WORK DONE BY
RURAL CARRIER
IOWA MAIL CARRIERS PRESIDENT
WANTS BETTER ROADS
IN STATE.

Everybody in interested in good
roads and none more so than the, rural
carrier, who is aptly described in the
following address as "The Connecting
Link Between the Old and the New"
The paper is by G.. M. Adams, presi-
dent of the rural carriers association.
The roads out from Ottumwa have
been rather bad, especially since the
rains of a few days ago. and therefore
made it hard going for Uncle Sans
rural deliverers. Extracts from Mr..
Adams address follow:
They Know Bad Roads,
"You must all agree with me that
the rural carriers certainly know a
lot about bad roads and that they
have often thought how nice 1t would
be if the roads were only good the
year around. Now in Iowa we have
1920 carriers that are going over the
roads BOG times each year in all kinds
of weather and on all kinds OF roads
Each day We travel over three-fifths
Of the roads in the state. am sure
that you will agree wit hme when
saw that no one is more vitality inter
ested in coed roads than we are, and
am just confident enough to say
that only few Of you will disagree
with me when l say that few are
better qualified to act as good road
advocates than we are The nine
speakers that have preceded me have
all made mention of the rural carrier
as an important factor in the good
road work, and eight out of the nine
have said that we must wi nby organ
ization and agitation.
Good Roads Work,
! We now have good strong associa-
| tons in over two-thtrds of the coun-
l.ties in the state and are endeavoring
| to make the good road work a prom
inent part of all the county farmers
institutes. We are in close touch
with and are working in conjunction
with the highway commission in fact,
we think the commission is a large
generator or power house with Prof.
Thos H. Macdonald as chief operator
In charge, who Is busy in getting to-
gether all the information about good
roads that he can and sending the
same out by the carriers that repre-
sent 1920 live wires into every town
shin in the state.
| With this great system nearly COM
pleted it is possible to feel the pulse
of the entire state in a few days as
was noticeable last winter when the
Teter bill was up before the house.
The carriers rose UP as one voice in
opposition to it and the bill soon found
| its way back to the rear. This brief
| ILLUSTRATION will tend to show how the
rural carrier forms the connecting
| link between the rural population that

Fourth. The total circulation of

It now carries against it's
deposits. Is per cent in reserve cities
and IL per cent in other cities, Is rec.
ferent from deposits subject to check.
Sixth. The profit upon this credit
currency will be precisely the same as
upon corresponding amount of de-
posts upon which the bank is paying
either 3 per cent or per cent, as the
case may be.
The committee made this statement
in urging the bill.
your committee reterates its often
repeated assertion that handbook
credits are identical with bank-note
credits and that it should be at the
option of depositor of a bank to say
whether he shall have a current credit
Of the bank or credit subject to his
check
"The currency commission, repre-
senting the American Bankers asso
citation, has recently enunciated this
principle so well in the following Ian
guage that your committee quotes 1t
with unqualified approval: A bank
note Is essentially the same in princi-
pie as deposit payable on demand.
1t is book deposit converted into
such form that 1t passes current. It
resembles in character demand GER
tifcate of deposit or cashiers check
simply current deposit liability OF
the bank"
your committee asserts that it is
immaterial whether the obligations of
bank are in the form of deposits sub
ject to check or Of credit bank notes,
providing that the reserves are ample
and the same amount Is required for
the protection of each. With the same
sue its credit notes that it has to ac-,
cept deposits subject to check the
habits Of people will determine
whether the deposits of bank or it's
credit notes are the larger
The committee then mentions Scot
land, France, Germany and Gamma,
citing the experience of each, and
there is perfect freedom of ex-
change between bank book credits
and bank-note credits, and where the
relations between the two are con-
stantly changing in perfect accord
with the desires and convenience of
the people. 1t is pointed out credit
currency is the currency of the civil
lized world with only an exception or
two to accentuate the rule.
The committee says the advantages
of a credit currency are that 1t will
lower and equalize interest rates, MAX
ing the rates practically uniform
throughout the United States; that 1t
will give TO the country districts as
economical form of credit as the cities
enjoy, where checks are chiefly used;
that it will give to the mass of the
people who use currency in their
smaller purchases. as economical form
of credit as those enjoy who use
checks in their larger transactions;

Road Building Education.

We do not need more money at this
time, what We need is education, edu-
cation along the line of systematic
road building and the proper admin
istration Of our road funds, in fact we
need less politics and more brains,
less play and more work, less guess
ing and more engineering, and we can
soon travel on our roads instead of in
the roads.
I'm closing let me appear to you to
be loyal, be true and be patriotic. The
man that Is truly great does not wait
for an opportunity to do something,
he goes right out and makes the op-
.portuntty. see many of the old sol
diers before me now. and we all know
them for what they have done for our
country, but want to say to you
right now that if am instrumental in
leading the good road movement in a
township, ] have done as much to the
glory of our nation and for. the good
of humanity as the man that led a
hundred men in. a battlefield, and if
you should be So fortunate as to lead
the work on to success in county,
your glory will be equal to that of a
colonel that led full regiment of
1000 men on to victory On the battle
fields In the early sixties.
The time is now ripe for an active
campaign for good roads. Acquit your
selves like men, take up the work at
