In q general way the county road
system Of this county has already been
determined. Approximately 162 miles
out Of the 1,045 miles in the county
have been selected. 1t is surprising
what a network Of roads this mileage
makes. If they we're made permanent
i. e. passable for team or car at all sea-
sons Of the year business could never
be tied up as it now is for weeks at a
time.
Can these roads be made passable
the year round under the present plan?
VIII there not be weeks and months
every year when even the best of these
roads will be impa ssable except for
horses and light vehicles? A well
drained and graded dirt road dragged
as soon as possible after rain has soft

weather is fine and dry, but what we
really want is a road that Is good all
the time.
4 significant fact of the present sit
uation is that Iowa money-money dug
out of our fruitful soils being used
in California to interlace that state
with hard surfaced roads in order to
attract more Iowa people. 1t Is peril

state to protect its people from down

AoEmocRA1Ic OPPORTUNITY.

If the democrats in congress can
now reform the antiquated banking
laws OF the country they will have
accomplished something which the re-
publicans have been afraid to tackle
it for many years. The American bank
civilized country where the utmost
commercial peace and security should
reign there Is no organized co-opera-
ton on the part OF banks to with
stand unusual demands. Everybody for
himself and the devil take the hindmost
is the rule now followed just IS it was
among the early settlers and as the
pioneer boited his doors and slept
with his rife loaded when danger was
near so does eacn bank now close its
doors and horde its money in order to
keep its powder dry. When CONNER
cial affairs become unusual each single
bank begins to take care of itself and
at the theater when every individual
breaks for the door on his own account.
A panic ensues.
WHAT we want is the organized pro-
lection Of ali banks for one another.
Whether II is by a national organiza-
ton of all banks and the government
is proposed by the Aldrich commits
sion or by organization OF banks by
groups Of states is immaterial so long
as the organizations are large enough
TO give vast strength TO banks in
times o: unusual demand
We have the nucleus and the pan
for such organizations in our clear
ing house associations in our cities.
BY extending and enlarging the prn-
ciple Of the clearing house we Will
give TO thousand individuals the
strength OF an army.
Then there will be place at which
any bank can re-discount the legiti-
mate notes Of business men without
the bank becoming an endorser. In
other words no bank need deny bust
ness man all the bank loans to which
he Is reasonably entitled for. if the
bank suddenly needs its money, these
notes OF business men who are good
can b. put UP With the reserve associa-
ton for currency upon q moments
notice. Interest rates need not be 10
and - per cent in the newer states
while per cent prevails in the settled
com muniiies.
The democrats are new at the job of
running the country. They are eager
10 make record and new plane al

to be hooed that banking reform legis-
