Davenport. May 15-Fishing in the
Iowa streams which empty into the
Mississippi river above the keokuk
dam is likely to grow poorer in the
years to come.
Schools Of bass, croppics. catfish.
! pike, buffalo and many other species
running into the tens of thousands
are vainly butting their heads against
| the keokuk lam in response to their
spring migratory impulse to run up
stream. Such is the report brought
back to Davenport by a party OF ex-
cursionists who visited the lam last
week on the steamer Helen Blair
Waldo Becker, assistant county a.
torney, was one of the party who
made the trip.
Il never SOY so many fish before in
my life" said Mr.. Becker today in re-
counting the sight Looking DOWN

Captain Blair said the only Oppor-
tunity the fish had to achieve their de-
sire was when a steamer passed
thru the locks. The moment the lock
gates were opened the fish rushed int
the lock and when the steamer was
raised to a higher level swan out INFO
the river. The submerged lock gates

many fish. On the gate only six feet

BENNINGTON, VT, MAR. 80, 1914.

The Banner has letter from a cor
respondent living on the fats stating
that some of the expensive new road
work put in above the Governor Rob
inson bridge last year has been wash
ed out because of neglect this spring,
We have not investigated and do not
know the extent OF the damage but
the point is that ii is pretty poor bust
ness policy not to take care of pub
lie property of any kind One of the
reasons for heavy town and village
expenses in every town in Vermont
has been the fact that business is
carelessly and eXtravagantly, rather
than dishonesty, done. This applies
particularly to the matter of roads.
Most Vermont towns have spent
enough on their roads during the past
$50 years to have first-class highways
everywhere. OF course, the distribu-
ton of the money over long term
of years is the chief reason for the
failure to achieve better results, but
not a little is due to not taking care
of a good piece of road which has
cost lot of money. If a man who
has a comfortable home should me-
glect to repair a hole in his roof and
should allow the storms to beat in I'M
til his home and furniture were des-
troyed, we should call that man
fool, yet that is practically what the
towns, cities and villages do in their
public business. AS far as the roads
question is concerned, our system is
wrong We should hire our road com
missioners instead of electing them.
1t often happens that some neighbor
ing town like SALISBURY, Stamford or
Hoosick develops good road builder
or more than one, and that through
the exigencies of politics or local frc
ton he is not employed in his home
town. Bennington or any other town
ought to have the right of hiring chat
pany hires an engineer, or a manufac
turing concern engages bookkeeper
Our silly system of electing a man 10
do work with which he is often not
familiar is not justified by the fact
that the men elected may be a good
citizen, honest and well-meaning
Come TO think of it, too, why should
we draw the line at road commission
err. Why shouldn't we hire men to
fill all places requiring special know
ledge and ability instead of electing
men whose intentions are Of the best,
but who, fully half the time. neglect
their duties or make mistakes?
