EXIT. sHANKLANp BILL.
lBoone News Republican,


The disturbing Shankland bill has
shuffled off it's mortal coil and will
rise no more to harass this legisla-
ture. Thus a proposition to put Iowa
into the same condition as other states
where wild liquor fights at elections
occur at stated periods. and where the
smallest and poorest policed burg in
the state has chance for booze
Joint, has been put down by the Iowa
legislature. 1t is good job. The mulct
law as it stands is not perfection by
any means, but it has served to keep
the everlasting liquor fights separated
by long intervals and it provides
means whereby the sentiment for the
sale of liquor must be pretty strongly
expressed before it happens.
The people Of Iowa once voted pro-
hibition, but they later determined that
was impractical BILE, and substituted the

PEGG1NG AWAY.
fDeS MoineS Tribune.

Mr.. Brockway looks on him self as a
staunch and steadfast friend of restric-
tive liquor legislation He would not
consciously do anything to enlarge the
liquor territory in Iowa or in the coun-
try at large.
And yet it is Brockway. and men like
him. who are making It absolutely GER
tain that in two years Iowa will loosen
up on saloon restrictions.
No power on earth can keep Iowa
from going democratic in two years if
this Legislature disposes Of three or
four important measures as Brockway
and his friends intend to dispose Of
them.
Yesterday rural school consolidation
was reported for indefinite postpone
ment
In the debate that is now setting
in over a greater Iowa that action
alone will keep enough republicans at
home next year TO settle the matter.
This greater Iowa movement is or.
Brockway and his friends can not stop
it. All they can do is to eliminate a
republican majority the next legisla-
ture.

A NINE-rooT PAVED ROAD.

The board Of supervisors Of Cerro
Gordo county expect to build at least
one mile of hard surfaced road this
year. Whether the south Clear Lake
road. adherents are successful or not
in getting the first specimen mile laid
on that road. they expect to adhere to
their determination to build a mile
somewhere on one Of the main trav-
eleed highways which will soon become
system of state highways
Cerro Gordo supervisors are display
ing wisdom however, in their plan Of a
paved road. because the up-keep will
be practically nothing. Wayne county
commissioners declare that the up
keep of macadam or gravel is such in
that county that they could afford to
build cement paved road every seven
years instead and be money ahead. The
Lee county people will undoubtedly
find the same thing, even with the nine
foot road. The theory of the concrete
and dirt road is simply this. In rainy

THE IOWA HEN.

The best money maker on the farm
is the hen. She turns the grass into
greenhacks, grain into gold. and from
sand and gravel she coins silver. There
is nothing else on the farm to COM
pare with her. The horses and cattle
are heavy consumers and to get their
value one must part with them, but
not sc with her. In her small way
she is & gold mine on the face Of the
earth, a mill that grinds that which
Others overlook and refuse.
