GOOD ROADS AS AN INVESTMENT
ICr,inAx Dernanraf


We have 500 automobiles in Grumpy
county. They were worth 100000 a..
least when they were new. Each OF
these cars needs 500 "a year for tires.
That makes this county's tire bill $780,
900 a year. This, bill can be doubled
or cut in tWo without changing the
cars mileage. II these 500 cars were
driven on rough and poorly kept roads
the year round the tire bill would be
doubled. II they were driven on
smooth. we'll kept and we'll dragged
roads the tire expense could be cut
in two Every automobile driver VIII
admit this is SO. Here we have tire
expense of $4,000 a year on bad
roads and $50 900 a year on good roads.
The difference is 100000 q year be-
tween good roads and bad roads.
Every automobile owner is tax
payer. How can we save these ,aXpay-
ers the unnecessary $4,000 tire ex-
pense each year? By making roads
for them that will give car tires the
longest possible service Can we do
it for less than $4,000 year? We
have 400 miles OF road in this county.
II we were to spend $4,000 year on
them TO keep them in good driving
condition If would mean an expenditure
Of s2o5 g mile. Do we need that much
to keep a mile of road in condition
that has been properly drained or
graded for which funds have been pro-
vided9 No. If we spent s15 on every
one mile for dragging purposes the
roads would be kept in condition so
that the maximum mileage would come
out of every tire placed on a Grundy
county car. That would mean total
expenditure Of $4,000 a year. Are car
owners who are taxpayers justified in
asking that this $4,000 be spent Ju-
d!ciously to save them an unnecessary
expense OF $4,000.
Rough roads are not only tire con-
suricrs They help to shorten the lie
of any car. $500. 900 worth Of cars run
en- smooth roads year will be worth
at least 10 per cent more tnan they
would he II the same cars were driven
the same mileage over rough and
poorly kept roads. There is another
item of 100000 TO be charged up
against bad roads. There is also an
other item Of time. A rough road is
time consumer and time to as busy
a people az we have here is worth
money and much of 1t.
Grundy county land Is a good IN
vestment. Good Grundy county ROADS
are a better investment and we must
have them.

.ItRIEs, NOT LAWS.


BiXby's acquittal in Los Angeles and
the fate of Diggs and Cam" Is per-
haps a good illustration of the differ
ence between state and federal laws
Marshalltown Times Republican.
The insertion OF that perhaps" as
a saving clause was happily thought.
There is in fact no certainty that the
difference between federal and state
law cut any figure in the cases cited.
Both were tried before juries. In Los
Angeles as we'll as in San Francisco
the prosecution seemed to be very
much in earnest. In both cases, IL
the contentious of the prosecution
were upheld, there was no question
that a law had been violated. In the
San Francisco case the jury rendered
a verdict strictly in accord With the
instructions of the court. BY this YER
diet the courts Interpretation of the
Mann law was accepted. and the de-
PENDANTS were found guilty. In the
Los Angeles case the courts instruc-
tons pointed 10 the conviction of the
defendants for viola ton of state
law But the Los Angeles jury eXeF-
cised its own judgment and acquitted
the defendant In the San Francisco
case the court strained a point OF law
TO make possible the conviction OF the
defendants. In the Los Angeles case
the law was clear, but the jury
strained point OF fact in order to
acquit the defendant In each case
the jury was the determining factor
Some comments on the Los Angeles
case intimate that the wealth OF the
defendant operated in his favor. But
in the San Francisco case THIS same
condition served as a handicap rather
than help. The expectation was
that this would prove true in Los An
giles. Long range observation indi-
Gates that the Los Angeles verdict was
based on conviction that the the prose-
cution was the elimination OF black
mailing plot gone wrong. i the
defendant was guilty of the oHense

which the complaint was filed should
cut TO figure with the jury. But jur-
ors are human. and human beings
