President Wilson's sweeping de-
nunciation Of certain citizens Of foreign
birth is likely to be considered alto
gether too wide and inclusive by citi-
zens of foreign birth or descent when
he says in his message:
There are citizens Of the United
States, I blush to admit, born under
other flags but welcomed under our
generous naturalization laws to the full
freedom and opportunity of America,
who have poured the poison Of dis
loyalty into the very arteries Of our
national life; who have sought to bring
the authority and good name of our
government into contempt, to destroy
our industries wherever they thought
1t effective for their vindictive pur-
poses to strike at them, and to debase
our politics to the uses Of foreign in.

TO CONTINUE ROUTE BUSTING.

Representative Dowell, having
reached Washington and sought relief
for Iowa rural mail routes, informs his
constituency that the administration
proposes to go right on with the al
legged reorganization and that nothing
short Of congressional action will check
the Burleson program.
This Is bad news in Iowa whence
daily protest to congressman and sem
ators fill the mails of the Iowa delega-
ton.
1t Is notable that in the storm that
has arisen over the "disorganizaticn''
Of the routes no voice is heard in ap-
prevail and none in excuse outside of
newspapers with postoffices and those
who hold or expect jobs under the gov
eminent. Some democratic editor post
masters are bold enough to speak out
boldly in condemnation Of the policy
which appears to be practically wreck
ing the service in this state and those
whom the routes are calculated to
serve are practically a unit in indig-
nant protest.
If this thing is to go on unaffected
by the protest of those most seriously
affected by it and guided and con-
trolled only by the arrogance Of Off
cial autocracy it is time that congress
should go about defining the powers Of
the postal authorities. Asst stands
the postoffice department is a law unto
Itself. Given a wise tyrant this plan
has its advantage but all tyranny is
not wise or acceptable even in the
postoffice department.
AT present the only relief in sight
seems to date to March 4, 1917.

PUT YOUR TOWN ROAD IN ORDER.

The time has arrived for every town
council in Iowa to act in the matter of
improving its main streets leading
from the country to the center of
town. There is new paving law on
the statute books enacted by the last
legislature which makes the paving of
outlying roads easy 1t is known as
the Farr law for special paving dis
tricts or Senate File No. 143. Under
it's provisions city council can es-
tablish a district which in rs judg-
ment will be served by the paving of
a main road leading into the city and
the cost Of the paving can be spread
over all the lots within that district
whether they abutt the street or not.
The council also can levy a special 1
mill on all city property with which to
pay not to exceed one-half Of the cost
and can anticipate that 1 mill levy for
ten years.
By projecting a pavement sixteen
feet wide, which is ample to carry
traffic on outlying streets, the usual
cost Of paving is cut in two. By as
sessing half of the net cost to the city
at large the special assessments
against property near the pavement
may be cut in two again and by dis
tributing this special benefit assess
ment over more lots than those imme-
iof n1 or
those assessments into seven annual
payments on the paving certificate
plan the paving tax becomes SO ligh,
| burden that any town above 1000 in
habitants can pave all Of its MAR
roads from the business center to thu
city limits.
Sioux City, the home Of Farr who
inspired the law, has paved some Of
its roads under the new law already
and will pave more next year. The
city council in Marshalltown Is pre-.
pairing resolutions for paving district!
surrounding six main roads and every
| county seat town or metropolis in Iowa
ought to be at work next spring under
the provisions of this new law. It en-
bodies the principles which must even.
tually be adopted for the Improvement
of rural highways. Even a reactionary
like Harding has said So. Therefore II
is up to the boosters and the business
! interests Of the market towns to dem.
| onstrate the possibility Of road i'm.
provement under good law, The
| town man can no longer complain
about the county roads until he puts
| his town roads beyond criticism.
