GOOD ROADS BILL
HAS BEEN SIGNED
The First One of it's Kind in the State
Will become Law
July 4.

Burlington Gazette: With an ella
ton much akin to that which a father
experiences, when ne receives the an
nouncement that Its boy" did John
Pettibone. chairman of the board of
supervisors welcome letter from
Representative R. D. Dodds this morn
ing, stating that Governor Carroll
had signed the permanent good roads
bill introduced by Mr.. Dodds and that
the provisions of the bill would become
a law on July 4.
This bill framed by Mr.. Pettibone
and CALAMITY pushed through by Rep
resentative Dodds is the first perma-
nent good roads bill to grace the Iowa
statutes. 1t is the first time in the
history of the state that any tangible
effort was made by sensible legisla-
ton to improve the roads of the state
and the day will come when everybody
will rejoice that such measure is on
the books.
In brief the law contemplates the
establishment of certain road districts
in counties by the boards of super
visors. If fifty per cent of the acreage
lis in favor of permanent improvement
lof the roads within such district, the
board of supervisors can proceed &c
build the roads, dividing the expense
equally with the farmers in the afore
said road districts.
The bill also provides for the levy
ing a two-mill road tax As the oii
does not become law until July Atm
lit will not be possible to do anything
until that time, but explain the work
lings of the new law to .he farmers. al
lot road districts and do such prelim
mary work as will insure speedy IN
auguration of construction work a.
soon as the law becomes operative.

Before we can sympathize with
others, we must have suffered our
selves. NO one can realize the suffer
ing attendant upon an attack OF the

perience. There is probably no disease
that causes so much physical and men

natives do likewise. Aponlmon waH ~

lands and houses of the country will soon
go into the hands Of the former. The
Koreans are great borrowers and they
cannot resist the money temptation. They
do NOT think of pay day until 1t comes,
and as A result are not able IL meet their
obligations.
Indeed. it is UP to the japanese govern
ment 10 protect the Koreans from one
class of its subjects who are now over
running this country. The Koreans are
nation OF children. They have been 50
ground down In the past that they have
not learned to hustle and To look out for
themselves. They are wonderfully gentle
and trusting, and the shreUd japanese
can easily take advantage of them. He
is doing so today. notwithstanding the
government tries to prevent IL. and the
authorities should put on the screws and
punish severely all such offenses. Prince
Ito has tried To do this. even to the eN-
tent of sending hack large number Of
the Japanese who have come here. saying
that they were not fit 70 be in the couu-
try.
1t is this element that knocks the ko-
rean about, cheats him out of his wages
and if possible by means of loans. takes
his houses and lands. 1t is the low class
element among the soldiers, scattered in
small bands over the country away from
their superior officers. which is leading to
the killing OF many innocent Koreans un-
der the name of insurgents: and which, if
the government does not pursue a more
rigid policy. is likely to lose Japan its
reputation as having the best. the kindest,
the most refined and the most humane sol
diers on earth. Indeed, 1t seems to
that Japan has in this low class element
which has come to Korea a problem far
more serious than its people think. II
Prince Ito could transmit TO the Japanese
in Korea the same feeling of brotherly
love and charity which he and the better
class Japanese have they would soon make
the Koreans the strong friends of Japan
and build them up as an independent but
powerful element for good in the Japa-
nese empire.

extent that il fell TO half its original
value. The japanese have now introduced
their own coinage. accepting the Korean
nickel at the market rate: and from now
the country will be on a gold basis.
Japanese bank notes are everywhere TAX
en- and Japanese silver. nickel and copper
coins are in common use. This reorgan-
iZation of the tina nees has been one of the
great problems that the Japanese have
had TO deal with. bu. the vice minister of
finance. Mr.. Arai. tells me that it is now
practically solved and that he anticipated
no further trouble. He says the govern
ment has lost money in taking the Korean
nitkels at half rate and that the counter
feits they have had 10 accept nave
amounted to millions. They have already
exchanged about seven million yen or
them, the average nickie being worth
something like three-fiftieths of its value
instead of the wenty-five-fftieths at
which it is taken.
Mr. Arai has organized a banking sys-
tenn for Korea The central treasury Is
now the Dai Ichi Bank and there are in
addition industrial banks which are loan
ing money against land 10 the farmers,
They make long loans at II and 10 per
cent a year, which are considered es-
peciaIly low rates for Korea. These in
dustrial banks have savings departments
connected with them, and there are also
post Office savings banks. which have
more than 100000 yen on deposit. Many
Koreans are putting their money into
comparatively low.
In addition to this the government is
now organizing system of small capital
associations. These will have a central
head. with about one hundred branches,
and will issue small loans to petty farm
ers. The loans viii be as low as SO, and
may be secured by crops and chattel
mortgages. All these things will tend to
create thrift among the Koreans, which
heretofore has been impossible on account
of the squeezing and insecurity of all
money.
Indeed. one of the common Korean
banks of the past has been old Mother
Earth, and this especially so during the
winter. When a farmer sold his crops
and wanted to keep the money over un-
til spring he would. dig pit six feet deep
and four or more feet square; and at the
first frost would put down layer OF
cash and sprinkle earth and water over
it. BY morning 1t would be frozen stiff.
The next night he would put down an
other layer of coins with mud on top.
This would freeze and so he would go
until he had block of frozen earth as
hard as ice filled with these coins at a
thousand to- the dollar. The work was
dope secretly and the result was such
that it would take days to recover the
coins.
am surprised at the enormous interest
