"One Touch of Nature Makes the

It's commendable trait that when
something has been of benefit to us. we
want to share it with others who stand
in need of the same help. It's the touch
Of Nature that makes the whole world
kin-the wanting to be helpful to our
fellow men. That is why people who
have used Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy write letters to the manufacturers
about it, and ask to have them pub

Iowa house Of representatives are sit

a keg Of dynamite with the fuse al
ready lighted.
Friends of the highway commission
idea of road administration who be-
slieve that the highway commission
should be retained as d supervisory
rather than an advisory body have per-
fected an organization and now claim
that they will be able to control the
house.
They say that a majority OF members
have pledged themselves to support
legislation along the lines Of a bill now
being drafted and which will be pre-
sented to the house soon.
Members of the faction who are in
.terested in the present movement in
behalf Of the highway commission are
still keeping under cover, but are lining
up FOR test Of strength at the first
important bit of road legislation
offered.
No effort is as yet planned by these
men to dominate any legislation other
than road measures.
The bill which they will present in
opposition to the measure of the john
ston men will include the following
features:
The Opposition Program.
Retention OF the highway commits
sion without material reduction in it's
powers.
Increasing of local powers Of boards
Of supervisors, and elimination, so far
as it is possible, Of engineering expense
upon temporary work.
Decrease in expenditure of engineer
ing and in expenses Of commission SO
that material reduction may be made
in the present per cent share of the
automobile road tax devoted to ex-
penses Of the highway commission.
Accepting of the provisions Of the;
Shackleford bill for federal aid in road
work. \ s4sf ss <
Permitting direct appeal from county
boards to the highway commission.
The bill is expected to gain much
support from members who had been
counted upon as favorable to the Pitt
program. which, while not intending to
do away with a state body OF some.
kind working in conjunction with the
county supervisors, contemplates the
making Of the state highway commits
sion or engineer as much an advisory
body as possible.
The bill is to contain much the same
provisions as the Pitt program in re-
gard to cutting down engineering ,ex
penses and extehding local control
Anti-eitt Men Active. Il
The anti-Pitt forces have been

In any event they are sure they
have enough strength to block any
