Arguing against federal control of insur-

ample state authority to regulate legal
abuses, and, he continued neither sta te

The Springfield Mass, Republican has
the following comment to make on Iowa:
"Iowa is reported to be threatened with
the loss of representive in the national
house, according to the returns from
the state census now in progress, which
indicate decrease in population. The
redistricting of the state, which would
be necessitated by reduction in repre-
sentation, might endanger along with
others, old "Pete"ss Hepburn himself
whose eyes in his own expression, weep
amber. Some of his fellow Iowans
loved him so much for his course on the
railroad rate question that they burned
him in straw to show the appreciation"
The Register and Leader however says
that there is no danger of such calam-
ity Detailing "old Pete" and it might
have added no such good luck for the
9Th district.

Iowa recently took a state census. and
incidental thereto inquiry was made as
to the number of federal employees in
Washington properly chargable to Iowa.
The enumerator found, much to his
surprise, that the list totaled only 398.
This of course includes two cabinet Of
ficials, the head of money making de-
partment, the legal adviser in treasury
matters, and batch of newspaper men.
But it has been reputed there were a
thousand or more Iowans in Office at
Washington. The discovery was made
that Ohio has 1,040 residents in Wash
ington and Pennsylvania has 1880.
Iowa will at once start movement to
equalize matters.

ANOTHER LAND CRAZE COMING.

Twenty-Five years of buying and sell
ance money on farm mortgages at Grim
nell has taught Mr.. Norris that low
interest rates multiply land buyers and
raise land prices. No truer statement
was ever made than his assertion that
the reduction of interest rates to three
and four per cent would raise the price
of farm lands by from So to $40 per
acre. The observation is based upon
natural business laws.
For the same reason is it true that
the increase of bank deposits in Iowa of
over thirty millions within the past
twelve months promises a revival of
land speculation within the next year.
Interest rates are already dropping.
Large sums lying idle in the banks are
going to make the bankers greedy for
more interest earnings. They are hui
man. Men with good security will soon
find it very easy to get money at the
bank, and then they will begin to buy
land. Confidence in land values has
never been shaken in the average Iowa
mind hence it follows that little easy
money always starts land buying.
A gain of thirty millions in bank de-
posits means another land craze just as
certainly as three or four per cent
mortgage money would mean rush of
land bidders. Easy bank money causes
bankers to ask their farmer friends to
pay off their mortgages and borrow at
the banks. This puts more money into
the market for mortgages and down
come the rates. With money easy at
the banks and ready demand for mort
gage loans at very low rates it is only a
step to the buying of more land.
Back east where lands have ceased to
constantly rise in value and offer sure
thing speculation, easy bank money
stimulates manufacturing enterprises.
The mortgage class of investors buy in
dustrial bonds and the banks encourage
young men to embark in new enter
prizes and the middle aged ones to en-
large their present operations. There
is period of expansion coming.-Mar-
shalltown Times Republican.

"why not remit the highway tax os

"Why not remit the highway tax OF
every man who will keep half mile of
road in first class shape past his farm?"
proposes the Thompson Courier. sThe
tax is to make roads, so how can it be
put to better advantage? Each farmer,
if all had a section, would have half
mile of road to make. Let them who
don't work and non-residents pay the
tax. Hold them to a thorough use of
the King drag and give them tax re-
ceipt for it,

Here's another young fellow who
wants to know if it is safe for him to
get married now that he has got $780,"
says Joe Trigg in the Iowa State Regis
ter. "Yes it is, provided that his grand
father did not give it to him and he
earned and saved this amount himself.
If young fellow does not learn the
value of money by earning it before he
is married, he is quite likely to feel the
want of it afterward."

been ordered to Omaha for the purpose of
opening a recruiting office. He will arrive
Monday The office will be opened as soon
as suitable quarters can be secured, and
It is intended to make It a permanent sta
ton. The president in his annual message
will ask that 1900 additional men be au-
thorized for the new ships. During the
next year or so there probably will be
added to the ships in commission seven
new battleships of from 1900 to 5000 tons,
four armored cruisers Of 1900 tons and
three of 10000 The complement of officers
and men for each ship varies from $50 to
over 500 Most of these ships were pro-
vided by the act of congress June T. 1900
but some OF them were authorized about
two years later. The construction of the
latter has been much more rapid-or much
less slow-and altogether the next year
marks an era in our naval development.
The battleships are of the Nebraska type.
The Nebraska was delayed, unfortunately,
by an extended strike, but since that was
settled it has progressed faster than its
sister ships. 1t was 700 per cent con-

WOMAN Ia CLUB AND CHARITY

The proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton Of the Nebraska Federation Of Wo-
mems Clubs. changing the state convention
from annual to biennial. is beginning TO be
generally discussed now that the delegates
10 the Lincoln meeting have gotten home
and made their reports to their clubs. As
was the case when the proposition was
made before, the proposition has met with
a great deal of disfavor, although there
are many who warmly advocate the change.
Those favoring the amendment are of the
opinion that, having instituted the district
convention, that meeting will, IL properly
worked up. serve even in a greater measure
than the state meeting to promote club
extension and all that such extension i'm
plies The state and national matters may
come before the district meetings for dis
cussion just as they now come at the gen
eral state meetings, while much time
might be saved by eliminating the business
Of other districts which now has to come
before the state convention. They further
argue that a biennial state meeting will
insure larger attendance at both the dis
trict and the state meetings. The women
not having far to go. will come out
more generally to the district meetings,
and can better afford to attend the more
pretentious meeting once in two years.
Finally, coming but once in two years, the
present limited funds for program purposes
will be doubled and will admit of the COM
mittee's bringing to the state speakers and
other attractions that are out of the ques-
ton now. Alternating with the biennial
of the General Federation, the national
reports could be brought up just as they
now are.
