THE FARMERS RAILROAD.
TIaffarSan Poo


More than % per cent OF the farm
ers of Iowa move about every year
from farm to farm. Many Of them
love to places not far distant, but far
enough to make railway shipment
necessary because OF poor highways.
The county road is the farmers
"rSilroad." He uses ii for all the
hauling he possibly can. While the
railway companies are ballas1ing
tracks and leveling roadbeds. making
for increased speed in, transportation.
many farmers are standing 20 one
side and heaving monkey wrenches in
to the cylinders of highway l~egislating
machines. while the, railroad interests
stand by and laugh their approval.
Roads have as good a right to the
fair attention Of congres as rivers,
hsrbors and army bills. And all the
time roads get nothing from Uncle
Sam because Of 'divisiYe strife in the
interior Our congressman and sena-
tors don't know which way. 10 jump

10 congress. They are afraid Of thu
radical anti-road propaganda which IS,
all the time, working overtime.

LIGHTS ON ALL VEHICLES.

That a state law or city ordinance
should require that a light at night on
all vehicles, including horSe-drawn,
bicycles, motorcycles ard autes. was
forcibly demonstrated in Clinton Mon

the rear end Of a big wagon on N OF
the main streets of the city BY rea-
son Of the facts that the wagon was
without a light. that the shadows OF
the trees further obscured the vehicle

of headlights, the was not

TOO MANY


Elihu Root, addressing an as
semblage Of lawyers recently. stated
that there were too many lawyers in
the United States. He put the total at
ll4.0D. That does appear rather big.
That would be lawyer for every
900 persons in the United States. Not
every 900 people in business or every
900 voters, but one lawyer for every
900 men, women and children. And the
colleges are still turning them out at
the rate of hundreds and thousands a
year.
1t would scarcely be feasible to push
or crowd out q number of the learned
brethren that would be large enough to
give more elbow room to the others
Nor is it at all likely that an educa-
tional campaign would induce many Of
the lights OF the law to go back to the
soil or to engage in the poultry bust
ness. But something might be done
And that is that the coming young
men. who are about to choose a pro-
fession, be given a fair understandings
OF the situation. The country Is cry.
