solemnly warns the country that the
daily attacks on the railroad compan-

ARGUMENT FOR INTERuRRANs.
The interurban in Des Moines is no

The interurban in Des Moines is no
longer an experiment. 1t has demon
strated It's usefulness as a boon to
the merchants in affording facilities
for travel to farmers. 1t has afforded
a better market for the merchants in
enlarging their territory and 1t also
has brought the farmer nearer to his
market, permitting him to bring his
farm produce, his butter and his eggs
to town at saving of time, trouble
and money. But it has done more.
1t has increased the value of farm
lands. The Des Moines Capital in
discussing this feature of the interur-
ban says:
built out of Des Moines the past five
years have given a tremendous i'm
petus to the value of farm lands. Farm
property has doubled and trebled ill
value along the lines of the interur-
bans and real estate men say that the
maximum Of acreage value is still far
from being reached. Farm land on
the interurban has sold for as high
as $500 an acre and stands cnance
Of going still higher.
This is of special interest in this
city, owing to the determination of
the Commercial association to make
1907 an interurban year in Ottumwa.
It should also move the farmers in the
vicinity of Ottumwa to make every eff
fort to assist in building interurbans,
which exert such an influence on land
values.

What An Insurgent Farmel
Thinks of His Party.

"A Farmer" writing in the
Milbank Review, moralizes as
follows:
Last year when certain indivi-
duals in this county and state
We're looking for office for them
selves and their friends, the
speakers, voluntary and hired,
were going about the state tell
ing the farmers how unjustly
they were being treated in the
matter of taxation, how the
farmers and merchants were
paying comparatively all the
taxes and how the railroads
were going comparatively free,
and asking the farmers. to
abandon the old rotten machine
dominated over by Alex johnson
and Harry Hunter and vote for
a new machine that would right
these terrible injusJices that
We're being heaped on the farm
ers IN the way of taxation. Be
ing a farmer | know this class
Of argument appeals to us, as
farmers + not in a position to
know just how these things are.
So of course we believed the fell
lows and voted for the new
machine and elected it from the
bull wheel down. Now we see
that the new machine has been
at work making the assessment
complete for 1907. We see that
the total assessment of railroads
for 1907 is $21, 664, 700, an in
crease, including new roads
built by four roads on five lines;
of Sc, 702, $50. while the assess
ment on farm lands is $3.50, 1870,
428, an increase of $26, 573, 622,
at increase on farm lands alone
of nearly $4,000, 900 more than
the entire railroad assessment of
the state. So for every dollar
they put on the railroads in the
way of taxes in increase, they
put nearly four dollars on the
farmers of the state. So when
we go to pay our taxes we will
have the satisfaction of knowing
that we caught the railroads for
a quarter as mush as VIC got
caught as farmers, so we ought
not to kick.
We notice also that we have
two telephone lines in this
county, The Dakota Central,
which has been charged with be-
ing an arrogant corporation, and

Central was assessed 81, 1863
