program for entertainment of the Co
Operative club, the noon luncheon to-
day of the organization was converted
into an experience meeting" at which
a number of important civic questions
We're presented and argued. 1t was
decided that the civic committee of the

the proposition to pave Third street,
thereby relieving Sixth street traffic.
Another bone of contention was dug
up in the practice of sprinkling the
city's street, particularly Kansas ave-
nue..
Jackson street representatives hold
ing membership in the club expressed
a desire that the water commonly used
on the main business street would GER
tainly find welcome on jackson,
even if it has been making things
muddy and slippery on the principal
thorofare. F. A. Anton contributed
some ideas garnered from the cleaning
system he observed in use in Germany
when last he visited that country
Sprinkling also found its fate in the
hands of a special committee.

Gov. CAppER's INAUGURAL.

1t is an extensive program that Gov
ernor Capper marked out Tor TINS
legislature in his inaugural address,
Most of his recommendations are en-
bodied in the first one, more eff
cient state government" In TINS par
ticular the governor is in position TO
do much himself without the aid OF
the lawmakers.
..Elimination of useless boards and
commissions" is somewhat indefinite
unless the useless ones be pointed out
His declaration that government IS
not for the purpose of furnishing jobs
probably will cause surprise in the
minds of many politicians who have
seen it conducted on the opposite the
ory from time immemorial. But II
will meet the approval of the general
public.
In his appeal for better common
schools he voiced one of the greatest
needs of the state. The people get far
less than they pay for in the matter Of
public education.
In his reference to free school
textbooks" he might have appropri =
ateIy added the words "of better quail
ity."
What is true of the school system is
true of the public highways to much
greater extent. In no branch of the
states business. perhaps. has there
been SO great waste of money, with
so little to show for the expenditure,
as in the making of roads.
The remainder of his suggestions
are matters of public policy rather
than of business and can well wait
until more important affairs shall be
attended to.
