MAKE GOOD ROADS COMPULSORY.
The Iowa Plan Would be Good For
kaDSaS Too.

The Lawrence World. in speak
ing of the movement for good
roads, says:
For those who are skeptical on
the road drag proposition the re-
cent action of the farmers of Iowa
will have possibly some influence.
A convention will be held in Des
MONIES next week by delegates
from every county in the state for
the purpose of securing through
an act of the next Legislature,
some means whereby it may be
made compulsory for the roads of
the state to be worked with the
King road drag and the expense
carried either by the county or
townships.
Iowa has gone into the road
drag business more extensively
than any state in the Union, not
excepting Missouri, the home of
King and the King drag. There.
are already many miles Of well
kept road in Iowa which has been
kept by the road darg and by the
road drag alone. Those in that
state who have seen the benefits
of the drag are clamoring for an
act of Legislature making it
permanent authorized work in
every county in the state.
There might we'll be the same
regulation in the drag system of
road working as there is in the
present road grader system. The
township road overseers might well
take care of the roads in this man
ner as in the grader system and do
a better job of it at much less ex-
pense.
The expense item is the point
which should appeal to every
man in the county. According
TO the statistics Of Douglas county
the amount of roads worked the
past year cost the county $50 per
mile in public money. These
figures are exact according to
the amount paid for road work.
Much of this work was little better
than no work. Mr.. King who
lecturcd here recently said that in
Missouri a district of farmers
hired a man to take care of their
roads during one year and when
they figured up the expense at the
end of the year they found that
for tle excellent work that had
been done they had paid the man
less than s. per mile.
Those who have recently driven
over the piece of road between
Cameron's Bluff and the Nc
Creath corner, on the Lake View
road, say that the road is the best
they have ever seen in this
county. This piece of road was
kept during the past several
months with a King road drag as
the only implement. To drive
over this road is to convince the
driver that the road drag is the
only successful means of maintain
: ING q dirt road.

assassination of former Governor

AND THE CAT CAME BACK.


The controversy between the Boise
Statesman and the Boise Evening
Capital News regarding certain cam
paign aspersions they have at differ
ent times employed referring to the
candidacy of Governor Gooding makes
mighty interesting reading, but hardly
proves anything other than that the
logic of the situation depends entirely
on the point of view.
Prior to the campaign two years
ago the Statesman. in supporting the
denomination Of Governor Morrison,
indicted some very caustic editorials
in criticism of Candidate Gooding and
his associates. Since Governor Good
ing's nomination and election, and re-
nomination and election, the States
man has given to the public a humor-
Gus example of political sail trimming
and the present dilemma is a notable
instance of the fact.
