4 HOME RULE ROAD BILL.

Those members of the house Of rep
at Des Moines who be-
leve in a return TO local self govern
ment in road work will now have an
opportunity to provide for that very
principle in the Foster bill for county
bond issues by vote OF the people who
are to be bonded. This bond plan Is
not as broad nor as effective as the
forty-year bonds Of many states and
will not make possible the paving Of
very much county highway for the
reason that it provides only for ten
year bonds based upon present tax
levies and payable each year in in
stallments but it will provide for
graveled roads on a scientific plan.
Whenever the voters of any county
shall decide to gravel their county
roads they may anticipate their present
county road taxes for ten years, vote
ten-year serial bonds, build the roads
and pay for them on the ten-year plan
as they use them. To this extent the
bill provides for sane businesslike and
ment since a graveled road will last
ten years with small amount Of re-
pair and is we'll worth while.
The ten-year bond fails short, how
ever, in distributing the tax burden
equitably over the generations of tax
payers who are to use the improve
ment when bridge Of masonry is
built which is to last from 100 to 500
years. There are bridges on the Appian
Way, in italy, which have stood up for
1000 years and they were built with
out cement in the mortar. When a
bridge like that is paid for in ten
years it comes as Christmas present
to posterity for all the years which fol-
low.
Likewise with the cutting Of steep
hill on the ten-year plan. the cut re-
mains a cut forever and no bond is
sue could be too long in maturity to
distribute the first cost equitably over
the generations Of men who would en-
Joy the benefits Of that grade thru the
hill. Again, in paving = country road
as is being done in every state east Of
the Mississippi river and in Texas and
a few states on the Pacific coast the
pavement aside from the grades and
the bridges will last thirty years and
should be amortized by bonds calling
FOR thirty annual payments.
However. ten-year bonds for graveled
roads and even for hill cutting and
bridges are better than the present
hand-to-mouth plan. A county like
OF the tax payer5 money on its roads

THAT JOHNSTON BELL.


There seems 20 be something es-
pecially attractive to certain people in
Iowa in that Johnston bill. As we look
at it the passage Of that bill would
set Iowa back at least five years in
practical matchmaking, and would put
US back to the old style which always
seemed to spend money and get no
permanent results. The present road
law has not been in operation long
enough to find out just what per-
manent results will come, and to re-
turn to the old style we know will not
give US any. That the present law can
be bettered all admit, but the way to
go at 1t is not for the legislature to go
at it with a meat ak, but TO get the best
thinkers and the best practical road
men to give their views, and then Tor
the legislature to, act with caution and
endeavor to improve the law il they
do anything. Other states are getting
some permanent roads on soils that are

Iona Newspapers
KEEP ROADS OUT OF POLITICS
GCedar Rapids Republican,


They have an amended Johnston
road bill in the legislature. Instead Of
a highway commission It creates
single engineer as the state overseeing
authority and it makes him creature
of the political machine in the state.
AT the present time, the engineer is
connected with the college at Ames
where engineers and road builders are
properly trained and there is also
nom salaried commission to pass upon
his acts. It strikes any reasonable
man as the better arrangement as we
have it now. The men who have ac-
cepted the single engineer at Des
Moines might as we'll let the present
structure stand. There is nothing to
be gained by putting good roads into
politics. 1t is much better to have
them connected up with Ames where
engineering work is understood and
where politics are not supposed to in
trude.

Mr.. RICHARDS REPEALER.
IMuscatine Journal.l

lNUScatlne JOuEndl.I
We are certain that the local mouth
piece of democracy now regrets that
Mr. Harry" Richards was harshly
spoken of in it's editorial columns.
Mr.. Richards has shown himself
good democrat by the very standard
by which the local publication meas
ures true democracy.
When bill calling for the aban-
Comment Of the capital extension pro-
ject was presented to the house, Mr..
Richards voted for it.
Mr.. Richards was elected in cam
paign in which, SO far as the race for
governor was concerned. capitol extern
sion was the chief issue.
The local democratic publication.
made the entire campaign upon the
single issue Of capitol extension. 1t
demanded the defeat OF Governor
Clarke because he favored capitol ex-
tension and stood behind it.
The Journal warmly welcomed this
issue and in the newspaper campaign
capitol extension was the chief theme
discussed.
Where two years ago Governor
Clarke had lost Muscatine county. and
where Carroll had lost the county be-
fore the advent Of the third party. last
fall the governor carried the county by
q very comfortable margin.
The reasonable conclusion would be
that Muscatine county favored capitol
extension. Mr. Richards has figured
differently. He seems to believe that
he was elected as an all-around repeal
er. But at any rate. his vote to aban-
don capitol extension ought to win him
the approval Of the local democratic
publication.

NEWSPAPER ERRORS.
lIowa City Republican,

iowa City RepuDilcan.1
The capacity OF some people for de-
tectins errors in the newspapers Is
marvellous. Also it is singular how
many unexpected meanings these peo-
pie can find.
If the reporter writes that man
wore a coat of such and such CHAR
acter, some one may call up and ask
if the coat was all the man had on!
To satisfy these literalists. you must
enumerate item by item the other ar
ticles OF attire, or they will accuse you
Of making the victim appear half
naked.
The reader, who digests his paper
on the quiet his home feels that he
has shown great brilliancy if he de-
tects an error in grammar or cap
italization. It is one thing to find
mistakes at your leisure in another
mans work, quite another to turn
out high degree Of accuracy and pre-
cision in the haste of newspaper
composition.
The banker makes blunders in his
figures, the lawyer draws UP incor-
rect papers, and the business man sub
mits erroneous bills. Such blunders
are known only to the few persons
whom they concern. The newspaper
man Is like the actor on the stage.
whose slightest slip is manifest to all
and seems ridiculous.
It would be perfectly possible to
produce newspaper having the same
high degree of accuracy as the best
edited magazine. But this would either
cost about twice as much for more
costly force. or else the scope and field
Of the newspaper would have to be re-
duced and less matter printed. The
public would not pay the bills in the
first case, and 1t would not be satisfied
with curtailment Of service. So the
newspapers struggle along as best
they can in their eternal effort to ac-
complish that impossibility. snap

Quest awoke the next morning,
stretched out his hand and glanced at
the watch by the side of the bed. It
was barely six o'clock. He turned over
and dozed again, looked again at half
past six, and finally, at a few minutes
to seven, rose and made a hasty
toilet. Then. in the act of placing his
watch in his waistcoat pocket, he gave
a sudden start. BY its side, half COW
cred by the handkerchief which he had
thrown upon the little table, stood a
small black box! For a moment he
was motionless. Then he stretched out
his hand, removed the lid and drew
out the usual neatly folded piece Of
paper:
Even time fights you. 1t loses that
you may Iose.-The Hands.
Quest for a moment was puzzled.
Then he hurried into the next tent,
where the professor was sleeping
peacefully.
SAY, professor, what's the time by
your watch?" Quest asked, shaking
him gently.
The professor sat up and drew his
| chronometer from under his pillow.
"Seven o'clock" he replied; five
minutes past. maybe"
Quest nodded.
"That seems all right" he declared
