OUT OF THE HoMEsNEAD's OWN MOUTH

Many persons who have been reading
the sample copies OF the Iowa Home
stead and the reprints from it upon
which somebody or some interests have
been paying postage are certain TO wake
up with a bad taste in their mouths
after the campaign is over if they have
not already fathomed the purposes OF
Pierce and the pose Of both Pierce and
the republican candidate as defenders
Of the taxpayers as the appeal by shifty
politicians.
The Homestead is opposed to the
highway commission. It together with
the candidate it IS supporting sneers at
all the year round roads. Listen to the
Iowa Homestead of January 80, 1918:
The good roads problem was never
more important in Iowa than today. Nor
was the time ever more opportune for
a practical solution Of me problem Iowa
is more nearly unit today in demand
ing that its highways shall be put into
such condition as to render them pass
able ALL THE YEAR ROUND than it
has ever been before The question is.
how shall this work be best accomplish
ed? 1t is no longer question Of
whether good roads shall be had or not
it is now question Of how to go about
it to get good roads.
What the Homestead wanted was
systematic" work, it wanted "co-rela-
ton Of effort" and proposed a connected
road system for the state. Read:
We are firmly convinced that there
are certain underlying principles upon
which most Of the practical good roads
workers are agreed) SO sound they
must, OF necessity, be adopted If the
work which the present Iowa legislature
does is to have the permanent value for

SUPERIOR COURTS.


Shenandoah has superior court. AT
the coming election the question is to
be submitted. whether that court is to
be continued or not. There are 604
names on the petition asking that the
question be submitted. That seems to
indicate that the court is not very pop
ular, and while. as a rule il is very
difficult matter to get an office abol-
ished, it looks as il Shenandoah might
try to worry thru without a superior
court in the future. There are but few
superior courts in the state. There are
many beautiful arguments in favor of
the court, but this is another case,
where theory and practice do not seem
to "j!be". Very many people ignore
the argument and have made up their
minds that the superior court exists
for the purpose of providing a JOB for
lawyer without clients. Where the
court has been established. it is claim
ed that the promised saving in time
and money fails to materialize.

BEGGING in STREET
STRONGLY CONDEMNED
Associated Charities Fears Beggars
Will Flock Into National
Capital.

Street begging was condemned un-
sparingly in resolutions adopted yester-
day afternoon by the board of managers
of the Associated Charities at a regular
monthly meeting. The resolutions point
out that the present policy of many cities
forbidding begging has resulted in the
influx OF many beggars here, where the
regulations are not so strictly enforced.
The board claims II begging is permitted
the word will soon go broadcast that
Washington offers an attractive field
and many beggars will gravitate here.
A recent investigation conducted by the
Associated Charities shows that several
of the addresses recently given by street
beggars to the police department are
false. In taking its action the Asso-
ciated Charities concludes by saying
that in the interests of the community
and the permanent well-being of these
would-be mendicants the Commissioners
Of the District of Columbia and the police
department are urged to keep the streets
free Of beggars; that to this end the
Associated Charities will be glad to CO.
operate in investigating the needs of
any such mendicants and of making a
plan which shall provide for their proper
care.
The board officially approved the joint
resolution introduced in Congress author
izing and directing the Department of
Labor to make an inquiry into the cost
Of living of wage-earners in the District
of Columbia and to report thereon to
Congress as early as practical.

Urges Support of Single

FAVOR BAILEY TAX BILL

Further opposition to the proposed
change of the Commissioners in the To-
cal school system was voiced by the
Southwest Citizens Association at
meeting in the jefferson School last night.
The action came after c. N. Thompson,
principal of the school, had compared in
detail the present system with the one
proposed by the Commissioners.
Principal Thompson. who has been in
the local schools since 1895, said he had
grave doubts that the Commissioners
! would be able to find five public spirited
citizens who would be willing to serve
on the proposed advisory board OF edu-
cation with no powers but those granted
by the Commissioners, a view expressed
editorially in The Washington Herald
several weeks ago.
The false advertising" campaign of the
Retail Merchants Association was in
dorsed by the association, and ]. w. Wat
son selected to represent the organiza-
ton on the "ad vigilance committee" The
action of the association carried with II
an Endorsement of the proposed law
against false advertising, which the mer-
chants will endeavor to have enacted by
Congress.
After Assistant Secretary OF Labor.
Louis F. Post, has urged the people OF
the District to support the bill introduces
in Congress a few days ago by Rep
resentative w. W. Bailey. providing for
single tax for the District. the
association indorsed the measure.
Mr.. Post denounced all taxation as "an
enforced contribution" taken from what
people Justly earn in order to run the
city. He declared that IL land values
were taxed, the city would take into its
treasury the ever-increasing sums of
money which, he said, are now going
into the hands Of realty spectators.
A special committee reported that,
after a legal investigation, II was of the
opinion that the Wilson alley bill, which
provides for the abolition of all alleys
in the District after 1913, is constitutional.
The report was adopted.
Aresolution was adopted requesting the
Commissioners to ask Congress for an
appropriation for a playground for the
children of the Southwest, who have
no recreation facilities.
