Observation-Disclosures

Upon direction of Judge Richard the
grand jury this morning took up an
investigation of the slot machines
which have been operating openly in
the city for years. AS result not a
machine is in sight this afternoon ex-
cept those in the operations of which a
man cannot lose. What the grand
jury will ultimately do about the mat

that warning will be given and all
places notified that these machines
must be put out of commission.
A complaint came to Judge Richard
this morning regarding the machines.
A little six year old lad came home to
his parents the other day with a hand
full of chips he had won on some ma

morning and directed them forthwith
to make an investigation.

FEDERAL tnaER!TsNcE TAX. I.

aa Since President Roosevelt's Harris

newed In that address President
Roosevelt said:
But it is our clear duty to see, in
the interest of the people, that there is
adequate supervision and control over

Iowa has a collateral inheritance
{ tax law that has worked fairly well,
and is bringing in some revenue. But
as the president has pointed out, it is
will meet situations inwhich more than
one state is interested.
Iowa, however, does not have, to
meet. in the same degree at least the
difficulties experienced in the eastern
states. In New York alone it is said
scores of millionaires whose fortunes,
ests are in reality in the great me-
tropolis, acquire a nominal residence
outside the state to escape taxation by
the state. Their wealth being not in
the form of real or tangible property, it
is easily shifted from the jurisdiction
of one state TO another.
Under federal inheritance tax law
the estates of men who had built up
enormous fortunes would at the death

residence, pay tribute to the govern

the protecting ARM of the law alone
had enabled them to accumulate. Such

RIDICULOUS JOURNALISM.

The one or two newspapers in Iowa
which have so much to fear from the
resurrection of their past utterances,
and the employment Of parallel col
umns, are not alone in their grief. The
yellow journal which is owned by Mr..
Hearst is now being held up to ridi-
oule for its inconsistency and appar-
ent insincerity. Since the nomination
Of Mr. Hughes as the republican candi-
date in opposition to Mr.. Hearst, the
New York American has begun to be-
rate Mr. Hughes on the charge that
he spared men in high republican
places when conducting the insurance
invetigation. The purpose is to dis
credit the excellent work done by
Hughes as prosecutor, and to rob
him of public confidence thus inspired.
The trouble is that when Hughes was
conducting the prosecuting, and before
he had been mentioned as candidate,
the American had been foremost in
creating public confidence in his work.
