WRITE TO THE EDITORS.

The Capital Journal says:
Every editor desires TO make his

II is a joke as old as the daily news
papers that when an Englishman Is In

habit has contribut a more than any
thing else, toward making the Times
powerful.
Letters from readers are always well

DAY OF SUBSIDIES PAST.

Teh day for Offering subsidies for
securing new enterprises is past. II
has been Characteristic Of new cities
ana towns on this coast, the subsidies
usually being offered by the own:rs of
the town site. Astoria is not new
town. In fact, 1t is one Of the Oldest in
the state. Subsidies have be;n given
here for enterprises. but with one or
two exceptions they have prsven dis
satisfactory. Astoria is dssirous OF
securing manufacturing enterprises
ana it's accessibility to ocean and rail
make it a desirable business location.
The people win welcome any invest
ment and give Il their aid and sup
port, but II ia not in position to offer
subsidies or bonuses for the establish
ment of any enterprise. II 1t was an
out of the way place and new town,
with men owning the town sic who
expected to sell property BY the estae-
lishment of new industries, !; would be
different. But II is an old Established
city. It's natural advan ages are worth
more than all the monied subsidies
that could be offered.
Astoria has warehouses, wharves
and docks for the convenience Of man
ufacturers for shipping purpos:s. II
has virtually transcontinental rail-
road enabling all kinds Of manufac-
fured products to be shipped TO all
parts Of the United States without
breaking bulk. II is at the mouth OF
one Of the largest rivers in the world,
where ships from every country come
to its wharves seeking freight. 1t has
the raw material for the manufacture
Of many products. easily accessible
and cheap in price. II has sites for
any kind Of a manufacturing business
and a market for the output. With
all Of these advantages, there Is no
necessity Of offering subsidies, because
these are more valuable and are perm
anent.
II is anticipated that hundreds OF In
tending investors will visit the mouth
of the Columbia river this summer and
an examination of location and grand
natural resources will no doubt be ar
incentive for some of the eastern capi-
tai which will pour into the state tc

Der of manufacturing industries and

in this line, and the further fact that
there has not bsen a business failure
in the city during the past 10 years
is proof of the stability of the city and
its business interests and industries

sidered by intending investors. AS q
rule, people who desire 20 locate In

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Very properly the health oficer OF
Spokane announces that all goods and
articles at "rummage sales" must be
fumigated before being offered for
sale. His idea Is that in the old clio h
ing and other casts-off offered at these
rummage sales, there must be more or
less contagious matter. as people are
never particular about making old
garments absolutely clean when put
in.o the garret or other store rooms.

A CASE OF 1T.
Many More Like 1t In Leon.

The following case is but one of many
similar occurring daily in Leon. 1t is an
easy matter to verify it's correctness.
Surely you cannot ask for better proof
than such conclusive evidence.

primary cause of backache it certainly
aggravated the attacks. My back has
ached so severely that could neither
stand nor walk. 1t hurt to stoop, it
hurt to lift, it hurt excruciatingly to
saw wood and after bringing any extra
strain on the muscles of the back l
have been sore and lame for day s

1t Should be Defeated.

The State Bar association will pre-
pare and present to the next Iowa legis-
lature bill for the exemption of all
moneys and credits from taxation. The
farmers and other property owners
should combine and defeat the PROPOSE
ton. They should also ask for law
taxing mortgages and permitting those
having mortgages on their property to
deduct the same from the total value Of
their holdings when listing them for
assessment. Mortgages and notes not
listed for taxation should be declared
null and void. All property should
bear its just share of the public burden
whether in form of lands, buildings,
money, machines or franchises.
But some one says that this will drive
capital out of the state. Let it go, if
those who have other kinds of invest
ments must pay for the protection and
advantages it enjoys. The loss of few
money loaners will not effect Iowa soil
or lessen the magnitude of the products
of our state.
The theory that the dollar is superior
to the man should not be countenanced
by the justice-loving citizens of Iowa.

State Taxes.

Tax payers of Iowa must contribute
SCHOLARSHIPS to the support of school,

this year. This sum includes all the
tax levied on the state on the 1904 val
uations except special improvement
taxes in cites and the mulct law tax.
1t is not quite 100000 more than the
tax levy for last year, which was $685.

Auditor of State Carroll has just
completed totals for the tax levy for
1904 as reported to him by the county
auditors. These figures showed total
taxable valuation of all property in the
state Of $640,960,46S. The real value of
this property being four times the tax
able, makes the total valuation of all
Iowa property over two and half bill
lions of dollars. On this valuation is
tax total of S25,693,S42.6S to be collect
ed the present year.
OF the tax collection by far the larg-
est sum goes.to district schools which
will receive $685., SO7.5O. The county
school fund will also receive 1929, 260.14

State Superintendent of Instruction
Riggs is receiving many letters from
residents Of other states who want to
come to Iowa to teach school. They
have gained the impression that there
is scarcity of teachers in Iowa. The
superintendent states that such is by
no means the case. Here and there, in
isolated districts, where the pay was
ridiculously low, there has been diff
Guilty in getting teachers, but no out
siders would care to come here to take
places of that kind, and there is very
healthy competition for all positions
paying a good salary. The agitation
for increase of teachers salaries has re-
suited in an improvement in conditions
in many sections Of the state, but there
s still room for more.
