Mr.. Florence loved to be called out to

collected from any individual was aoout
$500. A north Tama retired farmer nho

contributed 800 to 5000 when called 10
a reckoning The controversy over the
amount the ferrets are to receive Ioi
their work is still unsettled. The SUI
pervisors have paid them 10 per CENT
the limit permitted by the present law.
They claim SO per cent, as called Tor
by the contract. The agreement was
made before the law passed, but the
work was not done until afterwards.
Whether the law covered their case
may have to be settled in the courts, as
the ferrets claim they will sue for the
35 per CENT if 1t is not paid.
There are two kinds of taxes, real
estate and personal The county mas
it easy to collect the former, because
all property in the way of real estate
is offered for sale on which the taxes
have not been paid at the close or the
year, and many there are who Willingly
bid it in and pay the taxes due. But IT
is not so easy to collect taxes on per-
sonal property owned by people who
have no real estate On January of
this year about $4,000 was due Tama
county in unsolicited personal taxes. A
r. Wilson was employed to collect such
dues. Each year the supervisors en-

5 per cent penalty out of the delin-

will get hundreds more, possibly two
thirds of the amount delinquent. Some
of the debtors can not be reached, as
they have moved from the county. 9th
ers have nothing to pay with. Others
never pay anything unless compelled to-.
The law provides that personal proper
ty may be attached to secure delin-
quent taxes, but such action has not
been resorted to in Tama county in
years. We understand it may be tried
this year. Two farmers in north Tama
owe the county $500 In taxes on cattle.
This represents the taxes of several
years past If they do not pay they are
liable to find their stock attached.

THE TREE BUTCHER.
IGate City.l

1 T.
The man who claims to be an expert
tree trimmer and who contracts to trim
ltrees and take away the brush, all II
! first class style for so much per tree, Is
now going the rounds of the city. Anen'
his appearance the st. Joseph News
has timely article in which 1t states
facts that ought to be generally known
The average tree trimmer cuts and
slashes right and left, secures a good
supply of cordwood. and leaves bare
unsightly tree trunks to mar the beauty
of the streets and prove delusion and
a snare so far as any future shade is
concerned. The News suggests that
he ought to be arrested and confined In
the workhouse with daily stunts at the
rock pile until the leaves are out. II
pronounces him rightly enough men
ace to the tree race and an enemy te
comfort and beauty alike.
The News calls attention to the fact
that nature maintains in every tree al
most perfect proportion between roots
and top. There are roots enough to col
lect the sap needed and limbs enough
to provide sufficient wood, buds and
leaves to use the sap collected. In view
of this it Is moved to say:
"a tree may indeed be trimmed: 8
tenth of the limbs may be cut away
without appreciable injury to the tree
But when every limb is hacked thru q
few feet from the main trunk, leaving
practically no buds from which new
limbs may grow, the death of the tree
is inevitable. The immense amount OF
80 ~ h1r tho rNotc co,ooc ,lY, fyfr
the trunk, finding no outlet in the new
wood and leaves, it congests into the
trunk. and there the hot sun rays heat
it to the temperature fatal to tree life
Examine every tree mutilated by the
tree butcher last year or the year be-
fore, or the year before that, you will
find every one of them dead and decay
ing on the south and west sides. The
suns rays working on the overabund-
ant sap was the immediate cause OF
that death and decay, but the tree
butcher was the primary cause and he
should be punished for his work. A
tree in this condition may indeed live
at poor dying rate for few years
but its living death is an offense to the
eye, while its capacity for usefulness is
utterly taken away"
If trees within the city have become
too large for safety, If they constitute
a menace to buildings and pedestrians
the st. Joseph paper suggests that they
be dug out and new ones planted In
their places. But it protests against
allowing the tree butcher to mutilate
them, leaving the unsightly stumps tc
cheat us with false hopes of future Wig
or But better yet trim the trees a
little each year, being careful not to
trim them too much, and thus save the
trees. and preserve the beauty of the
neighborhood.

ON AUTOGRAPHS.

We have received a request from a
young man cut in Sloan, Ia, for our
autograph. We have sent it to him.
If he can make out head or tail of 1t
he's welcome to it. AS banker told
us not long ago, we will soon be able
to hold down the position of cashier In
a bank, for our signature is getting
more illegible every day. That auto
graph collector will have to decipher 1t
and tag it with printed card. In re-
gard to our writing and especially our
signature, we are fully as great an
editor Horace Greedy, but we can lever
expect, to equal George or Tom Long.
Georges sig. looks like the photograph
of a streak of lightning and all that
identifies that of Tom is the p. NJ. that
a republican administration has kindly
tackled on 1t. If democrat should hap
pen to be elected president, in 1904
Tom would have to get .ubbec stamp.
But what do you suppose that fellow
wants with out autograph anyhow? 1t
cannot be that he will forge 1T and
swindle us out of all our fortune Heav-
en- forbid! 1t will not do him any good
ito put it on the end of note. nor Will
it do him any good to uses II writing
touching letters to our friends. May
BE he just has hobby for collecting
autographs and will merely file il away
in q book, so we won't worry any more
