Cedar Rapids Republican.)


1t is the policy of the great brewery
interests to force the saloon business
every where Their policy in this is
clearly set forth in an article in this
months issue of McClure's Magazine
which was reviewed in these columns
last Sunday. The individual saloon
keeper cuts no figure any more. In
a majority of cases, he makes little,
if any, profit The policy now being
to multiply saloons to such an extent
that the profits of the retailer reach
the vanishing point. The profit of
the brewery, however, is assured. In
pursuance of this policy. the saloon
business is being forced every where.
1t is being forced in this town. The
proposition to locate a saloon in the
Fifth ward in close proximity to the
Pawnee mills is in exact keeping with
the policy outlined in Mr. Turner's
article in the April Mcclure $. Cedar
Rapids should give the brewers to
understand once for all that such a
policy will not be tolerated here. Ce-
dar Rapids is not prohibition town
at least not now. Saloons decently
conducted and SO placed as not to Of
fend people who have no use for them,
will be tolerated in Cedar Rapids, but
if any Chicago tactics are attempted
here-welI. the people will not stand
for it, that is all. If the brewery peo-
pie are wise they will let well enough,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HOW TO REDUCE OUR TAXES.
(sioux City Tribune.)

(sSiouX City Trlbune)
Nebraska has suggested to Sioux
City one way to reduce the tax levy
In the city and county.
The legislature at Lincoln recently
approved law which provides for
what is called terminal taxation" This
applies to railroad property. In Ne
braska as in Iowa. the mileage system
of railroad taxation has been in use.
The executive council Of the state COM
putes the total value of the property
of each railroad company, that is, the
right-of- way, terminals, stations and
then divides this aggregate valuation
by the number of miles of road owned
by the company in the state. Thus
each mile is assessed exactly the same
amount and each county, town and
city is paid taxes upon the mileage
within its borders.
This means that the value of the
railroad terminals in Sioux City, for
example, is distributed along the en-
tire Iowa mileage of the Sioux City
roads. The large property values owned
by the railroads here go to enhance the.
value of straight trackage out on the
prairies Many a county and town in
Iowa therefore is receiving taxes tina:
rightfully belong to Sioux City. The
railroads all pay taxes on terminal
properties, but not to the city or coun-
ty where they are located
Now Nebraska's new law provides

POST CARDS AND FOOLS.

Not long ago student at Iowa uni
versity was arraigned before a fed
eral grand jury at Cedar Rapids
charged with sending an obscene post
card thru the mails. The jury refused
to indict him and failed to class the
card with obscene pictures. The con-
tention of the defendant was that the
card was not obscene, and in this the
verdict supported him. The card con-
sisted of three spaces. In one OF
these a pair of lovers were kissing.
The next space was blank, and the
third bore picture of young woman
kissing baby.
Most of us will agree with with the
grand jury in its decision that the
card was not obscene. 1t was, how
ever, so suggestive that it should be
barred from the mails and bring gen
eral approval to the parent who might
hunt UP and beat the puppy who has
the nerve to mail such cards to his
daughter.
The post card in its proper use is
delight. The traveller can with the
slightest trouble keep any number of
friends posted as to his whereabouts
and the places and things of interest
he sees in his wanderings. A we'll
filled post card album is at once in
teresting and delightfully."- instructive.
But any attempt to adopt the Italian
