loWA,s RUBBER Ire TAX.

The secretary of state has purchased
1854 pairs OF auto number plates for
next year an increase Of nearly so per
cent over the number al frs, ordered
for this year. 1t is now believed that
100. 600 machines will be licensed n
this state this year and that next year
there will De at least $4,000 If not
more.
Thus We now have in sight for Iowa
one automobile for every two farms,
one automobile for every mile Of high
way within the state. This summer
our rubber tire tax for the tires used
on our automobiles will cost US three
times as much as our county road tax
or about the same as all Of our road
and road dragging taxes combined.
The cars now licensed in Iowa would
hold a, one time every voter who voted
in the last presidential election in this
state BY crowdins the children lit
tie they would carry one-,hird OF the
population of Iowa TO the San Fran
cisco exposition on one trip.
! One voter In FIVE now owns an auto.
Two others out of every FIVE expect
! to own autos soon and the two re-
| naming are wondering whether auto
mobiles will ever become cheap enough
for a poor man to own.
If we license $4,000 automobiles
next year and we will probably do
more than that they will represent at
an average Of $40 each an investment
Of s1o5,oo0.ooo and this same amount
of money which we would then have
! invested in automobiles would pave
every mile of the county road system
in every county in Iowa with concrete.
The road would last thirty years, but

MILK IN WATERLOO.


The committee appointed by Water
loo citizens to investigate dairy con-
ditions has made some valuable find-
ings. Among these Is joker in our
present milk ordinances permitting
liquid to be sold with as many as 1907
600 900 bacteria In a cubic centimeter
or about A teaspoonful OF milk. It
might be said even in behalf OF the
bacteria that this is crowding them
unnecessarily One billion OF the ycrea-
lures IN bahy's stomach would make
considerable Of a battle. II we do not
intend to protect baby's life why waste
SO many bugs?
There Is only one way to make sure
Of pure dairy product. That Is to see
that care is exercised in the prepare
ton Of milk for market. And the oni,
way to make sure that such care Il
taken. without posting an inspector a
each dairy. is to test the results. The
best ordinance in the world can no.
