TROUBLES OF THE IOWA FAR.
MER.

It is not stretching the truth very
much to say that the Iowa farmer is
really annoyed by offers from Illinois
and other tillers of the soil to buy his
land. This places him in a curious
position and slightly dazes him for
the time being. If he accepts the Of
fer he obtains a price much in adj
vance of that which he paid for his
property, but where will he find land
so productive? Where will the same
conditions prevail as in Iowa should
he leave the old homestead where per-
haps his father and his fathers father
lived? If he rejects it it looks like
passing up a good thing. These and
kindred questions fit through his
mind and the answer is not easy. The
rural resident of Iowa has become ac-
quainted with the conditions which
prevail and knows that, barring unfor-
of providence, his land is as
reliable an income producer as gov,
eminent bonds. He can find cheaper
lands but that usually means a new
country with the attending hardships,
such as poor schools for the younger
generation, few railroads, markets far
away and often d~isagreable climatic
conditions. Then too, where else IS
the dependable soil that exists in the
Hawkeye state taken as a whole?
Considering all phases of the ques-
ton the Iowa farmer finds himself in
a peculiar situation. He knows that
raising crops on land valued at from
$40 to $125 per acre for agricultural
purposes in ordinary times approach.

Auditor Rittmann Checks Up War
Claims for Shaw's Action.

Was' on, March IF. E. RIFT
mann, auditor of the treasury depart
ment Tor the war department, is now
engaged in checking up the accounts
In MS office, comparing them with the
hgures which appear on the books in
the state auditors Office at Des Moines
as given to Special Agent Sizer during
his recent visit to Iowa. During the
civil war, many states promptly re-
sponded to the call to arms and fur
nished men and munitions of war, and
Iowa was notably to the front in this
particular. The money necessary to
arm II equip the regiments from
Iowa was entirely secured by the issu-
ance of interest-bearing bonds. The
state steadfastly paid the interest on
these state bonds, amounting in the
aggregate to S455 ,915 and it now seeks
TO recover the principal and interest.
Auditor Rittmann says that the gov
eminent had uniformly held that it
could not pay the interest charged in
these cases. The state Of New York,
which, with patriotic fervor, went into
open market and raised money to car
ry out the obligations placed upon it,
sought to recover the amount eXpend-
ed, but was overruled by the govern
ment and %thereupon took an appeal to
the supreme court of the United
States, which rendered a decision fav-
orable to the state. The supreme
court held that where the STATE had
borrowed the money and paid interest
thereon, the United States should pay
the principal as well as the interest.
IoWa's Bond Burden.
In the cas- of Iowa, when the gener-
al government called upon the state to
supply its quota Of men and munitions
of war, bonds were issued to carry out
the demand. The state now seeks re-
endorsement. The accounts Of the
state have been examined and are pow
being compared with those on record
in the Office of Auditor Rittmann.
1T will be several weeks before we
can be prepared to submit the Iowa
case to the secretary of the treasury
for transmission to congress-" said
Auditor Rittman. Il have a corps of
clerks TO- at work checking up the
accounts, but it will be some time be-
fore the task is completed and in
shape to transmit to the secretary of
the treasury.
Secretary Shaw, speaking of the
claims that Iowa has on the general
government for the premium it was
compelled to pay on its bonds issued
for the purpose of carrying on the war,
said that he had recalled the case from
the court of claims. where it had been
pending, in view of the paragraph
which appears in the urgency deficien-
lcy bill in refunding to Maine, Pennsyl-
vania, New Hampshire and Rhode Is
land the expenses incurred in raising
volunteers. He said that just as soon
as the auditor for the wal department
would certify the amount due to Iowa
to him he would ask congress to make
an appropriation for the state.
