Council Bluffs, Nov. 25.-While there
Is scarcely any disposition to criticise
the new highway law in this section,
most of the officials behaving that
strict enforcement Of the law will ac-
complish much good. there is an ocea-
sional critic of the law. and one of the
few has started out to take test case
thru the courts. The constitutionality
Of that phase of the law requiring the
approval of the county engineer OF
all bills for permanent work. has
been brought into question by Joe
Wasser, of Avoca, who has brought
suit against County Auditor J. D. Han
nan to compel him to pay a bill Of this
kind. AS result Of the action the
highway commission has sent L. A.
Wilkinson, accountant for the commits
sion, and Division Engineer w. E. Will
liams here to check up the auditors
records with reference to this trans
action. The state will appear with
Auditor Hannah in the suit.
A Bono Of Contention.
The point involved has been most
criticised of any in the law. In this
instance the board OF supervisors al
lowed the claim but the engineer re-
fused to endorse 1t and the old claim Of
having been elected by the people and
responsible to them only, made by
members Of boards Of supervisors at
Atlantic and in this city last SUNNI r,
is revived. They claim that as the
county engineer Is a creature Of the
board Of supervisors he should be
amenable to them and not they to him.
The Wasser case. however it results in
district court. will be appealed.
First Case Of Kind.
The controversy arises over the pay
ment for culvert built under the SUI
pervision Of member Of the board Of
supervisors. It was needed Immediate

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. 25.-Governor
Clarke yesterday received the report
OF the arbitration board which handled
the Oskaloosa labor troubles; but has
not as yet had time to go over 1t and
express an opinion. There Is hope that
the parties to the controversy will ac-
cept the result when all It's provisions
are understood. 1t appears that arst
reports as to Its character were some
what misleading.
According to Commissioner Trick OF
the labor bureau the main feature OF
the decision was that the old contract
between the men and the company Is
in full force and effect, and as this old
contract provides for arbitration. II 1t
Is accepted the question OF wages must
be met by arbitration. The state area-
tration board decided that the sole
cause of the labor troubles was the re-
fusal Of the Mckinley interests to rec
ognize the shop men as a part of the
union.
If the men and the company accept
this last decision the men will 60 to
work and be reinstated and later there
will be an opening up OF the question
OF the sufriciency OF the wages paid
the men.

The RepubIic,s nanuars.

Henry George: The dangers to the
republic come not from without but
from within. What menaces her safety
is no armada launched from foreign
shores, but the gathering cloud of
tramps on her own highways. That
krupp is casting monstrous cannon and
that in C~herbourg and WoolWich pro-
~Jectiles of unheard of destructiveness
are being stored, need not alarm her,
but there is black omen in the fact that
Pennsylvania miners are working for
G5 cents a day. No triumphant invad-
ers can tread our soil until the blight
of great estates has brought failure
to the crop OF mem" If there be danger
that our cities blaze. it is from torches
lit in faction fights, not from foreign.
shells.
Against such dangers forts will not.
guard us, ironclads protect us, or
standing armies prove of any avail.
They are not to be avoided by Il
aping of European professionalism: they
come from failure to be true to that
spirit Of liberty which was invoked at
the formation of the republic. They
are only to be avoided by conforming
our institutions to the principle of free
dom.
For it is true, as was declared by
the ,hrst national assembly of France.
that Ignorance, neglect. or contempt.
of human rights are the sole cause Of.
public misfortune and corruption of
government"
Here is the conclusion of the whole
matter. That we should do unto others
as We would have them do unto us.
that we should respect the rights of
others as scrupulously as Wewould have
our own rights respected: it lis not q
mere counsel of perfection % indi-
lviduals. but 1t is the law to which We
must conform social institutions and
national policy il we would secure fhe
blessings OF abundance and peace.
