LOCAL COMMENT

If it is true, as contended by some
of the councilmen, that Mr.. Sieg has
inspired the resolution eliminating GER
tain lands from certain levies for taxa
ton and that it would, in effect, cut
the taxes on his own property, Mr..
Sieg's motive for reform comes under
suspicion The suggestion will bear
investigation.
In these times of piping prosperity
there is no demand to cut expenses of
the municipal government provided
each expenditure is returning value re-
ceived. There is no money expended
by the people which brings such large
returns as the taxes they pay for mu-
nicipal improvements and comforts.
This is true because of the greater
purchasing power by cooperation. No
citizen could provide his home with as
/ good sewer connections as the city
can provide him without he spends
many times the amount of his sewer
tax No man could get as good wat
err supply at so small an expense as
his city can give him. Likewise with
fire protection, the paid fire. depart
ment is worth more to the individual
| in insurance at less cost than he could
provide for himself single handed. In
| the case of a library tax one
/ fifth of 1 per cent on one-fourth the
valuation of his taxable property,
gives him library worth thousands
of dollars and which would cost him
! $4,000 per year to maintain for him.
self. Or, put it another way: such

| but millionaires, whereas every citizen
| of Marshalltown, whether his annual
income be $500 or $4,000, now pos
sesses the luxury and the comforts ana
the educational advantages of a mill
| ionaire's library at net cost OF 10
cents per year for each man, woman
and child living in the city. If any
| individual thinks that he is paying
more than his share because he has
more property for taxation than some
| of the rest of us, let him give us the
property and we will gladly pay the
| taxes.
| The facts are, Marshalltown taxes
are not high, considering the munich
pal improvements and comforts her
citizens possess. There is not town
in the west better PROVIDED, hence not
city in which it IS more desirable to
live. For advertising purposes, it
would be far better to increase prop
erty valuations and reduce the nlu-
nicipal and school levies, so as to
show small levies while not skimping
in taxes, but this would result in tax
ing ourselves heavier for state Iur-
purposes, since state levies could not
be reduced to suit our particular city
alone, hence we have very little
grounds for complaint so long as no
graft or extravaganza, enters into the
administration of our municipal ex-
penditures.

Fifty Men Burned-VictimS
Coming Up Shaft When
Accident Occurred.

Genesee, n. Y, Feb. 3.-Fifty men
were burned, many Of them seriously,
in a fire at the Sterling Salt COM
peny's mine near Cuyler. The explo-
sion was caused by an accumulation
of gas in the SAND house near the sur
face. The men were coming up the
shaft at the close Of the days work
when the gas was ignited by one Of
their lamps. A binding explosion fol-
lowed. The men were all brought to
the surface by rescue parties. The
most seriously injured are Manager
John B. Knox, Jr., Patrick Carey,
William Oakley and Charles Williams
Gas has been struck many times in
sinking the shaft and several minor
explosions had occurred within the

It was first feared after the explo-

At the Evanston club a story is some
times told about a-hOle-in-one feat, bat
some doubt its truth. 1t seems that one
day ball was driven from the third tee
and apparently dropped in the third
green, But when the man who drove 1t
searched for il he could not find it.
Later another golfer found a ball in the
hole Of the third green. He took it to
the club and asked If anyone had lost a
ball near the spot. The man who had
searched in vain identified il, and it is
said that he thereafter took unto him
self the honor of having made a hole in
one.

That it is possible to hole hall in a
single stroke over distance of rs yards
may seem impossible but such a feat has
been done by a Kansas City golf player.
Here is an account of the feat:
John J. Fennelly made the seven
teenth hole at the Country club in one
stroke Saturday. That means that with
a light stick about four feet in length,
knOtted at the lower end, he caused a
balm size somewhere between a ten
mis- ball and a marble-tO sail over about
Us yards of uneven territory and finally
light in a hole in the ground about the
same as that of a tomato can. 1t may
not mean much to the layman, but to
the golf player it is a sensation. Holes
have been made in one before at both the
Evanston and the Country club, but not
over so long a distance, not holes us
yards from the teeing place. Mr.. Fen
nelly's accomplishment will be a DOGGY
at the Country club, probably, for many
a season.
When Mr.. Fennelly stood on the sew
enteenth teeing ground with his club
poised, ready to soak the small white
pellet on the mound in front of him
there were clouds in the sky and a little
mist. When the ball left the mound Mr..
Fennelly and his companion player, G. ].

bottom of the HILL then gradually rise
