ence under the laws extended in force
in the state, until their successors are
elected and qualified in the manner
that is now or may be provided by
law: Provided, that all the valid or
dinances now in force in such incor.
porated cities and towns shall con
tinue in force until altered, or re-
pealed.'
We think this section, or rather
this part OF same, that is or may be
provided by law" vests solely in the
state legislature the right to change
the tenure of such officers The only
provision in seeming conflict with
this view is section of article Is of
Municipal corporations wherein It
is provided for the adoption by cities
OF more than 1000 population of char
ters Tor their own government. as fol.
lows: Upon such approval Il ,such
charter shall become the organic
law OF such city and SUP sode any
existing charter and all amendments
thereof and all ordinances inconsist
cnt with 1t. This might be construed
as a legislative act and abolish all
ordinances and tenure of office of
the cities adopting same as provided
i'm said section OF article Is. We
are, however. inclined TO the opinion
that section 10 Of the schedule above
quoted having been adopted by the
constitutional convention for the pur-
pose of prescribing the tenure and
fixing the status OF city officials at the
time Of the adoption of the constitu.
tion and Inauguration Of state gov.
ernment means that such officials
should hold their Office until their
successors are elected and qualified
in the manner that Is or may be pro.
vded by law" this provision vests in
the legislature alone the right TO
change or abolish such offices. This
of these matters, per.
haps, is not entirely free from doubt,
but in view of the uncertainty we
can not advise taking the risk of the
change until legislative provision is
made therefor or until the supreme
court has held that such action may
be taken. Respectfully submitted,

of Des Moines, there is an organiza-
ton of farmers and they have annual
ly offered premiums for good roads
and under that impulse, good roads
have been made. In every county seat
in Iowa, there should be a good roads
organization, one that would work
patiently and long to accomplish re-
suits. This is a long fight. The work
has been neglected. For many years
we Travelled across the prairies with

GOOD ROADS
NEEDED BY ALL
MERCHANTS AND OPPONENTS OF
MAIL ORDER HOUSES
WANT THEM.

The following extract from an ad-
dress of LATE Young of Des Moines,
was delivered recently at a session OF
the good roads school at Council
Bluffs:
CAS- 1 understand this problem it is
to benefit everybody. There is not
man or woman in the state that would
not be benefited by better condition
of roads. l do not know why the peo-
pie of Iowa have been SO long going
after this matter Of good roads unless
1t is on the same principle as the act
ion Of the man who wakes up in the
middle of a winter night shiyering
with the cold, and with the bed cloth
ing within five feet Of him, shivers for
the remainder of the night rather
than get up and put them on his bed.
Iowa has been shievering for two gen
erations for good roads. When our
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1908-02-15

ancestors first came to this country
they found the prairies with no roads
at all and they travelled wherever they
wished. In time roads We're built up
but no great care was taken OF them.
We have expected the roads to take
care of themselves as water does, but
roads do not do that. 1t is the duty or
every person to keep up the roads at
least along the lines of his property,
but we have not done this, and every
one is guilty. 1t is a singular thing
that the town man and the city man
must be the agitator for better roads.
| presume it is on the same theory
that the invention of the cotton gin
was made by a man who had had
nothing to do with the raising OF cot
ton, and in the same way many inven-
tions have been made in certain lines
in which the inventor has not been in
that profession. Inventions in many
departments have been by men out of
that business, and we have at times
waited until things have been forced
upon us before we accept them. Our
railroads furnish us with good ex-
ample of this. They waited for TWEEN
/ ty years for some good scheme to pre-
sent itself in regard to the selling OF
tickets, and when it came, it had to
be forced upon them by law. Many
other things have been forced upon
them by the law, and they have prof.
ted by them and afterwards recognized
their advantages. 1t has been and is

Greeley said the way to resume,
was to resume / say the way to get
good roads is to get them. They should
be made out of dirt, the same dirt as
is now on the highway. The people of
Iowa can not afford macadan roads
They have not the money to spare.
Dirt roads can be made to answer
every purpose for many years. Col
Baker in his work around Council
Bluffs, which we have seen today, has
demonstrated what can be done with
dirt roads.
Cities Have sponsibiIity.
''Cities and towns have some respon-
sibility in connection with the good
roads problem. They do much to adj
merchant, every opponent of the mail
order houses in every village has an
interest in good roads. In every coun,
try community there should be good
roads clubs organized. They SHOULD
take good roads literature This is an
age of organization. In Des Moines
there are scores of organizations for
the purpose of securing local public
improvements, protection against high
water etc. There is one important
club in the southeast part of the city
of Des Moines that has met regularly
once week for three years. Their
meetings are held in the flre station
They light their pipes and discuss the

Baker has told us the facts about our
public expenditures. We need better
system and above all things we need
township officials who will no their
duty. Formerly road working was con-
sidered joke, sort of frolic. No
man was expected to do a days work.
He was working out his taxes. He
was working for the state Road maxi
ing must be reduced to business
basis.
Long Road Advocated.
There ought to be one good road
built across Iowa from the Mississippi
to the Missouri and that road ought to
be kept In order as an abject lesson
and as an illustration.
"This meeting is not as large as it
ought to be, but there is nothing dis
is made every year. The press is do
ing its duty. Every newspaper in Iowa
advocates good roads. Possibly we in
towns and cities advocate them be

they have in California We don't

cate our children and help feed the
world, Iowa is the greatest agricul
tural state Of all the states, and we
should proclaim this fact everywhere
and at all times. We should organize
"a movement to keep the money that

Want People to Remain.

People have been going away from
Iowa and not coming back. We want
to stop the movement-we want the
people to remain in our good state.
We need the young men on the farms.
We do not want Iowa to become a
state Of tenant farmers. There is too
much idle land in the state already
The waste lands along the roads and
highways must be put into use. The
gross products of Iowa agriculture
could be doubled by better cultivation.
In order to have this better cultivation,
we must keep the young men on the
farm. Some day they will be coming
back to Iowa looking for the patches
of ground that are now going to waste.
But, you will say what has this to do
with good roads? Well, | will say,
awaken an interest in good roads, and
the young men will go to work at
them, and when they go to work, we
will get good roads would go farth-

within an ace Of scoring again, but the fine
