AN INCOME OF 1870 BILLIONS.

The farmers of this country will sell
nine billion dollars worth of produce
that grew out of the ground and was
bred on the farms. Now mind you, that
is all new. It is wealth that didn't
exist before. 1t grew. 1t was born. 1t
is the farm production of the year 1912.
This year we may expect as much more
to spring into existence thru the black
soil and the herds and focks. And the
next and the next and so on as far as
Won care to carry it out. The farmers
are doing we'll.
The merchant or professional man in
the city who does well demands the
better things Of life that his prosperity
will buy He not only desires but he
goes after them and gets them. So does
the farmers Of the later days to a
great extent. When he prospers he
builds big barns and fine houses. He
gets a motor car.
There IS something most important
that farmer and city man alike and in
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ZIG lily man
when he prospers and the business
promises we'll moves to a paved street
or demands paving on the street where
he lives. Why should a business which
does a volume Of nine billions a year
and has an outlook bigger than ever
before shun expenditure for real and
permanent highways? Especially when
the proposition is that the city man
who has already paid for his own paw
ing or expects to is willing to take on
a considerable part Of the cost of the
highway.
Nine billion dollars. 1t is a sum to
stagger the imaginatoin 1t is ten
times the estimated wealth of Rookie
Teller and Rockefeller could build con-
crete highways around the world And
at that it is but one years production.
Nine billion dollars and impossible
highways are not to be spoken of in the
same breath.
At nine billions a year TWEEN
ty years means $50 billions of hard
dollars. Why cant such business
care for paved roads thru every coun-
ty in Iowa on a monstrous income like
that?

STATE HOG CHOLERA SERUM.

Fifteen prominent stockmen, says a
Shenandoah news dispatch. have
formed an association, having for its
object manufacture by the state of
serum for the vaccination of hogs
against cholera. They expect the as
ISOLATION to take on a state wide as
pect. The state veterinarian sent n
letter to the meeting in which he is
said to have pledged himself to the
support of the movement. 1t was
stated there that many losses among
the herds of the southwestern sec
ton Of the state are directly traceable
to the fact that no serum Of guaran-
teed quality could be procured.
II the hog cholera serum does the
work, if it is actually preventive OF
the disease, it can not be made too
cheap or too good or too much OF It..
|. The suggestion and purpose of the new
hog growers association seems to be
in line with common sense and econ
omy Of the states resources. 1t costs
Iowa many millions each year to bury
cholera hogs. If the state can make
and distribute d serum which is ac-
tually a preventive 1t can't get its lab
oratories working too soon.
There is only one real question
about it. Is the serum effective when
properly made and that nobody is eX-
y,
upon the state If the slate is clear
the state can afford to make it by the
barrel and sell il at cost.

impression derived from study OF
the majority report to be 'its utter

validity only so long as serious causes
of disturbance fail to arise. We are
sure that it was intensely disagreeable
TO them to be compelled to take view
which was certain to justify criticism
from other than the purely legal and
practical standpoints. It may, indeed,
fave been inevitable that the finer and
more idealistic conceptions Of marriage
should become obscured in the course
of such an inquiry. 1t is nevertheless
calamity that what one may term the
business and contractual side Of this
great sacrament should be so disagree
ably prominent. Happily the minority

appeal to the better instincts Of the;
community, is some corrective to the
materialism of the document it criti-
ciZes with such conspicuous ability.
The attitude of the church upon

would be untrue to her mission and

Protests Rural PaUj,,g Plan,

Editor Times Republican: Nobody
on earth would appreciate paved coun-
try roads more than we'uns up this
way where the mud Is black and the
water is soft, but. nevertheless. we are
inclined to think that your editorials
pleading for paved roads from one end
of the state to the other are just q
little bit premature.
Don't you think, Mr.. Editor, that you
are going too fast? Don't you think
you had better take up the slack in
your lines? Don't you think you ought
to hold back your horses at least when
you turn the corners?
All this talk about paved country
roads sounds nice and looks good on
paper, but 1t will take money-hard,
cold cash and lots of 1t, Mr.. Editor,
to do it, and 1t is the opinion OF the
writer, and he knows whereof he
speaks, that the sooner you put dam
per on your seemingly unduly wrought
up enthusiasm over paved public high
ways the better it will be for your rural
subscription list. OF course no one will
deny that paved country roads from
Keokuk to Sioux City, from Waukon
to Council Bluffs, from Swea City thru
Jewell Junction to Marshalltown and
then on down to Deep River would
be fine thing and would ultimately
enhance the value of Iowa dirt, but
let's not 60 too fast. Let's wait until
we have all our swamp lands drained
and the public highways tiled before
we enter upon a new and costly en-

That's a safe and sane policy. Don't
you think SO?

Jewell, Iowa.
Mr.. Stenerson has expressed forci-
bly, the views of the standpatter In
community progress. Ten years from
now he will have moved up to our
present position of enthusiasm for
paved highways only to find the wide
awake. progressive far in advance OF
him leading his country on to some
other great public improvement. and
he will then believe as now that we
are driving too fast again.
II Iowa waits any longer to pave her
main travelled roads from county seat

for those states and advance the price

Smith Tells Pastors.

Abandoning Illinois politics forever
to seek new field Of religious en-
deavcr. Rev. Frank G. Smith, the par
son-legislator, yesterday vouchsafed
these axioms to clergymen as to the
relationship Of religion and politics:
The minister OF the gospel should
not seek political office, but he should
not shun it.
Ordinarily some other man can be
found; the ministers church work Is
his first duty.
Broadly speaking, his entry into the
political arena is mistake.
But there are special circumstances
when he has divine call to run for
office.
Civic righteousness is his aim; II
civic righteousness depends upon him
and him only, as a scandidate, he should
run.
When the special need ends he should
retire and devote himself to his church
duties.
Should the extraordinary situation
come he has the same chance of cleo
ton any man has. Vote-buying and
political machinery can not defeat the
! right man on the right issue.
Rev. Mr. Smith, served two years In
the state legislature and was one of its
most popular members He retired vol
