GOOD BALANCES IN FUNDS
Treasurer Cooper's Report Shows a
Total of $425477.o7 as the Aggregate

The report Of County Treasurer j.
P. Cooper, which has just been accept
ed by the checking committee of the
board OF supervisors, composed of w.
H. Jones and ex-Supervisor 7. P.
Marsh, shows the interesting fact that
more tax collections We're made during
| the year just closed than ever before
in the history of the county. The en-
tire amount of money collected during
the year. including taxes and sundry
collections for 1905, aggregates the
magnificent sum of s425,477O7.
On the regular tax list of 1904, which
was collected last year, was the sum
Of $34s,52569 The amount turned over
by the county auditor for collection,
1904 list. was $346,590.O9, subject to a
reduction of $1,713.S4 on account of eX-
emptions allowed by the board of SUI
pervisors, and deduction ordered by
the district court. This latter was the
valuation of the Marshalltown Light.
Power & Railway Companys property.
which amounted in taxes to $9S7.50.
Aside from the 1904 collections the
office collected on previous years the
following sums: One thousand nine
hundred three list, $z49,ss; 1902 list.
$226.S9; 1901, $4,000; 1900, $47.S1; pre-
vious years, $2S7.O3.
Specials for 1905 were also collected
as follows:
Paving Observation-Disclosures. $21, S52.5
Sidewalk Observation-Disclosures. 5,50S.27
,, Liquor 12,455.00
Cigaret Observation-Disclosures. 6,246.42
To the above there were added sun
dry collections amounting to $29,46S.48.
making a total as above, $425, 477.07.
The total disbursements for the year
amount to S3S9,910.66. BY deducting
this from the collections, and adding
the amount of cash on hand Jan. l.,
1905, which was $S45.79, leaves bal
ance on hand Jan. 1, 1906, of $S4,412.20,
which is distributed into forty two
different general funds. The larger
balances in the different funds are as
follows: County, s23,3O2.7s; bridge, So
173.45; general insane, $3,476.67; coun-
ty insane, $1,962.99; bond. s4,9O7.7S.
The paving fund shows a larger bal
ance than usual, owing to the money
that is being held up by the city. The
fund shows balance of $13,00361 and
of this amount between $4,000 and
$4,000 is held up.
1t is an interesting fact that the COL
lections for the year show an excess
of $3,649.44 above that turned over by
the county auditor. This is accounted
for principally by the assessment Of
property omitted by the assessor, and
assessed by the county treasurer him.
SELF also the interest collected on de-
linquent taxes.

Important Notice.

On account of a good many of our
customers receiving their pay on the
18th of each month, and a great many
of them not knowing it would be nee
essary to pay their bills on or before
the 10th, to secure the discounts, and
not being prepared for same, we have
decided for this. the first month of the
new arrangement. to extend the time
limit to receive the discounts to jan
uary 10th. Hoping this extension will
give all an opportunity to take advan-
tage of the discounts, and that you will
make your plans so as to be ready on
or before the 10th of each succeeding
month. we remain, yours truly,

ing, but it is not true that there are
any gymnastics INDUCED in, further
than what is required to dress for the
day. This early to bed and early TO
rise system, which has been in vogue
ever since the Home was started, to-
gether With the other prescribed reg
ularities of habit and the diet of we'll
cooked wholesome foods, is largely re-
sponsible for the general good health
and low deathrate of the membership
of the Home. Getting up early never
hurt anyone, providing he got to bed
early, and that is the system that has
been found so satisfactory at the
Home.
The plans of Representative B. f.
Cummings, for presenting a pure food
bill before the legislature at the pres
ent session, were read with much in
terest locally, as we'll as turnout other
parts of the state The pure food ques
ton has been discussed for years
among legislators, in women's clubs
and by physicians in their respective
assemblies. All recognize a growing
need for legislation in this direction,
and will welcome some such law that
will insure the consuming public that
what they buy is exactly as it is rep
resented, and what they pay for. An
other good feature that Will result
from the new measure as proposed by
Mr.. Cummings is that the people may
depend upon the class of goods sold
by thir home merchants, and such will
not be the case If buying is done from
outside dealers or catalog houses. The
Iowa merchant. and the jobber who
sold him the goods. are anenable to
Iowa laws. and the pure food law, If
passed. will compel them TO live up
strictly to the letter of that law, which
will mean that they can not sell goods
containing anything deleterious to
public health, or that they can not sell
goods under one name when in reality
they are something else. On the other
hand the outside dealer and the cata-
log houses are not amenable to the law.
and they may palm off anything they
may be able to sell to the unsuspect-
ing public.

