DON'T CUT THE AUTO TAX.

It is. to be hoped hat the good roads
discourage the secretary Of state from
advising that the automobile tax be
reduced and collected by the counties
for county use. Nothing could be more
discouraging for permanent road build
ing in Iowa. The result would be that
automobiles would pay very little tax
and the auto owner would not even get
back in road improvement what he
pays for.
In Marshall county, for instance, a
board Of supervisors of retired farmers,
believing that it was their sworn duty
to prevent county funds being spent
when It discovered $4,000 or more COM
ing from the state in automobile taxes
promptly reduced the county road fund
levy BY an equal mount. Thus in
Marshall county automobiles are pay
ing SO per annum each in taxes and
all other property is being relieved of
tax for the county road fund by an
equal amount
If the secretary of states idea pre-
walls the Marshall county practice will
become general and the purpose of
getting ahead in the matter of road
improvement will have been thwarted.
Let the auto tax be kept up as high
as it now is or higher, but place all of
the money in q state road fund, under
the supervision of a state highway
commission to be expended for state
aid as a bonus or inducenent to the
localities to levy special taxes for per-
manent roads. The overhead expense
Of collecting the tax could be placed
with the county tax collectors and saw
the state thousands Of dollars of ex-
pense. The local officers would actu-
ally collect the auto tax more thor
oughly than the state can, but turn all
of the money into a state oad fund
and give the automobiles something to
show for his money. The gun license
had better go there, too.

would seem dubious policy to furnish

FULL REPORT OF THE LEGISLATURE.

The Times-Republican has stationed
two w~ide-awake and experienced
newspaper men at the legislature in
Des Moines to give a full report Of the
entire winters session. One reporter
will cover the house and one the SEN
ate, and each days proceedings will be
wired to the Times-Republican for
publication on the same day. This will
give the people Of central Iowa, who
are fortunate enough to be reading a
great state daily like the Times-Re-
publican, as full and complete news Of
their lawmakers and state officers as
will be found in any Des Moines news
paper, for two reporters on the state
house assignment are all hat any Des
Moines newspaper will provide.
In addition to this legislative report
the Times Republican will continue to
publish the local news of Iowa as no
other newspaper in the state does. For
has followed the policy Of giving its
readers a big newspaper of state news
ct a fair price so adjusted that the ad-
verfisers are not required to pay more
than half the cost and hence do not
re more than half the newspaper.
The publishers Of the -four daily
newspapers in Bridgeport, Conn, by
agreement, recently increased the price
OF their newspapers from 1 cent to 2
cents per copy, giving as their reason
that II the advertiser were required to
a. too great a proportion OF the cost
Of production too much Of the news
papers space would have to be given
to the advertiser at the expense Of the
reader and their newspapers could no:
be made what they ought to be to sat.
isfy their subscribers. 1t too these
publishers many years to find it out
but the problem is as simple as any
exiom in mathematics. If the cost OF
producing a newspaper is divided be-
tween two ources Of income. sub
scrfbers and advertisers, the space II

TITLES TO REAL PROPERTY.
TCouncll Bluffs Nonpareil.l

The local real estate exchange has
touched a vital need in its resolutions
asking for a simple, safe and uniform
method OF making transfers OF real
estate. The present method Of trans
fer is cumbersome and inefficient ana
is becoming more SO with passing
years.
Real estate men come in contact with
this situation daily. They find many
pieces Of property with titles so clouded
that their value is seriously impaired
as a result. The most important con
sideration with most purchasers OF
property is a clear title. Let the real
estate man suggest that there is ever
a doubt as to title n his customer
Is gone. The reason for this Is appar-
ent. The cloud on the title may be
only a cloud. There may be no sha-
dow Of substancs--to the flaw so far
as the interest Of some other party
is concerned. But there Is grave
doubt as to cost Of clearing the title
It must pass thru the courts. There
will be the fee Of the attorney. Their
is the chance that some n will APP
pear to contest. The whole situation
with reference to clouded title is
summed up in the statement Of the
average purchaser that he does no.
care to buy a law suit.
The need is for a system Of trans
fers which clear themselves. The Tor
rens system of transfers in use in
Canada and some of our own states is
an efficient remedy for present evils
In this system all titles to real prop
erty are issued by the state. And
in these cases there is no going be-
hind the returns. A deed from the
state is final.
The present system Is typ!aed by the
story Of the Swede who when he pur-
chased q farm asked the former owner
to give him a mortgage. When hes sell
Ter insisted that what Ole wanted was
a deed and not a mortgage Ole shook
his head and sagely observed thai he
once held a deed for a farm and an
other fellow held a mortgage and tn.
ether fellow got the farm in the con-
test between the two.
