Outstanding of the highway issue In
Iowa. The real problem is to get bet

Does Mr.. Harding offer any suges-
tons for the solution Of this simple
problem? Not one.
For the year 1915 Iowa expended on
roads and bridges the huge sum Of $1s,-
COG, 299. Only two states, New York
and California, exceeded this outlay.
Altho standing third from the top on
total expenditures for roads and
bridges, Iowa stands 43rd from the top
fifth from the bottom-in per cent

Just what should Iowa do to correct
this situation?

question and farmers taxes. Mr.. Hard

the present levies-which, by the way.
he helped to establishment has he
made any pretense of outlining plan
to get better values for the taxes now
collected.
If Mr. Harding has any specific
knowledge of conditions contributing to
excessive expenditures for roads and
bridges in Iowa, he must know that the
funds are distributed in such q way
that too large a proportion Of the
money goes for supervision and too
small proportion for actual construc-
ton work
Just as an illustration, let it be sup

FIGHTING BOOTLEGGERS.
Mort Dodge MESSENGER


Several newspaper reporters en-
ployed by the Des Moines News re-
Gently made a raid on some thirst
pariors in Des Moines and found that
intoxicating liquors we're being sold
contrary to law. About the same time
the police conducted a raid and found
nothing. The Des Moines Capital COM
menting on the matter suggests that
the chief OF police call in two good
police reporters who are strangers to
the city and that in weeks time
enough evidence would be furnished to
sweep the town clean.
At the last state meeting Of police
chiefs the Fort Dodge chief of police
Merton ]. Jordan, made a suggestion
similar to the one now made BY the
Capital. Chief Jordan proposed that
the cities Of the state exchange Off
GERS. The exchange officer would. Of
course, be a stranger in the city he
worked and in plain clothes would be
used to get evidence against boot
leggers. When he became known in
one city he would be sent to another
SO far as we know nothing ever be-
came of Chief Jordan's plan.
One only has to make few visits to
police court to learn that the boot
leggers in Fort Dodge will not quit
for want of business. They have got
to be made to quit. There is really
nothing startling about the matter 1t
is to be expected that bootleggers will
follow in the wake Of prohibition. Fort
Dodge has probably no more of this
vice than the average city its size in
the state and perhaps less than some
cities Yet we have too much Of II
for the public good.
That the police have been active is
shown by the number Of arrests they
have made. Yet the police work within
limits, Bookkeeping Is not an ordinary
crime. Bootleggers are the lowest order
Of criminals. The stuff they sell is
nothing less than poison. 1t takes ex-
ira ordinary measures to put a stop to
this business. It is not to be expected
that a man, we'll known. and wearing
uniform and star can get the neces-
sary evidence that a stranger could.
II the cities OF Iowa really wan. &c
put an end to this filthy business why
not cooperate and give this exchange

WHEN TILE WOMEN WORK.


Greenfield has a Ladies' Civic i'm
provement club, which is doing ex-
cellent work. The club, among many
other good things. wanted the road to
the cemetery paved. They have been
working for this project year and
have a handsome amount in hand.
They had stand at the fair. and were
awarded handsome cash prize for the
best decorated aut0 And by and by
they expected to pave that road. OF
course, they could have besieged the
authorities and could have had the
work done at public expense But they
will get the greater satisfaction thru
having worked for ard put thru by
themselves the undertaking in which
they are interested. 1t is quite likely
that this Improvement has been before
the council and that the men claimed
that there was, no money and the work
could not be done, and the women
thereupon decided to show the men
that the thing could be done. which
the men had pronounced impossible.
Which will insure them a prompt
hearing in the future.

MONEY WASTED ON POLITICS.
TCedar RAPIDS Gazette


Prompted by curiosity an invoice of
stamps on political mail delivered on
one morning to the desk of the editor
of the Gazette showed an expenditure
of sixty cents. Whatever may have
been the cost of preparing and mailing
printed matter and matrices for car
toons should be added.
Neither party neglects to lay its dali
ly tribute before the editor. But in
this case the editor would have been
better pleased if the sixty cents had
been devoted to some practical pur-
pose--say. to the purchase of a dairy
lunch for some attraction at the zoo or
second hand wool union suit for
some destitute young man in Fiji.
The Gazette Is but one paper and
does not pose as of first magnitude in
this political game. Expenditures in
behalf of newspapers that are the real
thing in connection with partisan pro-
clivities no doubt are heavier drains
on party treasures. The national and
state central committees need the
services Of efficiency engineers. In
stead OF spending sixty cents a day on
the Gazette, each Of the two central
committees, at the cost of one postal
card. could have learned whether this
stuff would be used. loss of fifty
eIght cents on a two-cent transaction
