WRITING ENTIRE ROAD LAWS

PERTAINING TO HIGHWAYS
Movement for Repeal Of Tax Fsrst
Law We'll Under Way-Aiisn's Com.
nerre Counsel Dill Likely 70 Become
Law-counssl Would Have Charge
OF All Rate Cases.

Special to Times Republican
Des Moines, Jan. 20.-Representative
Whitney has been at work on the most
extensive highway bill ever presented
in the legislature He has commenced
at the very beginning and the bill is
of the state on highways and every
thing related thereto. His plan Is to
write il all over again because the
present law has been tackled on to the
old law IN such a way that it is hard
to understand. Mr.. Whitney would d.
vide il up into parts and cover each
subject separately. He would include
the weed laws, the drainage matters
road grading and dragging. the taxes.
etc, all in separate divisions. 1t is
expected that this bill will form the
basis for great deal of good work for
road legislation this winter.
The movement for the repeal of the
tax ferret law appears to have got
under way. The resentment over the
work of the tax ferrets is strong in
many parts Of the state and the belief
is that il would be far better TO have
the law repealed and to have the mat
ter left as formerly for the county
rrea surer TO look after and to discover
hidden personal property Bills by
Weber and Fulton looking TO repeal
of the law have been presented ana
there is little doubt they vii! be pushed
to a passage at once.
The governor yesterday transmitted
to the legislature the papers from the
secretary of state telling of the action
Of congress in reference to the income
tax These papers have been here over
year awaiting the meeting OF the
legislature. Resolutions will now be
prepared TO conform to the income tax
bills and be passed.

ton of game.
Joe Aliens commerce counsel bill OF
two years ago is likely to go thru at
the present session Of the legislature.
He provides for special lawyer to be
appointed OF designated by the gov
ernor to have charge of the Transport
tarion and rate cases on behalf Of the
state and the people. The importance
of this office Is better seen by reason
of the happenings Of the past year and
the vast importance of the cases before
the interstate commerce commission
in which Iowa people have been in
terested as a whole.

Gasoline Power on Farms.

Within ten years approximately s.
000. 900 acres Of farm land in the United
states and Canada have been taken
from the farm horse and turned over to
the steam or Oil plow. which cuts a fur
row not only more swiftly but better.
Like an article auction, the pillow horse,
which has also served TO draw the fam
lily to church on Sunday and whose
traditional name is "Dobbin,' Is go
ing, going, and in time Will be gone"
The reason for the change is simple. Not
only have the mechanical experts of
this county, and of Europe as Well, i'm
proved the movable gasoline motor and
steam engine to such an extent as to
make it practicable for driving ploTs al
a great saving as compared with
horse power. in its literal sense. but
they have so perfected it that 1t may
be utilized for numberless smaller
chores, such as driving the churn. rum
ming the grindstone, threshing grain,
pumping water and saving wood.
