IOWA SPENDS BIG
AMOUNT ON ROADS
REPORT SAYS s1s,s25, 1864 WAS Ex
80. PENDED IN 1915. ~-
$6,629,252 WENT INTO BRIDGES
Last Year Ala Per Cent of the Work
was Permanent as Against So
Per Cent In 1914 Cost of
Construction Decreasing.

Des Moines, June Iowa spent
$13,525,364 on roads and bridges in
1913, according to statement pub
lished by the state highway commits
sion in the June bulletin.
The amount invested in the roads
last year has now been definitely de.
termined The first estimate was
$11 100000. But as the reports of
the county engineer were received,
the amount grew.
The report shows that $6,62925
went into bridges; $3,4O3, 900 to the
county road system and $3,17L000
to the township road system.
Permanent Work Increases.
In 1914 the state spent 81 col 900
on roads and bridges; 1913 per cent
of the work on roads being permanent
and SO per cent of the bridges and cul-
vert work being permanent In 1915,
Ala per cent of the road work was
permanent and 61.6 per cent of the
bridge work was permanent. County
engineering figured 2.75 per cent and
the state highway expense go per
cent, total of 1885 per cent for engin-
eering
The reason that the amount spent
last year is reported larger than
the lrst statement is due to the fact
that investigation by the state high
way commission brought out that the
counties had not reported $1,156,341
cash received and expended on the
roads and bridges. One county re-
ported $16,072 collected in the coun-
ty road fund This was investigated
and it was found that in reality the
county had collected $1S,619 ond
$l3,840 auto taxa total of $32,559.
Another county reported $3,257
collected in thecounty road cash fund.
1t was found that the amount actually
collected was $19,642.
The commission says:
Cost Is Decreasing.
During 1915 there were 1927 miles
of road constructed to permanent
grades at a cost of $618,13S.00, or
$4,000 per mile; 1863 miles con-
structed to temporary grades at a cost
of $242,e86.00 or $6S2.00 per mile;
2,35S.S miles constructed to natural
grades at a cost of 1859, 205.00, or
$1,000 per mile; 1872 miles were hard
surfaced, and 15,4O0 miles were drag
ged an average of twenty-nine times.
at an average cost Of $0,713 per mile

complished during 1915 with that ac-
complished during 1914, is as follows:

Paterson, N. J.-If there is any sport ing blood in the veins of the industrious burglars who have made professional visits to Leon Friedmann's jewelry store here at regular intervals 1t is hardly possible that they can ignore their victims final appeal.
 Double locks, bars, burglar alarms and watchmen having proved equally futile, Friedmann decided to make a personal entreaty to the entire profes- sion of burglars after a visit which cost him S2,0OO He wrote this com municadon and caused 1t to appear In both the afternoon papers here, on the theory that an up to date burglar must read one of the two:

We feel that we have done our share toward your support; there fore We would deem 1t great favor If you would take your trade elsewhere in future, at least until We can recover from the many losses we have suffered in the past, all of which, unfortunately, are our own.

 Henry took his mother out to the barn. where bis shouts In her ear would not reach the wife in the house, and told her to keep count every day of the times his wife used the tele- phone. The wife managed to hang around every time Ellen was telephOn- ing, and she strained her ears to hear every word.
 One day there was ring. and Henry was called for. He had just come up from the field and made an excuse that he wanted a drink of water He rushed for the telephone. and the wife rushed after him She could not hear what was said by the other party. but she thought there was blush on his face as he answered. After a talk of two minutes he replied to the other party that he would be there about 8 o'clock in the evening. This was alto gether too bold. She was being hu- initiated in her own house. Henry was wearing his hat. She cuffed 1t of his head and blazed forth:
 Henry Howe, if you are going to see that girl this evening will follow you every step of the way. and will pull every hair out of her head!T
 You had better stay home and talk over the wire to the feller who escorted you to the Sunday school picnic!" he retorted.
 Taunts were flying back and forth when a thunderstorm that had been gathering for the last hour suddenly broke. and a thunderbOlt instead of striking the barn made a straiPbt wake | for the house. It knocked abUGt hun dred shingles off the roof. wrecked a bedstead upstairs and then tore that telephone out by the roots and pros trated man and wife and mother. Ii did not seriously injure them. and in half an kOur they were able to sit up and smell the birthstone and survey the desolation.
 "Goodr' exclaimed Henry as he pointed to the telephone lying on the floor
 "Goodr' added his wife as sbe also saw 1t
 You never went with a teller to the picnic|
 And you don't care two cents about that freckled face girl!'

The natives of Trinidad make use of the young guaCharO in an unusual man ner. The young are very fat and are frequently found to weigh more than the full grown birds. Their fat Is used by the natives to produce an oil which Is a substitute for butter, Also 1t Is frequently the custom of the natives to draw a wick through the body of a young guacharo and use 1t as lamp or candle. Thus the guacharo is some times called the oil bird.

She finds out her mistake when they

her heart. Of course not all marry
professionals but they turn their home
into gambling den and start their own
as well as their friend children off in
the wrong direction. The end of such
a life is full of sorrow-even death.

As we understand it, in a democratic
form of government, the right of the
people to pass upon all important ques-
tons affecting their welfare, has never
been denied, and when the majority of
the people so expressed themselves,
became the supreme law: vox populi
vox Del. This right is accorded to the
people on all other important questions
and why should it be denied them when
it comes to the liquor question? The
proposition to submit this question to
the people is now made in the Mary
land Legislature, and the proposition is
met by representatives of the liquor
traffic, notwithstanding said traffic is
represented by minority of members,
with refusal to allow the people to
express their views by popular vote on
this very important question. If the
liquor interests have the power to do
this, how long will it be before they
will say that the people cannot pass up
on any important question? Where Is
this arrogancy to stop and is govern
ment by the will of the people to be
abolished? We are told in a boasting
and defiant manner by one of said in
terest's shining light in a speech op-
posing this measure in the Maryland
Legislature the other day, that if this
question was submitted to the people,
and majority of the voters of the
State adopted it as the law of the State,
that the liquor interests in Baltimore
City would nullify this law; that its
Grand Juries would not indIct violaters
of it; that the Petit Juries would not
convict; that officers of the law, whose
sworn duty it is to enforce the same,
would violate their oath of office and
refuse to discharge their duty. Can
this be true, and if true, is it because
the liquor interests have the city by
the throat? We have heard rumors
that such is the case, but this is the
first time that we have. ever heard it
boast of the fact. Then again we no.
tce that while its advocates are in the
minority in the Legislature, it boasts
that it has the power to block all legs-
lation and bring the wheels of the State
Government to standstlll, and threat
ems so co do, unless the people of the
State bow down to this dragon. If
these reports, as published, are true, it
is about tine for the people of the
State to sit up and take notice. And
if this monster can control the juries
Of the city and the officers of the law
and block all much-needed legislation
by the Maryland Legislature, then we
must conclude that this arrogant boast
ing demon has its claws firmly fixed in
the vitals Of d part Of the State at
least, and should be destroyed before it
throttles the entire commonwealth.
