fitted the community this injustice
would be irrelevant. The writer new

money lender who wants it abolished.
He rails and curses the law but only
to justify himself in evading It, Not
one of them has ever raised his voice
to secure its abolition.
Let me call your attention to an
other matter. When farm mortgages
were being made at Z per cent your
lands were not worth nearly as much
as they are now. The very moment
that the gold standard was agreed on
by the American people, interest
on farm loans dropped to per cert,
and there is coincidence between the
two that is significant and natural;
lands began to go up. A farm wor h
$50 then is worth $50 now. Not all
this advar ce is due to 5 per cent mon
ey. / cannot pretend to say how much
of it is. but do know that a part of
it--a large parts due to lower inter-
est rates. When the fate went to 5
per cent, there were ten buyers where
there was one before. and now if YOU
will force interest to or 31a per cent,
you willsereate another large army of
buyers.
Invite money for investment in Iowa
by removing this ubiquitous and vexa-
tious tax, remove all burdens. make the
laws to the lender just as favorable
and just as fair as you can, and you
will see such an influx of capital as
you never dreamed Of If this results
in an advance in land of $40 an acre,
or even SIS, this means $500 to the own
err of every quarter section in Iowa.
The abolition of taxes on monies and
credits will raise the taxes on visible
property, an inf1nitesima1 sum, it won't
cost the owner of quarter section
$500 to make up his share of the de-
ficit in hundred years.

4 SAD ANNIVERSARY.

Today is a. notable date in Iowa and
especially in Grinnell as the anniver-
sary of the great storm of 1882, when
a tornado destroyed Iowa College
buildings and laid one-fifth OF the city
of Csrinnell in ruins.
The storm gathered IN Cherokee,
Carroll, Buena Vista and Calhoun
counties swept over Greene where it
began to whirl and the funnel shape to
take form. It dropped to earth in
Boone county, destroyed barns and
1 buildings, and killed child and tore
across Story, leaving disaster in its
track.
No city stood in its path until it
had reached Grinnell. It smashed the
town Houses were crushed like egg
shells and more than a hundred and
: injured human beings lay grooming in
the wreckage. Sweeping on to the east
It caught up 8, Rock Island train and
flung it into the ditch killing two
men. Thence on to Malcolm, where it
wrecked homes and business houses
and left seven dead and many injured.
Here the storm divided and spread
over wider scope of country, as a
straight wind. 1t wrought death and
destruction to the Mississippi.
The number of persons killed by this
storm were: lEifty-seven in Powe-
shiek county; tv,o in Story; seven in
Jasper; two in Henry, beside those
who afterward died of injuries. The
property loss was estimated at more
than a million.

searching and convincing than Mr..
Vollmer's.
The whole system is fundamentally
wrong. All taxes are eventually paid

lar case, the consumer happens to be
the borrower. the farmer, the mer-
chant. the manufacturer and the lab
orer.

AMERICAN scANpINAvlANs.

Certain Norwegian and Swedish
newspapers published in America,
show tendency to fight out the diff
ficulties Of Norway and Sweden on the
neutral ground of their adopted coun-
try. but it is equally notable that
Swedish and Norwegian Americans
refuse to become excited and are only
reasonably interested in the discus
sion. They are letting Sweden and
Norway settle their own disputes,
while attending to the business of the
hour in the enjoyment of American
citizenship.
1t is thru no lack of patriotism for
their mother countries that the Scan
dinavian goes on farming, undisturb-
ed by changes in the government Of
the peninsula, for no people remember
better the land Of their nativity. But
the predominant quality of the Scan
dinavian in America is plain common
sense.
Swedes and Norwegians have been
brought close together in the new land,
have intermarried and lived and la
bored here not more as Norwegians
and Swedes as Scandinavians Their
interests here are common. The Scan
ten the strictness Of nationality. Scan-
dinavians stick together.
Then, too, first of all, they are all
Americans. They have lost touch with
kings. The Scandinavian peaant in
America has developed into complete
citizenship, outgrown castes learned
to despise birth and honor manliness.
The quarrels of princes fail to inter-
est him. He turns to his fields his
cattle and his business after cursory
glance content to let dynasties settle
their own disputes. Calm resolute
and intelligent, and content, the squab-
blers of Europe fail to disturb the even
tenor of his way
The Scandinavian is welcome ac-
cession to this country that is glad to
receive him. Industrious and broad
minded he learns American citizenship
as he learns our language. He is a
friend to education and good govern
ment. He Is success in business and
in citizenship. He keeps out of the
poor house and he votes right. This
country can take and assimilate all
Norway and Sweden have to spare of
their. hard headed, hard working sons.

DENNls0N STILL m THE TOLLS,

Definite announcement by the prose-
cutting attorneys, that Tom Dennison
must stand trial at Red Oak for COM
plicity in the Pollock diamond robbery,
will set at rest much adverse and UNI
justif1able criticism Of the verdict
which cleared him of the charge of re-
ceiving stolen property in the state.
One northwestern Iowa county paper
recently insisted that CAS- it stands, the
Dennison verdict stands as a foul stain
on the escutcheon of fair Iowa. 1t is
lucky or the rnoonshine districts of
Georgia, or the lawlessness of Skaguay
or Cape Nome This criticism of the
jury is unfounded and grew out of
the mistaken idea prevalent over the
state that Dennison was being tried for
completely, when in fact, his trial was
upon the other indictment, and the
chance of securing a conviction slight.

indictment. If Dennison came into
iowa and got the diamonds, the state
failed to prove it.
The trial for completely should, If
possible. have been brought first. Most
Of those who heard the evidence will
agree that the state connected Dem
nison by an APPALLING mass Of direct
and circumstsntial evidence with the
robbery Of the diamond merchant. Had
completely been the point upon which
the verdict depended, it is quite prob
able that the verdict would have been
reversed.
It is entirely proper to try Dennison
en- the present charge. From the evil
dence brought out at Red Oak. it
would be a. manifest dereliction not to
do so. Donnison is. still long way
from freedom. The inmeshing threads
