HARDING FbvORS
STATE EDITOR
viii Probably Have Bill Introduced
In the General Assembly Pro-
viding For 1
One.
WOULD SAVE MONEY
OFFICIAL Believes Incumbent Could
Save Money by Blue PencIlins
the Lengthy
Reports.
WOULD SAVE MONEY


Iowa should have state editor and
before the conclusion of the present
assembly he will cause to he intro
duced or place in the hands Of the
committee on retrenchment and re-
form bill providing for the creation
of such an office.
Tho plan Of the lieutenant governor
lis that the state editor should have
authority to edit, revise and condense
all reports of state departments before
they are sent to the state printer for
printing and binding. He believes that
{. competent editor could eliminate
from reports as they are now printed
enough superfuous language and i'm
material matter to many times over
pay the expense of the new office in
economy on printing bills and at the
same time give to the publications of
the state literary refinement that
many are now said to lack.
| The state printer Is paid according
to the amount of type he sets and it
/ is not his province to edit or cut down
any reports that are sent him. He
prints all given him. 1t Is claimed
that in some departments the matter
of reports has grown into an enormous
matter and included are essays,
speeches, and the like that are desired
/ printed for distribution.
Lieutenant Governor Harding has no
idea of in any way abridging the dis
termination of facts relative to Iowa
land its government, but he believes
all this information could be given In
a more compact form, IN manner
more pleasing to the reading public
and at much greater economy to the
state by the establishment of state
editor.
Harding Newspaper Man.
Previous to taking up the study Of
law, Lieutenant Governor Harding was
"a. newspaper reporter and learned the
value of the blue pencil in the matter
of economy in both space and money.
Another duty he would impose upoI
the state editor that would save the
state hundreds of dollars in another
!, way would be the correction OF the
!, journals In the senate and house dur
ing the session Of the legislature. I'm
der the present method the senate ant
house each day take from half t.
three-quarters of an hour for all thu
members to read the journals to flint
out If there be any mistake, and on
hundred and fifty legislators on pa,
from the state are taking valuable
time to do what one competent edo
I could do in an equal amount of time
Another duty for the state edito
! would be to assist members In tn
drafting Of bills, or at least review
: ing them before printed to state tn
subject matter In the shortest pos
sible way and correctly with referenc
: Ito rhetoric. Following rnr work of tn
:. session the state editor could super
: intend the printing OF the session laws
: and aid in the annexation of the cod
whenever legislative commission
created for that purpose.
That the lieutenant governors suf
gestion will find some considerable
is apparent. He is ex-officio presiden
Of the senate and appointed the sci
2 ators who compose the retrenchmen
and reform committee.

Judge Mcpherson Hurriss Final Settle
ment Of Defunct Road Affairs.
Special to Times Republican.
Des, Moines. May 27-Judge Nc
Pherson in federal court IL hearing the
matter of the final settlement Of various
small matters connected with the aban-
donment of the unused part OF the
Newton & Northwestern railraoad.
One of the interesting matters pre-
scented to him was question as to who
should pay for making an over crossing
at the Milwaukee junction in the north
part of the county. The Milwaukee
company insists that the cost Of lower
ing it's tracks should be paid for by
the receiver Of the defunct company;
but the state and those interested in
the old company take a different view.
Several land owners along the way
are moving TO compel the defunct
company or its receivers TO level down
the ground where the right OF way
has been abandoned and reverts to the
former owners
Judge Mcpherson hopes this week to
dispose Of all features connected with
this old litigation and end the re-
ownership for the road.
