private banks for twenty years" Sena-
tor Foskett made the assertion that q
fund to be used to prevent legislation
adverse to their interests had been
maintained for years by the private
bankers.
That the use of money in any illegiti-
mate way had anything to do with the
defeat of the bill is not to be credited
or given serious attention. Nobody be-
lieves anything Of that sort, including
the senator who made the statement.
How much personal appeal by private
bankers affected the measure Is an
other question. 1t would be strange II
few individuals who wish to take
deposits and borrow money under the
title of banks" could influence a vote
so emphatic against interference with
their desires.
OF course the house had turned
Sc.n similar hin but the senate has
not been particularly mindful Of the
action Of the house during this ses-
sion.
So true analysis Of the reason the
senate seems to be so strongly against
private bank regulation would be in
formative at least.

PRIVATE BANKS WIN.

The senate by decisive vote killed
the Jones bill to regulate private
banks. It had been hoped that legal
and protective restrictions would be
placed upon these by this legislature
but the large majoriey against the
Jones bill indicates that no such action
is to be expected Of the senate.
Just why Is like those conundrums
Of Lord Dundreary, something no
Teller can find out" There is certainly
no good reason why the private"
bank should be granted immunity from
regulation and inspection and there il
certainly no public sentiment to grant
private bankers privileges denied to
state and national banks. Neither does
the history OF private banking suggest
that the private" bank has earned
any such immunity.
| It would be at least interesting,
whatever its value, to know just what
grounds and arguments led the senate
Ito it. conclusion against regulation Of

THE ABSENT VOTER.

Travelling men and others whose
business takes them much from home
are hoping that the senate will deal
gently with the house bill providing
for the absent voter.
This bill would permit travelling men,
railway employees and the like to pro-
cure ballots from the county auditor
any time between thirty days before
election and not later than three days
before election, mark the ballot in the
presence of a township. county or city
official who certifies as a witness to
the marking and mail the marked bal
lot TO the county auditor.
1t is hard to find anything seriously
wrong with the plan. The safeguards
against illegal voting seem to be as eff
fective as at the average polling place.
1t goes without saying that every cit
izen should be assisted in every ligiti-
mate way to cast his ballot and have
it counted. Also it is as evident that
one class OF voters have legitimate
complaint when it costs them two days
OF valuable time or railroad fare in
greater or lesser sums to cast the vote
that belongs to them. Given proper
safeguards and sufficient penalties for
fraud it is hard to see why the absent
voters should not become a law and a
benefit not only to the absent voter but
to the community which wishes all the
votes cast. A big vote is representa-
tive. And the absent voters law would
make for a fulled vote.
No opposition to the bill has been
manifest either in the press or from the
public. 1t will probably pass the upper
house as readily as it did the lower
The class Of voters to whom it is in
tended to do justice are among the
most intelligent of the voting popula-
ton and nobody is likely to find fault
with a law that gives them a chance
to vote without penalty of loss.

CUTTING the COAT 10 THE cLorN.

A bill passed by the house yesterday
permits cities Of more than 5000 to
increase the levy for their general
fund from 10 to Is mills. Argument is
made that the cities having saloons
will need the money after Jan. l. Per-
haps that is in a measure true of the
saloon towns but there are many sa-
loonless towns that have not asked
any such privilege and whose inhabi-
tants and taxpayers will scarcely be
grateful for the concession.
One advocate of the raise stated that
cities need the money. Cities always
need the money" If any city ever
had more tax money than it's munich
pal statesmen could spend history has
neglected to record it's name and age.
Tax levies in the Iowa cities are at
high water mark. The house bill sim
ply shoves the mark higher. Doubt
not that the tax levy will follow. And
having touched the high mark again it
will be slow to recede.
The saloon towns have year-near-
ly-to get ready for the change. It is
entirely possible for them to make
their arrangements to live within the
10 mill limit. The single exception to
this is Des Moines and Des Moines is
asking that the 10 mill limit shall
stand

A GOOD ROAD LAW.
BLOOMFIELD Republican,

The senate Is yet to act and after
that body gets thru with the bill, If
it passes. then Governor Clarke. We
are appraised that the senate will
never take backward step in the mat
ter of highway legislation and that
Governor Clarke will stand firm
until something better is offered His
campaign of vindication was made
partly on the present road law and the
people Endorsed his conduct and official
acts.
The road law has been productive
Of good. 1t has eliminated clap trap
bids for bridge material and culyert
work and put the kibosh on 100 per
cent profits and graft. It demands 100
cents value for every dollar expended
and it's enforcement has saved coun-
ties of the state many thousands of
dollars. 1t demands uniformity in road
work and a thoroughness that in time
will be the foundation for hard roads,
II the people ever decide to carry the
improvement that far. It costs some
to keep 1t in effect. Forty states have
abandoned the obsolete system of In
dividual initiative in road construc-
ton and placed the burden on the state
and have found it q most profitable
thing to do. Iowa stands on advanced
ground now. but the lower house of
the legislature is willing to take q step
backward. The present law is not per-
feet but its foundation principle is
right.

KEEP CONV1CTS WITHIN LIMITS.
burlington GaZette.1
Senator Joe Frailey of Fort Madison
is protesting against the employment
of convicts outside OF the prison walls
in the way OF competing with free la
Dor. It strikes most sensible people
that Senator Frailey's objections are
well grounded. Convicts should not be
permitted to interfere in any manner
with the employment Of free men, The
plan OF working them on the public
roads is all right. but to permit them
to go into the labor field under contract
and under bid the services OF men who
are endeavoring to make living in an
honest manner is not right II convicts
are to be employ eds they should be re-
stricted to the premises of the state
prison. except in cases where read
work for the state remains, and hen
the men should be paid nominal sum
for their services. The city Of Fcrt
Madison adopted an ordinance forbid
ding convicts to do odd jobs around
the town. Warden Sanders resisted the
ordinance and sent his men out and
the case Is still undecided. The temp
tation to hire a convict at wage less
than free laborer can be obtained is
too strong to resist for some people
and reputable citizens have walked the
streets of Fort Madison, unable to find
employment, while convicts were kept
busy.
