O'I'd Couple Foung s'gn u\he;r . #orried Over Thek Absence TWO ASPHYXIATED B\ (AS; MISSING SINCE SATURDAY Two people, an aged couple, were found dead in their Highwood home Monday night by their son, who had become aroused when he learned that they had not been seen since Satur day evening. The names of the dead are: : JOHN WALZ, 67, former army sook; later employed by the North western railway. * Lizzle WALZ, hbhis wife. They hbad died from asphyriation. A Iot in the pipe, carrying gas to the s range, was discovered by 'Carl Rudoiph, a rallroad man of Highland Park, who accompanied the son into the home. Wals either shut off two jets on the stove or turned them on in hbhis excitement. Rudoliph followed him to the stove and turn-- ed off two that were open but he was not sure whether they were the ones that Walz had tampered with or qpot. Suicide was hardly considered at the coroner's inquest held Monday evening. Investigation into financial condtions showed that John. Walz was receiving a pension of $60 month-- ly from the government in addition to his salary from the railroad. An appeal from an orphanage was found in his pockets, and beside it wasva check for $10 that he had written. Their bealth bhad been average, for their age, Coromer J. L. Taylor --learn-- The verdict gave the cause of death as asphyriation brought about sccidentally, as far as they could determine. Walz and his wife bhad been seen last Saturday. Their son had gone to the home in the evening and found the door locked. He believed they had gone to Cnicago, so the ¥isit was dropped and 'the incident left bis mind. Monday afternoon neighbors ve-- came suspicious and took the mat-- ter up with the son again. He tried the door and found it locked. _ BY "jmmying" a window he was able to #ain © entrance. Rudoiph {followed _ Mrs. Walz was found in bed. She had been dead #ome' time. Walz was found in the living room on the floor. He had his trousers on, but mo other articles of clothing and it is the opinion of the coroner that he had gone to investigate the gas range preparatory to stopping the dead, which he hbhad probably noticed. The son went to the range and twisted the jets. Rudoiph followed] and turned off two that were open. He was not sure Whether he turned theones that Walz had twisted. He was greatly excited and could recall little of the discovery for the jury.

Favor's Inst week at the Evangelical Bunga-- low church After a apecial musical AUTO FEES PAY PROPOSED STAT ROAD BONDS--NO DIRECT TAX passage of the $100,000,000 bond insue resulit in increasoed taxes Undoubted ly, a vast majority of our people are heartily in favor of hard roamds. The people of lilinots want the enlarged Btate road system the new bond issue will make possible, but some hesitate to favor the proposal, because of their fear of a direct tax. Howoerer, a ¢a#te ful strdy of the method of financing proposed for the bond issue will allay any such fear and show that the auto license fees will pay off the principal and interest of all state highway bonds without one cent of direct tar being required. even When the new bond issue was first proposed, the State Division of High-- wayy prepared careful estimates of the probable revenues from motor fees dur-- Ing the period the bonds would run. For the sake of safety, these estimates were made highly conservative, but they showed conclusively that the motor fees would be entirely adequate to meet principal and interest pay-- ments on both the old «and the new bond issves and still leave a large an-- nual surplus. Since these estimates were prepared almost two years 'have elapsed, and the actual accomplishments during these years have greatly exceeded the estimates. § After estimating the revenus for future years, tables were prepared, showing the principal retirement and interest charges on both the $60,-- 000,000 bond issue and the _ $100,-- 000,000 bond issue. Comparing the payments for these purposes with the estimated motorf fee revenue, it was found that there woAhld be an annual surplus ranging from $3,000,000 to program, Rav.

It should be remembered that in esti-- mating revenue, only moter license fteoe collections were econsidered. Ns account was taken of the Federal Ald allotments which will probably' con tinue for a number of years to come. Iilinols' allotments will probably amount to at l $2,500,000 per year. which will gy# a still greater margin of safety. THE AVERAGE YEARLY PAY-- MENT OF PRINCIPAL AXD INTER E8T ON THE 380,000,000 BOND I88UTE AND THE PROPOSED $100, 000,000 BOND IS8UE AMOUNTS TO APPROXTIMATELY $8,000,000.

When the old $60,000,000 bond issue was before the people for ratification, the same question of the direct tax was railsed. Our citizens have never paid a cent of direct tax on the old road bonds, and there is not the«re-- motest possibility of s#heir doing so. When the old bond issue was proposed, it was estimated that the maximum collected would be $6,000,000. In the collected would be $6,000,000. In the first nine months of the present year nearly double that amount was real-- ized. During the year 1917, immedi-- ately prior 'to the adoption of the £0,000,.000 bond issue, our license fees amounted to $1.587,772.60. In 1923, the year prior to the election on the proposed new bond issue, the collec-- tions were $9.630,367.77 In other words, we are about six times as able to pay now as then. The person who doés not own a car will not have to pay. a cent towards the cost of the roads. The person who does own a car will more than make up the amoumnt of his license fee by reduced driving expense due to im proved roads. No direct tax will be required. C This great road proposition is up to the people for ratification at the com-- ing election. To carry, it must réceive a majority of all votes cast at the election. 'In other words, failure, to vote on the proposition is equivalent to voting against it. Therefore, each citizen owes his state intelligent con-- sideration of and conscientious voting on this proposed bond issue, which is the greatest and most constructive measure ever submitted to the people. Should it carry, Iilinois will continue to surpass all other states in hard--toad construction, and will, within the next few years, become the best paved state in the world.

SMALL BEAT OPPONENT 10 TO 1 IN KANKAKEE In some precincts in Kankakee county the opposition was so slight as to be negligible in the general result of the contest. In the Fourth precinct, which is the home of the Governor, he received 860 votes to his opponents 139. In the Fifth precinct, where the entire population considered them-- selves next door neighbors of the Gov-- 'emor, he received 496 votes while only 80 were marked against him. In the Fourteenth precinct only 48 of the 452 votes cast were against him. In-- stances of almost ten to one in favor of the Governor are noted in the final Ifagures. Canvass of Primary -- Vote Shows "Home Folks" are Strong for Gov. Small. The vote given Governor Len Smail by the people of his home county of Kankakee, settles decisively any ques-- tion as to his standing with his "home folks." Few men in public life have received a more nearly unanimous endorsement by their neighbors than did Goverror Small in Kankakee on April 8th. The result of the official canvass, recently announced, showed that the Governor received 11,002 votes to his opponent's 3,688, a majority of 7.314. The vote given Governor Small in his home county is the best evidence of the confidence and esteem in which he is held by friends and neighbors with whom he has been associated all his life. 4 % 4 4 % % * * % % 4 ¥% 4 % % % %* * PRA IRILE VIEW * Mr. and Mrs. A.
