IotDa Plans To Copy
Babcock Roads System

Iowa, within five years, will take
its place in the front rank OF states
with improved road milage by adopt
ing highway developement plan
similar to that in operation In Min
nesota, according to Truman Pierson,
"a national highway official. Mr..
Pierson has been campaigning In
Iowa the last two months as a
member Of the committee of 200
business men backing the movement
In that state.
iowa is now rated among the
lowest from standpoint of good
roads," Mr.. Pierson said. "The Iowa
Good Roads association is at work
to give Iowa highway program. the
duplicate Of Minnesota's. The state
furnishes Minnesota more tourists
than any other and is travelled by
the bulk Of travel south from Mime -
sofa.
81 believe Iowa should have a one
man highway commission with an
official as efficient as Charles NJ
Babcock," continued Mr.. Pierson.
II believe that Iowa should abolish
her present unfair plan OF assessing
roads. substituting therefor q plan
of general taxation or realizing on
automobile tax for all road improve
ment work. I believe that all funds
should go to one central disbursing
point under the control Of the one
man highway department.
When Iowa succeeds with its
good roads program 1t will mean at
least five north and south roads.

CAUSE OF PETITION
CUT PRICE AND NOW rs IN
LEGAL TROUBLE
Statement Made BY Harvester
Company Head; Govern
ment Action

The Harvester company's attitude
in regard to the petition just filed
against 1t by the government in the
United States district court at st.
Paul, Mimi, is set forth in a state
ment by Alexander Legge, president
Of the company, which has been re-
ceived by G. nj. Hunt, branch man
ager Of the International Harvester
company of America in Mankato.
Mr.. Legge's statement says:
This petition Is continuation
Of the suit brought against us eleven J.
years ago. Upon hearing of that
use, held more than nine years ago,
the Harvester company was acQuit
ted, both by the findings Of the court
and by the attorney generals ad-
mission of any wrongful dealings or
unfair practices toward customers
or competitors, but, to insure the
fullest competition, a decree was en-
tered in 1913 requiring the company
60 sell to competitors certain COM
plete lines Of harvesting machinery.
and to limit its sales representation
10 a single dealer in any one town. /
E"That decree further provided
that at the end of a test period
which has now expired the govern
ment might ask the court to deter q
mine whether or not the free com
petition contemplated by the Sher-is
man law exists in the farm imple=uI
ment industry. This step the gov
ernment has now taken.
"As we understand 1t, the sole is

pany with unduly raising the priced'

was charged in 1912, but It does
charge that the company has been
unduly depressing the price Of har-
vesting machinery, particularly since
1920, to the injury Of its competi-
tors.
without attempting to argue our
case at this time, It seems fair to i
say that the unfortunate condition I

due to the serious business depres- !
sion that affected the entire country
beginning in the fall of 1920
During the last few years the
whole farm implement industry has
been In an abnormal and distressing
situation which directly reflects the
situation of the farmer. High costs
Of labor, material and transportation
have burdened it with high manu-
featuring costs, while on the other
hand low prices for agricultural pro-
ducts have left the farmer unable to
buy his normal and needed require
ments OF farming machinery.
I'VE are confident that the hear
ing on the present petition viii clear
ly show that the Harvester company
Is not In any way responsible for
these conditions In the farm fmple-
ment industry. Prices Of harvesting
machinery are the resuIt Of vigorous
competition. exactly the kind of com
petition which the Sherman law was
enacted TO preserve, and are fairly
comparable with the prices of other
implements which the government
comedies were fixed by normal com

J. C. CLARKE APPOINTED
SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE

J. C. Clarke is attaining such a rep
utation as an ethonologist that Prof.
J. Walker Fewkes, chief of the bu-
reau of American ethnololgy, has rec
commended his appointment as q rep
resentative of that bureau for this To-
cality. Just recently Clarke called the
attention of the chief to some ancient
ruins east of Flagstaff along the new
Flagstaff Winslow highway which
were in danger of being destroyed by
road work. DR.. Fewkes was very
much interested in his report and has
taken the matter up with government
authorities, suggesting that the presi-
dent create national monument to
include them. DR.. Fewkes says: Il
have already written a pamphlet re-
garding the preservation of these
ruins and would like to aid the citi-
zens of Flagstaff in this matter. Now
we know roads are being built 1 am
sure that the great travel in automo-
biles would make this monument
within 90 miles of Flagstaff a great
asset to the place.
