the hope Of strengthening the cam
paign OF the Greater Iowa Association
for better roads.
\ A very careful canvass of the legis-
lature last Saturday. made by officers
Of the association, showed not only a
sufficient strength In the senate tc
carry thru 4 reasonable program In
road fegislation, but Il showed fifty
members OF the lower house friendly
to the road program as outlined by the
association.
These twelve meetings being held
this week are for the purpose OF dis
cussing the road question in the coun-
ties where the members OF the legis-
iature are doubtful. and the hope Ia
very confidently expressed by the as
sociatioh's officers that they will be
able to get the support Of the members
from at least half of the twelve coun-
ties.
This would mean thaH there would
be enough strength in both houses 10
