ALL BALLEO UP AGAIN.

The department Of state is all balled
UP again in licensing automobiles.
With less than half the cars reported
with applications the department is
10000 behind in plates and is giving
Immunity" receipts. Last year it was
just as bad and the year before. We
would have just as much trouble get
ting our mail If we had to receive all
our letters in Iowa from the Des
Moines postoffice.
What is the sense of it all? Why
shouldn't an automobile tax be paid
at the court house where all other
taxes are paid? Why dump 100000
collections into one office at Des
Moines collect the money there only to
send 90 per cent of it home again and
swamp one office trying to handle the
business that belongs to ninety mine?
Gun licenses are issued by the county
auditor; why not auto licenses? We
used to think that we needed the
numbers all registered at a state office
and the plates issued there, but now
the law makes one plate good for three
years so all we need to do is to send
a bunch of plates out to the county
auditors, six months in advance and
have him send the secretary Of state
a triplicate copy of every license re-
ceipt he issues. How simple that
would be? How much more convenient
for an auto owner to drive over to his
county court house and drive home
with his auto number? How much
less excuse for the man who tries to
take cover behind all this confusion
and Immunity" business to evade his
license? Why not introduce some
common business sense into this auto
license collection?

You may play the finest music that

You may whistle like the whistle of the
golden mocking bird;
You may MARBLE like Caruso and make

You may try to make her slumber with
the music of lay

their heaven so far away;

But there's nothing to a baby like the

Des Moines paper has the largest

interest to readers of papers In CEN

Yuba Dam, Arizona, and Des Moines.
Just what reader especially cares
about the circulation OF his newspaper
Is more than we can fully understand.
If a grocer win sell US twenty pounds
of sugar for dollar (Which he won't
nowadays). what do we care how many
others buy? Also. why should a read
er care whether his favorite paper has
more or less advertising than It's

THE KIND OF NOMINEE.

1t is well to remember that the pro-
gressives had a million more votes
than the republicans, at the last cleo
ton, and the old line republicans that
are talking of the return of the pro-
digal, should remember that the ma
jority is returning to the minority II
the boys are reunited under the old
banner. And it might also be well
to remember that the causes that
drove the voters from the good old
party in 1912 will also drive them
away in 1916 This talk of either side
giving up entirely to the other is all
bosh. No one wants the old. liners
to welcome Teddy as their nominee.
neither will the progressives fall on
the neck Of Joe Cannon or men of his
stripe and beg for forgiveness But
there is a common ground on which the
party can be reunited. The man that
heads the ticket must be much such
a man as Senator Cummins or Senator
Kenyon. He can neither be all old
line or all progressive. On this sort
of man and on this sort of platform
the party can be reunited and we be-
lieve will be reunited.

MORTGaGING THE FUTURE.

Colonel Hepburn, past so years old.
has been interviewed about road i'm
provements. He believes that Iowa has
an abundance of cement rock and
gravel and he would have it used on
the roads but when asked about long
time bonds in order to raise money he
replied that he had never believed in
mortgaging the future. Colonel Hep
burn is a type of the passing pioneer
who has brought Iowa to an expendi-
ture third largest in the union for it's
roads and bridges and yet receives less
for its money than twenty-six other
states receive for less money.
Colonel Hepburn has always been
close to railroads in politics but be evil
of finance which has made railroads
possible. His idea as to building per-
manent highways, cutting hills TO
grade and surfacing with cement, stone
and gravel out of one years tax money
would require a railroad to build all OF
it's permanent grades and bridges out
of one years freight rates. Imagine
railroad 10 be graded across Iowa out
Of it's current receipts.
Every railroad that was ever built
mortgageG the future In that Some in
vestor ir stocks or bonds put in the
money for the sake of annual returns
TO be received in a long period Of
years. He figured that hills once cut
to grade would stay cut forever and
rock ballast and steel rails once laid
season. The average return upon this
long time investment in railroads to-
day is ~ per cent to the stock in
vestor and about per cent to the bond
investor and the people who pay
freight today are not asked to pay for
the whole investment in one year.
When we come to highway improve
ment, which Is public work, plenty of
investors down east stand ready to
build the finest kind of roads for us,
to cut our hills down, build our grade
up and give us hard surfaces Of gravel
and pavement and all they are asking
today is and sometimes Az per cent
interest on bonds. If we would let
these investors build our roads for us
as they have built our railroads we
| could have the roads for very low
interest rate and small easy payments
on the principal. Instead of trying &C
build an expensive but permanent type

to build and equip a railroad all in ont

Phaleron, where the allies have
landed troops. according to advices
from Berlin, lies southwest af Athens,
on which Is also Piraeus, the port of the
Greek capital. at which place soldiers
have also been landed. Phaleron,
which is small place, anciently known
also as Phalerum, is a favorite shore
resort of the residents of Athens, from
which it is about four miles distant.
Berlin interprets the action of the allies
in landing troops at these two ports as
meaning the entente is fomenting and
preparing the overthrow of the Greek
government in order to substitute re-
public with Venizelos at its head. Pr
raeus is the second largest city OF

SPENDING IT WE'LL.

some fellows complained that 1t took
constant complaint and two autono-

lows said that it took much complaint
and extra trips to get mudhole In

case as point against spending
$4,000 for roads and the other fell
low cited his case as point In favor.
The complaint in both instances
means inefficiency and in listening
to the arguments on roads one finds
the question Of inefficiency constant
ly raised by both sides in support Of
their positions.
1nefficiency is the center around
which revolves much Of the criticism
and most Of the objection to large
