Character in Reading F.,

a mental and moral tonic. Its stories

they depict the courageous, the
healthful, the simple-the true life
of the greater number with their ad-
ventures, their conflicts of tempera-
ment, their failures and successes. In

HASH.

Hash is an inexpensive substitute
for a square meal with which the
flower of Americas manhood is sat
urated about three times a week. 1t
is not served in foreign countries,
owing to the fact that over there
man is looked up to with more rever-
ence and is priced as an addition to
the home. There are times when it
seems as if it would be nice to be a
foreigner.
While the origin of hash is shroud-
ed in mystery, the latest encyclo-
pedias state that it is presumed to
have been invented by the Cape Cod
housewife who at the same time
brought out the cottage. pudding,
which makes it possible to dispose OF
sponge cake after it has been Wrin-
killed. with age. 1t is very annoying
to sensitive husband who has pass
ed up a sponge cake four weeks in
succession to have it appear disguis-
ed as a pudding and be obliged to
eat it or start a. display of fireworks
about the family hearth. This is one
of the principal reasons, no doubt,
why so many men remain single. An
other reason is that woman is be-
coming more thoughtful and discrim-
mating in her tastes.
The standard gauge variety of
hash is composed of meat which no
body cared FOR or to eat in it's natur-
al state, mixed with the juicy cold
blooded potato. These ingredients
are shaken up together and held
over slow fire for a few minutes,
after which they unite in one olea-
ginous mass and are thrust upon the
table with violence that almost ap-
proaches brutality. This causes us
to ask why is it that when man
comes home after hard days work,
with an appetite for some light, fill
ing food like the whole wheat pam
cake, he will be confronted with hash
which started out as rib roast. was
converted into cold meat and finally

The farmers. themselves, bear too
large share of the cost of road build

erty pays only one mill tax for coun-
ty road purposes and one-half of the
amount collected under this tax is ex-,

farmers, on the other hand, pay the
one mill county road tax, a two mill
special county road tax, and in addi-

BUSINESS METHODS, WITH A FULL
UNDERSTANDING THAT NO ACTION
IS TO BE TAKEN, NO EXPENDI-
TURE TO BE AUTHORIZED AND NO
PLAN FOLLOWED UNTIL 1T HAS
BEEN PUT UP TO THE PEOPLE AND
THEY HAVE APPROVED 1T.
If we could talk this matter over
personally feel sure we would agree
perfectly. We are spending $13,000,-
900 a year for roads in Iowa and this
ought to give us better roads than we
have. My whole effort is to see that
we do actually get full value for the
money spent.
If there are any questions that
might answer or any special Informal
ton I could give you, I want you to-
write me- Let's talk these things over
in the interest Of our community and
our state and not be misled by such
ridiculous propositions as $100,0O0,OOO
bond issues, and having our farms
taken away from us for taxes, stories
put out only for campaign purposes.
Under the constitution of the State
of Iowa, the State has no authority to-
issue bonds for the purpose Of build
ing roads.
No person can put through state
bon dissue of any amount for road pur-
poses because: 1T WOULD BE NEG

Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 4th. 1916.
My Dear Sir:
It being impossible for me as a can
didate for election as Governor of Iowa
to meet every voter in the State per-
sonally. am writing you this letter,
to state my position upon the roads
question.
AS publisher of farm paper, my
business interests are closely related
to the prosperity of the farmers OF
Iowa; anything detrimental to the well
fare of the rural citizen is likewise
detrimental to me. I CERTAINLY
WOULD NOT, THEREFORE, ADVO-
CATE ANY ROAD POLICY WHICH
WOULD WORK A HARDSHIP UPON
THE FARMERS, BURDEN THEM
WITH TAXATION, OR FORCE UPON
THEM IMPROVEMENTS WHICH
THEY COULD NOT AFFORD OR DID
NOT DESIRE.
You and are both working for the
good of Iowa We both believe that
good roads are desirable and that
we've been spending too much money
on our roads for the results we have
obtained. / AM NOT FOR PAVING,
EITHER BRICK OR CONCRETE, OR
FOR ANY $1OO,OO0,OOO BOND ISSUE.
My position on the road question is
summed up i'm the word: BETTER
ROADS-NO INCREASE IN TAXA
TON. l want you to get dollars
worth of roads for every dollar you
spend in taxation, and do not believe
you are getting it now.
To be brief: am, first, for perma-
nent bridges. believe the money we
put into temporary bridges is money
thrown away because they will need
repairs in comparatively short time
and in eight or ten years will need to
be taken out and replaced. Many Iowa
counties are spending but very small
portion of their bridge fund for per-
manent bridges; and this believe to
be mistake. l would most earnestly
urge. that every dollar possible be APP
piled to the erection of permanent
bridges.
We spend large amount of money
cutting down the hills, in piece-meal
way 1t is costing us from soc to SOC
a yard for moving dirt in Iowa. If we
would get enough money together to
have a contractor with proper out
fit move dirt according to cross-sec-
tons, approved by your boards of SUI.
pervisors, the cost of moving this dirt
could be reduced 500. In other words,
a dollar would go twice as far as it
does now.
The trouble is, we are doing a little
work this year and then stopping, and
little work next year, none of which
is permanent. and all done in as ex-
pensive manner as it could possibly
be done. If you or individually knew
we were going to spend certain sum
of money the next four or five years
for cutting down hills, and by antici-
pating it and getting it in lump sum
at once a contractor could deliver us
vice as much service for the money
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-11-02

as when we spent it on new outfits
every year, and did it in small way,
then you or I. as individuals, would get
the money and have the two yards
moved instead of one. This l deem to
be good business and where it is pos
sible I would like to see it done.
I think our roads should be well
graded and drained at the sides in or
der that the water may be carried
