FOR BETTER GRADS CROSSINGS

State Highway Commissioner j. w
Holden is laboring with the railway
companies of the state to secure a
grade crossing change which, if adopt
ed. will save many lives.
At great number of such cross
ings, the highway slants steeply up
to the railway track on one side. and
steeply down from it on the other side
1t has been found that in many cases
automobile drivers over estimate the
power of their cars and in making the
ascent to the railway tracks "kill'
their engines so that they stop right
on the track 1t was precisely this
sort of case which RESULTED in the
death of the two beautiful daughters
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley. of Nashville,
Tenn, during the past summer, be-
tween Ralston and Glidden.
The plan proposed is that in cases
where the railway crossing has a
greater elevation than the highway,
the railway company shall extend their
grade on level to the edge of the
right of way, so that instead of a
steep incline, with the railway track
at its apex, there shall be level road
over the entire 100 feet of the right of
way with the track or tracks crossing
the center thereof. This will place
the ascent to the railway grade 80 to
so feet from the tracks, and greatly
lessen the danger mentioned.
There are thousands of crossings of
this type in Iowa, and it means a vast
expense to the railway companies. But
they are we'll aware that every acct
dent means suit for damages against
them, and they can see the point of
proposition which will save them
both money and trouble in the long
run.
Mr.. Holden received last week let
ter from Superintendent Hammil Of
the Northwestern. stating that his

be credited still 'l,!ds them under ar
rest. 1t is quite evident that the
drastic action on the part of Huerta
was taken as a matter OF self defense
for it has been understood for sew.
eral days that the legislature had in
hurried to beat his enemies to it and
the soldiers of Huerta are now in con-
troll of the capital and everything is
subject to his dictation. 1t is pre-
dicted that no election free from riot
and bloOdshed can be held on the 26th
OF October to select a president and
whether the election will be held is
questionable. In case no election is
held Huerta no doubt will enjoy hold
ing on as dictator, but he will be able
to test the truth of the words of the
wise man who said Uneasy rests the
brow that wears a crown" 1t looks
now that crisis had been reached in
the affairs of that unfortunate coun-
try and that this or some other gov
eminent will be compelled to inter-
vene in order to protect the lives and
property of foreigners. 1t is ques-
ton if there is security for the lives
and property of Americans while 4
form of government exists, and if this
is so, what may be expected in case
all semblance of control is removed
and anarchy obtains. There is no
doubt but what American interests in
Mexico have suffered to the, extent of
millions of dollars since Madero was
oyerthrown and assassinated and that
a number of lives have been sacri-
does not seem inclined to take the
step which will insure the protection
of the lives and property of American
citizens in that country. 1t is said
that the government at Washington
is Watching with great concern the
recent developments in Mexico and
will be prepared to act in any emer-
gency. We sincerely hope the
present administration may prove
able to deal with the questions now
confronting us and will not hesitate
to send an armed force if necessary to|
protect the lives of our citizens in
that country. We have no more inter-
est in one faction than another en-
we do favor a suppression of the
riotous conditions which prevail and
if the United States army is neces-
sary to stop the bloodshed and muir
der of Americans in Mexican terri .ory
then let the army be marched into
Mexico. The whole country has
watched this exhibition long enough
and now we say let order and de-
cency be restored by force if neces-
sary.
The latest information is that Ger
many is sending a battleship to Mex
lean waters and that England will do
the same thing

Little Navy" out of Politics.

Three battleships next year and two
battleships year thereafter is the
naval expansion program to which the
Wilson administration is said to have
been committed by Secretary Daniels.
The statement is that President Will
son will submit this naval program.
plus demand for a government
armor plate factory. for the approval
of his entire cabinet and with that
approval it will be offered as an ad-
ministratiOn policy. If this prediction
is verified, as it doubtless will be. it
will mean the disappearance of the
small navy issue as a factor in current
politics.
The democratic party seemingly
made bid for distinction as a little
navy party when the democratic ma
jority in the last house would consent
to an appropriation for only a single
battleship. The reduction in expendi-
lures was defended on the score of
economy, although there was good
deal of scoffing over the allegation
that the democratic determination to
squeeze the navy was not reached un-
til after the appropriation for public
building pork" had been cut off. Al
though curtailment of the naval ap-
preparations was declared to be only
temporary. Little navy advocatts
brought pressure to bear on President
Wilson to adopt one battle ship a year
as permanent policy. The failure
of this campaign is indicated in the
present announcement that the pres
ident will not only support two battle
ships next year, but will go back and
pick up the battleship dropped out of
the program last year.
Politically President Wilson stands
to gain without possibility of loss, by
refusing to identify his administration
with the little navy movement. The
republican party was firmly committed
to the two battleships year program,
which it advertised as part of the
plan to expand the navy to fixed
standard and thereafter to maintain
that standard. The progressive party, |
under the leadership of Colonel Roose-
welt, is naval expansion party. While
the colonel was in the presidency he |

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

"The corn husking army will soon be
marching across the fields OF Iowa The
rattle Of the golden ears against the
sideboards will be mighty welcome
fusillade, too" comments the Ames
Times.
'The secret party caucus is not the
best method to use in writing new
currency law" the Davenport Times
thinks.
",The American people spent $780,
100000 at moving picture shows last
year, which. by the way, is part of the
cost of living" explains the Boone
s-Republican.
The Marion Register suggests the
following as an appropriate title for
the tariff law: IAN act for lighting the
fires in the European factories and
banking them in American factory and
mill"
"A Montreal paper" observes the
Davenport Democrat, with sense of
humor that certainly is not British.
suggests that with Theodore Roosevelt
as their guest. the South American re-
publics ought to feel the need of their
usual spring revolution next year."
-
When Turkey can borrow 100000
900 from an American syndicate there
ought to be chance for most any of
us, observes the Ida County Pioneer.
They are making more machines
than they are making men
who can run them" says the Ida
Grove Pioneer.

tax which is now in force. We sub

much taxes will have to be paid by
people of certain income, and desire
to suggest that it will take in a great
many more people than was at first
supposed, and if the tax is paid in all
cases where it should be paid large
amount 'of money will reach the treas

take up with him at an early date the
matter of making the changes men

LEGISLATURE DISSOLVED.

Conditions in Mexico seem more
complicated than at any time in the
past The latest move on the part of
President Huerta in dissolving the
legislature is one of the most sensa-
tional and perhaps far reaching move

Huerta came into power. The presi-
