FOR THE WANT OF A HORSESHOE NAIL

A southern Iowa farmer writing to
an Iowa paper in opposition to hard
roads, cites as an objection the burden
gravel or stone roads. Dirt roads, he
says. are good enough if drained of
surface water.
Dirt roads are good if drained Of
surface water, during large part Of
the year. They are exceptionally good
in a dry time. but they are not good
enough for the farmer who has used
graveled or stone roads: that is they
are not enough. He discovers that a
road good every day in the year is a
good investment. AS ne reaches higher
development as farmer. as the farm
grows into larger and more profitable
investment. he finds he can afford a
good road every day-and sooner or
later, he helps make it and pay for it..
Twenty years ago. over in the Rock
River Valley in Illinois, in a splendid
farming country, bad dirt roads were
the rule. Today the dirt road and the
hard road run side by side. Out Of the
towns marooned in spring and fall by
impossible dirt roads run long stretches
of hard road. The land alongside is
marketable from s1T5 TO s225 per acre.
The farmers wanted the good road
good every day in the year. They
/ could afford it. And when IL had been
! finished 1t was found that II had added
every cent 1t cost to the selling price
| OF the farms. It was an investment.
! OF course it Is hard on horseshoes,
but the blacksmith must live. And why
lose a good road for want of a horse
shoe nail?

mention the terribly extravagant form

today all over Iowa are paying Is to Is

pay cents a package. This is -four,
salt and water, worth not over cents

that Is good old cheese is put up and
sold at 10 to IL cents package Or Jar,
which is really 40 to so cents a pound
for cheese. When it comes to all the
other thousand and one articles OF food
put up in packages. we are paying
nearly twice what the bulk prices are
and should be. Our retail dealers are
not getting this extra profit, in fact
these package goods are held by the
manufacturers at a fixed price every
where. These scent packages OF
crackers cost the retailer so cents a
dozen. and where he sells dozen pack
ages, delivers them. and charges them
he really makes 10 cents. There is no
q1est ton but that the consumer has had
much to do with the lowering of high
prices on other food products simply
because he bought less and substituted
other cheaper foods. Now if said con-
sumer will make more purchases of
hulk goods and less of package stuff.

SENATOR BERRYs OBJECTION

Senator Berry, of Indianola, in a
communication to the Des Molnes Reg
lister and Leader objects to the en-
ploynent of convtcts on public works.
Practically his entire objection rests on
the humiliation" of the prisoner which
the senator assumes must follow his
exposure 20 the passing public when
he is publicly employed.
The senator ccnju-es UP a picture
vivid with galley slave color, balls and
chains and like badges of infa1ny. His
idea of an Iowa road gang of convicts
attaches to itself a Iuril ni1nbus Of penal
vindicativenaSs which nothing in Iowa
character jtEstifies. The fact is that
the humIia ton of cenvicts employed
On public work would not and need not
be accumulated by balls and chains and
galting guns and all the parapI ernalia
OF humiliation the senator's active
imagination presents to his mind. Some
humiliation there would be. Why not?
Humiliation is preparatory process in
reform, But the publicity Of court
trials, of sentences in open court, of the
trip handcuffsd to prison, of the story
of the crime and it's punishment flung
abroad by the newspapers are all
huniliattng to the last degree. The ad-
ditLonal humiliation which Senator
Berry tears may well be balanced
against the advantages of the proposed
plan oe public employment
The present system is utterly unfit to
the need. It doesn't deliver men from
the prise better than when they went
IN Wardens like Sanders are assist
ing to modify the medieval system OF
dungeons and vengefulness into a pro-
cess Of reform, to conserve health
and build hope. But the system is a
failure It has all the elements of FAIL
ure in It.
States which have set convicts to
work ON public irnprovem ents under
kindly and intelligent supervision find
the system highly successful. The old
plan u abo4ninable. We must get away
from Il The role of objecter is alwa ys
safe and easy but what constructive
suggestion has Berry to offer?
