which routes are selected in advance
will go on the rocks Of discord.
The Iowa City Republican suggests
wiser and more cautious plan when it
advises permitting the localities to i'm
prove their main roads leading to
market centers first. The Des Moines
Capital expresses the same idea in Its
demand for business roads. Thru
route boosters will have no serious
difficulty in connecting up market
center roads so as to constitute con-
tinuous routes for the self interest OF
the counties affected will make tho
thru route popular. The statewide
campaign, however, should be waged
on the general propositions Of bond
issues TO anticipate road revenues;
special assessment districts to permit
the progressive communities to act in
dependently Of everybody else; special
benefit assessments to enable the land
most benefited to pay for the benefit
it receives and state aid whereby the
state highway commission can pro-
mote better class of road construc-
ton by its ability to assist or bonus
as is done so successfully in Michigan,
Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and
many another state.

TERMS:
COLLEGE MERGER WOULD BE WISE.

For efficiency the plan to CONSOLE
date three of the smaller colleges of
the state is a sensible move. The
merger would enlarge educational ad-
vantages.
The small college. even when sup
ported by a strong church society, has
struggle for existence. None is
self sustaining. Periodical campaigns
for enlarged endowments are re-
quired to meet competition and to keep
pace with progressive educational
methods. Tuition fees are very small
part of the requisite income.
The small college relying upon en-
tiowrl1ents must do something heroic TO
keep it's former place in our educa-
tional scheme and it can not survive
in separated units of poverty limited
capacities The plan to merge the as
sets of the three, establishing a real
college at Fairfield with the other two
plants serving as preparatory schools
builds for efficiency and for economy
If the change Is accomplished 1t VIII
be worthy Of another quarter OF
million to It's endowment.
The education of the youth OF the
state is recognized as an investment
well worth while. The larger colleges
and universities are better equipped to
do efficient work, and efficiency is the
object sought in all lines OF educa-
tional endeavor. The small college IS
a begging institution, limited in its ca
pacity to do the best because OF It's
very poverty. and the proposal OF
Simpson to merge with Iowa Wesleyan
and Parsons appears to be INSPIRED
With desire to overcome the &C
knowledged limitations of the three In
stitutions.

The megaphone Of the officials at the
race course is quiet. The blue and

by the various contestants. The town

LET US FISH LEGALLY.

From now on, if the rivers Of the
state take on their accustomed autumn
nal hue. there will be a great deal OF
ashing done in Iowa streams. with
conditions favorable the rivers VIII De
lined with anglers Of every description
from the first cool days Of fall until
the season closes in November.
One man from this city, and one
who could lily afford to pay lot Tue
experience, was arrested day or
two ago for fishing illegally. He had
in the Iowa river several throw lines,
and to each one were fastened several
hooks. The law provides that fisn'
erman must use not more than Two
lines. and that each OF them mus1
contain but one hook. This mans ex'
ner;ence. regardless of whether or not
he knew or cared less, cost him $40.
If we are going to fish, let us fsh
legally. If we do not know the law
let lis find out. Let there be no &C.
casion for a deputy game warden to
aoprise us that we have violated some
law aimed to protect the fsh In the

Iowa's laws governing hshing are
none too strict. They can be lived up

vantage of either game or fish. Inc

New American Invasion.

American motor cars are to be
thrown into Europe particularly into
Germany and France, Immediately aft
er the war is ended, in a manner
which will make all former American
"invasions" pale into insignificance.
One Of the largest Of the autonobi
companies is known to be preparing to
send no less than 10000 touring cars
and roadsters into the German market
within a month after the war is ended.
Other companies plan like invasion,

motor cars will be such as simply to
swamp the factories. Great Britain

HARD SURFACED ROADS.

The Reporter likes the sound OF
hard surfaced roads, but yet the plan
must be considerable of a dream for
some time to come. Here In Clay
county. We can have the IDEAL road
for all practical purposes with gravel,
and good travelled roads will solve the
problem Of road building to such an
extent that there will not be much ag1-
tation for hard surfaced roads. We
hope to see within five years or less
every town in Clay county connected
with gravel roads. This Is something
worth working for. The board OF SUI
pervisors in this county are enthus-
!astic for the use Of gravel on the
roads, and if the people are willing to
help get them. they will come.

head OF the affairs Of the municipality.
The council will pass the ordinances,
but 1t will be up to the city manager
to enforce them and to have general
charge Of the affairs Of the city. The
aldermen will be the board Of direct
ors, as 1t were, of q corporation of
which the citizens are the stockholders,
and the city manager will be the gem
eral manager or superintendent.
The manager plan is based on tho
not unreasonable theory that public
business ought to be conducted on
business principles-that the citizens
of municipality have just as much
right to look to their officers for re-
suits in the way OF service and i'm
provements as have the stockholders
OF some large corporation to look for
results in the way OF dividends. In
the government OF most American
cities efficiency has been sacrificed to
politics-merit oftentimes has been un.
able to cope With infIuence-the inter.
ests Of the many have been suboFtil.
mated to the interests Of the fewJ
The commission plan in its ideal state
does away with some OF the weakness
OF the old aldermanic plan. The city
manager plan undertakes to go even
further by centralizing not only au-
thority. but responsibility as well, and
giving over the conduct Of municipal
affairs to recognized expert in the
city government, just al the manage.
ment Of a steel mill would be en-
trusted to an expert in the manufac-
ture OF steel or the task Of digging a
canal would be assigned to some one
who had had special training to At him
for such an undertaking.
It will make no difference whether
man who aspires to be city manager
in Webster City IL a republican or
democrat, or whether he Is an Iowan
or Californian-the only question.
will be: Can he deliver the goods?
The city manager plan was born in
Ohio in 1918 and first adopted by Day
enviable shape after destructive floods.
Heroic measures were necessary to get
the city back on its feet. and 1t was de-
cided to put the anairs OF the muni-
cipality in the hands of one competent
man. by him to be worked out to the
best possible advantage. The scheme
worked SO well in Dayton that many
| other lesser cities adopted it, and, as
far as reports indicate, 1t is working
out nicely in Ohio.

to Webster City, as a few years ago
they turned to Des Moines after it had

IOWA PRESENTS cUMM1Ms.

rDes Moines Register and Leader.J
The Register has already suffi-
GENTLY outlined a situation justify
ing the action OF the republican lead
ers who have definitely entered Sena-
tor Cummins in the race for the re-
publican nomination for the presi-
dency.
The five states to first select their
delegates to the convention next year
are Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Ne
braska and Iowa, and each OF these
states will determine it's choice at
primary election at which the people
will vote directly.
Nobody has suggested reason
why these five states should not
unite in the support Of the senator
with sufficient unanimity to give I'M
petus to the call for western candi-
date, to powerfully influence the &C
ton Of the states further west, and to
favorably affect public opinion every
where.
If minnesota, the Dakotas and Ne
braska will join with Iowa, and we
mention these states because they are

and everybody will acquiesce in the
nomination of any man whose candi-
dacy would afford a reasonable pros
Ipect OF a reunited republican support.
The senator is able, he knows the
duties of the office. he possesses the
necessary quality of leadership.
The only question will be the ques-
ton of breaking a generation long
precedent against coming west Of the
Mississippi, an innovation the east
ern states may be pardoned for shud-
