The idea of asking every man to go to Des Moine3" for his num ber is called preposterous. "We might as well ask all Iowa to go to Des Moines for its mail." The Mar shalltown paper suggests no substi tute. The fact that we have to go to Des Moine3 may be due to the oth er fact that that city happens to be the capital of the state. If numbers are to be given out they ought to be by the state, so that track may be kept of them. County numbers would be meaningless for it would be a jumble of ninety-nine different kinds of them.—Cedar Rapids Re publican. Nohing of the kind has ever been proposed. The number plates could be bought by the state and issued in consecutive numbers by the state, but consigned in bulk, 2,000 to each county auditor, well in advance of the date when needed. The auditor could issue the license in triplicate, sending the third copy to Des Moines for record and hand the number plates out over the counter instanter. The money would stay at home where it originated and no man need go farther than the court house for his number plates. The state could record the licenses at its lei sure. When anybody knew of a car running without a license he could phone the county auditor. The Republican, however, has dis covered something while groping around in the dark when it suggests: But the law might be better chang ed in other directions. For instance, the distribution of moneys. We can not think of it otherwise than under the present system it is largely frit tered away. Instead of going into the general road taxes—to reduce usual .taxes. The automobile tax ougnt to be especially invested in roads. The automobile tax ought to be a tax in extraordinary and the funds raised by it ought to be put ito special construction work. Sup pose we devoted that million and a half a year to building certain num bers of miles of good roads. We could build 125 miles a year with it and in two years we could have a highway across the state. In Michigan they use the auto money as a bonus from the state to encourage the counties to issue bonds and build hard surfaced roads. In Ohio, where more roads are graveled and paved now than twice the county road system of Iowa, they use the auto money exclusively for repairs to hard surfaced roads. In our state we could devote all of the auto mon ey to hard surfaced construction and if it were done we could increase the auto license by petition among auto owners themselves.—Marshalltown Times-Republican. Earls Iowa Governors. October 6th is the one hundred and thirty-fifth anniversary of the birth of John Chambers, who was the second governor of the territory of Iowa. He was born in 1780 at Burnt Mills, New Jersey, and when he was fourteen years of age he moved with his father's family to Kentucky. Here he in time became prominent in legal and political circles, and was chosen to represent the state of his adoption in the lower house of congress. In 1841 he received the appointment as governor of the territory of Iowa to succeed the venerable Robert Lucas. It was a position for which he was well fitted by ability and experience. "The story of John Chambers," says John C. Parrlsh in a biography pub lished by the State Historical Society of Iowa, "reaches from the coast state of New Jersey during the revo lutionary war out through the state of iventucky in the time of its early settlement and growth to the pioneer territory of Iowa in the days When it was making awkward but positive strides toward statehood. To the state of Kentucky he gave more than forty years of his active life to the territory of Iowa less than five. Yet these scant fire years constitute the most useful period of his public er vice." After his removal from the office of governor in 1845 he return ed to Kentucky, where he died in 1852.
