THE RAILWAYS ARE WILLING
Ready to Abandon Liquor Traffic Be-
cause They Do Not Care for
the Business.

Des Moines, Jan. 1.-THE railroads
OF Iowa are so ready and willing to
abandon the liquor traffic because
they do not care for the business.
This was the sentiment expressed
by James G. Davis, attorney for the
Chicago and Northwestern, who fav-
ors meeting Attorney General H. M.
Havner more than half way in his de-
sire to stop Immediately the SHIPMENTS
of liquors into Iowa for private con-
sumption.

OF the Webb-Kenyon law, district
Judge Utterback here today handed
down a decision stating that only IL
censed druggists may legally receive
intoxicants in Iowa and they may not
sell it if used as beverage.
9 The Whitmore private consumption
bill passed in the last legislature was
declared unconstitutional because its
title was improper.

les of liquor is presumed to be for H.

Beer and malt liquors cannot be
shipped into Iowa at all TO anyone, be-
cause no one is legally authorized to
sell beer in Iowa.
If upheld by the highest court, this
decision would make Iowa bone dry

HOW IOWA MAY
GET. ROAD FUNDS
STATES SHARE FOR 1917 s14e, 17s
F.. FOR S YEARS, $2,1e2,s34.
VIEW OF U. S. ROAD OFFICIALS
Not Necessary To Retain So-caIIed
Highway Commission But Must
Have Official or Officials With
All the Power They Have.

Washington, Jan. lit will not
be enough for Iowa to retain its
highway commission if the state
hopes to share in the $75,000,000 fed
eral good roads fund authorized by
the last congress.
The state authority with which the
government must deal must have
power not merely to advise but to di-
rect. 1t must be supreme over
county and local authorities in all
matters relating to the roads on
which Uncle Sans money is to be
spent.
Iowa's share in the $5,0OO,OOO to be
distributed among the states in 1917
would be $146, 175.6O. Her total
share over the five year period Gov
cred by the federal appropriation
would be $2,192,634.
This is the emphatic view of Off
Gals of the United States office of
public roads, which will have charge
of the federal good roads fund.
1t is not necessary that Iowa retain
a so-called highway commission, but
ii is necessary that she have some
central state commission, official or
officials-by whatever name they may
go, with all the essential powers
that the present commission has.
Oklahoma, for example, has a state
highway commission, yet Oklahoma
will not share in the distribution of
federal funds until the legislature
amends it's laws broadening the com
missions powers and giving it more
direct control over state road work,
A state must show that its highway
commission not only has power to
direct construction of roads along
federal approved lines but to enforce
their maintenance.
Road projects of substantial
character rather than for ordinary
rural roads or grading are contem-
plated under the federal aid.
