NARROW TIRES
ENEMY TO ROADS

lis the Worst Thing Possible to Trans
form a Good Road Into Bad
One, Says w. F.
Baker.
DO GREAT DAMAGE
Use of Wide Tires Would Remedy a
Great Deal Of the Present Trou-
BILE With High
ways.
DO GREAT DAMAGE

That the narrow wagon tires is the
worst enemy of good roads in Iowa is
the contention of w F. Baker of Coun-
Gil Bluffs former Pottawatamie county
supervisor and veteran good roads
advocate of the state. In a letter on
good roads he gives his reasons as
follows:
In the construction of public roads,
there is a suitation in Iowa that is
not found in any other state with the
possible exception of Kansas. I re-
fer to the general use of narrow tired
vehicles under heavy loads, so de-
structive to our highways, in fact are
responsible for nearly all the damage
done to them. Many kinds of road
construction that would be successful
in Nebraska and most of the other
state would be absolute failures in
Iowa owing to the use of narrow tires.
Nebraska is saving her macadam and
ether roads with the use of wide tir-
cd wheels. No load with less than
fourinch tired wheels are allowed up
VA 'tS ioou oCInccn SiHdud ana III
ence, Neb.
Many wagons with ten inch tires
are sent from Omaha into Illinois be-
sides a large number with four inch
tires, and but very few are sold in
Iowa except to railroad contractors,
to whom you could not give narrow
tired wagon to be used for hauling
heavy loads
Other than regular pavement what
road construction can support a mar
row tired wagon loaded with two tons
weight fnot an unusual load each
wheel having a pressure upon the road
bed of more than five hundred pounds
to the square inch? They will de-
stroy any road construction with the
exception mentioned, in very short
time without constant repairs. The
silly argument that narrow tired
wagon loaded hauls easier than a

The Burden Upon Elder
Keokuk Mayor, Who Will be Candidate For Reflect
ion, Finds Himself in Peculiar Position

Mayor ]. F. Elder, upon whose head
the burden of responsibility for the
success or the failure of the present
administration will be fixed by virtue
OF his position as the city's chief
executive, will be candidate for re-
election in the spring. The Gate City
is able to make this announcement
this morning not upon the present
mayors own statement, but as the re-
suit of interrogations directed at
few of his intimate friends and other
men on the inside capable of drawing
best conclusions in the matter
The fight Mayor Elder must make
will have to be in substantiation OF
what has been accomplished in
municipal way during the past two
years. While it is true the failures
of the departments in any matter or
likewise the success that has been
made will be attributed directly to the
heads, still there is certain to be that
underlying current of disapproval or
approval that will have its effect on
the mayoralty campaign. Ii Commits
sioner Schmidt has been bowling
success as street commissioner so
much the better for Elder: if Commits
sioner Gray has handled the reins OF
| the public safety department after an
approved fashion, Mayor Elders vote
will be increased; and visa versa.
Campaign Of Different Character.
From the standpoint of a fight,
Mayor Elder may be counted upon to
show much more class than two years
ago as a vote getter, despite the fact
that his majority was overwhelming
and surpassed expectations OF his
most loyal supporters. In that short
campaign Mayor Elder learned the
rudiments of political fight. Reason
ably sure of himself and relying upon
his friends, who brought the office TO
him on a silver platter, the fight was
|, an easy one. That race combined the
integrity and past record of Mayor
Elder with a condition in city affairs
which argued for a change and the
present mayor was almost solidly sup
ported to beat the old politicians
whom the people had tired of.
! That peculiar condition no longer
exists in Keokuk. The city has had
commission form OF government and
wants nothing else. But the past few
months have given the voters food
| for thought and the city promises to
have an election filed with some Of
the spirited campaigning which will
prove interesting.
Opinions Are Reverse.
A careful canvass Of men now in

four inch tired one has been proven
wrong by every test that has been
made, including those at Ames, Iowa,
and those by the United States gov
eminent in connection with their field
artillery. The latter made thorough
test and adopted four inch tires. 1t
is strange to me that the people Of
Iowa are generally SO Indifferent re-
garding this, as narrow tired wagon
used to any extent for hauling heavy
loads upon our roads costs the tax
payers in injury to our roads more
than twice each year, what 1t would
cost to furnish its wheels with four
inch tires, that would last at least
three times as long as the narrow
tires. A four inch tired wagon load
ed with two ton weight has a pressure
of two hundred pounds per square
inch or more than the best road roll

Nothing could be devised that would
SO effectually contribute to the main.
tenance of our roads as the general
use of wide tires and the occasional
use of the road drag to obliterate the
tracks, thus causing the travel to
spread over the surface of the road.
When this system is adopted, we shall
have ideal roads in Iowa, costing but
small sum to maintain to what they
do now.
Narrow tires are not only destructive
to dirt roads, but to all road con.

structions and most of all to macad-
am. There is no move that could be
made for the improvement of the high
ways in Iowa SO practical and effective
as to take from the road fund suffi-
cient sum to create factories in diff
ferent part Of the state to convert mar
row tired wheels used as described,
into wide tires as all they need are
new fellows and tires costing not to
exceed ten or twelve dollars per wag-
on. Iowa should not be behind all
other states in this respect

politics and those who are able to
sound out certain classes of voters
in various parts of the city in way to
forecast, with some degree Of certain
ty, the outcome of political election,
presents a great diversity OF opinion
even among those who usually are of
the same political leaning. One man
now IN office who is considered one
OF the shrewdest campaigners the
city has had for years said this:
In my mind there is absolutely
no question about Mayor Elders
reelection. You will find little
scattered opposition here and
there, but he will have walk
away. This is my observation
after a fairly close study OF the
mental attitude OF the voters at
present time
Another man who is given credit
with being able to get closer to the
people and learn more of the inside
factions which may sway a few hun
dred votes here and a few hundred
thore is of just the opposite opinion.
He points out small matters which
have been done during the present
administration which have turned
voters away and set their heads to-
ward securing new timber,
Sees Severe Opposition.
This is his statement:
"WhiIo 7 mould l,orJI., ,o
as to say Mayor Elder can not be
elected in the spring election, my
better Judgment tells me the OPP
position will be SO severe that
the result is very questionable in
my mind. Another candidate of
almost equal business ability
would make great race"
Supporters Of the Elder administra-
ton point out the manner in which
the commissioners have saved money
and at the same time done great
deal Of improvement about the city.
The opponents declare that while the
treasury may not be in a depleted
state at the present time, the PEOPLE
have paid their good money for street
improvement which has cost them
more than ever before.
Again it is said the Industrial AS
ISOLATION will back Elder with its
strong support. The other side holds
the opinion that solid labor vote
would beat the life out of it.
The next article will deal with the
department of public Improvement in
an effort to show the sentiment to-
ward the manner in which the work
has been done-E Editor.
