TERMS:
DANGER IN DRIVING ROAD REFORM.

The Greater Iowa Association is out
away with Governor Clarke's hard
roads propaganda Instead of COM
mission which will go about a sys-
tematic study Of the experience in other
states with hard road construction and
the compilation of correct and depend
able information for subsequent legiS-
lature the Greater Iowa Association
would carry the whole state by storm
just as 1t did in erecting an Iowa
building at the exposition. The same
legislature which studiously provided
that mono OF its money could be used
to reimburse the Greater Iowa Associa-
ton and the same legislature which
came very near to passing the John
son bill is to be reconvened, stood up
in line and compelled to enact hard
roads legislation.
The plan is certainly a short cut to
results if it will work. but there is
grave fear that more patience, larger
effort upon education and less upon
the German drive business will build
hard roads faster in the end.
The Times Republican can not be
suspected of any desire TO procrasti-
nate hard roads reform but it has grave
fears of the success of any campaign
other than that of reason and educa-
ton and Governor Clarke's plan of a
commission which will first compile the
information and then present 1t to the
state at large and to the legislature
holds forth the greatest promise of re-
suits. We may have a dry summer
next year and lose our interest but if
we can approach a new legislature free
from the prejudices OF a former fight
and lay before it the experience of
other states in hard road building and
financing the result ought to be all
that the most enthusiastic could desire.
Let's arbitrate rather than fight Gov
ernor Clarke ought to induce Mr..
Marsh of the Greater Iowa Association
to serve on the better roads commits

no active efforts at enforcement have
been made on account Of the lack OF

It was originally constructed in 1856,
and has been rebuilt time and again
and kept in repair by tho county. It

ment would make all improvement i'm
possible, would simply bar all progress.
The hitching rack has had its time,
and in its time 1T was the very best
thing that could be furnished. But to-
day the majority of the farmers have
automobiles and the rest will be de-
lighted If something better than the
old rack is provided. Roomy sheds
could be furnished at a small expense,
and no doubt, after the rack shall have
disappeared the citizens will all note

PUBLIC SAFETY.

some show OF reason, that for a few
months there will be turmoil OF in

when public feeling has simmered
down. the business of running such
craft may settle down to about the

One reason why investigation OF
great disasters frequently produces un-
satisfactory results. Is that 1T Is so
very costly to remedy original mis-

the public halls and cheaper theaters
were human life traps.
1t would not have cost much more
when a building was constructed to
have put in adequate exits. But TO
save few scrimped dollars the build
