HOLDING TWO SIAIE JOBS.

Editor Rowley. OF the KeossuQue
Republican. having pointed out that
an employee Of the state dairy and food
department Is also member Of the
legislature and thus draws douole pay
from the state is answered by Mr..
Barney. dairy commissioner. that this
employe was appointed to his Job with
the dairy and food commission after
an opinion had been secured from
the attorney general upon the points
raised by Mr.. Rowley.
That seems 10 let Mr.. Barney out
and pass the buck TO the attorney
general so far as the legality Of the
appointment is concerned. The ques-
ton Of intent OF the law remains. And
II is proper 70 add that the opinion
Of an attorney general is not law but
his Interpretation OF law. The last
guess rests with the supreme court.
However, as II stands. neither the
employe nor the commissioner is in
bad. They had the attorney general
opinion which is assumed 10 stand
until il is reversed by higher authority.
But Rowley is right in principle If
not in law and his point that employees
Of departments should not as legisla-
tors pass upon the emoluments Of their
employment as wage earners is in
order. And It might be properly sug-
gested to appointive powers OF de-
partments that no question of their
motives in making such appointments
would arise to embarrassment and ex-
PLANTATION were they 10 avoid such ap-

A NEW OPENING FOR THE MINISTRY.

A minister at Fort Dodge has set
the pace. He has established a gaso-
lcne filling station on some church
property and looks after it himself
most Of the time. 1t Is said that his
station is very successful financially
and altogether doing well.
The world do move, do it not? Con-
centration is the order Of the day. The
Fort Dodge idea and practice Is in line
with the onward movement Of the
times With it the ministry moves
forward. AS the donation party pass
ed and went its way 50 the new system
forecasts the desuetude Of the ladies'
aid, the church supper and the like.
When the minister can pay running
expenses with a pump and a tank Of
gas the necessity for the ladies' aid
and the committees win have disap-
peared.
In some ways It offers opportunity to
the minister. When he takes in the
cash, shows q balance At the end Of
each month after the janitor has been
paid, the coal bills settled and the re-
pairs attended to Grandpa Whiskers
will scarcely have the gall to assume
dictatorship on his contribution Of SO
a year. However, It is not altogether
impossible that the trustees will sug-
gest that he declare dividend from
profits or kick because he fills his own
tank free.
They used to preach and earn their
own living. Back then, preachers used
to farm and do days work and trade
horses and get along somehow with
the assistance Of donation parties that
busted furniture and ate up most all
they brought along. It is Of record that
one preacher over in Illinois preached
six months on a circuit and one con-
gregation aided him to the extent Of

two gallons Of sorghum molasseA How.
ever II IL only Just to recall that there
was some argument pro and con N be-
tween the value Of the sorghum and
that OF the sermons. But that Is an
other story entirely and has little to
do with modern methods and modern
ministers and gas filling stations.
Another opportunity the gas station
seems to offer the missionary spirit
lies in the fact that when q man has
run out OF gasolene that's one time in
his life that he needs ministerial at
tention and restraint. When he walks
six blocks to carry gallon to the ma
chine in a pail, when he shamefacedly
begs at the door OF farm house for
enough TO get him into town, when the
speeding populace pass him. even as
the grinning priest and levite Of the
biblical relation, while he stands be-
side his idle and useless car along the
roadside. then if ever he needs the
consolation of religion and the re-
straining influences OF his pastor. In
such instances lie opportunity to cheer.
TO comfort and command that hardly
ever come in the church lobby.
The innovation at Fort Dodge will
be eagerly watched by many who in
vest largely in gasolene and lightly in
the contribution box. 1t may let them
out entirely on the box and thus leave
more to expend at the filling station.

Last Saturday, when the good roads
meeting had been adjourned. a man
coming from the meeting remarked
THAT was supposed to be held to dis
cuss the question pro and con. but 1t
all seemed TO be pro-" His tone of
voice indicated that he was dissatis-
fed with the meeting. II the man
was opposed to good roads why did
he not get up and say so. and give his
reason for his views? The majority
OF those at the meeting were strongly
in favor Of paved roads. This man
had sat thru the meeting listening to
their opinions on the subject, and had
never ventured to state his side of the
case, or even ask question In case
he had not yet determined what side
Of the fence he was on. He will have
less right 10 kick in the outcome of
the election, no matter which way
it goes, than those men who got up
and stated their views. 1t always pays
to come out clean with your own opin-
ion. If 1t is an honest opinion you
have as much right to it as the other
men have to theirs, tho it may be
different.

1t looks as tho the republican nomi-
nation for governor depends mainly on
the selection Of delegates to the state
convention. And delegates are like

governorship are appearing every day,
and they are all men OF quality and
ability. OF course the Globe Is par

Of Abba and we shall be more than
pleased to see Nate in the chair at

cause to be proud of such a man as
Nate Kendall. He would add pres

reputation as an orator and his I'M

will place Iowa in the fore rank in a

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Traer Star-Clipper notes Mar
shall county voted on the question Of
paved roads Monday and as expected,
the election carried. The majority
was really more than expected. The
city Of Marshalltown gave 1920 votes
for and only 1873 against perhaps
showing a stronger sentiment in favor
OF road surfacing than any county yet
voting. Thus on three sides of us paw
ing will begin, while Tama county will
stay in the mud. 1t will be rather hu-
initiating In a year or two to realize
that we are the only reactionary coun-
ty in this section of the state" says
