"It was a hard fight to bring the prices down and it has been a continuous fight ever since. The interests which were determined to rob the people of their money were ready to destroy, crush and kill, if necessary, in order to accomplish their ends. "My friends, I am glad to be able to say to you that after nearly seven years of fighting for the things the people wanted, fighting for what I believed to be in the interests of the people of our State and that the people receive a dollar in value for every dollar of their money spent, we have today over 6,300 miles of concrete pavement completed, the best paved roads built in any country in the World, and that the average price for this pavement has been less than $29,000 a mile, a saving to the people oi Illinois of over f65,000,000 in rand building alone. Motor Vehicles Increasing1 ' "When I became Governor seven years ago, there were 568,000 motor < ehicles licensed in this State. Up to October 12, this year, there are over 1,400,000 motor vehicles licensed, an increase of over 150% in the number of motor vehicles in seven years. "The growing demand for highways seems to be increasing faster than it is possible to build them, especially around the great city of Chicago. The main road's running into that great city should be doubled in width, and at some of the most congested roadcrossings where two trunk lines cross, grade separations should be provided. "While Illinois stands first of all states in the Union, with its 6,300 miles of pavement, which is enough miles of pavement to make an 18-foot paved road from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, it is my hope that within the next few years we may build all the roads authorized undter both of the State Bond Issues, and extend them so as to connect every city in the State of Illinois with a paved highway thus giving to Illinois from 10,000 to 11,000 miles of hard reads, and bringing 99% of our seven millions of people within a short distance of a modern hard-surfaced road. "Yes, niy friends, I am strongly in favor of completing our great road system and connecting every city and village in the State with a paved' highway, paid for by the owners of the motor vehicles who use the roads, without one cent of direct taxation. tunates. and inspect ing our great road sj stem, and visiting the State's newly acquired State Parks and great conservation projects, I am deeply Impressed with the wonderful resources of our State. "And when I pass the great manufacturing and industrial plants, and the truly wonderful buildings in the great city cf Chicago, and other manufacturing centers, I am impressed* with the enormous wealth of our successful business men. "But. after all, my friends, more impressive to me, and I believe more important to the future welfare of this country than all of these great evidences of wealth and power, are the comfortable homes and contented families of our millions of people. "Do we really appreciate how fortunate we are, we who live in wonderful State of Illinois? Garden Spot of America 'Our State, with its seven millions of people, is the garden spot of America, located in the very heart of the corn belt, tne greatest agricultural territory in the world--geographically almost the center of the United States, and today one of the three foremost states in the Union in population* wealth and natural resources, with the best highway and railway transportation systems of any state in th9 Union. "Illinois' wonderful waterway possibilities from the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, the building of which was recommended by the first Governor of Illinois more than 100 years ago, and! endorsed by nearly every Governor since, talked about for more than a century, the bond issue of $20,000,000 voted by ihe people" for its construction 19 years ago lay dormant for 12 yeans, and the first actual work towards building the locks and making this great waterway a reality was accomplished since I became Governor and is now well under way. "This waterway, when completed, will not only give our farmers and manufacturers reduced freight rates to the south and west to the Pacific, but it can be well said will open the v.orld's market to the great central part of the United' States, placing as on an equality with the Seaboard states, and :hereby greatly increasing the demand for our products, as well as reducing the cost to our consumers on products from far distant points. "My friends, when all of these piojects are completed, the highways and the waterways, the fertile valleys of Illinois will become the greatest manufacturing, as well as the greatest agricultural center in America. Illinois will then soon surpass all other states in population and wealth, and my friends, I thank you for the great assistance you have rendered to your State administration in its efforts to serve the >est interests of the people' of Illinois, and in your great aid in Wedding Anniversary Several of their friends delightfully surprised Mr. and Mrs. Peter Weingart at their home on Wednesday evening of last week, the event being in honor of their eleventh wedding anniversary. The evening was spent in playing five hundred, with the first prizes being won by Mrs. Nick Kennebeck and William Freund and the second prizes were won by Mrs. Wif lian Freund and Nick Freund, while the consolations went to Mrs. Nick Weingart and Peter Weber. Mr. and Mrs. Weingart were presented with a gift as a memento of the occasion and a sumptuous lunch was served.

Freund, George Young, Nick Freund, Edward Buss, Peter Weber, WiHianff Freund, John F. Freund and Edward and Clarence Freund. "And let me say to you, my friends, j bringing about the many accomplishthat the automobile license fees and ments in behalf of the people. the gasoline tax, if you please, are the best and most profitable expenditures that any automobile owner can make when he gets paved roads such ag we have in Illinois. Millions Saved Taxpayers "If we estimate the number of motor vehicles now traveling the roads of Illinois ta 1,500,000, which including visiting cars is a low estimate, and that the 1,500,000 cars average 5,000 miles per year on the paved state highways, which is also a low estimate, "And I congratulate you upon the flourishing condition of your organization and I give you my best wishes for continued success and ever increaing influence for the moral, spiritual and material welfare of the people of our State." Watches Are Presented Appreciative of the passage of eight measures by the Fifty-fifth General Assembly, designed to raise the newspaper profession of Illinois to a higher plane, chief of which was that making it would make a total of 7,500,000,000 j possible the establishment of a school miles per year. of journalism at the state university at the paved road saves each auto-'sold watches were presented to Govile owner one cent per mile over ernor Len Small, Lieutenant Governor the old dirt roads, with chuck holes, bad grades and dangerous curves and turns, that would amount to a saving of $75,000,000 a year to the owners and users of the automobiles in the Fred Sterling, as president of the Senate, and E. P. Preston, editor of the Gillespie News, chairman oi the executive committee. Presentation was made by J. M. life, wear and tear, oil and gasoline | Sheets, editor of the Oblong Oracle, and washing of their cars. If you'who stated that in whatever part of think my figures are to high, divide the country-he traveled he was greeted them by two and you still hate a saving of $37,500,000. °* "And all the automobile owners of Illinois will probably over pay for these roads is their regular license fees and a gasoline tax, which will be used to build more roads and for the upkeep and maintenance of the roads built.
