we, as citizens, regardless Of party,

to do the best for the city. We have
nothing in this election to do with

THE MATTER WITH IOWA. 4

Some time ago the Courier published
q list of names filling nearly column
of the people from this vicinity who
attended the Iowa Society picnic at
Los Angeles. Comments from some
of the other state papers reaching
this Office, however, make 1t plain that
other parts of Iowa were represented
by much larger crowds of their former
citizens at this California gala day.
For instance, the Des Moines Capital
has secured q copy Of the Los Angeles
Examiner which published three full
pages Of names, classified by counties,
of Iowans and former IoWans attend
ing the picnic. The list from Polk
county alone filed a column and u
quarter of agate type, which is much
smaller than the type in which this
article is set. The Capital believes
that a copy of this paper showing the
number of Iowans who have left the
state should be sent to every member
of the Iowa legislature in explaining
to them what their problem is with
and it adds:
Some Of these people have gone to
California on account of the climate,
Dull the great uidJOIlLy VI IAOAu A0N y
gone on account of the excessive tax
on monies and credits, because Of good
roads in California and bad roads In
Iowa because they knew that California
offers them belIer opportunities than
Iowa, being informed as to what Cali
fornia opportunities are, and being
ignorant Of what their advantages are
in Iowa. Because the average indi-
vidlal in Iowa is talking about moving
to some other city or state, because
the people of California are filled with
public spirit and are builders, and be-
cause the people OF Iowa generally are
lacking in public spirit. Iowa is with
out definite ambition to grow. While
the entire spirit of the Pacafic coast Is
How can we attract more people to
the Pacific coast and how can we make
our communities more livable?'
Iowa is confronted with serious
problem and yet the legislature cannot
be made to see It, When it comes
around again for the election of leg
islature the campaign in every district
should be made upon the basis OF
whether the candidate is in favor of re-
building this dormant commonwealth.
There Is something definite the matter
with Iowa, the Capital conclues, and
it can be best summed up in the state
ment that Iowans lack public spirit.

that means that Waterloo will be a
