remarked upon as the first parallel 20

suggestion is made that Iowa is about

uor and saloon interests were coming
back to power. The wringing wet vote
was appealed to upon this hypothesis.
The saloon and liquor interests have
begun their advance on time. They
are as efficient as a German army
corps. The drive will be pushed with
all the nen and money that these in
terests can command and they COM
mand plenty of money and have an
army Of voters as biddable as the
kaiser's Brandenburgers.
There is where the liquor interests
win. They work at their JOB. They
are efficient because authority is CEN

qualifications of legislator are TO be

The drys lose thru lack Of strategy
and cohesion. That is the reason the
amendment failed. That is why we:
legislators slip IN from counties that
are normally dry. Too many drys pray
aloud standing in the synagogue and lie
abed on election day.
Now the failure OF the amendment
did not change the situation IN Iowa

LEARNING TO TALK IN MILLIONS.

The people Of Iowa have learned to
talk In millions. No longer will dema-

the danger OF million dollar bond is
sues for improved roads and perma-
nent bridges when nearly every county
has raised that much for a single Lib
erty Loan and then repeated the per-

Iowa citizens bought eighty-three
millions Of dollars worth Of the last
Liberty Loan and Iowa Is Just as pros
porous az 1t ever was altho every dollar
OF the eighty-three millions was sent
out Of the state. II every county In
Iowa had voted and sold It's legal limit
Of county bonds for grsveled roads or

Suppose news dispatch carried til

Suppose a news dispatch carried this
announcement:
Washington, Des. General PERISH
ing has issued an ultimatum to the
U, S. war department in which all
the soldiers in France and at other
ports and those of the national army
in cantonments coincide. 1t states the
intention Of officers and privates to
refuse assistance in this war unless
they can be assured equal or greater
profits and pay than they We're receiv-
ing previous to the war. Unless this
assurance is given they propose to dis
pose OF all ammunition at present high
prices and sell all equipment while the
prices are highest. such action would
leave the United States helpless next
year.
Well. what elemental difference
exists between such an announcement
by the general and the troops and a
threat to sell brood sows, refusal to
sow wheat, threats to turn corn ground
into pasture, refusals to produce steel,
munitions, coal. unless equal or greater
profits accrue than the war prices
boosted by European necessities?
Those armies OF ours must have
meat Production OF fats is as neces
sa-y TO the success Of the war as
armies and munitions
Yet the inspector in charge" reports
that brood sows are being sacrificed in
more than dozen Iowa counties in the
face Of 25 per cent shortage OF hogs

food commission that Is per cent in
