IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
I'm years to come no public service
concern will do business without ar
ranging matters with the people.
Where there is not municipal owner
ship, there will be profit sharing-the
city will get certain per cent of the
net profits" argues the Waterloo
Times Tribune.
The Des Moines Capital calmly OBJ
serves that There is no great upris-
ing in Iowa because John Cownie has
not been removed from the board Of
CONTROL
1.-THE liquor problem must be dealt
with in practical way" contends the
Frank County Recorder and con-
tinues: Until prohibitory laws can
be enforced in all the counties of the
state-and We are nearing that time
a measure of regulation is better for
the localities in which it can not be
enforced. No one will dare dispute
the proposition that Iowa is more
nearly a prohibition state now than
before we had the mulct law"
"Confidentially," remarks the Car
roll Herald, 'it must be conceded that
the selection of Warren Garst for gov
ernor at the last primary would not
have been a noticeable misfortune for
the republican party or the people of
the state. Events have revealed him to
be a man of larger proportions than
the average and his knowledge of men
and the needs of the state in their
various phases would have been bene-
fetal in more ways than one. Time
and events are disclosing to the peo-
pie of the state his real worth as q
public man and official.'
Commenting upon the fact. that gro
Gerry peddler are making their country
rounds, the Ogden Reporter says: "If
many people who buy from them could
hear the funny stories these peddlers
relate about selling tea at 90 cents
per pound. when YOU can buy the same
OF our local men at Is and 25, YOU
would sit up and take notice. That
is their graft 10 make pcorlt ray Their
salar" and expenses by .uakng large
profits"
"naspite the apparent ia:enese of the
season. CROPS promise Well If now
the tariff question were settled there
would he nothing in the way of restor-
alton of a fuil measure of prosperity"
cheerfully comedies the keohuh Gate
City.
"The women who imagine that the
newspapers will soon let up on the
1909 hats, do not realize what a huge
subject it is calculates the Waterloo
Times Tribune.
AS the Webster City Freeman
Tribune regards the situation, "Iowa's
prestige at the national capital seems
10 be in safe hands. Iowa will never
lose anything when A. B. Cummins sits
at the head of the table"
One thing the Abba Union feels
thankful for is that the assembly did
not burden the state with so MANY
questionable measures that have come
from recent legislatures and that most
of their follies are still in the commit
tee rooms
st IS dangerous for one so far on
the outside to risk a guess on the sub
ject,' timorously assumes the Grin
nell Herald, "but if we had been Gov
ernor Carroll and had as many un-
signed bills on our desk as he must
have had when the confirmation of
Judge Conner came up. we would have
tried the persuasive power of our elo-
quence on some of those senator's"
Noting the fact that a free mail
route out of Atlanta, Ga, has been
abolished on account of the bad con-
dition of the roads, the Fairfield Led
ger declares "The postoffice depart
nent is fast approaching the stage of
good roads or no mail service
"Thirty-six out of the forty-six
states in the union now derive part of
their revenue from an inheritance tax.
This shows the popularity of the tax,
and if it so common in the states why
should not congress take advantage
of the opportunity to meet the national
needs?" asks the Davenport Democrat.
