Hardly a month in the year
passes that The Gate City is not Inn
portuned by some contest company Il.
put on a subscription scheme. Hard
ly a week passes that The Gate City
is not solicited to use premium with
subscription effort. This paper has
for several years steadfastly resisted
these appeals and refused to become
a party to any plan or scheme that
would make it embarrassing for the
business men or subscriber in geye-
al. The attitude of the Daily Publish
ers' Association OF Iowa is against
such methods and they are fast disap-
pearing with the best papers.

With the great increase in the
number of automobiles in this city
/ the problem OF speed regulation or
Main street promises to be as much
a talked OF question as street cleanine
or lighting. Last fall number o.
careful motorists began a campaign
for the proper observance OF road
rules on the street and some pro

ance that would be adequate on thai
question but 1t was apparently drop
ped. With the police issuing warn
ings to speeders that they will put s
stop to violations OF the speed regu
la.ions the pedestrian may not take
his life in his hand every time h,
crosses the street during the comm;
summer.
