AlAND OWNER ON GOOD ROADS.

Julius Kunz owns much land in
Kossuth county which is all subject to
road taxes. He writes to the Wesley
World in his home town saying:
I'VE have travelled southern Cali
fornia quite thoroughly with automo-
bile What impresses me the most or
all is the good roads. Then when one
stops to consider and thinks about 1t.
we all know what is the matter with
Iowa and the good roads question. The
state has the reputation by most every
traveller you meet as being the best in
production in the union. but also has
the reputation OF having the poorest
roads. 1t seems that a land where
there is always crop raised when
must also be hauled over the roads to
market would wake up 10 the question
OF good and permanent roads. Last
week we started out for a drive-got
caught twenty-three miles from home
in a big heavy rain We started back
over the state road-rurninE twenty to
TWENTY-FIVE miles per hour all Of the
way. never thinking Of getting stuck
or slipping off the ruad DIS at that rate Of
speed. One can not help hut get en-
Unused over these roads, and feel that
build roads, why not in Iowa.
These roads are built Of crushed
rock and cement and can be built in
Iowa at a less expense than here. I
venture the assertion that if Iowa
would spend some Of her money on
good roads there would be less Iowa
money spent in California;
Most that ais Iowa on the road
question is that her people who do the
voting have not vet seen the roads
that the farmers Of other states enjoy.
No man. land owner or otherwise. can
travel on hard roads and talk with
the land owners along the route with
out becoming enthused When il is
considered that every community in
these other states must first vote for
them before they can get hard roads
and that very often the majorities run
from to TO 10 for the roads, it
may be realized that hard roads are
a long ways from confiscation among
people who have actually obtained
them. In Iowa we believe that our
mud blockade is a necessary evil be-
cause we do not know anything better

the American people. as well as their
wish
The greatest error that the United
States government could commit, next
to the sending of an inadequate force
into Mexico. would be to withdraw its
forces before they had finished their
errand.
The beginning OF, the pacihcation OF
Mexico was made onceF before when
Vera Cruz was taken. An expedition

the establishment OF a provisional gov
eminent pending the organization Of q
Mexican government would have pre-
vented the bloodshed and anarchy that
have continued to the present moment.
Villas bandits are very likely to
scatter into small bands. II this should
occur, the American troops should not
be withdrawn merely because the
marauders have been dispersed They
can reass emble as quickly as they can
scatter. Nothing but the capture or
determination Of these murderers will
make the American border safe or en-

that American troops are to onter

troops be permitted to cross the Am

Of the n1arauders. No doubt this sug-
gestion is made for the purpose OF con-
vincing the Mexican people that Car,
rama Is not acquiescing to the EN-
vasion" Of Mexico. Nevertheless, cau-
ton should be exercised by this gov
eminent in dealing with Carranza's
suggestion, at a time when the atti-
tude Of Mexicans generally toward tire
American operation Is in doubt. Up
risings are more than likely to occur in
Mexican cities as soon as the rabhle
can be stirred up by f1re-eating gen
erals" and Americans and other for
eigners are likely to be mobbed. II this
disorder should become widespread.

hands full, without attempting to po-

breaks in the interior OF Mexico would
be inevitably followed by reprisals

forces might be involved.
Another factor in the situation which
may cause serious trouble Is the OPP
position to Carranza himself turnout

Mexican people for president. and some
parts of Mexico have refused to accept

The direct primary Is recent In
vention which makes one mans vote as
good as another. It has also raised
the price Of votes in some states to a
point where It costs more to run for
congress than 1t did to run a ball team
in the Federal League. 4a .4
Before the direct primary came into
being, politics in this country was con-
Quoted by the caucus or town meeting
method, by which four men in each
township decided who should be
elected. This was an ideal arrange
ment, and a deadly blow at the per-
petuity Of our institutions was struck
when 1t was laid low. Some of the
greatest men we have ever had were
elected to office with the aid Of the
township caucus. and yet 1t was ruth
lessly side tracked In favor Of the d.
rect primary. All those who have
noticed that the mental caliber. of
American office holders has been raised
over per cent by the direct primary
will please hold up their right hands.
The primary was brought out by a
reform politician who had never been
able to secure a look-in at caucus,
as he was too well known by the
Primary elections are usual
iy held in the spring of the year, when
the farmer is riding DER the landscape
on a planter and is unable to at
tend. This allows tho large cities to
nominate all of the officers, and in the
fall the farmer is permitted to vote for
them or stay at home and commune
with the mechanical corn husker.
The direct primary has done away
entirely with the old-style political
boss with the red neck. who has been
supplanted by select circle Of politi-
cal leaders. These leaders get to-
gether before the primary and pick out

AS a matter Of fact Carranza is i'm
potent to cope with a man as resource
full as villa. He would never have
been in the position Of first chief which
he now occupies had it not been for the
fighting qualities of Villa who directed
the revolution against Huerta. Car

There are plenty Of would-be leaders
