Charlton, Jan. 27-The first step
toward securing good roads for Iowa
has been taken in the legislature in
Des Moines by bill which was intro
duced Friday by r. A. Hasselquist,
member of the house from Lucas coun-
ty. MI. HasselQuist is one of the old
members of the house and his intlu-
ence is felt whenever he starts al any
thing. The bill which he has introduce
cd and which promises to pass will
place a permanent fund in the hands
OF the county treasurer to be used for
the purpose OF working the roads. 1t
is comprised in an amendment TO sec
ton 1880 Of the code, providing for the
collection of highway taxes. He pro-
poses to amend this section by insert
ing in the second line the word shall"
in place OF may" as it now stands,
making it compulsory to collect a
highway tax and not optional as here
tofore 1t will thus place a road tax
at the command OF the treasurer
which cannot be used for any other
purpose in accordance with his amend
ment which further provides for in
sorting in the thirteenth line of the
collected shall be used for no other
purpose" The Importance of the
measure can at once be seen as it viii
place a permanent road fund in every
district where heretofore it has been
in only those where they saw fit to
levy the tax and thus much valuable
and necessary work can be done on
roads where none is now being done

ter roads throughout the entire state.

ialy proud of Mr.. Hasselduist for his

entirely for their benefit His worth
as wise and conservative legislator

Guiding the representative districts of
which he is chairman and which prom
ises to be one of the most important

OF business, the other eight are: Ap-
preparations, railroads and commerce,
congressional districts, mines and
mining, retrenchment and reform. wo-
man suffrage, and pardons, which is a

Coroner Freelinger of Oskaloosa
held an inquest over the remains Sat

were examined and the jury rendered
a verdict to the effect that the men
came to their death by reason of a
dust explosion in the mine, caused by

Mr.. Reynolds reported that some
whiskey had also been taken and on
the way to the county Jail, Chief Gray
asked the two boys where they dis
posed of it. Ingles said that they did
not take any whisky when they were
in the store, claiming that he
drank all he needed earlier in the ev-
ening. They both took their arrest
very cody.
