County money, county government and
county activities are all for the town
as we'll as for the farm population. The
town man pays his county tax the
same as the farm man. He also pays
a town tax besides but this is for the
things he gets from the town govern
ment which do not go to the farm
home.
And SO it should be at Newton. II
the fair grounds can be used for

public playground can be accommodate
ed include that worthy public service.
If the town schools can take in the
country around take it in. When bonds
are to be issued for paved roads that
shall lead into town take the town in
to the Improvement district. Don't let
the corporation line divide any worthy
public movement or service. The town
grew UP as a convenience for the coun-
try around. 1t is part of it and one
public is not distinct nor separate from
the other public. Get the idea that
county money and county property and
county officers should serve all the
people regardless of residence either
in town or on the farm.

PROGRESS RUNNING WILD.

It is very seldom that efforts to de-
lay or obstruct progress in the mat
ter of public Improvement can ever
find sympathy within the Times Re
publican office but at long range view
II would seem that the obstruction
lists in Mason City. who have knocked
out bond election for 100000 high
school, were entitled TO the best of the
argument.
Mason City is undoubtedly growing
and when it needs high school the
thing TO do is to build it but 100000
ought to build high school enough for
a town of $1,000 inhabitants.
1t would have been a far wiser plan
10 have paid some architect FOR a $780,
high school on nansr which could be
erected in units and then vote bonds
enough al this time to build for the
immediate needs OF the next ten years
In acquiring grounds It is well to
provide far into the future but school
houses can be extended as needed just
as factory buildings and otace blocks
are planned.
BY overreaching at Mason City the
danger now is that reaction viii set in
and no high school al all will be voted
at this time. The moral is for public
boards to be progressive. 70 build and
plan Tor the future but at the same
time TO use horse sense in doing it.

WILL A sraNDPArrER GET BY7

A Washington, D. c.. newspaper,
long affiliated with the Office holding,
reactionary class of republican leader
ship has polled public sentiment as
to the next republican nominee for
president and asserts that the nominee
Will be a standpatter. There is grave
danger that because Of industrial de-
preston the party leaders viii believe
that anybody can be elected on the re-
publican ticket and will insist upon
one OF the old gang being the nominee.
In this il would be we'll to take &C
count of the progressive sentiment
which rehelled at party outrage and
made possible, the election OF Wilson.
President Wilson, just now, is popular
within the republican and progressive
parties for keeping this nation out OF
war during very dangerous ana
troublous times. If prosperity returns
as il seems to be doing the dinner pail
can not be worked with its old time
force as a campaign argument ana
those republicans who left the party
once as a protest against bourbonism
will find it easier to do SO again.
Incidentally one republican who
leaves IN the next election and votes
for Wilson VIII count as much as two
who merely stepped of TO one side and
pocketed their votes for third party
candidate. There win be no third
party. OF progressive party ticket IN
the field next time. Il will be either
a progressive republican against the
democrats or it will be disciple OF re-
action against progressive republican
ism and the democrats. Wilson IS
bigger man today than the democratic
party and besides the protest that re-
suited in dividing the republican party
was a protest that was meant in dead
earnest.
The next presidential election VIII
come in a repu blican year if the party
does not fool away its opportunity.

WIPE OUT THE TOWN LINE.

An old controversy is on at Newton
which ought never to arise in any Iowa
town. but which exists in some form
and 10 some degree in almost every
county seat town or local metropolis
1t is the old false fear that there are
interests in the town not identical with
those Of the county at large.
1t seems that at Newton the fair
grounds offer advantages as public
park. Since the fair occupies the
grounds only one week out Of ffty-two
it is but natural that somebody should
grasp the idea Of opening ard improv
ing the fair grounds as a public park
Why not? Who owns a fair grounds
anyway? Is it not a place devoted to
public service? Is its service to be
confined to a clique or close corpora
ton or is it 10 be available for all? If
it is a good place for public park use
it for that purpose. This idea that
the farmer is one family and the
townspeople another and that the
county government and county prop
erty does not also belong to the town
is erroneous, narrow and detriment
to the greatest public good.
The average supervisor, who comes
TO a county board from the farm. car
ries with him a notion that it is his
function to stand guard over the farm
ers' tax money and prevent it going
to any interest in thetown. OF course
he will stand for the court house be-
ing built in town because that is for
his own convenience, and the county
Jail and county fair had better be
there, too, but beyond this ne harbors
a fear that the town is conspir!ng to
get the farmers tax money away from
him and he looks with suspicion upon
every suggestion which comes from
the alert and active business men q
the town.

IN A SALOON TOWN.


The Advertiser yesterday stated that
i. costs the taxpayers something like
$4,000 a year to maintain IN idleness
the inebriates, Migrants, moochers and
other offenders who are seat to the
county Jail from the various city
courts to serve sentences.
An investigation reveals the fact that
the actual cost for the first six months
of the present year was $2,455.50. Since
the beginning Of 1915. 207 persons have
been committed to the Jail for intoxi-
cation; Is for vagrancy; 16 for dis
turbing the peace and disorderly con-
drct; seven for assault and battery,
and two for participating in ARRAYS.
TIE sentences for intoxication were:
one for ave days; 81 for ten days:
u for fifteen days: Is for twenty days;
and "a for thirty days. This makes
total OF 3,7S5 days. For vagrancy the
total number Of days was SCI; for
disturbing the peace 305; for assault
and battery 200. and for ARRAY 60
days.
The total number Of days is 4,s11
during the six months. It costs the
taxpayers so cents day to board and
lodge each prisoner for one day. Thus
these taxpayers must pay $2.455.50 for
the entertainment Of these prisoners
during the first six months of the year.
In addition to this comes the court
costs, which average about $3.50 Tor
each prisoner. The police court officers
pay these fees back into the city treas
ury, as the police Judge receives .
stipulated salary. In the other courts,
however, the court officers receive the
fees. And the cost Of maintaininG Al
