Mayor Aiki Buthua Man to Ch p in ani

COLONEL BAKER SETS OUT HIS VIEWS
ReTlews Controversy with Coaaell
men Over Disposition of City's
Contribution to the Coontf
Hoad Fond.
At the meeting last night of the rosds
and streets committee of the Commercial
club Mayor Macrae made a plea for the
co-operation of the committee and every
member of the Commercial club In the
effort to keep the streets of the city clean.
He spoke of the small amount of money
available for street work and suggested
that the business men subscribe a small
sum each month to create a fund for the
employment of five or six men to keep
the streets clean In the business center
of the city. These men, he explained, need
only be employed for six months In the
year and the expense to the Individual
business man would not be more than 50
cents or tl a month. He told also of the
orders Issued the police to notify mer
chants to remove all obstructions from the
sidewalks and hinted that a more strin
gent ordinance' than the present one gov
erning these matters would be Introduced
In the city council In the near future.
Chairman Baker of the Board of County
Supervisors, who Is also chairman of the
roads and streets committee of the Com
mercial club, gave his version of the law
governing the expenditure of the county
road fund, especially that portion raised
by taxation within the city limits, and
explained why It was that there had In
variably been more or less friction be
tween him and the city council over the
disposition of this portion of the read
fund. According to Colonel Baker, this
friction had resulted from what he termed
the extravagant demands made by the city
aldermen. Chairman Baker told of what
he expected to do this summer In the mat
ter of Improving the main thoroughfares
Into the city and suggested that a portion
of the city's share of the road fund be
expended upon the road to Lake Manawa.
Telling of the demands of the city coun
cil last year. Colonel Baker said that $1,000
of the road fund had been turned over to
the city in cash for it to expend ns It saw
fit, and, more than that, he himself had
expended more than $300 over and above
the city's proportion of the county road
fund on work on roads and streets actually
within the city limits. He concluded h'
remarks by expressing the hope that hla
relatione with the new administration
would be nothing but harmonious.
James McRoberts spoke In favor of mak
ing Fourth avenue a boulevard, but the
suggestion did not spparently meet with
favor at the hands of the committee.

pointed by the mayor.

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. April 10. (Special.) With
the departure of Governor A. 11. Cummins
from the ttate to be cone until near tho
time for the meeting of the rcpublicun state
convention of Iowa, ull political contro
versy has ceaed In this part of the state.
All' of the" district congressional convcti
tlons have been called or held c.ir. i
The only conflict Is In the northwestern
corner of the state, where a sharp contest
is being waged Itetsvcm seven uspirnnts
to the Humiliation. Nobody here lias been
able to do unythlm; other than to give
some sheer gucHxc as to the outcome.
There are no Issues Involved only person
alities and pua-ibly some flight advaattiga
one way or another on account of factional
alignment. Every nicmlicr of the Iowa
delegation will be renominated except the
Eleventh district member, and he may be
renominated niter a struggle. While the
dtparture of Governor (.'tumulus nuu'ks the
ckse of all political discussion as to what
the state convention will ilj In the mat
ter of factional action, it Is not because
of his going; for, as a matter of fact, Gov
ernor Cummins lias not In ken any part
In state politics since the beginning of the
legislative s sslon. lie has been too 111
for most of the year to do anything fur
ther thnn to attend to the merest routine
of his ottlcial duties. He incepted what
appeared to be nn almost unanimous de
cision coming up from the ranks of the
peoplo that there should be selected fur
Chicago a delegation of which he una to
be one, with the two Heiintors, Allison und
Dolllver, and J. W. litythu of liurllngtoii
as the others. As for himself the most lie,
did was to declare at a time when there at
least seemed to be some doubt us to what
Iowa would d'i, that he desired only thut
if lie should go to the national convention
It would be to vote to muke It unanimous
for Koosevclt and bee to It that the prin
ciples embodied In the party platforms in
this unite for several yvurs would be fairly
presented to tlio national convention as a
busls for a national platform. He regarded
the party pint form us of prime Importance.
