The schools of the Territory are
over-crowded more than ever, from the
meagre information which can be OBJ
tained. In many of the local institu-
tions dozens of children are being
turned awaN on account of the fact
that there is no room for them. The
increase comes mainly among the Jap
anese. but they are not being turned
away more than any other nationality.

INTEREST ON COUNTY FUNDS

We call the attention Of our readers
to the semi-annual report of George
E. Kellogg, treasurer of Audubon
county; and especially to the interest
drawn on county funds. This plan was
advocated in the campaign two years
ago by Mr.. Kellogg who said that If
he should be elected he would recon-
mend its adoption by the county board
This was done soon after he entered
upon the duties of the Office in auuary
1907 At the end of the year it was
found that for the ten months he had
received 1926. 33; and at the close of
1908 the amount for the year had reach
ed $500. 81. making total for the year
and ten months of 1926. 30. This amount
was received at the rate of 2 and q
per cent This year the amount
will probably be larger because the
rate received from the Commercial
Savings Bank, which was the highest
bidder, will he 81 and A.. Four
and half per cent on time deposits
and three and half per cent on daily
balances. This matter is receiving
attention at Des Moines and a law
will probably be passed requiring
county boards to put funds at interest
and at the same time pay the expense
of the bond required from the treas
urer which would be matter of equity
and justice to that officer.

MARKING THE BALLOT
JBLISHHD EVERY THURSDAY

In contest down at Keosaqua
Judge Anderson ruled that the intent
of the voter should govern when count
ing contested ballots. In that county
as in many others some voters had
made cross in front of the name of
Taft or Bryan and generally the judges
of election had thrown such ballots
out. But the Keosaqua Judge decided
that such mark was not for the pur-
pose of Identification but to show the
intention of the voter. This view of the
matter seems to be so reasonable that
it will be adopted in all further con-
tests that may be decided. The con-
test committee in this county followed
the same plan in counting the votes
on the candidates for sheriff. In order
to avoid these troubles and contests
the general assembly should put the
circle back just as it was when the bal
lot was first adopted, for which action
there is an insistent demand through
out the state.

NEW LEGAL HOLIDAY

The first bill signed by Governor
Carroll was the one passed by the
legislature to make February IL, of
each year legal holiday in honor OF
the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the
great Emancipation and the martyred
President. So from now on, February
IL will be Lincoln Day, The birth,
days of Linooln and Washington
come too close together. We believe
it would have been better to combine
the two as Washington and Lincoln
Day, either on February %, or some
other date agreed upon for the oele.
bration to honor the Father and the
Savior of the country, Some legisla-
tor had the good sense to offer an
amendment to drop New Year az q
holiday, but 1t got no support, We
can see no reason for making that
day holiday. Five holidays in a
year are enough. Lincoln and Wash
ington Day, Memorial Day, Fourth
OF July. Thanksgiving and Christmas
should be enough to satisfy ali classes
of people.

B0NWELL'S ROAD BILL

We are pleased to see that Chair
man Bonwell of the committee on roads
and highways has introduced q bill
for the making of better roads through
out the state. AS we understand it the
bill provides for aid from the state to
such towns and townships as are will
ing to expend money In this way If
Mr., Bonwell can secure legislation
that will lead to the making of good
highways in Iowa he will be entitled
to an expensive monument in honor
of such achievements.
Mr.. Bonwell has also introduced a
bill to require railroads to run motor
cars on such parts Of their lines as
are not accommodated by their regu-
lar passenger trains; and to authorize
the commissioners to require better
connections at junction points when it
can be done. We suggest that he pre-
pare one to provide that the morning
