The great success with Which that pro-.
vision of the code which grants to street
railways the power Of eminent domain in
cities reappears in that document after
it has been kicked out repeatedly, suggests
how possible it is for the code to contain
numerous woodchucks without discovery.
In view of this fact, the prospect of the
adoption of the code by the railroad route
is not calculated to bring much Of COM
fort or assurance to the business people OF
the state. Furthermore, republican
legislature is taking big chances in foist-
ing upon the state a system of laws about
which it knows no more than seems to
be known about the mysterious new
code. The new code may pass, but if it
does, look out for a period of startling
discoveries and abundant litigation.

THE GARFIELD REPORT.

Some of Mr.. Garfields friends are
defending his beef trust report. They
point out that that report showed that
profits of the capitalization ran as high
as eighteen to twenty per cent in the
case of one company. They also say
that Mr.. Garfeld's critics "seized upon
the per cent and ninety-nine cents
per head fignre alone and derided the
suggestion that the packers were max
ing SO little money. The fact that the
per cent profit is a profit on gross
sales, not on capital invested, and are
parently lost sight Of
Mr.. Garfields friends now point out
that "the report says that while the
profit on dressed beef was ninety-nine
cents head, the profits on the by pro-
ducts brought the profit per head to
S1.5O; and when it is considered that
the packers handle millions of cattle
each year the volume of their earnings
is apparent.
But even s1.50 per head is at wide
variance with the figures presented by
Cuthbert Powell, who for more than
twenty-five years has been commercial
editor of Kansas City Journal. Mr.
Powell statement mas Deen given wide
publicity. 1t showed that the average
net profit to the packers is S7.41 per
head. Mr.. Powell concluded his state
ment in these words: "Apply the aver
age profit of Sal on cattle, 20 cents on
hogs, so cents on sheep and so cents on

GOOD ROADS

Iowa is making great strides in the
matter of good roads, said Mr.. Adams
of the national bureau of good roads in
quiry, while in Des Moines recently.
The good road trains are something
which every state in the union ought to
adopt and in time warrant there will
be no further need of arousing the pub
lie pride for good roads"
''Some day the farmer and the small
townsman will understand that truth
which the larger cities have learned,
that every cent which is expended upon
good roads and streets to make them
passable and the firm and hard, is re-
turned by increased trade two-fold. 1t
is recognized fact that if farmer
lives about the equal distance from two
towns he is going to trade at that town
where the roads centering into it are
the better. He will, in fact, go several
miles further over good roads rather
than pull few miles through mud and
gumbo."
81 expect the state of Iowa to take
the lead in the good roads movement in
the west. Her farmers are progressive,
well-to-do, and have sufficient pride to
build up their particular neighborhood.
They are the ones upon whom the good
roads question must look for solution.
By reaching the farmer you reach the
basis of all good roads enterprise, not
only those who are best fitted to solve
the question, but who, will be best ben
Gifted by bringing it about.
