TO explain the method is may
be assumed that the gross quota

soon find that the working frac-

given for officers i'm either the
army or guard, only enlisted men
being considered.
Take the city of Des Moines. foe
instance, and apply the system.
The population is about 10000

800 as the number of men to be

562 men for the guard up to June

furnished 43S men for the army

ut has been the experience in
the armies of Europe that men
between the ages of 25 and 35
years make the best officers. Men
of these ages, with certain

lutte fairness, with full credit to-
the patriotic counties which have
furnished men for the guard and
the regular army, will mark the
working of the selective CON
scription in Iowa.
Those counties whose citizens
have volunteered literally will not
have to furnish as many drafted
men as those counties whose cii-
zens have not promptly rallied to
the colors. When the draft is
completed each county in the
state will have an equal number
of men in the army, based upon
the population, and not the num-
Der who registered on June 5.
Following the work of the reg
istration boards who gathered the
names Of 2t6,299 men between
the ages of 81 and 80 inclusive.
the president upon recommends
ton of Gov. w. L.. Harding has
appointed a local board i'm each
county, except Clinton, which has
two. A similar board has been
named in Waterloo, Council
Bluffs, Dubuque, Cedar Rapids,
four in Des Moines, two in Dav-
export, and two in Sioux City
There is total of 212 local

compared to $4,000 for tie same
period iii 1916.
The apparent shortage of 1894,
$40 is reduced somewhat by the
saving in expense due to the fact
that new number plates are not
required this year. This saving
amounts to $62,5OO on the cars
registered up to June 4, reducing
the loss to $33t,819.
This shortage was already be-
coming apparent when the last
legislature was in session, and a
bill was introduced by the motor
vehicle committee of the house to
repeal the law and return to the
old sytem. The economy fac
ton fought the repeal, and as a
result the law remained un-
changed, save for amendments to
obtain a more complete registra-
ton of dealers cars. During the
arguments over the bill it became
SO badly balled up that Governor
Harding was compelled to veto
the whole thing.
Delinquent lists are now being
prepared and will be forwarded to
lcounty attorneys in the state in
an effort to collect the sums due.

Unless it proves possible in
some way to collect the delin-

the year will be at least $780, 900.
