grounds that the state commission In
terferes with home rule. We see lit
tie merit to such an argument. The
members of the commission are chos
en- because Of their fitness for the ad
ADMINISTRATION Of their duties. They
are presumed to be practical men who
have the interests of the whole state
lat heart. It is reasonable to assume
that they can be depended upon to be
fair to every section.
On the other hand, 1t must be con.
fessed that boards Of supervisors are
not always what they should be. Many
iof them are composed of impractical
men who should not be trusted with
Jurisdiction over such technical work.
Being in way held responsible for
road work in their county they nat
urally resent what they consider out
side Interference. This is the main
reason for opposition to the highway
commission, but such feeling will
not last. When the commission be-
comes well established body AMI
prejudice is removed it will be found
to be the most useful commission In
the state.

SAVE HIGHWAY COMMISSION.

SAVE HIGHWAY COMMISSION.
The movement to abolish the Iowa
highway commission has reached such
proportions at Des Moines that sup
porters OF the commission system are
sending protest to the legislature
against the proposed abolition. The
Dubuque Automobile club has for
warded vigorous protest against the
proposed action, says the Dubuque
Times-Journal
The plan to abolish the, highway
commission is based on no logical
grounds. The opposition to the COM
mission comes from those who resent
outside authority IN counties. Some
boards of supervisors are opposed to
the commission because 1t takes away
some Of their authority and serves as
a check against extravaganza.
It is not claimed that the highway
commission has been all that 1t should
be. Neither is 1t claimed that the
law should not be revised, but to abol-
ish the commission entirely would
mean a backward step that would
bring r1dicule on the state. II the
members Of the commission have
made mistakes the remedy would ap-
pear to rest with getting new COM
mission. II the law is faulty it
should be amended, but by no means
should the commission be abolished
The highway commission is new
body in the affairs OF the state and,
like all new movements, there is nat
urally some opposition. In some coun-
ties objection has been raised on the

Deep inside, all hid away,
Things your lips may never say.

The good God who knows all things
Knows the hearts of men and kings;
God and mother see the ache,
Though SO brave part you take.

Common folks have had to pay
In the coin Of pain AID tears,
For the wars, all through the years.
Still our lips will smile today,
Smile, the while you march away.

Know how great. how grave thing

Must you go the long long way?
