Roads Plank Proposed in Interest Of Progress
To-Day's Prize Letter

10 the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
Sir: The Federal government is
far behind the average state govern
ment in its ability to act promptly
and efficiently.
am firmly convinced that much Of
the trouble is due to the fact that we
have far outgrown the system under
which Congress and the Executive
operate.
In the first place, 1t is absolutely
astounding to realize that we Ameri-
Cans wait for thirteen months before
allowing new Congress to begin
action. or at least four months-,nore
often five at the earliest-if the Ex-
ecutive intervenes and calls a special
session.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-20

No other democracy in the word
has such Il ridiculous and unbusiness-
like system. There Ia no reason in
the world why the new Congress. and
the new President as we'll, should not
enter Office as do the Governors of
states, early in January, preferably
the first week.
Again, in the matter Of legislation.
Senate and House both hold hearings
separately, the one waiting upon the
other. Here in Connecticut Senate

LEASE LAND FOR OIL.
Loca! Men Secure 1900 Acres Near
Muscatine

Muscatine.
Muscatinc, Aug. 11.-Oil derricks
may dot Sweetland township and
possibly other sections Of the county
within a short time Gushers may
be discovered which will make this
county a mecca for investors and
promoters for oil wells. Altho this
may sound unreasonable aud vision
ary to men who have resided in this
posed of Muscatine men believe that
oil is to be found in this locality.
Furthermore they are willing to
back their belief to the extent Of
leasing the south half of Sweetland
township for the purpose of pros
pecting for oil. Those who are in
terested in the project are Roy Too
man, Pagan Brothers and Lee broth
ers, all local men. Leases have al
ready been secured on approximately
1900 acres of land in this section of
the county.
The statements have been made
by Roy Tooman, prominent FARMER,
truck grower and real estate dealer
of the city.
No statement as to when actual
operations would begin on the leased
land could be secured from members
of the concern today, all intimating
that the matter of drilling would be
settled Immediately after the leases
have been completed.
