ROAD

BOND ISSUE is BIG PROBLEM
Best Means to Pull Counties out Of
Land Of Mud--Make All improve

The biggest single Issue before the
people today Is good roads; biggest
not alone of itself. but biggest be-
cause the prompt and satisfactory so.
tuition of permanent road system in
every state will help to solve a half
dozen fundamental problems and in
directly affect for good, as we'll as in
dollars and cents, almost every phase
of farm, social and industrial life in
the state. We cannot expect to have
real system of roads unless 1t Is
based on large units and this is best
accomplished by accepting the county
and state basis with few experienced
and responsible men in charge in each
case. We must have roads that begin
and end somewhere.
Many counties are presenting to the
taxpayers the question Of bond issue
for the Improvement of their high
ways. The bond issue for public
improvement should be governed by
the same considerations which govern
bond issue by any business organiZa-
ton. When a manufacturing concern
issues bonds, the money raised is
placed in permanent Improvements in
the plant which will last far beyond
the life of the bonds, or else no in
weston would purchase the securities.
Bonds for municipal purposes or for
public Improvements are not always
subjected to this acid test, and in
stances are numerous in this country
where bonds for twenty years have
been issued for the construction Of
public roads. where the type of roads
built with the proceeds of the bond
issue could not possibly last more than
ten years, and even then expensive
maintenance is continually necessary.
In some instances history shows that
during the life of such bond issue
the original road has been worn out
and rebuilt with a different material,
and with the proceeds of subsequent
bond issues as many as three times,
and still the original bonds are liza.
bility on the community.
Bond issues for better roads are the
best means to pull counties out of the
Land of Mud. But it must be certain
that the road Improvements will last
the life of the bonds. This can be as
sured by securing expert and unpreju.
diced engineering advice on the best
kind of roads for the soil. The bank
er can perform yeoman service in this
connection.
In the state Of Iowa the man who be-

The dead civilization of the ancient
world possessed some secrets which
modern man has been slow in acquir-
ing. One of the most remarkable of
these extinct civilizations was that of
the Ninoan people in ,CRte, a people
who possessed a knoWly eSe Of SAM
tation that was lost orEsI1rly 40 cen
turtles and who dressed lived, in
numerous respects, on d fame equal
to that of today
ners," H. G. f. SpurrelL the English
historian and anthropologist, tells Of
this ancAnt people:
When Abe early civilization of Crete
was growing it was in communication
with Egypt, where The great civiliza-
ton to which the pyramids belong
was flourishing. In Crete the physical
externaIs of civilization, long since ex-
tinguished, were far more like ours
today than those of the civilization
which Immediately followed it.
The people built elaborate houses,
ORIGINATING them with a view to using
the sunny aspect. The dwellings were
sometimes four stories high. The stair
cases, decorations, bathrooms and ap-
paratus for flushing and traps for
examining drains testify to j sn0Wl-
edge of sanitary science that was soon
after lost and only fully recovered by
another civilization nearly 40 cen
turtles later.
The Hellenic and Roman civiliza-
tons, which in due course grew up
after the AIiHoans had persisted, never
fully equaled them in these respects.
Only within the last century has sani-
tation been able to compare with that
known nearly 1000 years ago.
The ancient capital of Crete had no
wall of fertilization In this respect,
too, Knosses was modern In spirit
Trusting throughout a long period Of
its history to the immunity of isola-
ton and later to an actual supremacy
at sea, the Minoan capital, like Lon
don and Washington, preferred to run
the risk of capture rather than to
cramp its life within walls. And, like
London and Washington, it was fired
by enemies and rebuilt with greater
splendor and with NO serious inter
ruption to it's prosperity, until at last
it's own vitality was spent ana there
could be no recovery from an attack
in which the enemy within the gates
combined vita the old foe from the
north to wreck the Minoan state.
In dress the Gfetans, their women
at any rate, We're strikingly like mod
ern Europeans of no far past date.
Their long, manyrflounced skirts, their
high-colored, embroidered, puff-sleeyIsd
bodices, laced-in waists, gloves and
broad brimmed, fancifully trimmed
hats, We're all nearly modern. The flow
ing robes of the Greeks, when the
Hellenic Civilization grew up after the
Minoan hal fallen, appear to us anti
que in contrast

HALF TON Of RED
PROPAGANDA AND
TWO MEN SEIZED
U. S. Agents Find Complete
Plan for Revolution in Ef-

Russian language WAS found among
his effects. Chief among these, they
said. was the proclamation OF the
