THAT FEDERAL HOTEL LEASE.
TCedar Rapids Republican,

fCedar Rapids Republican,
At Lakewood. New Jersey. there is
a hotel property which has been much
in print. The government had use for
ii and rsnted it from the owners. pay
ing rental Of fifty thousand a year.
The valuation that had been placed
upon the property was $4,000 and it il.
still held at that valuation by the
owners, and they are now resisting an
attempted increase for purposes OF tax
alton. For taxes it is worth only $50
900, but for rental to the government
was worth ovO 5000 for capitalized
at six per cent that is what the gov
eminent held it to be worth when 1t
paid $30.0e0 a year. But might It not
be well to inquire who made that con-
tract for the government? Was he a
fool or was he a tool of the owners
who were seeking to profiteer?
How much brains did it take TO pay
So0, 600. where a private person might
have rented the property for a paltry
five thousand? Did the government
have fools making contracts for 1t, or
did it have corrupt men? In the case
OF that hotel which is now figuring in
tax fights. it must have been a man Of
either one kind or the other who made
the contracts And is not that hotel
only sample case. We have the cour-
age to conscript flesh and blood and
pay for it at the rate of $50 a month
and Subsistence. but when it came to
conscripting property the government
was often held UP at the rate Of ten to
one. and that Lakewood. New Jersey
hotel will serve merely as an illustra
ton Of this truism. And that is why
we had to buy SO many Liberty bonds
and War Savings stamps.

and cseAp in To- cost OF upkeep. We
hope that due safeguards win be taken
IL large sums are to be expended, that
the money will be wisely utilized and

That Is a very fair statement Of what
may be believed to be the sentiment OF
progressive Iowans whether residents
of country or city. We are all for
better roads; but we want the state OF
Iowa TO get n dollars worth of good
roads for every dollar that it puts into
the good roads program Good roads -
no graft-that's what We should have
and the time to start on such a pro-
gram Is right now, in double 10.

SENATE COMMITTEE
CALLS ON PRESIDENT

At 2:3O P. M. last Friday the spe-
cial Senate Committee, consisting of
Senators Fall and Hitchcock, was adj
Lifted to President Wilson's room in
the White House and had a forty
five minute discussion with the Presi-
dent on the critical Mexican situation,
the only interruption to the confe-
renee occurring when Admiral Gray
son, the Presidents private physician,
entered the room and announced that
Consular Agent Jenkins had been re-
leased from Imprisonment by the
Mexican authorities.
During the conference the Presi-
dent was in bed, propped by pillows,
and Mrs. Wilson was in the room.
While the conference was arranged
particularly for the purpose of get
ting the Presidents views as to what
action should be taken by the Senate
regarding the Mexican situation, the
interest Of the Senate and in fact of
the whole country centered on the
conference principally because of the
fact that it furnished the first oppor-
tunity which has been afforded Con-
gress and the public to judge as to
the accuracy of the many rumors
which have recently been current re-
garding the Presidents alleged physi-
cal and mental inability to perform
the duties of his office.
Since both of the Senators an
nounced, after the conference, that
the Presidents mind is clear and that
he is apparently fully able to handle
the Mexican problem, the situation
which has been causing so much anXi-
ETY. and perplexity during the last
nine weeks or more Of the Presidents
illness, has been greatly clarified.
No doubt it will still be some time
before the President is strong
enough to shoulder all of the bur-
dcns of his office, but it will be a

AMERICANLEGION
Of WAR VETERANS
OPENS SESSIONS

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May s.-The Ameri-
can Legion, composed Of men In the
military or naval service of the gov
eminent during the war, opened a
three-day session here today with more
than a thousand delegates, representing
practically every state in the country,
present. Lieut.. Col Theodore RoOse-
welt, Of New York, presided. Though
little was accomplished at today's ses-
sions save the formal opening of the
convention and examination Of creden-
tlals Of the delegates, there were indi-
cations the caucus will not be an en-
tirely peaceful one.
The sessions Of the various tempo
rary committees during the past two
days have brought to light many diff
ferences Of opinion. An effort is being
made on the part Of the national
guardsmen to exclude regular army
men from the legion, although the tenn
porary executive committee a voted
to open the membership to all men
and women who saw service In the
war.
In addition to the regular army
national guard affair, many delegates
today reiterated previous complaints
that the legion would be IAN officers,
club" and that politics was being played
In its organization. Another question
which was brought up today was that
of admitting negroes to membership. A
group OF southern delegates neadeo by
~Alabamians, is lobbying against the
admission OF negroes, proposing they
should be allowed TO form an auxiliary
organization.
The report of the committee on creed,
which has been adopted by the tenn
porary executive committee and placed
before the convention, states that the
American Legion has the following
definite purposes:
|. To inculcate the duty and obliga-
ton OF citizenship.
2. To preserve the history and Incl
dents of our participation in this war.
3. To cement the ties of ~comradeship
formed in service.
4. To protect, assist and promote the
general welfare Of all soldiers, sailors
and marines.
5. To encourage the maintenance OF
individual and national efficiency to
the end that the American people shall
never fail In their obligation to hu-
manity.
s. TO maintain the sacred doctrine
Of undivided and incorporating 10y
