iowa Library Comm ssion.

In the effort TO simplify the state
government by reducing the numner OF
commissions and unnecessary offices.
some discussion is necessary. They
can not Justly be punched in one ctas-
sitiCatiOn.
The state library commission is a
case in point. 1t Is the outgrowth OF
an altrulst!c spirit. The members OF
the commission serve without compen-
sation. They do this because they
seek to promote an educational work OF
great value TO the community. The
commission is efficient in popularizing
the public libraries and creating pop
u!ar desire for good reading. BY means
of the travelling library the best books
in the state library become available to
the residents in small towns and re-
mote neighborhoOds. where there are
no public libraries. When the results
Of such a system Of universal disSem
nation Of the best there IS in literature
history. science, the arts, and numef-
Gus special studies are considered. II -
not surprising that the members Of the
commission become enthusiastic ana
are zealouSly devoted to their noble
mission.
State library commissions are main
tanned in many of the best states IN
the union They are no longer Al eX-
neriuent. They have been tested out
and found to be invaluable aids in the
dissemination Of knowledge and in the
culture of the mind. Iowa now ranks
nigh among this class Of states ad-
vanced in culture and learning. THIS
state has the lowest record Of litter
acv. II is not only rich in material
prosperity, but il has a reputation in
the higher elements of good citizen
shin. We can not afford 10 mar the
bright record by abolishing the com
mission or hiding it from public view
as a mere clerical appendage of some
office irrelevant to this special work.
The library commission is fine ad-
vertisement for Iowa If we would at
tract to our commonwealth people OF
culture and people who value all the
chnica things in intellectual life, we
should continue to wear the habili-
uents Of culture and a thirst for
knowledge, Those are things that
count in the material development and
progress Of Iowa.
The library commission is good att
verrising card for Iowa. Let It con-
Time it's work Of publicity abroad and
education at home.-Burlington HawR<

HAS BEEN DONE
IN THE UNITED STATES

The state of Louisiana has an enorm-
Gus publicly owned cotton warehouse,
the largest institution Of its kind in the
world. The warehouse handles cotton
at s1.00 less per bale than the charges
hitherto exacted by privately owned
warehouses. The state of Louisiana
also owns and operates an enormous
grain elevator costing .s1.250,000 equip
ped so that it can load 100000 bushels
of grain per hour. There are 1872 pub
licly owned elevators in Canada oper-
ated by cooperative associations OF
farmers with the help and support Of
the government
Under public ownership in Milwau-
kee, water costs on an average 25 cents
per family per month. That is just
one-fifth what it costs under private
ownership in several Wisconsin cities
under similar conditions The city of
Omaha, Nebraska, took over it's water
plant in 1912 Service that used to cost
$21.8Sa year now costs $15.26. There
are over 5000 cities in the United
States that own their water plants and
most of them are making good records.
So too with gas. Duluth used to pay
s1.S0 per thousand feet for gas. The

Michigan, manages to get coal to its
people through municipal fuel yard
at a reduction of from s1.75 to $4.00 a
ton; and those who were compelled to
buy in small quantities were saved
at the rate Of from $1,000 to $14.00 q
ton. Many other cities are making
equally good records.
In England the municipal ownership
of street car lines has reduced the cost
of street car service to a little less than
two cents ride on the average. San
Francisco has made a good beginning
and five other American cities are fol-
lowing suit. In Zurich, Switzerland.
the municipal dwellings built upon land
owned by the city have reduced the
rents just about one-third. Many other
cities in France, Germany and even in
South America have done as well. Thus
wherever the principle of public owner
ship is applied and brought under pro-
per control and direction, it has been
made to reduce the cost of living.

liberty and democracy President
Townley further said: "The farmers
patriotism is big enough and broad
enough to make up for the war prof
