the Initiative taken some time ago by
Governor Clarke in calling the confer

substantially, the same, but only In ac-
cordance with the approved plans OF
the highway commission. All culverts
will be located and sizes figured BY the
county engineers and have bench
marks placed. thereon to aid. In ,estab-
fishing grades.
THE bill contemplates, In general,
the establishment Of permanent plan
for road Improvement and maintc-
nance. Each locality or county can
do the work needed by that county. II
ready for hard surfacing they may do
that, or IL they have gravel and wish
to gravel the roads there is nothing
to hinder them from doing that. In
all instances they expend only the
money of the county.
1T is arranged that expert help is
to aid in the planning. and establish
ing and building Of roads. bridges and
culverts wherever done, and that ex-
pert supervision shall be given to all
road enterprises from the top down.
Contracts are safeguarded and expen-
ditures must be accounted for in a
Object. Sought.
Certain newspapers object to the
bill because the county board is given
charge of the county highways. The
committee thought this a better ar
rangcment than to have it done by the
state commission. 1t Is better to have
the county boards In charge OF the
work than to centralize the power In
any highway con1nission.. The papers
say that the commission supervision
and control sufficient to insure uni
formity and quality and that the worS
be done in accordance with pans
adopted by tho commission.
Under the centralized Plan advo-
Gated by these newspapers 1t was
feared by the people that the commits
sion would have authority to build
roads in the state and expend thereoa
funds that may be provided therefor so
that hard surface roads could be made
by the state, Highway. commission at
the expense of the state. The bill is
drawn so this can not be done. The
money raised In q county will be spent
by the county On the reads in TIE

provided they conform to the speciiica-
tions provided by the highway com
mission"

Specia! to Times Republican
pes Moines, March 3.-one Of the
most advanced OF the members of the
legislature on the propaganda for a
better road law and start toward a
good system Of administration of the
highway funds is Senator Frank r.
Jones of Mills county, strong bust
mes man with much legislative exper-
fence in connection with road work.
Senator Jones has been one of the sub
committee engaged in the effort to
bring together the score Of conflicting
opinions among legislators and their
constituents to the end that some sort
of better read saw could be adopted as
the foundation of the system to be
added to and developed by subsequent
legislation. He has given a great dca!
OF time to the matter. He introduced
bill which had some excellent fel-
lures embodied in the committee bill.
He will make a fight on the floor for a
beginning and will follow it UP with a
fight for the other committee bills
which have been agreed upon for state
aid and the securing of greater funds
for road building.
Aims OF the Measure.
Before leaving for his, home Senator
Jones made a careful analysis of the
bill so far as comcleteG, saying:
'The hil,, provides for the appoint
n1ent of 'stste highway commission
to be composed of three men. one ap-
pointed by the college at .Ames and che
other two by the governor. The COM
nissioners appointed by the governor
receive $40 per day, not to exceed 3l,cG;'
each for the first year and $500 each
for each year thereafter. The COM
mission IS largely advisory. but has
certain powers Which may be sum
married. as follows:
"To investigate. They are to take
the initiative in investigating the vlo-
lations and neglect Of duties of all OIL
ficers, including county boards anc
township trustees. and report same to
the attorney general if any such officer
refuses or neglects his duty.
"To approve They are to approve
maps, and make corrections in same,
made by county boards in classifying
