BETTER ROADS BILL.
State Aid for Permanent High.
ways to Be Urged in Measure
ASK POWER TO ISSUE BONDS
Senator Head viii Urge Enactment
OF Law To Permit Counties to An
ticipate Taxes for Needed
improvements.

Des Moines.-State aid for perman-
emit roads is one OF the principal feat
ures Of a good roads bill which Is be-
ing prepared by Senator Francis A.
Head of Cedar Rapids. The measure
may not be introduced into the senate
untn several weeks after the commit
tee announcements are made.
There are three distinct features OF
the proposed Head bill. The first
would give counties power to issue
bonds, upon the vote OF the people, to
anticipate the road taxes for periods
from ten to thirty years for road i'm
provement work. The second provis-
ion would permit the establishment
Of road improvement districts for con-
structing hard surfaced roads, part of
the cost to be taxed to the abutting
property-the state and county to con.
tribute to the cost. The third section
provides for state aid for road build
ing, the money to be drawn from a
fund created by setting aside a por-
ton OF the automobile tax.
state aid in road building Is one
OF the means by which we can expect
to get country roads paved. I propose
that the fund shall be made up by
setting aside a portion OF the auto
mobile tax. The state is now collect
ing over 100000 in auto fees. As a
start toward the state road fund,
100000 might be set aside. We
would have the fund then. without
burdening the people with extra taxa
ton. There always has been and per-
haps always will be objection to the
present distribution OF the auto tax.
The counties which pay in the most
money want to get back sum in the
same proportion. but by distributing
the tax by townships this is not pos
sible.

the mulct law. I am for prohibition
as soon as It can be brought about.
There are members Of the senate,
however, who feel that the people
should get a chance to vote on abb
soiute prohibition before anything
else Is done.
THE senate is 'drier' this time
than 1t has ever been before. I think
that the 'drys' have q safe majority.
They win demand that all temperance
measures be given consideration on

SPACE ECONOMY IN THE HOME.
Increased Cost of Building Makes
Reduced Dimensions Necessary.

The increased cost of labor and ma
terials has forced many builder to
reduce the dimensions of his proposed
home. and in doing this he adds ma
terfally to the problems of the archi-
tect In planning the small buildings
every inch Of available space must be
utilized, adapting it TO some special
Use. says writer in the Real Estate
Magazine. The result is that the large
structure with its ample closets. store
rooms and halls has given way to a
great extent to the bungalow with its
built-in furniture and other space-sav-
ing devices. This form of building is
increasing In popularity in the eastern
states from year TO year as the ideal
small home. 1t is, as q matter of fact,
the only kind OF small home that can
be given an attractive exterior and In
dividuality of design. and be erected
at d comparatively small cost
In the kitchenette of today are placed
cases, drawers. -four bin. baking count
ers and cupboards, which eliminate the
pantry and not only save valuable
space. but save steps. and are most con-
venient to the housewife The con-
struction of the refrigerator in the
wall OF the house Is another space
results. Ice can be furnished the re-
frigerator from the outside of the
house. and a door In the kitchen. flush
with the inner wall, gives access to
the ice box from the inside. Another
great space saver is a new style of bed
which may be folded up and awsahg
IN closet when not In use. This
type of bed allows the room to be used
,s a living room. library, or den" dur
ing the day. and as a sleeping chamber
~ night, thus doing away with one
bedroom. The closet may serve as d
dressing room.

Special knowledge Required.

While the principles of design and
proportion are common to both the
art Of design and that Of decoration,
a special knowledge of textiles. fur
niture. etc, is necessary to the sue
cessful decorator and furnisher Of in
teriors, that all architects have prob
ably not taken the time to acquire
in detail. 1t is true, however, that
there is an increasing number of ar
chitects to whom the work of design
ing and selecting furnishings is MAX
ing strong appeal This is evidenced
in many ways. one Of which is by the
number of manufacturers who are find
ing it worth their while to direct the
architects attention to their products
The primary reason for this profess
sional interest in furnishings and dec
orations is that it constitutes a leei'i
mate and important part Of the archi-
tect's work as has been indicateu, "a.
the more direct one is probably an
outcome Of the desire on the part Of
clients on the one hand to have their
homes conveniently and correctly fur.
nished. and on the part Of architests
on the other. to complete the picture
they have undertaken to produce, and
not leave 1t to be finished by unsym-
pathetic or untutored hands.

MORE INTEREST TAKEN
IN INTERIOR FURNISHING
Work of Architect Not Finished
When Exterior Is Com
pleted.

Recognition OF the. fact that the
work of the architect is by no means
finished when the structure of the
building is completed and the exte-
rior has received it's allotted treatment
is becoming more general each year
says the American Architect. The
completion Of the interior furnishings
and decoration is undeniably an essen
tial part of his work, and to be
brought into complete harmony with
his original conceptions must obvious
ly be executed under his direction
The field OF interior decoration and
furnishing is, however. a broad one
requiring close study, and one that is
primarily, more concerned with the
comfort, ease and the qualification OF
the artistic senses of those who are to
inhabit the building in question than
with the more fundamental problems
of design and construction.
Evening star., 1915-11-20
Should Obtain Assistance.

Where an architect does not possess
the requisite technical knowledge of
ia brics and furn ture properly and
completely to decorate and furnish a
building he has designed, it is obvious
that he should recognize his limita-
tions in the interest of his art, and
be sufficiently frank with himself, even
If not with his client, to acknowledge
his inability and call to his assistance
some Of the specialists in interior dec
oration and furnishing who. If they
do. perchance. lack in artistic concep-
ton. can at any rate readily supply
the technical information required by
the architect. In such cases the ideal,
in fact only proper, relation between
the architect and the decorator re-
serves for the former the function OF
general artistic adviser, and treats the
decorator as one versed in furnishing
and decoration, collaborating with and
working under the direction of the
specialists assist him in problems of
est aid in reaching such an arrange
ment must come as result of closer
attention and study given by the archi-
tect to the subject of decorative fur
nishing, while the decorator, in order
more fully to appreciate the architects
viewpoint and requirements. must give
greater study to the architecture OF
the buildings to be treated. During
the past decade we have seen much
progress toward this common ground.
