DIRECT PRIMARY FAILURE.

No matter who urges or who opposes the re
neal of the statewide primary law, the sooner
repeal is effected the better. 1t members o.
the Iowa general assembly favor return eo
the convention system of naming candldates
their attitude is creditable and shows GEAR
understanding of the evils of the present sys-
tenn.
One of the arguments employed IN taVor o.
the scheme of direct nominations is tnat tilis
plan makes it possible for men having niue
money, but possessing high qualifications TOT
disinterested service, to seek pubic ONCE, pus
experience has shown that one OF the stfonSess
objections to this method of selecting cano'-
dates is that it leads to large expenditures.
Men who might secure nomination on thei,
merits. at the hands of a convention, are oarreo
unless they have means enough to stand the ex-
pense of two elections. The poor man IN pom
tics is worse off than he was before; the rich
man has distinct advantage in the TACT tnat
he is rich. :1
Nor has anything been gained for eltner
political party in respect to the quality Oh eau
didates named under the primary system. Men
have short memories who hold contrary
view The direct primary is a failure away
with it!

Cedar Rapids Gazette: On the
theory that those who know from lit
tie to nothing OF the questions involv-
ed are most competent to formulate
wise plans for the management of the
interests under consideration, the gen
eral assemblies of Iowa have deprived
the cities of any sufficient measure OF
home rule. They are still allowed TO
elect officials to carry out policies
fixed by others. but 1t would be more
ito the point If the general assem-
IbMes would APPOINT the officials to
carry out the policies fixed by citi-
zens who pay the bills and who
know what they want.
There are no two cities OF Iowa
having needs in common. Probably
the res emblance of problems existing
in Cedar Rapids and Waterloo is
greater than in any other two cities.
Now Cedar Rapids would not allow
a Waterloo council to say how our
funds should be divided. and there
would be a Joyous cutlery at Waterloo
il its people were told we would do
their legislating for the next biennial
period. But either of these cities
really does know in general way
the needs OF the other. Both, in COM
mon with all other cities of the state.
submit to control by majority that
knows nothing whatever of municipal
problems In any part of the state.
It is we'll enough that the general
assembly should fixe limit for taxa
ton in the cities and. by the way, the
cities should take more interest in
fixing for the general assembly e.
limit of taxation for the state OF
which they are an assessable portion.
Does Keokuk need Improvements
similar to those needed at Ottumwa?

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The city
management plan is being discussed
in some of the Iowa cities just now.
1t is difficult for people to become
friendly to that plan as long as they
are welded to the belief that city
government is politics. That Is ex-
actly what city government should not
be. The affairs Of city should be
managed in businesslike manner
Just like big private business. Once
that fact Is conceded, all the objection
to the city management plan or to
any other improvement in the city
government is sure to vanish instanter.
Those of the cities and towns OK the
Hawkeye state that have adopted the
city manager plan. speak Of 1t In nigh
est terms, and seem inclined to stick
to 1t, until something better can be
|devised-if there is anything better.

r1,EcrR1cAL PROPULSION RETARDED.

There is an imposing amount OF work Wnlch
ought to be done in this country, and which IS
DELAYED by the high costs now prevailing. In
one field It is known there has been failure for
ten years to keep pace with the country's de.
velopment and that is in the improvement OF
railway facilities. Now that the advantages OF
electrical propulsion are fully demonstrated
there is opened an enormous opportunity Tor
construction work in that field. It is greatly
desired. for the good of the general industrl al
situation, that the particular uncertainties
which attach to railway investments by rea-
son of the public attitude toward them and
their relations with organized labor, should be
cleared up, so that the great work of develop
ment of electrical propulsion may go on. 1t
means security to all the industries and full en-
ployment for the wageearners in the transition
period following the war, besides improved
transportation service and great economies.
Here is an opportunity for the display Of a
craftsmanship having in view practical benefits
to the country.
