TowA,S LAWS.

[Council Bluffs Nonpareil.]
In the matter Of sane, progressive
legislature Iowa probably stands in the
very forefront Of the states in this
country Outside the legal fraternity
few Of our citizens really appreciate
the merits of the numerous statutes we
have in this state which are designed
to secure good government.
With the repeal of the mulct law
there will go into operation in Iowa
the most complete set of statutes ever
devised for the enforcement of law and
order. The redlight law enacted by the
last legislature is counted the best
| measure on this line ever enacted in
the United States. The Cosson re-
moval laws have the recall beaten sew
eral city blocks as practical admin
istrative measure. Our board of con-
troll system for the government Of state
institutions is one of the best in the
country. 1t has been copied by many
states since it's enactment in Iowa. The
educational board for the government
| of our higher institutions OF learning
will prove in the end progressive
step.
Our rural schools are now well
started on the way toward consolida-
ton. remarkable progress mas Deen
made in this line within the last two
years. We now have in the state 100
consolidated schools and new ones are
being added almost every month.
We need now to further extend our
penal institutional work. We need the
custodial farms for the care Of pris-
| oners and we need industries which
will furnish work for prisoners. We
| need psychopathic hospital at Iowa
| City. Most of all we need additional
legislation which will set in motion a
good roads building campaign.
In the meantime, however, we should
| not lose sight of the fact that we are
well advanced in legislation on many
lines. We are doing fairly well. And,
| pending further improvements, we
must use to the limit Of their POSSIBLE
ity for good the instruments we now
have available.

 We love the Master We will keep

 The spirit of truth and the spirit of error is known from the study and using of the things of God or the things of the world The things of God are truth; the things of the world are error. Men may become very much confused and confounded with things that are presented to them as good, but truth itself can not be confused or confounded. The man who thinks he can disregard the laws of gravity while soaring in his aeroplane does not live to tell the error; the man who thinks he can gain eternal life by hate and jealousy and dishonesty and selfish ness had best take care ere he too late finds that the road he is travel ing leads to gloomy depths and sad disappointments. God calls every man to life, and he has revealed that life through his Son. He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life"
 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loyeth God loveth his brother also..'

Over Six Billions
 $3O,OOO a Minute

The first year of the war has cost the belligerent governments about $16,5OO,00O 900 in direct eXpendi- lures for military purposes. Ey perts agree fairly well on these figures The Berlin Norwaerts finds the total $16,676, 13000 the French economist, Edmond Thery, $17, 400, OOOO00 and the statistician, William Michaelis of Berlin, $15,2l0,000, 900.
 This is the expense of putting about 9000,0O0 men into the field for the central powers, and about l3,- O00o00 for the allies.
 It does not include, however, the far greater amount lost through the destruction of towns and villages, the ravaging of the countryside, the economic loss through the destruc- tion in productive industry. the kill ing of the strongest men in the com munity and the creation of a class of cripples and madmen.
 The war is now costing about $45, ,0OO0 GOO day, $2,OOO0O0 an hou., and $3o,OOo a minute. The cost is mounting steadily.
