THE MEN WHO ARE GETTING OUT"

The saloon men are without hope.
The better class Of liquor dealers &C
cepr the repeal Of the prohibitory law
as final and the end Of the iegalized
LIQUOR traffic in this state. Some there
may be who hold to hope but the
been in the traffic as business prop
osition wholly are getting ready to
quit. Thus one prominent wholesaler
and retailer In an Iowa city writing
privately says he is getting out, that
his stock Will be distributed outside
the state and in states where sale is
permitted. He doesn't know precisely
what he will do and complains that the
time allowed is too short for him to
save himself from loss. But he is
thru.
Now there is side to this shutting
off the liquor traffic that should not
be lost sight Of It is to be remem-
bered that In tewns like the river cities
of the state the liquor traffic has been
legalized, that many of those engaged
in it have a vastly different point OF

sisted to accomplish the downfall OF
the business. Ten months Is shor,

REACTIONARY MEASURES.
ICedar Falla Record.

The reactionary tendency Of tho
present general assembly Is indicated
in the passage Of the Miller bill for
the repeal Of the Law taking the coun-
ty superintendency out Of politics. An
other indication Is the strong sentiment
developed for the repeal Of the now
road law. Ordinarily neither measure
would receive moments considera-
ton. The election Of county super
intendents by the presidents Ct the va
rious school boards is matter that
will work out to the benefit Of schools
in general In Black Hawk county
the new law is being given an tntelli-
gent trial and we are sure the results
will be satisfactory. Yet in spite Of
this fact one OF Black Hawks repre-
sentatives, Bronson. voted for the Mil
Ter bill. The new road law may hoe
be perfect. It's staunchest defenders

MarshalitoWn, Iowa, March =, 1919.
Times Republican:
There is considerable discussion OF
late about road conditions. The sub
ject of permanent roads is thought OF
more seriously just now than per
maps for some time. Many years iiase
passed since our roads have been in
such terrific impassability. The cost OF
establishing the roads this spring
will be a considerable sum.
The writer had the opportunity this
fall to make an extensive examination
OF hard roads. This covers the fol-
losging states. Illinois. Indiana. Ohio.
Pennsylvania, etc, etc. Close atten-
ton was given this subject It was
remarkable thru the state OF Indiana
There are located here vast stretches
Of farm land not unlike the state Of
Iowa. Witt, this III mind II Is easily
understood that conditions Of building
permanent roads there are not unlike
in this state. BY that 1t II meant that
to build permanent roads 1t has been
necessary to maui or snip IN Yfse tica..S
all Of the road material. Hence the
cost of building roads there would not
be any greater than It would be here.

The first essential toward proper

the citizens of the fact that they must
not throw waste paper and other litter
into the streets In the face Of the en-
deavors of the city council the condi-
ton Of Burlington's downtown
thoroughfare are as rule eye sores,
with their litter Of paper and rubbish.
and there is no one to blame for this
condition but we ourselves. Go along
Jefferson street any hour in the early
morning, and you will see merchants
and their employees calmly sweeping
the dirt from their store rooms into
the streets, seemingly without q
thought that they are breaking city
ordinance. The gutter 10 the catch all
Of the discarded newspaper and paper
bags, and the sidewalk 10 the proper
place for the banana peel. A little

gested to Councilman Cockerell that

Law NEEDS FIXING.


[Webster City Freeman-Tribune.
John Kurta gets $5,o50 from the Lee
high Portland Cement Company for tho
loss OF an arm. He sued for $50, 600.
The present compensation law would
have allowed him $3.50. Had he been
injured on July 9Th instead Of May 9Th.
Mason City Dispatch
II this situation is correctly stated.
and the Freeman Tribune believes 1t
is. there is need of some changes in
the compensation law. A jury OF twelve
men at Mason City, after hearing all
the evidence and listening to the ar
guments of the attorneys, deliberately
decide that John Kurta was damaged
to the extent OF 5000 thru the loss Of
his arm. yet the compensation law says
he shall receive only $3.50 for such
an injury. The principle OF the COM
pensation law is sound, but the law
should be amended in such way as to
give the MANNED workmen fair COM
pensation. Not long ago man was
killed here in Webster City. He was
earning $12 or SIS per week, the exact
sum the Freeman-T Tribune does not re-
call. but his widow and family. receive
only IS a week for three years. The
chances are tndI II the IudIicI u0u
been taken into court under the old
law the widow would have received at
least $1,000. (assuming that the en-
ployer was liable. and $4,000 at per
cent interest would give the family IS
per week for all time. Under the COM
pensation law the assumption Is that
the injured person is entitled to COM
pensation. That being the accepted
view, the compensation ought 70 be
commensurate with the real damage
suffered. II the legislature would
adopt Commissioner Garst's theory OF
the state getting back Of the law and
furnishing the insurance to employers
at actual cost. the chances are that the
injured workman could be fairly well
reimbursed for the damage suffered.
so far as dollars and cents are con-
cerned, and it would cost the employer
but little If any more than under pres
ent methods.

A WOMAN SCHOOL DIRECTOR.

The Citizen can $50 no good reason
the Iowa City board OF education.
The mother Is usually the member OF
the family most interested In the
school experience Of the children.
and on whom falls the duty Of coun-
selling with the teacher, visiting the
school. and otherwise keeping In
touch with that phase Of the child's
life. Given a well educated woman
with common sense and the viewpoint
OF the thoughtful mother Of growing
children, and on the board Of education
she would be q valuable factor in
shaping the policies and the surround
ings of our public schools.
INTEREST AND PRINTING RATES.
Humboldt Republican,
And while we are talking about that,
why is 1t that the average printer
publishes bank statements at one-flfth
legal rates, and cheerfully pays legal
interest when he Dorrows money at the
bank. Why does he publish incoP-
poration notices at half price, and pay
the corporations full price for what he
buys of them. Why does he publish
a legel notice from the town at half
price. and charge the farmer full legal
rates for proof of will or probate
notice? There are SO many why's that
one becomes confused. yet taken as g
whole they form the reason why the
editor is always behind financially.
while the farmer and the banker and
every other good business mon rides in
his auto. 1t isn't the fault OF the bank
er or farmer. The fault lies with the
editor. II he ever wakes up and ac-
cumulated little business sumption
he will do bushes On business princi-
pies and be able to hold up his head
with men In professions no better than
his. 1t will take a few frst-class flu
nerals to accomplish the result, but
time has way of Strengthening out
the little crooks that is very satisfy
ing.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Knoxville Journal inquiries, If
It is proper for the state to say that
there shall be no liquor sold within
the borders Of the state, why is not
proper for the state &c enforce its de-
cree? And if the state authorities are
to do that, why not give them the
proper machinery to accomplish the
result"
Let the law say who may have
habit forming drugs in possession and
for what purposes and then let the law
compel everybody having them in pos
session to give an account of them
suggests the Dies Moines Tribune.
The Iowa city Republican says. THE
repeal of the mulct law gives to
Davenport. Clinton and Dubuque some
big problems, which the legislature
can not help them to solve.

The Storm Lake Pilot Tribune save,
at likes George Cosson, Joe Allen and
Paul Stiilman-all Of them"-and adj
vises that they get together and reach
an agreement as to which one shall
run for governor, so that the support
which any one Of them could command

them"
Clifford Thorne may not be the man
for governor, but he is entitled to great
credit for the years Of labor he has
given to fit himself as a Competent au-
i thority on railroad rates." declares the

had to take the pictures of the wall
