Do We Get Our shareo

AS noted in Wallaces' Farmer last
week, both the senate and house OF
the national congress have passed
road bills which carry with them ap-
preparations of about SIS, 100000.
This money is to be paid to the
states in the manner described in the
article in question, and under the re-
strictions therein mentioned.
1t should be noted particularly
that this government money VIII 20
only to states which have established
highway commissions. At the pres
ent time, forty-three states are
handling their road affairs under
another This is matter of inter-
est to us just now. Iowa has state
highway commission, but there is a
very definite movement to do away
With it and go back to the old lack
of-system plan of handling our road
work In a number of counties, the
effort is being made TO pledge candi-
dates for the legislature to vote in
favor of abolishing the state highway
commission. If enough candidates
can be pledged to do this, the COM
mission probably will be abolished.
In this case, what will become Of
the government money for Iowa? 1t
is likely that we will be entitled to
several millions of this money. 1t is
very certain that Iowa will contribute
good many millions to the fund. Ii
we should abolish the state highway
commission, therefore, we would be
in the position of paying taxes to the
extent of good many million dollars
for the benefit Of good roads in other
states, and get none of the benefit
ourselves.
There is no question but that con-
gress will agree upon this govern
ment aid law. Would it not be we'll
for us to go little slow in pledging
our candidates for the legislature for
any movement looking toward the
adjustment of our highway commits
sion? 1t would be rather difficult for
the Iowa farmers to see the humor in
a situation under which they would
be taxed to build good roads in 9th
err states and get none of the benefit

me. Anyhow, it will do me good to

So John took the train to Bramp-
