ment by the law If the facts are as
believed by the friends Of George Du-
gan, it would seem that some punish
ment should be inflicted upon his as
sailant.
No one should make the mistake of
saying that Myron Tullar has had no
punishment. The shock Of having
killed man with no intention of so
doing; the long four months of walt
ing with the shadow of the penitenti-
airy over him; the agony of his family;
the strain OF trial; the large expense OF
the defense; all these have given him
an experience that will last him as long
as he lives. He has had a lesson, and
every other man has had lesson, on
the danger of allowing passion to lead
him into physical combat. This will
not bring George E. Dugan back to
life; it will not make the sorrow of his
widow and his children less hard to
bear; but 1t may be a wholesome les
son to the community and to those
men who are inclined to put brute
force above the law.

mulcT TAX AND BOOZE TAX.

The effect of high mulct taxes upon
the saloon business can be quite clear
~ discerned by cursory glance at a
few cities. In Burlington for instance
the mulct tax is only $500 per annum
and Burlington has one saloon to every
PSI people while in Waterloo mulct
tax of $1,000 results in one saloon to
753 people. If it is true that a saloon
must sell $4,000 worth of booze in a
year in order to make a profit for the
proprietor the result is an average tax
of $500 per family per annum for
booze in Burlington under a $500 mulct
as compared to a tax of 500 per fam
lily per annum in Waterloo under a
$1,000 mulct. The query inevitably
follows what would be the result in
Wv aterloo under mulct of $1,000 per
annum? Would the saloons become
less and the tax per family drop to
$50 per annum?
AS compiled the mulct tax, number
of saloons and apportionment per
hundred people in thirteen leading
Iowa towns is as follows

Practical Station Agent and His Telephone

In your recent issue of the Times
Republican I noticed and read very
carefully an item headed Telephones
and Station Agents." Also later one
headed Station Agents and Tele-
phones" would like to set forth the
practical side of the question and while
can speak from the station agents
side with more knowledge than from
the other, nevertheless wish to speak
from what would say the practical
Agent and the Telephone"
We will all admit from the agents
standpoint that the telephone is at
times a serious question and some
times we are inclined to wish there
were no such things as telephones. This
about the time when an agent, who is
also the operator and baggage man, is
into a train order and with two or three
standing at the window, tapping the
counter with a dollar, and
asking for their tickets, or tell
ing you that they have some excess
baggage to check and the train is COM
ing. OF course the telephone operator
does not know what you are doing, she
has troubles of her own - and plenty
of them, too. If she fails to raise you
with the first ring, the party who wish
es to know when the next train goes,
or what kind of connections they can
make going to some certain point, and
what the rate will be, will keep con-
tinually at her and continue to do so
until he does get the agent.
Why not have an understanding with
your central telephone girl in this way:
When you ring twice, If you do not
get me, you can know that l am either
so busy that it is impossible to answer
you or that I am outsider" I find no
trouble with people calling me more
than once or twice. while it is very
likely 1 will be called a great many
times in succession by different peo-
pie who wish to ask about different
things am scarcely ever called by the
one party more than twice when CEN
trail will notify the party that I am
out or that am busy.
Very often will answer my telephone
when I am unable to give them the de-
sired information at the time, due to
the fact that trains are here or that
passengers are waiting at the window
for tickets or baggage to be checked.
/ always ask them their number or
where I can reach them and will call
them up later and give them the de-
sired information. This will not hurt
you and it will make you more friends
than to answer them gruffly or give

srocx COMPANY INSURANCE. +,

Senator Warren, of Marion county
has introduced bill in the legislature
which provides for real Insurance re-
form. Senator Warren could well have
been named on the insurance commits
sion for he introduced the resolution al
the last session calling for it's appoint
ment. but Lieutenant Governor Her.
riott thought otherwise.
II Senator warren's bill becomes a
law life insurance companies, hereat-
ter. will have to begin business with
100000 capital paid in in actual cash
and il there are any stock companies
now operating with notes in their
treasures from stockholders taken for
stock In lieu Of cash, those notes must
be replaced with cash Immediately.
There ought to be no difference OF
opinion over such bill but of course
there will be- Old line life insurance
had far better be conducted by re-
sponsible stock companies. The mutual
feature in actual practice becomes
farce. No man who takes out an in
surance policy has any time or inclina-
ton to journey to headquarters to ex-
ercise his voting franchise. He would
have no show against the "ins" il he
did, for they have the records and the
agency force with which to cozen

holders to outvote any recalcitrant. It
IL more business-lik to require insur-

companies with actual cash capital

put them in the same class with banks
and require double liability from

This fall in the value of imports
from Cuba in 1906 is due las already
Indicated, to reduction in the price OF
sugar, the quantity of sugar imported
from the island during the year being
considerably greater than in 1905, When
the total value was much larger.
When compared to the purchasing
power of country like Germany, for
instance, the poverty stricken natives
OF tropical island bear an infinitesimal
part in the possibilities of increased
foreign markets for American pro-
ducts. A gain from 20 to 46 millions
in the value of goods sold in Cuba by
reason of better trade relations would
grow into gain of hundreds of mill
lions In country like Germany. 1t
that country could only be induced to
admit American meats as freely as
Great Britain does she would show us
new market for 20 millions worth of
hams alone and then accept no more
than the United Kingdom does now.
In the case of Cuba we conceded 20
per cent on sugar somewhat against
the protest of the sugar trust. In the
case OF Germany we might have to
concede 90 per cent on steel or snide
jewelry. toys or the like. Is it good
business to stand pat?

TWENTY MILLIONS IN RECIPROCITY,

There are evidences of the effect of
reciprocal treaties upon exports of
American manufactured and meat pro-
ducts which are actual and demon
strable from experience. Exports from
the United States to Cuba never touch
ed the 20 million dollar line until 1892
and 1893, when under the reciprocity
authorized by the act of 1890 they av-
eraged % millions in each of the years
named. In 1894, during the depression
of the war, the figure dropped to II
millions and did not again cross the 20
million dollar line until 1899 averaging
about "a millions per annum from that
time until the end of 1903. In Decem-
Der of 1903 the new reciprocity agree
ment went into operation, and in 1904
the total was, as above Indicated, over
80 million dollars; in 1905, over A.
millions; and in 1906, over 46 millions.
On the import side the values ranged
between 90 and rs millions per annum
down to the end of 1894, dropping as
low as 16 millions during the war per-
iod, but again crossing the 80 million
dollar line in 1900, reaching 81 mil
lions in 1903, IS millions in 1904, $685.
