aA1nes, Dec. 23.--Mr. Will H. ogilvie
Of Kelso, Scotland, has recently been
elected to the position OF bulletin edi-
tor at the Iowa state college. Mr.. Og-
LIVE will write popular and condensed
issues OF many Of the station bulletins
and furnish press notices concerning
station publications and college and ex-
pertinent station work.
Arrangements have also been made
by which Mr.. Ogilvie will at the begin
ming Of the next college year give in
struotions to advanced agricultural
students In the elements and essentials
in agricultural journalism. This Is be-
lieved to be the first chair OF agricul-
tural Journalism established in Ameri-
ca, and 1t is already certain that there
will be wide demand for young men
having special training along this line
when properly supplemented by strong
practical and scientific training jour-
nalism Is clearly one Of the most pot
ent Of all the influences operating for
the promotion Of American agrlcul-
ture.
1t is significant that this, the first
chair Of agricultural journalism TO be
established, is endowed by progress
sive, far sighted business man who has
q keen appreciation of the needs and
possibilities Of this work and who be-
lieves that the present day farmer, par
ticularly the college educated farmer,
needs to know how to express himself
on paper clearly, conctsely, forcibly and
logically. This chair has been endowed
by Mr.. John Clay, Of the firm OF Clay,
Robinson & Co. Of Chicago. Mr. Clay
will himself deliver the first Of II SER
les Of lectures on this subject, g. task
for which he is eminently fitted as he Is
known far and wide as one OF the
ablest and most lucid writer's on agri-
cultural topics who yields q pen on
either continent.
Mr.. Ogilvie has had a wide field of
observation and experience and comes
to his work we'll qualified to render
capable service. From the thrifty
Scotch farmer and the old time Dom
inie he obtained a good grounding in
the classics Of these great teachers.
This, followed by higher preparation
for literary work in Edinburgh, supple
mented by extensive travel including
period of years on the Australian
sheep ranches, ripened into a service
for Country Life, Bailey's Magazine,
and other publications that has attrac-
ted favorable attention on both sides
of the water.

DIVORCE PETITIONS ILLEGAL.

County Said to be VOID.
Des Moines. Dec. 23.--One- third OF
the divorce petitions filed IN the dls-
trict court, 1t is estimated. are Illegal
and upon these petitions many sep
arations have been granted. DEGREES
in hundreds of cases could be set ASIDE
on this very ground were there enough
at stake to warrant the reopenins Oh
the litigation.
The evil exists largely with lawyers
who are attempting to secure, as ad-
vertised, quiet divorces for their clients
Thus they dalude the public by merely
alleging cruel and inhuman treatment
without setting forth any specific acts
In the petition. Thus far safe they
await an opportunity Of catching the
Judge at leasure when there are but
few about the court house to prove
their claim.
The code Of Iowa provides that the
acts of the defendant shall be set forth
In the petition. TO state cruel and In
human treatment is q conclusion, and
does not amount to stating the facts
according to local Judges Of the court.

Newly Formed Des Moines Or

Announces Its Program
PLANS FOR PUBLIC WELFARE
League Was Formed Because Of Be-
lief That Des Moines Is Paying too
Dear for tho Service it Receives -
Taxpayers to be Given Statement
of the Facts.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 20. - The new Des
Mo'nes civic league means business
and will actively enter into considera-
ton OF matters affecting the public
welfare. /. r. Tone, a we'll known and
veteran business man, is president and
Fl. S. Coggeshall secretary. A com
nlunication has been gent out asking
for contributions and pledges for sup
port Of the league with the following
suggestions as to the purposes OF the
same and the program:
"Under careful business management
Des Molnes would probably today have
no bonded indebtedness and the tax
payer would be relieved Of the annual
tax of $2S,420 collected to pay interest
on this indebtedness.
''Greater Des Moines in 1890 (the
year of annexation) had no indebted
ness, each municipality entering into
the consolidation assuming Its own
indebtedness under the provisions of
the consolidation act. Inside Of six
years the city had accumulated in
outstanding warrants a floating debt Of
$455, 0OO--al. average Of $4,000 each
year-of which $395,000 were funded
into bonds Of 1896, 1897 and 1898, and
have already cost in interest alone
$118, 400.
"All this indebtedness has been ac-
cumulated because Of allowing expen-
ses to exceed current revenues. The
system which has produced this result
is generally illegal and certainly I'M
businesslike.
"Des Moines' levy for municipal pur-
poses in 1896 was 211s mills. This levy
was gradually increased until 1t reach
ed in 1903 37.8 mills. The taxable val
ne In 1896, under the method of as
sessment then in force, was $16,475,26O,
and in 1903 it was $15,644.000. showing
an increase of over IS per cent in the
levy with shrinkage Of about per
cent In the taxable value of all proper
ty assessed.
During the last five years, with
tax levy averaging over SO mills. the
current expenses for city purposes have
gregating about 100000, which is paid
by the levying of a judgment fund tax,
ranging from to 3h mills annually.
1.-THE increased city levies. supple
mented by increased levies in the
school and county funds. have placed
Des Moines' tax rate close to per cent
on the net taxable value, or per cent
on the actual value, which is not far
below the highest of any municipality
in the United States similarly situated,
a condition which cannot fail to ham
per Des Moines' growth and prosper
ity.
"a belief that Des Moines is paying
too dear for the service it receives has
caused to be organized the Des MONIES
Civic League. Its object is to form
careful and thorough system Of inspec-
ton Of all that pertains to the expen-
diture of taxes by all public bodies and
provide method Of laying the facts
pertaining thereto, before the taxpay-
ers. 1t is thought that by this means
Des Moines might profit as Chicago
and some smaller cities have profted
under a similar plan."
