CARROLL. TO CALL
ROADS MEETING
COMMERCIAL CLUBS, SUPER
vIsoRs AND OTHER oReANI-
CATIONS REPRESENTED.

Des Moines, Jan. 13-Plans are al
most complete now for monster good
roads convention in Des Moines at
which every good roads organization,
every commercial organization and
every county will be represented. 1t
will be called by Governor B. F. Car
roll and will be held either during the
last week in February or the second
week in March.
The announcement of these plans
was made yesterday after a confer
ence between the governor and the
good roads committee of the CONNER
c1al club, OF which E. T. Meredith is
chairman. The Commercial club
agrees to furnish the meeting place,
establish hotel headquarters and ar
range for the other necessary details.
Governor Carroll agrees to issue the
formal call
Present plans are to have a repre-
sentative present from every CONNER
c1al body in the state, from every good
roads organization and from every
board of supervisors Every
other organization interested, such as
the Iowa Automobile club, the Iowa
State Threshermen's association, the
Iowa Retail Implement Dealers and
Iowa State Grange, will also be asked
to send representatives.
The idea is to make the greatest
good roads convention ever held. and
for this reason it will be called Just
when the country roads are the worst.
If held in February it will precede
the state hardware dealers conven-
ton and if held in March will either
follow or precede the state thresher-
mems association convention. Both
organizations are deeply interested in
the good roads movement.
Time Is Proptous.
1t is believed that never before have
conditions been SO propitious for hold
ing such a convention in Iowa. The
deplorable conditions of the roads dur
ing the early part Of the present win
ter and prospects of even worse CON
ditions in the spring has stimulated
interest in highway Improvement to a
high pitch.
The fate of most of the good roads
legislation presented to the last gener-
al assembly showed the necessity of
having definite program to present
to the lawmakers and this will be the
chief purpose of the proposed conven-
ton. 1t is hoped to arouse such a de-
mand for road improvement that the
legislature will not dare reject any
plan which will tend to improve con-
ditions
With Governor Carroll, the state
highway commission, the thresher-
men, the implement dealers, the Iowa
State Grange, the Automobile club,
numerous commercial clubs and other
organizations all working to a com
mon end it is believed that a plan of
road improvement can be worked out
which will meet with the approval of
the people and result in better high
ways than Iowa has ever known.
