"UNDUE INFLUENCE"

Senator Townsend told the senate
lobby investigating committee the
other day that he believed the near
est approach to undue influence"
was the influence exerted by the
president and by the use and powers
of the party secret caucus" Contin-
uing he said: Il am convinced that
some senators will vote in favor of
the tariff bill and against amend
ments they believe in because of the
fear of antagonizing what is known
as the power and influence of the
administration" 1t has been open
ly charged that the president is
holding up appointments in order to
Coerce senator's to vote the way he
wants them to. If these charges be
true they are serious The president
is transcending his just authority If
he uses the public patronage placed
in his hands by the people to beat
recalcitrant representatives of the
same people into line. That is
form of bribery just as reprehensi
BILE and just as vicious as the use of
money or other thing of value, and
it has become to be so regarded by
the people What is the difference
in the principle whether a man says
to a representative: Il will give
you $500 If you vote this way or
will give you an office worth ST.
600 per year for one of your politi-
cal henchmen." That is what Presi-
dent Wilson is doing, in substance,

According to a dispatch sent ont
from Perry, Iowa. the first concrete
pavement Oh a country road in that
county was completed a few days
ago. The stretch of road is one
half mile long, eighteen feet wide
and six inches thick in the center.
The dispatch does not state the
thickness at the edges. The entire
cost is said to have been $500 per
mile In mile of paving eighteen
feet wide there are just 1850
square yards, hence the cost of this
paving was II cents per square
yard. Sand was procurable right on
the job. That has something to 90
with the extraordinarily low cost.
But assuming that the specifications
called for one part cement, two
parts sand and three parts crushed
rock or gravel, the sand at rs cents
a cubic yard would not add more
than six cents a yard to the cost of
the paving. The commercial and au-
tomobile clubs of Perry and the
board of supervisors of Dallas coun-
ty built the road.

EX-Congressman Hull of Iowa, and
Charlie Lands of Indiana, who

City a few years ago and pleased

confessed to being paid lobbyists in
Washington. They are not there in

They are paid by "big business. "
There could be no objection to these
gentlemen accepting such jobs if
they did their work openly and if
everybody knew they were lobbyists.
The big interests have every right
to representation and ought to be
granted a full hearing, but the
whole proceeding should be in the

Since the closing of the saloons
in that city Waterloo seems panic
stricken, not knowing what to do
without the revenue brought to its
treasury by the license of the "life

she must have blood money" or

Really, the town that cannot live
without the saloon is not a town to

surprised to find out how easy she
can get along without these places.
In few years she will wonder that
she was exercised in the least over

ways will be found to raise the nee
essary revenues and Waterloo will
con tinue to be one of the best cities
in the entire country. Her citizens
