good roads department at Washington
has urged upon Superintendent Deyoe
that good dates be given Miss BigeloW
She viii go into other states as well
as Iowa and try out this newest phase
of preaching the doctrine of good roads.
Iowa was selected for a start because
of the recognition that Iowa is going
faster than almost any other state in
educational lines and because her work
is right in line with the policy in
school matters that has been SO we'll
developed here.
There are eighty candidates for oil
inspectors in Iowa. which indicates that
800 month jobs are somewhat in de-
mand out in the state. There are four
teen places to be filed. The terms Of
the present incumbents expire June 80
next
NJ. H. Byers, OF this city, is chief oil
inspector and gets $3.50 a month, He
has a distric, and makes inspections
the same as others, but passes on the
work of the others He was adjutant
general under Shaw and Cummins.
Governor Clarke has not as yet taken
up the matter of the appointments that
are TO be made for the biennial period
com m encing July but probably will DO
SO soon. The inspectors at present are
all veterans Of the civil war
A peculiar situation has been found
in regard to certain of the road taxes
and this is explained in the new high
way book. Some years ago it was pro-
vided that half of the road tax be
worked out" in the old way, in ad
vance, this being a concession to the
reactionary clements in, the state. In
some counties this advance working
OUT Of the road tax is kept up. Now
when it comes to getting back to a
system where it is all cash. some
counties will have to lose half years
taxes out of the road fund in order to
get squared arouSd to the cash basis.
When they started the system they
gained half year; now they will
have to lose it to get back again. 1t
Will cause Some embarrassment in some
counties where working the roads to
pay taxes was still followed.
Commissioner Trick, of the state "a
Dor bureau, has had numerous calls
for copies of the new Iowa law on com
pensation to workinen for injuries III
industries. but finds that he can not
get a copy without paying the secre-
tarv Of state % cents therefor. lnas
much as some of the requests come
from departments in other states tina.
have shown especial favors to the Iowa
department. Mr.. Trick has in severa.
cases paid for the book and sent it
out. Some one with an eye to revenue,
or to the discredit of the law has
pls ced in the bill a clause providing
that the state should charge % cents
for each copy Of the Ia" sent ont. !
