PAYING FOR PAVINQ.
The Charles City Press says: "The
city property owner should no more
be compelled to pay all the expense
of street paving in front of his prop
erty than a farmer should be compelled
to pay for improving the roads passing
by his farm."
Which may be set down as an ab
stract expression of simple Justice.
However, absolute justice in the
division of cost is hard to accomplish.
The law, as the lawyers are prone to
assert is a straight edge which fills up
some Inequalities and cuts off others.
It strives to get as close to equality, in
theory, as the lay of the ground will
let it.
The point is that the progressive
But under the scheme of absolute
equality of cost the paving fails to
come. When the majority of the
property owners desire paving and are
ready to stand the expense because
they want it it is up to the minority
to come across. It is a penalty which
men pay for living on progressive
streets in progressive communities.
The new law helps some on outlying
streets by approximating the simple
Justice called for by the Press. But
those who want paving and want it
when they want it will have to go on
paying most of the cost of the Im
provement and those who do not want
it when in a minority as to numbers
and influence will have to conform to
the desire of the majority.
How would the Press arrange to
divide equally the cost of paving and
still get the street paved against the
general distaste toward a raise in the
tax millage.
CANNED HISTORY.
John Bunny is dead. Tet he is not
so dead as other actors are. The pub
lic has lost such men as Booth and
Mansfield, but it has not lost Bunny.
The public may still laugh at his clever
work, until the films wear out beyond
possibility of reproduction, and when
will that be? There will be Bunny
"revivals" as there were Sheridan re
vivals. The "movie" has made the
pantomime actor almost as permanent
an institution as the written words of
a play-wright.—Clinton Herald.
But preservation of John Bunny's
smile is an incident and at most not
a mighty incident in the things the
moving picture film shall immortalize
for the uses and behoof and com
panionship of the coming generations.
John's smile, like John himself Is as
grass and shall fade as the leaf. The
film has greater service.
If the picture machine and its ad
junct the phonograph had been in
operation the voice and action of
Cicero in his denunciation of Cataline
might be as familiar to us as that of
William Jennings Bryan whose ora
tory has rung in the ears of practically
every man, woman and child who at
tends political meetings or goes to
chautauquas. The barons would sign
the Magna Charta before our eyes.
We should see and hear Webster pro
claim this nation as forever indis
soulable and Lincoln at Gettysburg.
And more, much more that we have all
wished that we might have seen and
heard. When we realize all that such
reproductions would mean to us we
can understand what the moving pic
ture film may mean to the future
when it raises from the past the men
and the methods and the lives that
are living today when we have been
dust for ten generations.
The mummies of the Egyptian
dynasties are mainly curious. They
are merely relics, gruesome, unat
tractive, morbid remembrances that
men
lived and died and strove to defeat
decay. The moving picture is the men
alive, the life of a period In full swing.
It is a dead generation galvanized In
to the semblance of life that later gen
erations may know and see how It
lived and moved In Its dally round.
The moving picture film Is the silo
of the generations. It Is canned his-
WELCOMING NEWCOMERS.
When Mr. and Mrs. Jones and the little
Jones' moved Into Onetown along with
other Jones' and Thompsons and John
sons and Browns they were Invited to
attend a big hurrah to bs given In
their honor at the town hall of the
opera house of a theater or a coliseum
and orators told them how filled with

convinced that they were conquering
heroes and that Onetown was the only
town ever.
Mrs. Jones got ready to reoetVe calls
from prominent cttisens' wives the next
day and sat down to wait the door bell,
and sat until she got tired and never
heard anything at the front door until
the carrier threw the evening paper
against It. And went'on waiting.
Mr. Jones went down town chesty
and full of vinegar. Nobody seemed to
recognize him as a newcomer In whose
advent "the entire city Joins with pride
and satisfaction." In fact nobody saw
him except a couple of sharks who
wanted to sell him some lots six miles
out at $1,000 a lot. When he came
home he was tired. Qot his supper
and went to bed grouchy.
The little Jones boy came home with
a bloody nose and the little Jones girl
cried because the other girls had sniffed
at her clothes.
The contrast between the oratory and
the actualities was too great.
Another Jones family moved to
Marsballtown. Nobody met them at the
train and they had to pay the dray
man themselves for moving the stuff
from the car. But a few days after

he'd like the town. Had been over to

the men called each other by their first

they call Marshaltlown "back home."
The point of this little fable which
isn't at all a fable is that nobody is
fooled with a counterfeit of friendli
ness and that you must deliver the real
goods. Oratory Is one thing and home
cooking another. Friendliness isn't a
business but an emotion and happiness
is a state of mind. A cheery "hello"
across the street of a morning, a chatty
call on the woman of the house, a
real interest in folks because they are
folks like the rest of us brings home
the bacon where oratory doesn't make
a grease spot.

"Probably one should speak well of

spirit of the trust and corporation laws

It is the opinion of this paper that
Senator Root could not be elected

defeat."

