The election has an unusual feature
this wear from the fact that there are
two women candidates as members OF
the board. the first time in the history
of the city when this has been the case.
From the fac that Marshalltown IS
now city Of the first class. 1t becomes
necessary to increase the membership
Of the board to seven members instea d
Of five. This necessilates the election
Of three mem bers Of the board Monday
instead Of one.

10 succeed Harry Jennings in the per
son of George L. Owings, paying teller
Of the First National Bank. AS the

Robbins Says SHOULD Vote For Three"
The ballot was prepared by Secre-
tary W. NJ Clark on instruc-
tons from Assistant Attorney Cen
eral C, A. Robbins.
Nr Robbins when intervie wed today
over the telephone. said that the way
the question had been put up to him
was that Mt. Lawrence had filed to
succeed himself and that the other
candidates had fled only for the two
new places added by the entry Of Mar
shutdown into a city Of the first class
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1916-03-11

When informed that the woman candi-
dates had filed for any vacancy exist
ing he said that under such circum-
stances the printing Of Mr.. 'Lawrence's
name separately was an undue adj
vantage and one not contemplated by
the law: that while q judge might not
hold an election invalidated, the safe
and just way would be that all names
be printed on the ballot without any
particular distinction except perhaps
ARRANGEMENT in alphabetical order;
that three blanks should he marked be-
low the names on the ballot, affording
voters opportunity to write in new
names of their choice if DESTROYS OF
voting fer persons not named on the
ballot and that voters should be d.

Working Hard For Women.
Supporters of the women candidates
on the board are working hard for
their election. and today are publishing
in the Times Republican advertising
matter setting forth the qualifications
a their candidates. Neither Miss Hos
teller nor Mrs Moscrip was consulted
before her petition was filed as a can
didate, and neither was advised Of the
advertising to be published.
Women May Vote on Tax Issue.
In addition to the election of three
directors and a treasurer. there are two
on which to vote. One is
the authorization of tax levy for $780,
900 for installing new heating and ven
latng systems in school houses and
for the purpose Of buying additional
school grounds. and for remodeling
present school buildings. This amount
asked is double that voted each year
for repairs to buildings. and the extra
amount is sought by the board in order
that old school buildings may be made
more sanitary by modern ventilation
and that sites may be purchased for
new school buildings that are needed.
The plans are for additional sites for
the First and Fifth wards.
On this question the women of the
city may vote.
The other ballot is for the authorize
ton of the board to sell the old Hart
" ell school property and place the pro-
ceeds in the school house fund.

LOCAL COMMENTS

The school election in the city will be
held Monday at which time three d.
rectors are to be elected from five cam
d'dates. two Of whom are women. The
voters also will be asked to vote the
usual money needed for maintenance
OF the buildings. Heretofore the
amount asked and voted has been $l5.-
600. but this year the board has asked
for $4,000 SO as to provide for vents
iating plants in some of the old build
ings and to purchase sites for two new
buildings and to remodel one of the
old buildings.
The women Of the town who want
the ballot can show in this school elsc5
ton just how badly they want to vote
by voting on the school tax for better
ments. 1t has been said that woneI
voters would pay more attention to
school affairs and less to the tariff,
that they would be strong for public
sanitation and health and less con-
cerned in subsidies for farmers insti-
tutes. Here is their opportunity. A
tax has been asked for ventilating pub
lie school buildings so as to prevent
the spread Of children's diseases thru
school New sites are needed a once
for buildings which must go up in a
year or two and all of the old buildings
are constantly in need of repairs. VIII
the women of the town vote when they
can? And win they vote for better
ment of the public service? Let US see.

The petition containing the names Of
three-fourths of the voters in Greens
castle township asking for the perma-
nent grading of the entire county road
system, even tho bonds might have to
be issued for the swork, Is Sepresenta-
tive Of public sentiment upon this sub
tect in at least one part Of the county.
Experience with mass meetings. in other
counties has shown that where the
meetings are composed largely OF
township officers as the one was in
Marshalltown some opposition to the
improvement Of county roads arises,
but that meetings such as those in
Clay. Hardin and Cerro Gordo counties,
in which township officers do not pre-
dominate. resulted in unanimous ex-
pressions for the work to be done while
the people of today are yet alive to
enjoy the results. 1t seems too much
for human nature to resist to ask that
all township officers who handle town
ship funds on township roads will be
willing for county roads to improve
faster than Is possible for township
roads under the limitations of presen:
laws. In the contracting for perma-
nent ading the board of supervisors
should begin work in those localities in
which there seems to be the greatest,
demand. Greencastle township is en-
titled to immediate response. So long
as there are to be no bonds issued for
graveling the board can go forward
just as rapidly as It pleases with the
grading. Hills once cut to grade will
stay cut forever. Their benefits will
be enjoyed by taxpayers long after
any kind of bond has been
paid and taxpayers of at least few
years into the future should be pay
ing their share toward a work which
is to serve them as well as the people
of today.
About five miles in each county is all
the roads that have been put to per-
manent grade each year out Of curren-
revenues so great is the need for con-
slant repairs to mud roads. At this
rate it is going to take thirty years
more to put the county road system OF
Iowa to permanent grade ready for
surfacing unless bonds are issued and
the work advanced. Marshall county
has not yet permanently graded one
mile altho several miles have been
partially completed and Marshall has
more than an average mileage in its
county road system.
