PERIL in MODERATE DRINKING.

FGhiL TN mOOEnRiE OntNNINS.
Doctor Ploetz, editor of the Archiv
fur Rassen-und Observation-Disclosures,
declares that ut Is just the average
moderate use of alcohol which injuries
the race more than genuine drunken
ness, since there is here relatively no
elimination through sterility or infant
mortality as is the case with the hard
drinker. Many who imagine them
selves in the category Of the wholly
moderate must actually be placed in
lower category. From the standpoint
of race hygiene, an absolute end of
the drinking Of alcohol is the most de-
sirable. The greatest need is that
the average moderate use should dis
appear-that is, drunkenness is Sec
ondary."

twenty-year period than they

Auto licenses are increasing,

double their record for last year.
Within the next twenty years
at conservative estimate Harri-
son county taxpayers are going
to dig up S1,0OO,0O0 in round fig
ures for bridges and another ST.
100000 for county roads, besides
more money for township roads.
They are going to do this at
present rates of taxation. What
is Harrison county going to get
for its money?
Suppose bonds were issued to
the extent of $4,000 per mile for
county roads for permanent grad
ing and crawling even if gravel
had to be shipped in. Scarcely
half million would be outstand-
ing at the high water mark and
they could easily be paid off out
of the 81, 100000 which is going
TO come in from present rates of
taxation.
Harrison county needs a finan-
cier worse than it needs more
| taxes, and what is true in Harri-
son county is true all over Iowa.
Taxpayers in this state dug up
| 81, 100000 for their dirt roads
last year and s5,0OO,OOO went
into temporary work to be washed
away during the winter season
and will have to done over again.
| This will waste a hundred mil
lions during the next twenty years
unless we change our ways.
A hill cut to grade in Harrison
county will stay cut forever. It's
first cost should be strung out
over as many years as is possible
under the law, so as to distribute
the tax cquitably among the tax
payers of the future who are to
use the road grade. By antici-
pating these taxes money enough
is made available to let contracts
of sufficient size to attract con-
tractors with railroad grading
outfits who can do work at low
cost. Harrison county could save
immensely on its first costs and
SO could every other county.
But suppose there should be
some difference Of opinion in Har-
rison county as to issuing bonds.
The majority of the voters should
decide. There should be some

ASSOCIATION WILL STAND
ARDIzE MARKERS

Detroit, Mich. April i5.-IT. c..
Osterman, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway association, has
just announced plans for rcpaint-
ing and standardizing the road
markers ON the route of the Lin
coin highway all across the coun-
try. This important step will be
undertaken in the Immediate flu
ture and will be of the greatest
benefit to the tourists making the
cross country trip.
1t is planned to send a trained
crew of painters over the route
TO paint all signs and Ia stand
ardize the system by replacing he
markers where necessary to make
it uniform. There will he eight
markers to the mile and two at
each turn i'm all cities and viii
lagos.
The Willys-Overland company
has contributed two specially
decorated service cars for the
purpose and the Lincoln Highway
association will furnish all ma.
tcrials, the communities along the
route being asked to contribute
proportionately to pay the sal
aries of the men doing the work.
The various localities have each
marked and painted the route in
dividually up to this time, and
while the results have been high
ly satisfactory in every way many
of the signs are now weather
beaten and some are not placed
to the best advantage, therefore
the association has undertaken
to standardize the entire system.
Each community will have the
work done at a much smaller eN-
pense than if it were to do the
work locally, Mr.. Osterman having
figured the entire expense ac-
cording to the population, ter
ritory to be benefited and the
total number of markers TO be
used, and then making an equit--
able division of the amount along
| the route.
The plan meets with high APP
prevail, as pride in the Lincoln
highway is characteristic in each
locality through which il runs.
