Our Washington Letter.

A revision of the currency laws to
supplement the tariff legislation at the
present extra session of Congress is
assured. President Wilson has won
his point in pressing for a completion
of the legislative program, and the
most astute political observers agree
that the Presidents earnestness, as
evidenced by his masterful personal
appeal to Congress, will insure legis'
lative action, even though, as now
seems probable, Congress will be in ses.
sion until fall before the tariff and cur
rency bills are passed.
We are about to set them (the bust
ness men of the country free by re-
moving the trammels Of the protective
tariff, said the President in his address
to Congress. 1T is absolutely imper-
alive that we should give the business
men of the country banking and cur
rency system by means of which they
can make use of the freedom of enter.
prise and of individual initiative which
we are about to bestow upon them"
The administration law which has
been introduced in both Houses of Con.
gress provides for government control.
Eff orts to obtain representation on the
the federal reserve board by banking
interests failed, because administra-
ton leaders held that that would admit
of bank domination which would defeat
the aims sought. The Objectionable
features of the Aldrich bill
which we're calculated to put control of
the financial system under the allied
banking interests have been removed.
The bills no pending in Congress pro-
vide for governmental supervision of
the banking and currency system, and
administration leaders are confident
that not only will this be beneficial to
the country at large by preventing the
mobilization of money in the financial
centers, but that the majority of bank
ers, especially the small interior bank
ers. will find governmental supervision
their greatest safeguard, and that in
time the banks will invoke further
regulation by the government in the
interests of square deal, just as the
railroads to day are favoring further
extension of the jurisdiction of the, in.
terstate commerce commission, which
is the governmental agency regulating
their affairs. "
This discussion of the cure ncy ques-
ton has detracted from the interest in
the progress of the tariff lobby investi-
cation, but not until the country was
brought to realization of the truth of
President Wilson's charges that a lob
by, backed by unlimited money, was
at work in Washington using every
means in its power to defeat certain
provisions of the tariff bill. And the
Presidents action in driving the lob
byists out into the open halted the at
tempts to defeat the provisions of the.
tariff bill providing free sugar in three
years.
The revelations in connection, with
the attempts Of the sugar interests to
prevent the removal of the tariff on
this commodity by corrupting the news
channels and creating false public
opinion by the use of the unlimited

funds at the command Of the lobbyists

completely upset the plans of the sug-
ar interests. A correction of the abus.
es brought about by this investigation
is certain to follow. The circulation of
misinformation by government frank is
one of the things that will no longer
be tolerated.
Secretary of State Bryan, who is
necessarily dIscset in his public Ut
terances, but who utilizes his paper,
the Commoner, to express his views on
legislative matters, calls attention in
the current issue to one instance of the
wrongful use of the government frank
ing privilege. He was reviewing the
evidence which showed that Truman
G. Palmer, the sugar lobbyist had pre-
pared series of charts presenting an
argument against free sugar, which
was published as a senate document
under Senator Lodges frank, attain
ing circulation of 100000 copies.
Senator Reed in questioning Palmer
said:
1.-The mailing of this document, l
find, would cost five cents, and you,
therefore, saved SIG, 900 for your en-
ployers."
'I'm very glad to know it," replied
Palmer.
"But what about Senator Lodges
employer" asks Secretary Bryan.
''The saving of this SIG, 900 to this beet
sugar concern shifted the expense to
the government of the United States.
Mr.. Palmer rejoices over the saving to
his employers. Is there any reason
why a United States Senator should be
Indifferent to the interests of his en-
ployer?" The question admits Of but
one ans Wer.
The Bull Moose party's publicity bu-
reau has issued Statement declaring
that there has been secrecy in the pre-
paration of the tariff bill, and Wash
ington is inclined to be amused at the
charge because it is conceded on all
sides that there has been more news
matter printed about the pending tar
if bill than any in decade. The pa
pers have been full of the deliberations
of the Senate COMMITTEES in the con-
sideration of the tariff bill by section.
If there is a member of Congress who
has not given his views on the contents
of the tariff bill, and if there is a
schedule of the bill which hasn't been
written about until the newspaper men
men know it by heart. There is dis
position to believe the men in the Bull
Moose publicity bureau haven't been
reeding the newspapers.
The Iowa Democratic members in
Washington have been interested in
reports from Iowa as to the activity Of
the Progressive party members in
changing their party affiIiation from
the G. O.P. to the Moose partys. A re-
cent report SAID 1928 Odebolt voters had
filed notice Of a change Of faith, and
this was given out AZ the beginning of

third party for the election next year.

Better Acquaintance Tours.

Those "better acquaintance tours :
which are being made by the business
men of some of the larger communities
Of the state to the territory from
which they draw much of their trade
might be turned partially into good
roads tour; that is, while getting ac-
quainted with the people on the route
the tourists might watch the roads
rather thoroughly and later report as
to what roads need the most improve
ment. The best way 10 determine
what roads need repair or rebuilding
is to travel over the roads by auto
mobile and feel it. Thus, after going
over 20, 80 or 40 miles of the high
ways in their section the better ac-
quaintance tourists will be more OF
less well acquainted with road con.
litons and will be in a position tc
make some practical suggestions. Their
opinions would be Of some value tt

BRIDGE CONTRACTS LET.
Board of Supervisors Order Number
of Bridges Built Under New
Law.

At the meeting of the Board of Su-
pervisors last week representatives
of a number Of bridge and contract
ing companies were present from
various cities, to bid on the construc-
ton of bridges in Winneshiek coun-
ty. The Clinton Bridge Company
was successful in securing the con-
tract for the following bridges:
Clark, Fremont, $3,49O and con-
crete.
Thorsen, Pleasant, $500 and con-
crete.
Ellingson, Pleasant, $500 and con-
crete.
Riveland, Military, s6O5 and con-
crete.
Hildahl, Springfield, $3.50 and con-
crete.
Rovang, Springfield, $3.50 and
concrete.
Green, Bloomfield, $605 and con-
crete.
Hoye, Jackson, 1895, no concrete.
Above are all steel bridges, con-
crete abutments. All bids on con-
crete are $3.50 per cubic yard or
less.
The Marsh Engineering Co. of
Des Moines secured the following
new concrete bridges:
Mullaney, Orleans, $685..
Whalen, Burr Oak, $685..
Myrah, Military, $3.50.
Above bridges will be Of reinforc-
ed concrete, with substructures at
$3.50 per cubic yard.
The new plan of bridge letting will
undoubtedly prove saving to the
county. Contracts are for complete
construction as per plans and spec
fications. The Severson bridge in
Pleasant township was not contract
ed for on account of protests receiv-
ed which caused the board to decide
not to build this year.
