discovery that the election held In this
city Jan. 10 FOR the purpose OF voting

ster City Gas company's plant and

failed TO carry the bond issue. The Of
ncial figures the day following the
election indicated tho proposition car
ried nearly ten to one. Women were
allowed to vote. however, and the mems
votes lacked ave OF the necessary ma
jority. The bonding COMPANY holds
that the proposition could carry only IN
case q majority Of the electors" voted
for it--And women arc not "electors."
Tho city viii make q recount OF the
votes at once and in the event Of a fall
ure to 'pick up the necessary hve
votes 4 new election win be called.
The supreme court has ruled on the
law - applied to bond issues voted at
elections and II holds that tho word
~sisotor' eau mean a male voter only.
Another section. however. givss women
the right to vote on bond Issues Tor
municipal or school purposes" The
two sections ars contradictory. Under
one women have the right 70 cast their
ballots, but under the other only ma
tos1ty Of ne "slsctors~ can carry the
proposition. The casa ruled on in the
lows supreme court 10 directly in point
on the webster City situation. In this
case Q city was voting to Issue electric
light bonds. A majority Of the NAL
votes vas not sufficient to carry the
election. but the affirmative Of both the
men ana women voting was sufficient
to carry the election. as IN the Web
stsF City case. The court in this case
declared that the votes cast by the
women would not be considered.
The dnding Of this taw will delay for
another SIX wseles at least the taking
over Of the focal gas company a. a
municipal enterprise.

- resulting from the failure of the con-

The Paul N. Kingsley Company had
the contract for the construction Of the
bridges In Story county during that
year and, before the work was COM
pIeted. failed. Material concerns and
others brought actions against them
and brought the bonding companies
into the case.

Judge Wright sustained the demurrer
and the bonding company was released
The case was carried to the supreme
court, and that court has reversed the
decision Of Judge Wright and the case
will come back here for trial, with the
bonding company as a party to the

SPORTS. OR GOATS?

Are we American people sports
or are we just plan goats?
European countries owe the
United States ten billions Of dol
lars, loaned to them during the
war against Germany
This money will soon be due,
and it is intimated that the allies
either can not OF will not pay
they intimate the former, but we
suspect the latter.
Our friends across the wat or,
1t seems, do not want to pay us
until after they have collected the
money from Germany. And
when they do get the money from
Germany it is even possible tha,
they will suddenly some more
urgent and pressing need for it.
Makes a fellow feel fine, doesn't
it? Quite sporty, or goaty, which
'ver term pleases you.
Europe tells the United States
it is short Of sugar-it must have
sugar
We, too, are short-very short
but we send it to them, hun
dl eds Of millions Of pounds.
Of course that shoves up the
price Of what little we are able
to buy ourselves. But that
doesn't matter to us sports, or
goats. We just revel in cougn-
ing up lively for the benefit Of
our dear friends across the water.
Why should we ask Europe to
pay US the paltry ten billions of
dollars they owe us9 Would
that be sporty, or goaty?
Why should we tell them they
can have our sugar, because we
haven enough ourselves for on,
canning, and our tables? Would
a sport, or d goat, be so ungen*
rous?
Why not give them everything .
they want, and thank them fos
taking it? Wouldn't that b.
quite sporty, or tremendously
goaty?.
Why not be genuine sports, O,
wholehearted goats, while we art
about it?
For isn't it quite jolly to be Z
spa~t or supremely comforting
