TWO IMPORTANT
BILLS FILED
N ebjker's Good Roads Measure Would
Use Auto Tax Fund to

DIES MONIES. Iowa, jan 2S.-Ihe
two most important bills to be intro

more f,snt than any others before the
tbirty-eighth general assembly, made
their appearance today. One was
roads bill, the other one on housing.
A paved highway system throughout
the state is proposed in bill by KEEP
resentative Nebiker, Of Des Mo1nes
county. The bill proposes $4,000
900 bond issue, running for twenty
wears and bearing three and one half

four per cent is provided
Nebiker's bill calls for seventeen

Nebiker's bill would use the auto.
mobile tax funds to pay interest and
retire bonds. Should that fund be in.
sufficient, Nebiker's bill would IN

other funds If the increase was In

Daily Stock Letter.

Daily Stock Letter.
limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
The outstanding feature OF today's
stock market was unquestionably the
strength displayed by railroad shares
in which gains of one to two points
were the rule. ST. Paul preferred did
dashing performance by pushing
forward six points to 49,. in one
moment advancing two points be-
tween sales, and again losing as much
in a single transaction. The move
ment as a whole received its Inn
pulse from the technical position In
the rail list brought about by the
recent widespread selling.
While most Of the industrials were
likewise strong, though in lesser de-
gree, United States Steel was slug
gish and heavy.

A Unitarian Program.

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Mas
sachusetts the Unitarfans have
stepped to the front Of the scenes
by program OF fighting strength In
peace. They have announced that
I'VE cannot live in these days on the
NOUS maxims of souvenir religion.
"yerbal religion" has ceased to De
effective, they say, and men can no
longer be qufeted here on earth by
assuring them of happy time after
death-men are looking for the sal
walton on this earth. The Unitarians
back east vow that they are minded
to found their future on that sort OF
a doctrine. Lazarus, we are allowed
to believe, is no longer satisfied with
what he may find in Abraham's
bosom, after death. nor IS he COM
forted by the thought that the rich
man will burn in hell after he is dead
the poor man wants some of the
good things before he passes on and
he is not interested in the thought
that the rich man is going to be
punished after the game Of life is all
over.

What Future Have These Children?
Next came q telegram from st.