MR. KERR'S KINDLY WORD.
Times Republican, Marshalltown,
Iowa: My Dear Sir—Your editorial in
a recent issue of the Times-Republican
on "Dreams Which Have Come True,'"
Impressed me to the extent that I am
writing you. The Times-Republican
should be congratulated because of the
facts contained in that editorial, for It
often happens that pioneers In any
cause have rough sledding, and when
victory does come the credit goes to
others, and many times to others who
did not reach the firing line until vic
tory was in sight. But the Times-Re
publican has not faltered because of
such a possibility, and it has labored on
content to do its duty as it saw fit, and
let reward, if any was due, fall where
it would, and accept as best it could a
condition well depicted by a little verse
that It was my privilege to learn many
years ago:
"Then to side with truth Is noble,
When we share her wretched crust.
Ere her cause bring fame and profit
And 'tis noble to be Just,
Then it's this the brave man chooses
And the coward stands asldte,
Waiting, in his abject spirit,
Till his Lord is crucified."
While It is wise and Just for the
Times-Republican to seek to have
credit go where It rightfully belongs it
Is not unmindful of the aid and com
fort It has received at the hands of
friends who have sustained it as the
years have come and gone, nor Is It
losing sight of the fact that in a battle
well fought and in victory fairly won,
there is "Glory enough for all." Sin
cerely yours, William G. Kerr, Grundy
Center, Iowa.

CUMMINS. HUGHES OR ROOT.
CJefferson Bee.]
When the matter of the next re
publican presidential nominee comes
up, Iowa republicans appear to think
somewhat in the above order. That
Senator Cummins will be more ser
iously considered this year than ever
before, goes without saying. He will
have, in addition to his own state, a
considerable amount of enthusiastic
strength in the west, notably In the
Dakotas and Colorado. The everlast
ing fetich that you "can't elect a
western man," which has been dinned
Into our ears for a generation past is
again being dragged into prominence
as discouraging the Cummins boom.
It is a hard thing to overcome, but in
reality there Is nothing to it The
republicans of this country can do any
thing they set their minds to in 1916,
and they will elect the party candi
date, be he from west or east pro
vided he passes muster as a good man
and one in whose honesty of purpose
the people have confidence.
A GOOD WORD FOR COSSON.
[Grundy Republican.]
We understand there is a feeling of
resentment in Eldora and seme parts
of Hardin county because Attorney
General Cosson forced tho resignation
of a supervisor, or two, over there, and
it was said that Mr. Cosson should
have cleaned out Des Moines before
tackling Eldora. As we recall things,
it was the agitation given the'super
visor matters and county engineer af
fairs right in Hardin county which
brought Mr. Cosson there snd not a
desire upon Mr. Cosson's part to butt
in. Be that as it may, we merely men
tion In passing, that Mr. Cosson has
cleaned out the Polk county board. Just
as he did the Hardin county board, and
also that over In Sioux City they have
learned there is a "Cosson law" on the
statute books of Iowa. Without hand
ing out any political plums in the mat
ter, whatever, yo"u have to give it to
Attorney General Cosson when it
comes to doing things in law enforce
ment, and writing laws which get re
sults. Some people, whosa friends
struck the Cosson reek in the middle
of a stream they had long thought was
smooth and placid, don't -Mke Cosson,
but he's the man with the goods in law
enforcement likes and dislikes, friend
ship and enmity, to the contrary not
withstanding.
BUSINESS'OPPORTUNITY
[Osage News.]
Every young fellow who loafs
around Osage gives as an excuse for
his idleness that "There's nothing for
a fellow to do here." Probably If Osage
offered a thousand opportunities where
it now offers one the same excuse
would be given by tbe bojftor man who
doesn't know an opportunity when he
sees it. Osage does have opportunit
ies, many of them. Somebody is con
tinually taking advantage of them, too.
As an instance, for a long time there
has been a good opening here for a
Bukharest.—Again this country is on
the brink of war. Indications are that
she will join the allies at any day. It
is certain that the moment Italy joins
the war Roumaina v.ill follow. It is
pie own nearly 1,000 automobiles, and
that means that hundreds of tires must
be vulcanized every year. One young
man saw the opportunity, erected a
little building, equipped it with the
necessary tools, and he's now working
day and night to keep up with his op
portunity. What that man is doing,
any other boy with a real ambition to
make a living for himself can do. Don't
wait for someone to come and point
the opportunity out to you, Hunt it
up yourself. If you haven't the initia
tive to find your own opportunity, you
wouldn't make good If it was discov
ered for you.
WHERE THE LEAKS ARE.
[Des Moines Tribune.3
Little by little the debate over ex
travagant taxation and extravagant
public management Is getting around
to home base.
Here is the Marengo Sentinel say
ing something out in meeting that
ought to be said in every county:
"The state levy has been cut Just
a. shade pf a mill. But the county
dads have spent more Iowa county
money, needlessly, in the letting of
bridge and culvert work than will be
dftved by the reduction of this mill on
the state levy. The Sentinel Is begin
ning to feel that the high and ever in
creasing taxes result from the spend
ing of money at home and not the
extravagant spending of money by the
legislature. Letting bridge work at
other than the lowest bidder, paying
damages to a man who is injured In a
scuffle with another man, paying re
pair bills on useless machinery, and
other Items in line with these are a
few of the ways In 'which the money Is
spent."
Just at this time attention is fixed
on Polk county, where for the second
time a house cleanirg is in progress
in the county board.
But Polk county is not the only one
where a moderate application of the
Cosson law would bring resignations.
It is claimed by those who ought to
know that in 75 per cent of the coun
ties one or more members of the
county board are subject to removal,
in many instances for taking serious
liberties with the people's money.
And this is not altogether the fault
of the individual board member. It
Is the inevitable consequence of trying
to do a big business in a way that was
planned for a little business.
The county board as we have it was
all well enough In the old days when
there was little to do, and everybody
felt It his duty to help do this little as
a matter of public enterprise.
But today when every county is a
big business, when the county ex
penditures run into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars, the old volun
teer board is as out of date as a ten
year old automobile.
Even In a presidential year Iowa
ought not to allow all the attention to
be drawn away from the need of
changes in our governmental ma
chinery here at home. The next legis
lature should be elected to do some
thing to simplify the machinery of
local administration. V:
V* ANALYZING THE BURDEN.
[Jefferson Bee.]
The "April draw" is in relative pro
portion to the amounts paid in, divid
ed according to the millage In each of
the various townships. For. Instance
the total levy for all state purposes Is
4.9 mills. The county levy Is 14.1 mills.
The total township levies very some
what altbo not far from an average of
33 mills. With reference to the coun
ty levy item it is hardly fair to call It
14.1 tor tbe reason that this item has
in it the 1 mill county road, and the 2
mill county road tuildlng, which event
ually, goes back to each township in
culverts and road work. Of the county
levy also the bridge levy of 4 mills
likewise apportions back to local ben
efit in proportion to the needs of the lo
cality, the river and creek townships,
of course, getting a larger proportion
than townships where no streams of
consequence appear. On the whole,
however, the people of each township
get the use of such bridges when pass
ing that way. To various extents the
townships benfeflt also In the levies for
county school (1 mill), insane (.7), poor
(1.2) and soldiers' relief (.2), the total
of all these funds being 10.1 mills. This
sum deducted from the county levy
leaves only 4 mills which goes exclus
ively for county purposes.
Thus, to be more voncrete we would

