year and township trustees on the
whole have paid no more attention to
It than If 1t had been made for the
Zulu Islanders.
The state attorney general has called
the attention Of the county attorneys
Of Iowa to this law and he tells them
that they must see to 1t that 1t is en-
forced.
We are going to have a gathering Of
road superintendents, township trus-
tees, county supervisors and others IN
terested in road work in this county
in this city next Tuesday. County At
,torney Crazy should be one Of the
speakers on this occasion. He should
explain to the men who gather there
what the. law says that they should do
and what it says he should do If the
laws are not enforced. No better OPP
portunity will be offered during the
year to show where each official is at
and IL 1t is taken advantage Of 1t will
save future trouble and embarrassment
to all concerned. If there is anything
impractical or unreasonable about our
road laws it is time we are finding
1t out by putting the laws to the test.
THE FACTS OF THE RECORD
IDes Moines Register and LEADER
What are the plain facts OF the rec
ord? Before the campaign was four
weeks old the president had materially
nodded the platform in several inn
portant matters by his campaign
speeches. notably with reference to the
popular election Of United States SEN
ators, the income tax, etc. And what
happened when Immediately upon the
close of the campaign congress was
called in special session? A tariff law
was enacted admittedly without any
attention whatever to the methods pre-
scribed in the platform, and corpor-
alton tax was created to which no ref
erence had been made in the platform
or during the campaign either direct or
indirect.
The only conclusion any person can
draw is that with Senator Aldrich and
under his leadership the platform
means nothing when it proposes or
hints at what he does not want Under
such circumstances with what justice
are senator's and representatives to be
set down as irreconcilables when they
take their stand by the Roosevelt poll
cies, which were what the platform in
a general way was written to embody,
and vote or refuse to vote as the pro-
posed measure squares with the real
purpose of the men who wrote into the
preamble Of the platform, In this
greatest era of American advancement
the republican party has reached it's
highest service under the leadership
of Theodore Roosevelt His admins
+rafion is an apoch in American his

ROAD LAWS MUST BE ENFORCED
IGrundY Democrat


Web. Byers 1owa's state attorney
general, has written to county attorn-
eys giving notice that the road laws
must be enforced with the same care
and with the same spirit as other laws
on the statute books Of Iowa Byers
believes that after a state legislature
makes laws it is the duty of the proper
officials to see to it that they are en-
forced There is nothing unreas ona BILE
about that, but it is something new.
In the past laws in the main in this
state have been enforced only as public
sentiment enforced them. The proper
officials have been moving along the
line of the least resistance-they have
permitted the people to do their: own
enforcing. The present state attorney
general is not satisfied with this GUS
tom. He believes that a law that is
good enough for legislature to make
is good enough to be enforced. And he
is right.
Legislatures make many laws that
are unreasonable and ridiculous The
swiftest and the safest method Of get
ting such laws from the statute books
is to have them enforced The people
of this state will not long stand for
ridiculous legislation if it is enforced
against them.
There is no portion Of Iowa's statutes
that have been more prom iscuously ig-
nored than its road laws. and there is
no section Of these laws in which there
has been greater laxity of enforcement
than the road drag law. This law has
