HARDING FLops TO BETTER ROADS.

The best evidence we have that
public sentiment is changing on the
road question is that Governor Hard
ing now advocates county bond issues
for surfaced roads. The day of political
bunk as TO fake hundred million.
dollar bond issues for paved roads that
won the plaudits Of the Taxpayers
league Is past. Governor Harding tells
the Iowa legislature that it is time the
people Of a given district or political
unit may anticipate their road funds
which means county road bonds as
recommended to Governor Clarke two
years age hy the Peter Rca4e Gem
mission appointed by him.
The change in this executive mes
sage is the most notable advance to-
ward accomplishment for good roads
that has taken place since the state
highway commission won its yindica-
ton for it means that there will be no
political force to the opposition by the
mud roads crowd in the legislature.
Vertically the break with the notorious
Jim Pierce and the Homestead has
brought good to the land.
Governor Hardings good roads plat
form now is sound. 1t would get us out
of the mud if adopted. 1t is the exact
opposite of his campaign utterances of

Let the merchant marine stand on

California, who is generally looked up
on as being one Of the most level

cessful ship owners in the United
States, has given 1t As his opinion that
government ownership or operation OF
ships would be a fatal mistake. He
says that the government should sell