LOCAL COMMENT

Governor Cummins' recommendation
in his message for amendation OF the
long and short passenger haul clause in
the railroad laws is Of especial interest
to Marshalltown residents using the
railway lines between this city and Des
Moines and to travellers with connec-
tions to make at either point. The
governors idea is to permit COMPETE
ton in passenger traffic between roads
making the same points. Thus the
mileage between Marshalltown and Des
Moines via the Chicago Great Western
is fifty-eight and one-third miles and
the regular fare $1.75. Over the Chi
cago & Northwestern the distance is
seventy-four and two thirds miles and
the price of ticket 1925 The changes
suggested by the governor would permit
the Chicago and Northwestern to make
an even rate between the two cities, re-
gardless of the difference in the mile
age between the roads Without any
doubt the Northwestern would welcome
the opportunity to change its rates and
the public would be greatly convenience
ed thereby.
The Burlington Hawkeye thinks that
the Marshalltown school board will do
the wise thing in adding a building for
the use of a manual training depart
ment and says: "Plans are being
made in Marshalltown for the erection
of a one-story school building, which
is to house the manual training de-
partment And after Marshalltown
shall have experimental for while
with manual training, perhaps she will
be wondering why she did not introduce
the new system years ago. Where
proper instructors are secured, manual
training, the art of teaching children
to think with their hands, so to speak,
has proven even more successful than
it's most ardent advocate dared to
hope"
There has been more or less COM
ment of late, especially by the coun-
try press of the state, in the way Of
expressing sympathy over an alleged
and fancied grievance of the members
of the Iowa Soldiers Home in having
to arise so early in the morning. Here
is a sample from the editorial page of
the Harlan Republicans: eff it be true
as reported, that the old soldiers at
the Iowa Soldiers Home must get up
at half past five in the morning and
go thru various drills and exercises,
Governor Cunmins ought to cut big
stick of water elm and wade in to eff
feet a reform Those old boys did
their full amount of early morning
drilling and marching some forty years
ago and more"
No 70,
truth than the above supposition OF
the part of the Harlan paper The ed
itor has taken some statement of al
legged facts upon which to base his
comment, without Investigating into
the true conditions 1t is true that the
reville Is sounded at $3.50 every morn

where located and that very much
more space is needed. Some sDecula.
tors seem to have bought the prop
erty most desirable for this purpose.
Whether or not this property neld by
these gentlemen Is valuable depends
on one Of two things; first, can IL be
unloaded on the city at a big price?
or If not, If the railroad.be built 1t will
then me valuable, having u railroad
and river front. If the railroad is not
built, It will not be valuable. Unless
the city council extends the railroad
company's franchise, the road cannot
be built. The city council has done
proper thing in deciding not to give
the franchise until a site for a Wharf
is secured, The city will not suffer,
IL this branch railroad is not built for a
few ears. 1t would be better that It
should never be built than that tile
city should be deprived Of ample
Wharfage at the proper place.
The first thing to do is to secure
the site for the wharf and then have
the railroad company adjust its grade
SO as to accommodate the wharf. The
railroad company may be compelled
ed locate the tracks as directed by
council or not locate them at al. The
city can fix the terms upon which The,
road may be built within the city
limits provided it does SO as part Of
the franchise. For the present, let

permitted to be fenced IN as Is done
