CASE PAR EXAMPLE.

In Jasper county recently, man was
yentenced to the penitenitary upon a
showing that he had refused to at
tempt to support his family, had per-
mitted his wife to earn the living and
had himself taken her earnings for his
pwn support and purposes. After re-
peated warnings the authorities took
up his case. Nobody cared to take a
chance by signing a bond with the fei-
low to insure compliance with the
terms on which ne might retain nis
fredom which include his duty toward

To the Iowa Legislature:

To the Iowa Legislature:
Gre Of the gIaring deficiencies in
tie committee road bill Is its absolute
paying Part of the cost Of hard sur
faced roa6s. in fact most OF the OBJ
jec,ons TO the bill proposed are due
to it's omissions OF the essential pro-
visions for permanent road building:
stale aid. county bond issues and
special Assessment: road Improvement
districts. Thirty states now give aid
Of some kind IN building permanent
roads. Minnesota pays half. New
York and MARYLAND build all of a state
road ard half of county road.
Massa chUsetts and Connecticut pay
three-fourths of the cost OF a state
road. New Jersey one-third, Maine
tive thirds. wisconsin one-third While
Michigan bonuses hard surfaced roads
at $500 pe- mile for gravel and $1,000
per mile for macadam or pavement.
Iowa should get in line with state aid.
Experience in all these states has
shown ihat aid from the state will en-
courage counties to DO permanent road
building which they would not have
cone unatded and in Wisconsin where
the state pays one-third the cost,
which is the average, every county in
the state excepting three is now on
file with its application for next sum-
mer's state aid and is willing to pay
the two-tnirGs in order to get the
states one-t third.
Aid from the state is scientifically
sound and justifabie as declared by the
courts in paving cases. The supreme
courts OF several states have laid down
the rule that there is a distinct benefit
to the whole public in street improve
ment as well as to the nearby vicinity
and to the property abutting the i'm
prcvement. In the case OF main
travelled highway the rule as TO pubic
benefit would mean the benefit TO the
state or to the nation while the vicinity
benefit would naturally be the county
benefit and the special property benz
fit would be the benefit to the farms
whose owners could use TIE main
Travelled road as trunk line OF traffic
to and from their market town. The
state should give aid in permanent
i road building so as TO encourage anc
promote the movement and also be-
cause there is a distinct benefit 10 the
| whole state in improved highways
which the state should pay. The
average is one-third and State En-.

The average legislative prayer is
nothing more or less than graft OF

ONCE IN A WHILE.

There is general demand over Iowa
that county records should be exam
ined once in while by expert &C
countants. This is no more than IS
due the tax payers. Several counties
have had it done and in most cases
irregularities have been discovered.
We do not believe any dishonesty ex-
lists in the court houses OF Iowa as
a rule. but there are exceptions. lax
payers will be better satisfied to have
the records audited and 1t would be
safeguard toward more careful and
honest work Up in kossuth county

the supervisors and employed expert
accountants TO go thru the books.

MR.. gRocKwAY's STAND.

Mr.. Brockway can readily win APP
plause from a meeting Of township
trustees and county supervisors by
assailing state supervision Of road
building But the very men who ap-
plaud him know that the township
system is inadequate. and that the
county board is not the body to have
the final word about roads.
To the extent of his influence hF
Brockway is blocking progressive
movement that means more for Iowa
than any agitation of recent years. He
will do everything in his power to get
a half way measure thru the lesls-

expressed in his letter to George Long

failure of this legislature will be the

touch with each other through

ate approval, following it's an
nouncement yesterday. Early to-
day the Times received a number
of applications from suburban
and other nearby farmers, dairy
men and chicken ranchers asking
that their names be placed in the
list which is to be printed in this
paper for the benefit of city resi-
dents who may desire to order
their supplies direct from the pro-
Queer.
THE Times plan if carried

operation of it's city and country
readers ought to eliminate the
middleman' rakeoff and reduce
the cost of farm products by that
amount. The postage ON the par
cells will not be more than the
cost of freight and delivery under
the old scheme, SO the saving will
amount to at least as much as
the middleman now takes as
profit.
When the plan is in operation
it will be easy for Mrs. House
wife of Sixth avenue or anywhere
else in Tacoma to get her butter,
eggs or chickens. She will step