agreed that she wants a sHce of Aus
trian territory. Roumanla's soldiers
are regarded as among the best in Eu
rope. The last time Roumania was at
war was in 1S78, when she helped Rus
say that the general'county levy of 4
mills and the "State levy of 4.9 mills is
what each township pays for which It
does not see "direct benefits." Thus, in
Greenbrier township, where the levy is
33 mills, of the $9,546.28 paid in by tbe
farmers of that township during the
first three months of the year, only
about $2,600 went to the county and
state, while the balance $6,946 la pro
portionately, what is paid for the use
and benefit of the township itself. In
other words the township pays $2,600
of the sum for the privilege ot being
an integral part of the best county in
the best state in the union. What pro
portion of this $2,600 eventually goes
to the direct use of tbe cltisens of
Greenbrier is hard to figure out
For instance, the county 4 mills go
for official salaries, district court ex
penses, bounties on wild animals. Jail
expense, assessor's salaries. Justice
fees, court Jurors, and the like. As an
Integral part of the county Greenbrier
township contributes its share toward
these necessary county expenses, which
after all, are made possible by an as
sociation of townships forming a coun
ty. Each township, therefore, receives
its relative value in return as its por
tion of maintaining the county organ
ization, and the same may be said, in
a more indireot way, of the state levy.
For Instance, it costs the state a cer
tain amount to maintain the offices
and books and clerks of the auto li
cense fund. This fund is apportioned
back to counties according to tbe
number of townships in each county.
This comes back as a benefit "to each
township, as the fund is to be-spent
upon county highways running thru
each township. The levies for state
schools and colleges has a relative
benefit to each township, or, at least
to suoh of the population as go away
to these schools.
A good many people say they receive
no benefit from the state schools, but
when we come to dissecting that ques
tion, as applied to taxation, state
schools are probably worth the very
small amount relatively that they cost
each country taxpayer, as are the town
ship and district schools. We would
save much tax money by abolishing all
schools, the expense of which Is al
ways more than half a man's tax, and
yet who would favor abolishing all
schools on the theory that we did not
absolutely need- them! The stae fund
goes to maintain the state and supreme
cour-ts, state offices, and other com
monwealth expense that to a more or
less degree, benefits each township.
So the map who thinks he Is
'"mulcted" for taxes from which he de
rives no benefits, will find that his ideas
are true to only a very infinitesimal
degree. The only Item we could sug
gest as coming anywhere near this
claim is that of "capltol extension,"
which costs each owner of 160 acres of
land a total of $3. And It would txt,
hard to find any citisen in the county
who Is not "victimized" to this amount
every -month in the year In some line
of expense, or personal extravagance,
that he, himself, could avoid by his
own act and option. ..
