tributed to his campaign. but he has
proved himself to be wonder in the
modern business world for business
efficiency,
Harding voted for bill in the legis-
lature which would have permitted
insurance companies TO combine as TO
rates. whereas Meredith would prevent
bridge contractors combining on us by
keeping the present road law in effect.
Harding introduced bill for state
fire marshall at cost of $l3,500 be-
cause the fire insurance companies
wanted to reduce their losses and have
the state pay for the service but when
that the least government is the best
government" Meredith says that if he
Is governor the state agents appointed
by him will enforce the prohibitory
law against Illegal liquor selling with
out a wink OF their left eye. even in
the counties which desire the least gov
eminent on the liquor question.
Harding says that he is fighting
paved roads but he voted in the legis-
lature for a law giving the boards of
supervisors the right to order paved
roads whenever they pleased and to
assess not less than half the cost or
all of it to the farmers living adjacent
to the road. Meredith says that he
would not give anybody the right to
pave road until a majority of the
people in road district have voted
for il.
These two men are as unlike as
alcohol and gasolene. One is destruc-
tive while the other is constructive.
The odor of the one is popular only in
bad company while the odor of the
other is respectable in any kind of
company. The one man has been
dubbed the apostle of stagnation"
while it can fairly be said OF Meredith
that he has the disposition and ability
to promote measures for better and
cleaner Iowa.

two bridges were required very CLOSE
to each other. One Of the old bridges
was recently destroyed by high water.
The other 10 in very bad condition.
New bridges constructed on the old
roads would be ct q very bad skew

mended that the road be relocated, 30
that ono bridge would servo in place
CT two. This bridge was to be con-
structed at right angles to the stream.
Local sentiment demanded that the
new bridge which the board proposed
to build. be located on the old road.
This sentiment would have been strong
enough to force the board Of super
visors into building the skew bridge
on the old road.
Plans were prepared for the bridge
in each location. and bids received.
These plans were for steel bridges. A
demand arose for q concrete bridge.
New plans were prepared. and new
bids received. The contract had to
come to the commission for approval
After considerable discussion and
numerous conferences between the
board OF supervisors, interested citi-
zens. and the highway commission.
the commission was able to convince
the people that the best plan was to
relocate the road so that one bridge
would do for two. The saving effected
was 314,l00. as follows:

On Aug. 3. 1915 bids were received
by Pottawattamie county for the con-
struction OF a 1G9-foot steel bridge,
with two thirty-two foot approach
spanA The lowest bid received at this
letting was t7,254. The county was to
furnish, without expense to the con-
tractor all Of the structural and re-
inforcfng steel. at tho site Of the
bridge. In addition. the contractor was
allowed 70 use the county's equipment.
The contract awarded by the board
Of supervisors was forwarded tostha
commission fpr approval. The conf
mission refused: the price was too
high. Tho work was re advertised on
Aug. 81. A bid Of $3.50 was secured
on exactly the same structure. Tho
contractor agrees to furnish his own
equipment. A saving OF 1904. plus the
use Of the county's equipment, was
made. The net saving to the county 10

MACHINERY VERY

in the way of the erection OF our sugar
factory at Las Cruces" said s. ". Sin
sheimer. manager Of the Holly Sugar
company. Mr.. Sinsheimer. after visit
ing the site at Las Cruces and being
assured by the town officials that in
the reincorporation Of the city, his
plant would be omitted from the city
limits, came down TO Ell Paso yester-
day. accompanied by ". B. Vaudeville,
president Of the Union Bank and Trust
sheImer conferred here with ". G.
Roe. who has interested himself large
" in pushing the beet sugar industry
for the FL Paso valley.
Although machinery is now so per
cent higher than it was before the war"
continued Mr.. Sinsheimer, discussing
the prospects Of the Las Cruces fac
tory. "Our company has set aside the
money to buy at the present prices and
we have taken every step possible
to secure machinery and ma
terial for our Las Cruces plant, but 1t
is almost impossible to get structural
steel and machinery at present
1t is not a question OF price: II is

We are not haggling over the price. al
though a factory erected now would
cost many thousand dollars more than
any factory we have ever built 1t
is lust a question of whether money
can buy the machinery and the steel
we need"
Mr.. Sinsheimer left for California
and the west today He viii probably
stop at Phoenix, where his company
last year took over the Glendale sugar
factory.
Mr.. Vaudeville. who represents Mr..
Sinsheimer and the company in their
dealings in the Mesilla valley, will take
over the site for the company as soon
as Las Cruces is reincorporated with
the plant site omitted from the city
limits Meantime, the plans for the
factory have been drawn and the or
ders for machinery and steel have been
placed.
Mr.. Vaudeville was asked il it were
impossible to erect the factory in time
for the 1917 crop OF beets, would the
company take over the crop anyhow,
and ne replied: The factory will be
built But. il it should not be built
the first year. the company would buy
the beets at the same price II has con-
rracted for them and would absorb
the freight on them to its nearest fac
rory in Colorado The fact that the
