WOULD STOP COUNTIES
ISSUING ROAD BONDS

A road bill to bar county super
visors from issuing bonds to pay for
debts contracted for road work and
bridge building was introduced into
the house of representatives at Des
Moines Tuesday by Representative
Gray County boards favoring the
progressive way of road building now
may stay within law by doing per-
manent road work then issuing bonds
to pay warrants for this work. If
Gray's bill passes many iowa counties
will undoubtedly be left with large
road improvements on their hands
which they will be powerless to fl
nance.
Progressive road men will fight the
bill to last ditch. Representative Gray
declares that his bill is the issue on
which the whole highway fight in the
| Legislature will center. Senator Kim
ball of Council Bluffs who was ill re-
turned to Des Moines Wednes-
day and the senate committee on cleo
lions will meet to consider his bill
to repeal presidential preference pri-
mary and amend direct primary laws.

WAS A SPLENDID LECTURE

The fourth number of the winter
lecture course which is being conduct
ed under the auspices of the CONNER
cial Club, was given at the Methodist
church Monday evening when DR.. E.
T. Hagerman gave his famous lect-
ure, "The World in Which We Live"
DR.. Hagerman is one of the greatest
lecturers on the American platform
and his lecture gave universal salts
faction. 1t was full of good thought
and greatly inspired the large audi
ence that greeted him. Owing to the
inclement weather, the attendance
was not as large as was anticipated.
DR.. Hagerman was for many years
pastor of the First Methodist church at
Des Moines and is widely known in
the state and elsewhere for he has
been popular speaker and lecturer
many years.
Tuesday morning he gave splen-
did talk to the students of the high
school where he spoke earnestly and
emphatically with regard to the fut-
ure and the necessity of each student
having a margin in credits rather
than merely meeting the required per-
centage.

NO MORE LIQUOR TO
BE SHIPPED INTO IOWA

Beer cannot be shipped into Iowa
under any conditions and liquor can
only be consigned to registered
pharmacists holding permits. Judge
Hubert Utterback so holds is the first
court construction of the Webb-Ken-
yon bill as applied to Iowa statutes.
The courts decision upholds the
contention of Attorney General Hav-
ner ruling that the Webb-Kenyon
law makes Iowa dry.
The opinion in district court is the
result of a test case arising from seiz-
ure by Superintendent w. c. Barber
of the Iowa AntiSaloon league of 49,
936 quarts of beer, two kegs of am
Der fluid and seventy-one cases OF
whisky. The stuff was confiscated at
the Rock Island depot August rs, and
was intended to quench the thirst OF
state fair visitors.

FEELING BURDEN OF
DEMOCRATIC RULE

The country is more and more
feeling the burden of democratic
rule. Chairman Kitchin of the ways
and means committee has just given
out tentative plan by which it is pro-
posed to raise revenue to meet eX-
lpenditures. The outline contains the
old reliable democratic institution OF
bond issue and also the equally de-
pendable democratic expedient of a
| floating debt 1t is only four years
since the Wilsonites rode into power
on platform that promised us relief
| from the burdens of taxation, re-
trenchment in expenditures, reduced
cost of living and numerous other re-
forms. What is the result? How
have these pledges been redeemed?
Many new forms of taxation have
been devised, but have not been ade-
quate to meet the extravaganza of the
democrats, who have turned a sur
plus into a deficit, have already Is
sued bonds to piece out the revenue
and now propose to not only issue
| $3.50, 100000 additional bonds, but to
hang a floating debt of 500, 100000
on the country. This is to meet the
requirements of single year of peace
and prosperity Recollect, too, that
| in December 1915, President Wilson
specifically counseled against expend-
itures that would exceed the revenue
estimated as available under his nov
ell plan for increased taxation, espec-
tally urging on congress that a bond
issue be not resorted to. Income tax,
surtax on incomes, excess profit tax
and all the other list of special taxes
have produced even more than was
estimated, but the treasury finds it.

