scores Of wagonloads. He has got
more from s square rod OF this cab

odd feature is that the cabbage seems
to be of entirely new variety. 1t is

Clum, secretary OF the Greater Iowa
Association, declared yesterday in an
interview that the association will be-
gin soon to hold meetings in various
parts of the state on hard surfaced
roads. The sentiment of those at
tending will be obtained and if they
favor calling special session Of the

Legislation. th.se;y vi! then ask the MEM
Der of the legislature from that district
to sign petition to the governor for
special session.
1--WE expect to cooperate with the
other movements looking toward
securing good roads in Iowa." said
Secretary Clum. but we believe this
plan of holding special legislative
session will secure good roads five
years sooner than any other method.
We are not advocating any special
type of road. What may be best for
one district may not be SO good for an
other This can be determined after
thorough study of local conditions in
each locality We have vast amount
of material on hand now as to the cost
Of roads and the availability of ma
terials in various localities and we
expect to begin giving this out to the
press at later date.

IOWA NATIONAL STUDIES EFFECT
OF EUROPEAN WAR ON AMER.
IcAN BUSINESS.
MUST BE REIMBURSEMENT
OF PRESENT TARIFF LAWS
Higher Tariffs to Be Adopted by Old
World Nations in Order to Pay War
obligations-WilI Force Revision in
United States - General Domestic
Trade Improving.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines Sept. 4.-That the in
dustrial changes wrought by the war
must inevitably lead to an entire new
revision Of the American tariff is be-
coming evident in many ways. War
conditions in the world forced estab-
lishment of new American industries
!, and abandonment of others. When the
war is over the other nations will do
some revising of their protective tar
ifs and then will come the scramble
for the world trade. An Illustration OF
what is going ON is given this month
in the review Of hnancil conditions by
the Iowa National Bank, in which &C.
ours the following paragraph:
IN the Ccnnellsville distrist 2S,096
coke ovens are burning; the produc-
ton is running around 10000 tons per
week and shipments are about 10000
cars per week. The erection of by
product ovens for the production OF
coal tar products is assuming good
proportions and contracts have been
let for several hundred ovens OF this
type. The supplanting Of the old bee
hive oven is almost certain, but fur-
mace men insist that they must have
protective tariff on coal tar products
in order to develop the industry in
,, this country. The initial cost of the
by-product oven is considerable and
after the war the furnace men claim
it will be impossible to compete with
the imported products without some
tariff protection. The byproduct oven
is not an experiment as few have
been in successful operation for nearly
twenty years
General Shaking Up.
The discussion Of this one item il
illustrates how much shaking up has
been done in commercial life in the
United States thru the war. The
same financial bulletin reports as to
general conditions affected by the war
in Europe:
General domestic trade is improving
as the result OF our tremendous exports
are, thru the expenditures for raw ma
terials and labor. finding their way
into every branch Of domestic trade.
Heavy shipments OF gold already ar
rived in transit, and In prospect from
Europe to this county. are putting US
in strong position from monetary
standpoint. The general stock OF money
| in the United States now exceeds
"a, 600, 000, 0O0.''
The business report is that large
quantities cf soft coal are now being
exported and new markets opened,
there is an enormous production of pig
iron and steel, and foreign trade is
generally good. The surplus reserves
of the banks. to be used In moving
the crops, amounts to $4,000, 900
while last year same date there was
only $4,000 900 in the reserves. This
! vii! he sufficient SO the crop moving
will not at all disturb the business
world
