The resolutions have some good
features, such, for example, as the
compulsory dragging of the roads, the
voting of the mill tax for improving
the public highways, the appointment
of county engineer by the board of
supervisors for each county, the codi-
fication of the road laws. All these
are good features and would, without
q question, result in the improvement
OF the Iowa roads throughout the
state.
The all-important question is to de-
velop an interest on the part of the
people that will result in the i'm
provement of the highways. We be-
lieve there is interest enough on the
part of the people to take hold of the
problem, provided proper leaders will
come to the front and take charge Of
the work.
There are opportunities for real
leaders to make regulations for them
selves if they will but take hold of
the highways problem in this state,
and we sincerely hope that Crawford
county may furnish some of these
leaders.

GOOD ROADS SENTIMENT.

The good roads sentiment was
greatly strengthened in Iowa by a
meeting of the friends of the cause
held at Des Moines during the last
week. We regret that more interest
was not shown in the meeting on the
part of the good people from this
county, there being but few people
from Crawford county at any time and
most of the time no one at all. There
is no question but what as a result
of the meeting a great impetus will
be given the good roads movement
and We expect to see an improved
condition in the sentiment of this
county.
The first day of the meeting was de-
voted to reading the short papers on
road dragging, draining and broaden
ing into the advocacy of permanent
road making The second day of the
session was devoted to general de-
bate and the adoption of a platform
which we repeat, as follows:
"First-There is strong movement
on for permanent roads in the states
of the east, west and middle west.
The national government is encourag-
ing this movement, and will doubtless
lend substantial assistance to such
states as engage in the undertaking.
We believe Iowa cannot afford to lag
behind in this work, and We recon-
mend that our coming legislature test
the sentiment of our people by sub
hitting at the next general election
the question of issuing bonds for good
roads improvement under the provis-
ions of section 5, article T. of the state
constitution.
"Second-We favor the compulsory
dragging of earth roads and the main
tenance of an ample and nondivert-
ible drag fund. The present drag law
should be simplified and made more
effective.
"Third-We favor permanent
state highway commission with ade-
quate powers.
"Four-We recommend the classifi-
cation of the rural highways of the
state.
"Fifth-We favor one mill tax for
state and for highway improvement,
to be levied within the next two years.
"SiXth-We favor the appointment
of a county engineer by the board of
supervisors of each county, subject
to the approval of the state highway
commission.
"Seventh-In order that the peopl
may know what the Iowa road laws

good character, as citizen and as a
