But RfcpreseTrtaNve Casey Loss made his closure of questionable practices in the office of and made it well, in commenting on the the State Treasurer came t6 light. Mr Jurgemeyer's view was that his party was too- casual toward Its candidates, that It was pure coincidence of course. At the same time that State Republican Chairman gemeyer was laying It on the line to the Republican party in Iowa, and giving the a much worse lambasting than any Democrat could possibly have devised, a wide-open dis- rtteosufe, and telling why he was against It. ddn wont to vote for something that Will moke violators out of nearly said Loss.

He sold that he had been informed that Oft Kossuth's 277 miles of blacktop road speeds well frt excess Of SO and 60 were common practice. We agree with Casey; he was right. We Olso agrfee with him that a new Idw will not be enforced at 50 ahd 60 miles an hour. that IS by no "means to say that we don't Inlnk either Of the new speeds, make for safer ttnd saner driving; we Ore just being realistic about the matter. Se we'll pass the new speed limits on county roads and then we'll have a new law to try to enforce.

As someone said, "you cannot legislate judgment." THOSE FLATTERING CREDIT CARDS A while back we had a nice letter in the mail with an application" blank to join the Diners' Club. Then a few weeks ago another letter came in, this one from the American Express Company, who invited us to join their credit card organization. The circle became complete last week with a beautifully printed invitation from Conrad Hilton to join the "Carte Blanche" credit card setup. As We read these kindjnvitations, all you have to do is sign your name, pay the jnitia- or entrance fee, and you get your card. With this card you can go practically anywhere and buy nearly anything, all on credit.

There is one proviso, however, and this one is in the smaller print. You are expected to pay for what'you charge to the credit card-company within 30 days after you are billed and' no" fodlingl 1, We can see a'dvantages to these credit caids, but we can also see a Day of Reckoning. It.is to just flash a card and say "charge and you'll very likely spend more than otherwise under this system.

it had been using gimmick campaigns Instead of common sense approaches. He said It lacked purpose, programs and objectives. He added that the party had not been producing Its best candidates, etc, Almost at the same moment'an enterpris Ing newspaper, (not in Bes Moines, either), came up amazing fact that the State of Iowa through the State Treasurer's office had 70 lion dollars in some 640 banks in Iowa ING NO INTEREST. The State Treasurer is a Republican who Is now serving his fifth term in office. Of the 70 million total, about 40 million was on demand deposit with two banks in Des Moines.

The rest of the 70 million was in comparatively small allotments around the state. The State Treasurer's defense was that the state needs "ready cash" at all times, thus he had shied from earning interest on any of this 70 miHion, including short term government bonds, negotiable at the drop of a hat. Some state money, over and above the million, is drawing interest, it should be added in fairness. Does the State of Iowa need all of that 70 million placed in "demand deposit" accounts? The answer was NO. Within 24 hours of the newspaper disclosure of the non-interest bearing deposits, the State Treasurer announced that about 25 million w'as to be withdrawn from the non-interest bearing and invested in interest-bearing, short term maturity, government bonds.

"To get a better idea of just what has been going on, lefs take the 40 million deposited in the two Des Moines banks, At 3 percent interest, that money have been earning the State of iowa $1,200,000 per year. What a windfall to the two '40 million'f'deposite'd at no interest and they cotild easily obtain 3 percent, or ble to cash in a hurry if necessary. It "should be noted that in the' state legislature, dominated by Republicans in both branches, no time was wasted asking for an inquiry into manner in which state funds are being v- -ft 1 '-'V 3 1 -v 1 5 5 I 4l JvJ I :1 liJf-4sl if tfaili passing flear.

SO FAR, SO GOOD Indianola Tribune We are glad to see indications that feelings between the State Legislature and the Governor's office will be more cordial this session than they were two years ago. Governor Loveless started out on the right foot when he limited his requests to the.legislature'to Hems which can generally be considered, of a bi-partisian nature. Republican legislators accepted his speeches of last week in good form. As of now, it would appear that we progressive legislation, on such issues as reapportionment, long-range building programs for colleges and universities, highway safety, and in many other areas where hope of agreement was futile two years ago.

Of course, the big area of disagreement has not been touched yet. The Governor is as insistent as ever that there shall be no sales tax increase, and if the legislators attempt to. pass a bjll the fireworks will fly, But surely the Governor will have gained a great deal of respect for his fiscal planning, which was borne out so accurately the past two years. The fact that we will be ending his first two-year biennium with more money in the treasury than we started with, even though his opponents predicted bankruptcy and financial ruin, will certainly raise the stock of Loveless among the new and old legislators JOB WELL DONE One of the Little People."
