off their allegiance to the Federal Gov.

within those States had been forcibly

EDITOR GUARDIAN:-l fear that you
will think my correspondence rather ir-
reg uar and probably it will not be very
interesting to your readers. But | will,
nevertheless, try and give you sort of
general index to the business that has
been done by the General Assembly. The
first important measure was the passage of
AZ act by which the State assumes TO col
lect and pay the q. S. tax voted at the
Extra Session OF Congress. This passed
each House by large majority. There
is bill now before the Senate providing
for It's collection for the present year.
which will. no doubt, pass. But I fear
there will be quite contest over the law
10 provide for its collection hereafter.
The law of Congress exempts a home
stead worth $500, and an income of $500
| presume some will claim that these
same exemptions ought to apply, if the
State collects the tax, while others wish
the tax to be collected the same as or din
airy State and County taxes now are, and
have no more exemptions.
Another bill Of no small interest, pass
ed the House by large majority, and is
about clogged in the Senate. The bill
provides that in all cases where the var
ious County Treasures and the State
Treasurer, are now authorized to receive
or pay money, they shall receive and pay
as money the notes OF the Branches of
the State Bank Of Iowa, and the U. S.
demand Treasury notes. | do not know
what the citizens of Buc hanan County
may think of such law as that, but | did
what | could TO pr event its passage /
wish to say that did what could TO
strike out the words " The notes of the
Branches Of the State Bank of Iowa."
so as to authorize the taking of the
U. S. demand. notes only. | worked
against the bill because we could not
amend it as l wanted it, and | believed
that in the shape in which it passed il
would do more harm than good | will
never vote TO place this State at the mer-
cy of any moned corporations. | am
willing 10 vote for law to make any
kind OF paper receivable for taxes which
The faith of this Safe or the United States
is pledged to redeem.
u think the sheep growers of this State
need have no FAIRS bat that there will be
law passed by this General Assembly
imposing sufficient tax on dogs TO pre-
vent their doing so much damage AS they
have heretofore. This seems 10 be the
unanimous feeling of members.
/ think, also, that the game law will
be altered so as 10 allow the killing oi
prairie chickens up to the first of Febru-
airy.
We have not as yet had reported to us
from the Committees. any OF the impor-
tant bills of the session. The bill for
districting the State congressionally, and
one districting it senalorially and repre-
sentatively, and the revenue bills, are all
yet before the Committees, as are also
the appropriation bills. Thus you see
we have but little more than begun the
work Of legislation. But this session will,
no doubt, end as has all other regular
sessions, with general rush OF business.

Business of the .. & S. CIR. II.

Gar The following extract from the
report Of the Superintendent of the D. o.
S. G. R. R., will show gratifying and
profitable business. 1t is 10 be hoped
that the net earnings of the road will be
mainly applied to an increase Of its ia
cilities, with which much greater bust
ness will be done. Eventually, there can
be but little doubt that the stock of the
road will be valuable property. Mr.
You've says:
The gross earnings for the year from all sour
ces are $l99, 4lo.ll, while the expenses actually
paid are S99 .73l OF, to which should be added
about five thousand dollars for depreciation Of
rails during the year. This will leave net
gain OF S94,679 %. The lack of adeq ua;e mo.
tive power has caused Us to lose from ten to fif
teen thousand dollars worth of business
The train miles during the year were 1917
$50. This shows very fair earnings for the
miles run. nearly 81 IS per mile while the ex-
pcnses have been 90 cents per mile, which com
pared with the average Of other roads, is quite
satisfactory.
The yearly earnings ofthe road have been as
follows:

We, the company from Fayettc county,
arrived here on Wednesday, July 9th, at
noon. The camp is situated on fine level
grounds adjoining the town Of Clinton, and
about half mile from the river. es-
There is one full company, (Cap:. Dun
lap's,) and six parts Of companies now in
camp. Soon after squad arrives, the
boys are dressed out in their new
clothes, receive their guns and tents, and
commence the life of soldier. Many of
them arc better clothed than they ever
were before, and general time of rejoicing
is the consequence. We are abundantly
supplied with good healthy food, and as
discipline is not rigidly enforced, the boys
are having good time generally.
These are the sunny days of the soldiers
life. Every arrangement that can be made
for the comfort and convenience of the reg
iment now assembling here, is being per-
sected by our ever active Adjt. Gen. Baker,
and Quater Master Case, both of whom are
wholesouled men, true patriots, and
friends of the soldier.
The people of Clinton and the soldiers
seem to be on good terms-very few com

be no excuse for pilfering. have not seen