PURE FOOD DEPARTMENT

During the year 1916, the inspec-
tor OF the State Dairy and Food Com
mission have inspected 24,852 Iowa
establishments to examine the kind
of food-stuffs being offered for sale,
the cleanliness of the stores and the
accuracy of the weights and meas
ures used.
The chemists of the department
have analysed 200 official samples of
food sent to the laboratory by the
inspectors. Practically every kind
of food-stuff used as human food has
been examined. In addition, 1880
samples of paints, oils, cattle feed, ag-
ricultural seeds, ETC., were examined
to determine their purity and as to
their compliance with the law.
Milk and cream samples to the
number of IA, 1856 have been tested by
the local milk inspectors working I'M
der the Dairy and Food commission
er. Human food-stuffs have been
found to be reasonably free from
harmful authorizations, no particular
class being found generally adulterat-
| ed. Many food-stuffs however, were
found to be below the state stand
ards of quality. In such cases cor
receive measures have been institut-
ed by the department.
Much Misrepresentation and false
labelling of the concentrated feeding
stuffs, feed to domestic animals has
been found. The department now has
eighteen cases pending in the fed
eral courts against foreign shippers
of cottonseed and meal alone.
The greatest number Of prosecu-
tions made by the department have
resulted from unsanitary conditions
and shortages in weight and measure
Commissioner Barney is now busy
in forming his plans for several i'm
portant campaigns during the next
year. A renewed effort will be put
forth to better the quality of Iowa
butter. Three creameries are now
using the Iowa State Trademark two
shipping in one pound prints to the
New York market. Eight additional
creameries are expected to qualify
for the use, of the mark early this

COUNTY REFUSES
TO PAY BILLS
Debts Incurred i'm The Villisca MUIR
ders Will Have to BE Paid by
Private Parties

ders Will Have to BE Paid by
Private Parties
| A. stormy and dramatic session was
held at Red Oak Monday afternoon
when Senator F. f. Jones of Villisca
appeared before the county board of
supervisors for the purpose of giving
to that body his views with reference
| to the continuance or the investiga-
ton of the Moore murder of Villisca
/ in June, 1912.
/ Jones repeatedly stated to the
board and to the crowd which jam
med the supervisors room that he
welcomed and wanted a thorough in
vestigation of the murder and that he
would gladly help to pay the expense
of the investigation, but that he want
ed some one other than Detective j.
N. Wilkerson employed on the case.
( He claimed that Wilkerson has
used unfair methods in his work OF
the last two and half years, that he
has directed all his energies in trying
to connect the Jones family with the
crime. and that he has not investigat-
ed other clues which have been found
He stated that he favored the employ
ment of two or three good detectives
if necessary in order to make thor
ough and sweeping investigation.
Jones denied statements of Wilker-
son that he, Jones, has ever employed
any means to hinder the investigation
and contradicted the statement of the
detective that the investigation OF
Mansfield before the grand jury last
summer resulted in a vote of four
for indictment and three against, de-
claring that he had been informed by
a member of the grand jury that the
vote which resulted In no indictment
/ was unanimous vote.
"Mr. Wilkerson has never been able
to put his hand on anything that
would connect the Joneses with this
murder" Jones said. "If he had he
would arrest me before l could get
out of town, but he hasn't anything
He declared that never were two bet
ter friends in the world than he an6
Joe Moore, and that Wilkerson could
not show business rivalry or any 9th
err difference between the two as 6
motive for the crime.
J. N. Wilkerson was present at tbs
meeting and arose Immediately at the
conclusion of Mr.. Jones' speech and
denied the charges which had beer
made against him. He said that hi
expected to continue the investigation
as long as the people of Montgomer!
county wanted him, regardless of who
might be involved, but if the people
who have guaranteed the payment o.
the $500 which the Burns agenc,
claims as due it from Montgomer!
county, want him to quit he will de
so, he said.
County Attorney Wenstrand stated
at the meeting that the investigation
would be continued, but he refused t.
state along what lines the work of thu
future will be done. Considerable
pressure was brought to bear on the
board in an effort to induce them t.
allow for payment the bill presented
by Wilkerson, but the board main
tains that it has no authority to dc
