State Treasurer Harriott is MAKING
some excellent speeches in Iowa this
fall, and his presentation of the tax
question alone is enough to make
even populist vote the Republican
ticket. His statement, which is clear
and comprehensive, is as follows:
many of you will remember the ex-
travagant predictions about the in
creasing Indebtedness of the state
made by our Democratic friends last
year. One prominent Democratic
paper prophesied that the state would
have TO levy of 8 s mills in 1899 in or
der to get the state out debt, more
than double the levy of that date. A
substantial quietus to that prophecy
was given in the payment of the en-
tire indebtedness last April. But the
executive council this last summer
did not appear TO think such an in
creased levy necessary. Last year
the levy was 3.3 mills. This wear II
was made mills. And mark you the
assessable valuation of property in
Iowa is s2l 900 900 less this year than
last. Nevertheless the council could
reduce the levy. But this is not all.
This levy is upon a one-fourth valua-
ton of taxable property-not upon a
full cash valuation. Consequently
the people of Iowa next year will paw
taxes for the state government at the
rate of of a mill on their property.
Estimating the population of Iowa al
2 ZOO, 900 the per capita cost to the
people of Iowa of their state govern.
ment last measured upon the basis OF
the state levy was 70 cents and next
year 1t will be even less. Surely no
one can maintain that the people OF
Iowa are oppressively taxed for the
support OF their state government.

STANDS VERY HIGH.
Estimation of the Public Argues
Well for it.
Coed Reports are Coming in From all
Sections OF the Country.

There is not medicine sold in
Iowa today that stands as high in the
estimation of our home people as
Morrow's Kid-ne oids. Not only in
this state are Morrow's Kid odds
achieving great success, but good re-
ports come from all sections of the
country, and these reports come be-
cause the people have been cured of
kidney and urinary disorders just the
same as hundreds in Iowa have been
cured.
Mr.. James Koba, 610 S. Birch st =,
Creston, Iowa, says: ~ have been
troubled with my kidneys for ten
years. Sometimes the pain in the
small of my back was so severe that
I could hardly do my work. l was
also troubled with swelling of the
feet and ankles and urinary troubles
that were very annoying and painful.
| took Morrow's Kid-ne- ODDS accord
ing to directions and 1 was greatly
relieved of all my troubles. l con-
tinued to take them, and the pain in
my back stopped, urinary troubles
corrected and the swelling gone from
my feet. l will cheerfully recon-
mend Kid-ne-oids."
Morrow's Kid-ne-oidS are not pills,
but Yellow Tablets and sell at so
cents a box at all drug stores and at
Blakeslee & Heinzman's drug store.

WHEN THE REGIMENT MARCHES

They marched from our midst, our
Joy and our pride,
In the strength and the yalor Of
youth;
They enlisted to fight for the banner
they loved,
TO battle for right and for truth.
We were proud of our boys and babe
them God-speed,
As they sailed DER the billowy foam,
But some hearts will ache, some
hearts will break
When the regiment marches home.
Some sank by the wayside, o'ercome
by the heat,
Some lay in the hospitals long;
Others fell in the trench, meath the
fhot and the shell
Where the battle ragged fiercest and
strong.
We rejoice when we read of the VIC
tories they won,
They would conquer wherever
they'd come;
But some hearts will ache, some
hearts viii break
When the regiment marches home.
We thanked God when we heard they
We're sailing for home,
Our hearts q glad anthem will sing;
We win welcome The boys when they
land on our shore,
And loudly the Joy bells win ring.
Bot with hearts full OF gladness and
thanksgiving great,
We still vii remember that some
SD heaxfe are aching. sad hearts

SHAW AT BEACON.

One of the very best political meet
ings ever held in Beacon was the
school house meeting Monday night
addressed by Governor Shaw. The
arrangements for the occasion had
been perfected by committeeman Jno.
Owens, and much of it's success is
due to his efforts. VIM. Beardsley
was chairman for the evening and
he introduced the Governor in a
happy way. Music was furnished by
the Republican Quartette, consisting
OF DR.. and Mrs. @. II. Hare, Miss
Stella Garrettson and Mr.. Homer
Coffin.
After the Governor had talked
fully two hours, followed closely by
every person in the house, he rested
minute and asked the Welsh peo-
pie present to sing for him the Welsh
National Air, which pleased him so
much at the E1steddfod here last
Christmas. Father Jones sang the
verses and the audience Joined in the
chorus. 1t was an inspiring and
happy incident. The Governor then
closed his speech and the meeting
broke up singing America.
There were many present who did
not agree with the Governor politi-
cally, but they all agreed that he
treated the questions at issue fairly
and Ia a way they could not object
TO. A few questions on the money
question were asked by Morgan Nor
gan, and they were answered cheer
fully by the Governor. Mr.. Morgan
said he did not agree with the Gov
ernor but he thought he was a fine
old man just the same.
There is no rant or wild exagera-
ton in the Governors speech. He
sticks to facts as he sees and believes
them, and tries to convince rather
than abuse those who hold opposite
views. His talk at Beacon was clear
and comprehensive and will no
doubt result in much good for the
