Iowa is slow in the good roads prop

Richie Corrugated Culvert Co., who
has recently returned from Columbus,
o., where he has been in attendance at
the National Good Roads meeting. "Of
the 1,400 delegates who participated in
the meetings" continued Mr.. Richie,
Il was the only one registered from
Iowa. The meeting was q most in
teresting one and delegates in attend
ance received much valuable informa-
ton. The roads in Ohio, are the
finest rural highways ever saw and
are a credit to the city thoroughfares
in Iowa" Mr.. Richie is great advo-
cate of good roads and he plans this
winter to tour the state and give adj
dresses before the farmers Institutes
on the most important subject of the
day to Iowa farmers, Good Roads"
Mr.. Richie has considerable data on
the subject and his addresses will be
eagerly heard.
II just wanted to call your attention
to the fact that under the compulsory
educational law, children under Ia
| years of age must go to school more
than four months of the school year."
declared Truant Officer Church Porter

years ago, but the last legislature
amended the statute requiring chill
dren under chat age to go to school
the nine months of the school year
"The general opinion in Des
Moines is that the commission plan OF
government is an improvement over
the old plan of government as bust
ness proposition said Chief Deputy
United States Marshal Harry Ham
mond, "and my view is contained in
the general opinion. 1t gets away from
the old ward method of politics, and
reduces the political end of the idea
to minimum. 1t Is less liable to cor
rupting influences, and every mon
who is on the commission is held di
rectly responsible for his department
tai work. There are features about it
however, that are not the best, but
the good qualities Of the plan fal
overshadow the bad In time the com
mission plan of government will BIZ
the order in all the larger cities o.
Iowa, and 1 can not believe that the
cities so governed will be otherwise
than bettered. The success of the plar
in Des Moines is eloquently demon
strated in the condition of our streets
which under the administration O
Commissioner MacVicar have beer
wonderfully improved. The same con
dition exists in the department o
public safety under Hamery Our pc
lice department is the best in the en-
tire state and 1t will continue to i'm
prove with time. The plan handles the
matter of taxes in much more equit
able manner than the old for moi gov
eminent, and I believe the taxes will
i gradually decrease as the age of thu
commission plan increases"

ceptaCles for garbage will receive the
attention Of the Street Cleaning De
partment.
General Cleaning.
Back yards and cellars will receive

Before July last said the Commits
