PUBLIC LAND.
Sale by Commissioner I'm Marshall
County.

County.
Land Commissioner Eastman has dis
posed of 2,7S5 acres OF state lands In
Marshall county. at an average price OF
kl450 per acre. The highest price pail
for any of the lard was S24 per acre.
and the lowest was sold at the mini
mum, $40 per acre. The largest amount
disposed of WIS common school, which
brought a better price than did the en-
dowment lands sold. The average
for the school lands was $15,S5 per acre.
while that for the endowment lands
was s11.35 per acre. One OF the factors
which gives this sale prominence Is
that up to this year the average price OF
lands in that county was so low that no
offerings of state lands were made, for
the reason THAT II was certain that none
would bid the minimum of 81 per acre.
while at this sale they were taken at
an average OF almost so per cent above
the minimum, and one tract went at
nearly $50 per cent above the minimum.

MAY SHU0UI TIE VETS
Bills to Be introduced in Legis.
lature to Prevent Home Vet.
Grams From Voting.
Measure Would Permit Particle
patton in State and National
Elections,
Object Is to Prevent Inmates
From Controlling County
Elections.

The sentiment against permitting the
members of the Soldiers Home, and
other state institutions from partici-
pating in party primaries and in county
elections has reached climax, and bills
are soon to be introduced in both
the house and senate of the state legis-
lature to prevent such participation.
The Soldiers Home is about the only
institution in the state that will be af-
fected If the measure passes.
The result of the recent primary
election in this city. in which at least
one of the nominations was decided
by the swinging of the veterans in line
for a certain candidate, has brought
about this action, and it is not improb-
able that the bill will pass. 1t is not
the purpose of the measure to prevent
the old soldiers at the Home from par
ticipating In state and national con-
tests. but to prevent them from voting
in local elections in which they have no
material interest. This would not af-
ing the institution from this county. In
referring to the proposed measure the
Des Moines News says:
IA rather interesting measure and at
the same time an important one on ac-
count of it's bearing on local elections,
will be introduced in a few days In both
houses of the general assembly. This
is bill prescribing the legal residence
of inmates of state institutions under
the board of control. For several years
it has been the custom to permit voters
to cast their ballots at all elections
in the township where is located the
state institution Of which they are in
mates.
"At the last election in Marshall
county the 500 votes at the soldiers
home settled the entire result of the
county. 1t has been a habit for can
dfdates to endeavor to organize this
vote and usually this vote has been cast
solidily for the party or candidate max
ing the best showing. Citizens of Mar
shall county are up in arms against
these state wards who have no interest
in local affairs dominating spring cleo
lions and the bill which they will ask
to have passed is one which will permit
wards of the state supported in such
institutions to vote for national and
state tickets. but not municipal or
county tickets. Most states have de-
cided that the legal residence of in
mates of a home of this character is the
county or city in which they resided
at the time they were granted privilege
