No State Aid This Year.

President Nelson K, Roberts OF the
Jefferson County Court has notified the
State Road Commission that this county
will not ask for federal or State aid for its
roads this year and valves its right TO
participate in the funds TO be devoted 10
this object. We believe that our court is
acting wisely in deciding not 10 60 into
this project until it has been thoroughly
discussed. The requirements OF Stale
and federal engineers in the building CT
roads are often so strict that the cost OF
complying with them is unreasonable,
and at this time extravaganza is most I'M
desirable. But the road question is one
that must be given full consideration, and
we hope that our court will make a
comprehensive study OF it and evolve
plans by which our roads will be perma-
nently improved. Under The changed
conditions OF traffic and travel our old
methods will no longer avail nor will the
old tax rates be sufficient.

How Iowa Helps CrippIes.

To our mind one OF the most
rraise-worthy laws ever enacted by
the state of Iowa. was that passed
two years ago affOrding treatment at
the expense Of the state of all chill
dren under 10 years of age who SUI
fer from some deformity or malady
that surgical skill can correct, and
whose parents are not able to pay for
the treatment. This service is sup
piled in the state university, owned
by the state, and the expense is COM
raratively light. 1t is interesting to
know that in eighteen months nearly
800 children have been treated and
scores of lives have been saved or
radical physical deformities correct
ed. TIE blind have ueen made to see,
the cripple to walk. Traer has had
the benefit of the service. The MaahS
boy would have been blind today.
The children are not only treated but
are educated, a school being provid-
ed. A bill is pending in the legis la
ture to provide a special building 1or
these unfortunate poor. it should
pass, but in any event the service
must be kept up. What are few
cents in extra taxes to each citizen
when hundreds of lives are being
saved or bodily deformities corrected
and the sufferers made healthy and
happy citizens who could hope for no
relief in these days of expensive
surgery ?-Traer Clipper.
