brussels. Its population is about 50,000, and It is situated about fifteen miles north- east of "the present capital. With Tirlemont, St Trond, and Tongres, it furnishes the line for holding back the movement of an enemy across too territory between Brussels and Liege. Local tradition has It that Louvain was established as a permanent mili- tary camp by Julius Caesar. The ttt dSpelany opposition and unite ^e^iaoa peop** rose up against tlm nobles during the fourteenth century, but were put down after a struggle of twenty years. Thereafter the im- portance and prosperity of Louvain declined, and Brussels took Its place. It has one of the finest universities In Belgium, which prides Itself most on Its theological school. Llbau--A port of Russia, on the Baltic sea, a little less than fifty miles from the extreme northern part of northeast Prussia. It has a popula- tion of about 75,000. Troops march- ing from Menel, Prussia, could arrive by land without leaving their own ter- ritory more than fifty miles behind. It has railway connections with Mos- cow, Orel and Kharkov. There are numerous factories making gun pow- der, soap, machinery and tin plate. There are also large saw mills and flour mills. The exports are valued at about 125,000,000 a year.' North of the commercial harbor is -the naval stronghold, consisting of extensive fortifications, breakwaters and moles. These defenses were finished eight years ago. Diest--A town equidistant from Liege, Antwerp and Brussels, about | twenty-three miles from each, and a taxation, for road improvement. Tne farm lands pay less than thirty per cent of the state tax; therefore the $34,000,000 of land in this state pay less than $90,000 of the $300,000 raised by direct tax and yet every dollar of the $800,000 under the Tice law must be spent ki Improving the roads out- side of the limits of the cities, vil- lages and incorporated towns. Thus It Will be readily seen that the farm lands of Illinois pay less than one- third of one cent an acre into the state road fund of $1,100,000. Under the law the counties must raise a like Sum and of this sum the farm lands must psy their proportional share, which varies in the different counties. In proportion to the value of lands. In the, state the farmer's share of both the county and state fund does not exceed forty per cent of the whole. Hence of the $2,200,000, the farmers would pay on their lands $880,000, or little more than two and one-half cents per acre. Only Temporary Improvement. Under our present system $7,000,000 a year is spent on our roads and the work Is but of a temporary nature. Seven million dollars a year for twen- ty years under the Tice law will build a ten-foot concrete road on all the state aid roads, as today marked, and these roads when improved will carry eighty-five per cent of the traffic. little north of the air line between Liege and Antwerp. It Is one^of the five fortified places in Belgium, and has msny breweries. It protects both Brussels and Antwerp from military movements by way of Maastricht. Hasselt--The capital of Belgian Lim- burg, at the Junction of several lm- portent railroads. It has many brew- and by ramparts eight miles long. Part of the environs can ha placed wader water. The fortifications were built to serve as the rallying ground for the Belgian army In case it was over- powered In the field by a superior force. Nancy (Nong-see)--The capital of Muerthe-et Moselle, Prance, . on the main line of railroad between Paris sad Strassburg. Its population is given as 100.000. It is about ten miles from the German frontier, thirteen miles east of the stronghold of Tool, and thirty-five miles west of north of Epinal. Charles the Bold perished at its. gates. The city became Preach la 1766, was occupied by the allies in 1814 and 1816, and Put s» ransom by the Prussians. In 1870. which was paid* by France. Strassburg--Capital of Alsace-Lor- raine, Germany, two miles west of the Rhine, on the river SI* which divides here Into five branches. It Is twenty eight miles from the French frontier, and is ono of the strongest fortresses of the German Empire, having a circle of fourteen forts. The University of Strassburg was re founded as the Em- peror William's University in 1872, and its library has 800,000 volumes. The population Is upward of 150.000. Strassburg held out against the Oer- humane and scientific lines, and they far excelled any similar institutions In the country. Mr. Busse is married and lives wan his family at Mt. Pros- pect. 111.

The Increase of 29 per cent in the aggregate tax rate in Cook county under the present ad- ministration sounds like a Joke, con- sidering the party platform or the Democratic candidates In 1912 against high taxes and appropriations--that Is, It would sound like a Joke If It were not so expensive for the tax- payers. Not only has the state tax rate been raised from 38 to 70 cents-- the largest In the history of the state --but the county tax rate has been boosted to provide money for in- creased expenditures for practically all departments. Compare this with the administration of the hut Repub- lican board of county commissioners, which was economical and efficient, note the contrast with the present .wasteful expenditures., and decide whether it will not mean lees expense as well as better administration for you. the voter and taxpayer, to elect the Republican candidates.____:_____ The Republican candidates for the nomination for county commissioners from the so-called "country towns," which include Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, WInnetka.
