Jeneste is Free,

Carroll Bros. attorneys for Charles
Jeneste, have received word that the
sentence of one year in the peniten-
tiary, imposed upon their client last
Thursday by Judge Bollinger. on the
charge of forgery. was suspended by
Gov. Cummins, and Jeneste let go free
upon parole. Jeneste's crime was the
forging of a check upon the Sunshine
Outfitters and the cashinS of a worth
less money order at the postoffice.
When Jeneste'S father heard of his
sons offense he came here from Cedar
Rapids and made the sums good. The
youth had heretofore borne good rep
utation, and drink was the occasion of
his committing the crime. Bail was
secured for the young man and since
that time he has been conducting him
self in an upright and industrious man.
ner. His conduct led the judge to ex-
ercise clemency in the imposition of
sentence. as also writing to the gov
ernor asking that he be allowed pa
role or suspension of sentence.

SEES RACE SUICIDE IN
THE LANDLORD SYSTEM

school tax will be uniform throughout
the country regardless of the districts.
This, of course, might result in the
consolidation of the schools in the
township. but that is another story. The
great evil just now in my mind is the
monopoly of the land, and whenever
the land in school district gets into
the hands of a nonresident owners the
process of depOpulation begins and ru-
raj life is destroyed"
According to this mans statement it
is not in the city that the propaganda
of race suicide is being most ruthlessly
pushed. but in the country where it
would naturally appear to be most care
fully cherished. If the state of Illi-
nois will change the revenue laws so
as to distribute the school tax impair
TALLY over the whole country and pre-
vent the local control of it by large land
owners there will at once be a more
equitable distribution of population and
the tax burden. A uniform school tax
would seem, he says, to be the logical
remedy.

The city is not the only place where

had much to do with the mater of taxa

be as much of bugaboo in many coun-

he is barred out of flats and and tene-

cies of tax dodgers began his remarks
by declaring that there ought to be a
law TO prevent the monopoly of land
and that no man ought To be allowed
to own more than $50 acres of land or

Nowadays there are large tracts of
land being bought up by bankers and

land gets in possession of the big land
lords the poor men are driven TO the
small towns.

Of land do not want men with families
as tenants or farm employees, because
where there are children there must be
schools and that makes school taxes
for the landlords to pay. | know of
one school district where all of the land
