The Waterloo Reporter says that at
great many OF the fall public sales
in that section corn in the field has
sold for $50 an acre and very often
for considerably more than this sum.
This return means an eight per cent
investment on land at a valuation of
$3.50 per acre, which can reasonably
be considered fair income on pres
ent prices of Iowa land, which some
people profess to believe is somewhat
high. With these facts in mind the
Reporter thus points an important
moral and adorns an interesting tale:
Perhaps it can be proven that Mr..
Bryan's election, and the consequent
substitution of his policies for those
which now prevail, would improve
present conditions for the producer

err provided that, for the purpose OF
the enforcement of this act in all Its
parts, the board of supervisors may
levy tax each year, in the counties
Of this state, to which this act Is
applicable, not to exceed one mill on
the dollar in any year, In addition
to the taxes which they are now

The recent amendments apply only
to counties having population OF
more than fifty thousand, and all of
the counties to which they apply have
promptly availed themselves of the
enlarged powers.
Some of the ether states are incor-
porating in their juvenile court law,
what is termed a contributory de-
linquency provision. Such provis-

meant that where any child would be

/ statute of this state, the parent or
/ parents, legal guardians or person

any other person responsible for, or
by any act encouraging, causing or
contributing to the delinquency of
such child, shall be guilty of a GRIM

for the immunity which has so long
prevailed, there is no reason, then
\ such immunity should 50 no .onser

the real criminal, and the law should
be so amended as to fully carry out
this idea.

SCHOOLS APlNe THE COLLEGES.

SCHOOLS APiNG THE COLLEGES.
State superintendent Riggs con-
tends, rightly, too, that fraternities
have no proper place in the puollc
schools. He declares that they make
the pupils clannish, lead to favoritism,
are enemies to discipline and breed
ers of mischief generally. He says
they may be tolerated with propriety
in college where conditions are en-
tirely different. In noting Superin-
tendent Riggs attitude toward the
fraternities the Cedar Falls Record,
edited by an experienced educator
suggests that there is another thing
he could have opposed with propriety
and that is the matter of naming
high school classes after those main
tanned in colleges The Record holds
that freshmen, sophomores, juniors
and seniors have no place whatever
in high school circles; that they are
! terms that belong to colleges and uni
versities and are wonderfully cheap
ened when dragged into high schools.
The objection to this arrangement is
thus forcibly stated by that paper:
This aping of colleges by the high
schools of the country has impressed
many a boy and girl with the idea
that when they got through high
school they had all the knowledge
available and with this hallucination
tinkling in their imaginations they
have refused to patronize the col
( ege when they could well have af-
!forded a classical education The
high school is all right. 1t is doing a
great work for the boys and girls of
the country and it ought to rest Upon

exalt it above its station

Attention is called TO the IdcL THAT
this table presents several significant
facts worthy of more than passing at
tention. From 1890 to 1892 the cost
per member for out-of-work benefits
decreased from 5000 to s065. In
March, 1898, the Democratic admin
stration came into power. The cost
per member increased in that year to
1884, then to 1927. then slight drop
to $500 and rise again in 1896 to
s6.43 per member. In March, 1897, the
Republican administration returned.
The cost per member during that year
fell to S446, and as business conf
dence was gradually restored and en-
ployment became more general. il
continued to decline unit, in 1903 ii
was reduced to but s040 per member
In 1904 and 1905 there was a slight
increase, which was followed in 1906
by a decline that continued through
1907, the cost of outof-work benefits
during that year being s0.47 per mem
Der. Thus while from 1896 to 1907
the total membership increased from
27,31S to 41,337, or 81 per cent, the
total cost for out-of-work benefits de
creased from s175,767 to s19,497 so
