Simplifying Auto Licenses.

The Marshalltown Times-Republi-
can objects to the present automobile
law. The idea of asking every man
''to go to Des Moines" for his num-
Der is called prepOsterOus. I'VE
might as we'll ask all Iowa to go to
Des Moines for it's mall The Mar
shalltown paper suggests no substi-
tute. The fact that we have to go
to Des Moines may be due to the 9TH
er fact that that city happens to be
the capital of the state. If numbers
are to be given out they ought to be
by the state, so that track may be
kept of them. County numbers
would be meaningless for it would be
tumble of ninety-nine different
kinds of them.-Cedar Rapids Re-
publican.
proposed. The number plates could
be bought by the state and issued in
consecutive numbers by the state,
but consigned in bulk, 1000 to each
county auditor, we'll in advance OF
the date when needed. The auditor
could issue the license in triplicate,
sending the third copy TO Des Moines
for record and hand the number
plates out over the counter instanter.
The money would stay at home
where it originated and no man
need go farther than the court house
for his number plates. The state
could record the licenses at it's lei
sure. When anybody knew of car
running without license he could
phone the county auditor.
The Republican, however, has dis
covered something while cropping
around in the dark when it suggests:
But the law might be better chang
ed in other directions. For instance,
the distribution of moneys. We can
not think of it otherwise than under
the present system it is largely frit-
tered away Instead of going into
the general road taxes-tO reduce
usual taxes. The automobile tax
ought to be especially invested in
roads. The automobile tax ought to
be tax in extraordinary and the
funds raised by it ought to be put
ito special construction work. Sup
pose we devoted that million and a
half year to building certain num-
bers of miles of good roads. We could
build 1875 miles a year with 1t and in
Il two years We could have highway
across the state.
In Michigan they use the auto
money as a bonus from the state to
encourage the counties to issue bonds
and build hard surfaced roads. In
Ohio, where more roads are graveled
and paved now than twice the county
road system of Iowa, they use the
auto money exclusively for repairs to
hard surfaced roads. In our state
we could devote all of the auto mon
ey to hard surfaced construction and
| if it were done we could increase the
auto license by petition among auto
owners -Marshalltown

Early Iowa Governors.

October 9Th is the one hundred
and thirty-fifth anniversary OF the
birth of John Chambers, who was the
second governor of the territory OF
Iowa. He was born in 1880 at Burnt
Mills, New Jersey, and when he was
fourteen years of age he moved with
his fathers family to Kentucky. Here
he in time became prominent in legal
and political circles, and was chosen
to represent the state of his adoption
in the lower house of congress. In
lS41 he received the appointment as
governor of the territory of Iowa to
succeed the venerable Robert Lucas.
1t was position for which he was
we'll fitted by ability and experience
"The story of John Chambers says
John c. Parrish in biography pub
lished by the State Historical Society
of Iowa, reaches from the coast
state of New Jersey during the revo-
lutionary war out through the state
of kentucky in the time of its early
settlement and growth to the pioneer
territory of Iowa in the days when
it was making awkward but positive
strides toward statehood. To the
state of Kentucky he gave more than
forty years of his active life; to the
territory of Iowa less than five. Yet
these scant five years constitute the
most useful period of his public err
vice" After his removal from the
office of governor in 1845 he return
ed to Kentucky, where he died In
1852.
