MUTUAL ADVANTAGES.
TSioux CITY yournal.1


There Is an advantage to cities FROM
good roads leading into them which is
material In results but intangible In
determination. Thousands of dollars
in trade are lost to city merchants
every year. especially at the holiday
season. because the roads leading into
the cities are In such condition that
people from the rural districts can not
reach the trade centers without hard
ships. They resort 10 mail order pur-
chases because the order may be sent
from the gate by the rural carrier and
the purchase delivered in the same
manner. Until merchants waken UP
TO the Significance Of this condition.
mail order houses will flourish like the
green bay tree. 1t is a well known fact
that every mail order concern In tn.
country is bitterly hostile to hard sur
faced roads. The reason Is apparent
They have analysed the situation and
understand what such roeds mean to
their prosperity. This loss OF trade to
home merchants because OF bad roads
Is well known but intangible.
When q method is devised by which
an equitable division of the cost OF
good roads may he made between city
and rural communities which are NUT
ually benefited. the hostility OF the
rural communities to thu expense OF
hard roads construction will disappear
and the two interested elements will
he found working hand In hand for a
common good. This Is the task OF the
law makers who would provide the
state with system Of roads that will
serve this and coming generations at
the least wastage Of the public funds.

p..se uturs AND DISCHARGED MEN.

AS the men in UNIFORM return "
civilian life and from necessity or
choice must 90 about town in uniform
the social problem of when to salute
and not to salute is putting young men
to a test as to their basic. fundamental
manhood which even the dangers OF
war could not compare. Army caste
distinctions which are necessary Tor
purposes of military efficiency will not
travel with the man into civil life. rule
or no rule, service overseas or S. A. L.
c. Priyates will refuse to salute super
ior ranks when the uniform is entitled
to the privatos respect and petty Off
GERS will foolishly demand for them
selves the technical rights OF their
army rank when they should have
sense and manhood enough to know
that the war Is over and we are all
lust men again born free and equal
before the law.
1t seems to be a matter Of two per-
sons making asinine mistakes. A nom
commissioned staff officer with three
service stripes was asked what do you
do when you meet one of those home
grown officers" why salute him
respectfully, Of course" he replied. HE
wears the insignia Of the service and
that is entitled to it. Why he con-
tinued, " I never saluted a. man in all
my army service. The salute is for the
| rank in the service. 1t is entitled to 1t
and a real soldier will not refuse 1t to
any who have legal right to it. When
I salute I salute my country and the
army and all that the army means
not the wearer" And that is the fine
and soldierly view Of it.
But whenever and wherever the jaw
bone" officer advantages himself OF
his uniform to humiliate an enlisted
man on the street the officer makes a
vertitable ass of himself when he does
it. II the soldier failed to salute the
officer had better have looked another
way. And the soldier himself who re-
fused the salute lacked much Of the
true spirit ard understanding Of the
soldier that comes with actual service
in wartime.
Now there are thousands Of mer
coming home who have seen service
and who are finished soldiers. Also there
are many machine made officers com
ing home. They will meet on the street
discharged men on an equality excep
as the uniforms they are permitted tx
wear ninety days indicate their forme,
rank. No doubt among the men wht
have seen real service there will b.

BANKERS AND PROMOTERS.

Editor Times Republican, am JUST
in receipt of the following anonymous
letter, postmarked from Marshalltown.
Iowa, and would appreciate the priv
ilege Of answering thru your columns:
"E B. Wilson. First Trust & Savings
Bank, Des Moines. Iowa. Dear Sir
In an article appearing in the Des
Moines Capital OF Dec 20, headed
Bankers Propose to Clip the Wings OF
Wild-catters' states that q committee OF
which you are the chairman is prepar-
ing a blue sky law which will pre-
vent the sale of wildcat stocks.
When bankers stop writing letters
of endorsement for promoters Of ques-
tionable corporations and thereby de-
prive the sharks Of the assistance to
beguile the money from the pockets
of the confiding public there will be no
need Of 'blue-sky' laws.
What is that old saying about
cleaning house" and the older one
about coming into court with clean
hands?
"At the convention of the Iowa Bank
ers association held in Dubuque last
June, a resolution was unanimously
passed, severely COuueIhHihS opVt
alton Of BLUE Sky promoters In this
state. The express intention OF the
association by those resolutions was IT,
discountenance the writing Of letters
Of endorsement by few bankers, even
tho such letters may or may not say
anything. You are quite correct IN
suggesting that this practice should be
discontinued. and you are assured that
the Iowa Bankers Association is most
emphatically working along this line.
Please be assured that the associa-
ton as represented by It's officers and
its legislative committee. will make
every effort during the coming SEES
sion Of the legislature. to secure the
enactment of laws which will not only
restrict the amount Of promotion fees
to reasonable limit, but which will
also discourage the organisation of COR
porations by Blue Sky operators for
the purpose OF merely obtaining a fat
promotion fee" E. B. Wilson. Chair
man OF the Legislative Committee.
