A RIDICULOUS BALLOT.

Voters of Marshalltown have demons
strated that the public is often COM
PEELED to bear the expense of exercising
personal whims. The official ballot at
the municipal election Monday was not
so great in length. but it was wide
cut" to IN extent that seems unwar-
ranted by any demand of public good.
The Times Republican prints fac
smile of the ballot used in one ward.
1t contained eight tickets. seven Of
them bearing only a single name each.
The republican ticket was the only com
I.iete one, the others being usurped by
the various candidates and all headed

men in Marshalltown willing 10 hold
municipal office is large enough 10 af-
ford ample choice for the voter 1t may
well be doubted, however, if the free

FOR ROAD WORK.
(Algona Republican,

"a GOAAd 4ASPuOliSStL,J
The outfit that will be used in the
county grading work the coming season
will. 1t would seem. insure the best re-
suits. It will consist of fourteen-inch
plow and an elevator to carry the dirt
TO the roadbed. The slope of the ditch
that will be left will be even from the
outside of the roadbed to the extreme
outside line of the right-of-way. The
trouble with most of the roads is that
the dirt is taken from close to the road
bed, leaving a ditch that holds the wa
ter and soaks the road. The point to
be gained by carrying the water as far
away as possible is obvious The outfit
of Contractor Beedle takes fourteen to
sixteen horses to operate it. There will
be in the neiEhborhood of $1,000 in the
county road fund this season, and that
cum expended in good work ought to
be of great benefit to the roads Of the
county.
