TINE BULL IS HORNleSS

The initial meeting of Governor
Clarke's Better Roads commission held
in Des Moines Tuesday should correct
the wild impression that there is a
movment on to pave all the roacs Oh
Iowa at $4,000 per mile and contiscate
the farms With taxation. Small poll
ticians seeing the fear that exists
among land owners will fan prejudice
but the commissions first decision was
for roads that must finally be deter
mined upon By vote of the people with
in The county township or district
which is 10 build them. 1t may reason
ably be presumed that no majority is
going to vote for coniscation
on the other hand the commission
considered information from the United
States bureau OF roads disclosing the
startling news that there were only
TWO states in the union spending as
much tax money on roads and bridges
as was being spent in Iowa while
t}verty-slx states showed more miles of
improved roads than Iowa, II appears
that Ohio and Indiana each have i'm
proved roads equal 70 twice the coun-
~ road system OF Iowa or ten times
the improved roads of Iowa with annual
expenditures in taxes less than in Iowa
and il Is the hope Of The commission
10 interest the next legislature IN
plan 10 conserve the road revenues OF
this state
To build the Kind OF a road they need
an6 as many miles as they need right
away before the present gene-ation of
tax payers IS dead and gone is the
right which people in other states en-
Joy and which should be enjoyed in
iowa il has been done elsewhere wi5a
out taxation that even equals the TAX
burden in Iowa from which il IS rea-
sonable 70 presume ina, il can be done
in Iowa
Il this commission can point the
way 10 nar6 surfaced roads without
Increase in taxation i;

every man regardless OF his politics.

publican was inclined to believe the
time not ripe for the repeal OF the mulct

Law enforcement will mean prohibit

governor who will enforce that law
in the spirit it was passed by the legis-

liquor traffic in Iowa under Iowa
laws.

LONG PRAIRIE CHARGED WITH
ATTEMPT TO BRIDE STAPLES
PLAYER

AS a result of a charge Of bribery
placed against the Long Prairie team
the baseball series between that team
and Staples was not finished and the
championship still remains undecided.
Only one game remained to be played.
The Staples people accused the Long
Prairie teams manager with an at
tempt to bride the Staples manager to
enter into a frameup against the pub
lie. According to a statement in the
Staples World proposition was made
to the Staples team to enter into
frameup whereby it would be known
in advance which team would win,
thereby fooling the peorle into betting
on the game, which was to be played
at Verndale. One Staples player is
said to have been offered a certain
sum of money if he would, at criti-
cal moment, if the opportunity offered,
drop the ball, allowing Long Prairie
runners to score.
The affair has caused very hard feel
ings between the people of the two
towns and it is said that when Long
Prairie band appeared at Staples to
play a concert to advertise the Todd
;,nuntv fair they we're driven out OF
town with shower Of quite mature
hen fruit and vegetables. A large
banner advertising the fair which was
suspended across street in Staples
was torn down by a violent mob and
was carried away and buried.

injured Sunday morning in an automo-
bile accident which occurred several
miles north Of this city, when she,
