The farmers OF Carroll county are to
hold two days institute next week,
and will discuss the question of road
making, very sensible and timely
movement in view Of the fact that good
roads are more needed than ever to
make rural mall delivery completely
successful. Farmers have had excellent
fall weather; they have improved the
opportunity to complete their work in
the corn fields. and will have more leis-
ure than usual this winter to give the
road question the attention it deserves.
Nothing more appropriate could engage
their attention. Iowa roads are poverb-
Tally bad at certain winter and spring
periods, owing to the character of the
rich soil; and the same roads could
hardly be improved upon at other sea-
sons. This is probably one reason why
less attention is given to road making
than It really deserves. The writer has

MRS. s1ANroRp,s GREAT ACT.

Great gifts for educational purposes
are conspicuous features of the presens
era and reflect lasting credit upon the
generous donors. 1t Is believed that the
record for 1901 will surpass that OF other
years. The great Carnegie gift OF $l0,-
100000 for a national university and the
transfer of $50, V0o. 900 worth of property
by Mrs. Leland Stanford for the Stan
ford University are the latest nantes
tations of public spirit. The last mem
toned gift is of such magnitude that
few can properly grasp it, and deserves
more than passing notice in the dis
patches. This s30,0oo.0 900 donation is said
to be the largest single gift ever be-
slowed upon any Institution of learning.
and 1t carries out the purpose of both
Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford. OF this amount
SIS. o00, 900 consisted Of gilt-edged bonds
and stocks. paying a large revenue. The
real estate decided to the university COM
prises much of the property originally
given by Senator Stanford, but the
deeds of which were found to be illegal.
The bonds include many securities that
have doubled in value within a few
years. and the accumulation of these
and other stocks since the death OF her
husband.
The real property decided includes no
less than 100000 acres in about twelve
counties Of California, and comprises
the great VIVA ranch Of $1,000 acres A
third deed conveys to the university

rated houses in San Francisco, which,

Despite these big gifts. Mrs Stanford

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

1t may safety be predicteds SAYS the
Boone News, that the valued policy
piiis VIII be resurrected this winter and
passed. 1t will not be vetoed. either
Discussing Iowa as manufacturing
state the Algona Republican observes
that 'the towns that lead in thrift and
growth lead in manufactures, and the
way to get into the procession with the
best towns is to branch out in manu-
features"
The Abba Union believes that the
next legislature of Iowa should vote to
submit the question of equal suffrage to
the people for popular vote. 1t says
that there is no good reason why they
should not do this. 1t is a reasonable re-
quest and fair way to determine
whether the women OF Iowa shall have
the ballot. If they know enough to do
four-fifths of the religion and help d.
rect the public schools and rule society
ard help edit the papers and doctor the
sick they surely know enough to vote
and care for affairs of government as
well as the average democrat or repub-
lican of these degenerate days"
The Fairfield Ledger thinks there is
little possibility of any change in the
Iowa saloon law this winter" and be-
lieyes that most of the legislature will
be satisfied to let well enough alone.''
In noticing that Senator Frye has in
troduced a new ship subsidy bill, the

CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

The Sioux City Journal devotes a col
umn to the discussion Of Iowa congress
sional districts and their possible rear
rangelnent by the legislature to adjust
them to the shifting Of population. but
1t does not urge that such changes
of the present congressman are asking
for Encouragement; it declares that as
the case stands the disposition upon the
part of sitting members, all republicans
from republican Districts, is to "let we'll
enough alone" In harmony with the
satisfaction among members the Journal
believes the legislature is likely to take
the same view of the matter, since to
rearrange the districts is bothersome
job and since at the last election the re-
turns show that each of the districts is
safe"
Some idea of the voting strength of
each district is given by the total vote
at the last congressional election, viz:
First, 4o,3os; Second. 5000; Third. 49,,
1872; Fourth, 1924: Fifth, 45.55s; Sixth.
2,16S: Seventh, 1925; Eighth, 1881;
Ninth, 47,7so; Tenth, 5S.1a1; Eleventh.
54,Ss1.
1t Will be observed that the Fourth
district has more than $4,000 more voters
than the First. the Tenth more than u.s.
600 more and the Eleventh more than
$4,000 more.
A Reimbursement Of all the congression-
al districts would seem to be necessary
to equalize the voting population.
The subject is one that ought to be
carefully considered by the legislature.
The Times Republican is willing TO
trust the problem to the wisdom and
fairness of a good committee. 1t be-
,ieyes that ii the districts can be rear
ranged 80 as to more nearly equalize
their voting strength without causing
an upheaval 1t should be done.
AS to 1t being "bothersome Job, as
euggested by the Journal, that Is what
the legislators are elected for-to crap

cheap coal and its railroads. 1t is for
the proper advertising of these advant-
ages that a strong showing ought to be
made at st. Louis.
To the question What is the matter
with Iowa?" reply is more often made,
Iowa is all right which is very large

state is more general and more evenly
distributed than in any other portion
of the union. Iowa is a state of small

one axiom as true in civic l:fe as in all
human endeavor, towns like men must

can never stand still, and the time has
