Louisville and Cedar Creek as well as South Bend had met a large number of the vot- , ers. At the meeting here Senator Ban ning presided, being introduced by C L M. A Bates, and the next m na- j tor proceeded to discuss in a very I eaiaeal manner the story of the loot- lag of the str?te by the tax-eaters at j Lincoln. Mr. Banning, who was in ; the legislature of 1909, touched on ' the fact that the expenses of the; sate at that tim? w re Sj.oOi'.OOo fcr the two years while under the last two peftrs of M.Kelvie tiie cost ' had been $39,000,000.

As the example cf costs he showed the federal aid highways from Om aha to the state lin south and the ig'e-I'almyra project, bottr of which run through this county and which rn;t somt.fH in? like $2.r00! per mile, while the county board of I (. mnntv h-,,1 find the ro.-.il from 1 I.oufsville to Plattsnaotttb and from i I'nion to EImwewd at an average cost - - " - . of ;iuu per mile and was practically .
