paid to the secretary of state amount
ed to $1,000. The average price of an
automobile in Iowa is believed to be
above $1,000 Most any little auto
mobile costs more than that amount
and very few of them cost less. But
atathe average price of $1,000 the to-

be 900, and it is believed that
this is below the real value rather
than above.
The campaign to stamp tuberculosis
out of Iowa is of necessity system
attic one and is far more important, 1t
is claimed than the majority of the
people realize. In order to reach all
the avenues Of the matter it is claimed
that campaign Of education is neces-
sary first. The state board of con-
troll was given the responsibility of
carrying on the campaign by the last
legislature. 1T is however, confining
its attention to the human side of the
matter. The state board of agricul-
ture is making at this time an investi-
cation of tuberculosis among cattle
and hogs and on this information 1t
is expected to ask the legislature to
base some legislation designed to
stamp the disease out there.
Tuberculosis treatment is somewhat
new to Iowa and the physicians of
this state have not been educated for
its treatment. 1t is proposed to. awaken
their interest, instruct them and in
duce them to study the matter them
selves by having DR.. Kline deliver lee
lures in every city of the state. When
A. e.. Kepford invades a city to de-
liver a number of lectures to instruct
the people on the treatment, DR.. Kline
will follow at the proper time to ad-
dress the physicians. The city will
then be in condition to take up the
work on its own account.
After educating the public on the
treatment and necessity for the treat
ment 1T is proposed to see to it that
the treatment is taken and that all
persons afflicted are compelled to live
in sanitary conditions and adopt the
proper treatment.
1t is believed here that Julian Rich
ards will be in charge of the literary
bureau of the republican party in the
coming campaign, just as was fndi-
Gated before the state convention was
held at Waterloo. Mr.. Richards is be-
ing quoted as saying that he didn't
really want the place because his wife
expects him to travel for part of this
wear and that business will necessitate
at least one trip to California. 1t Is be-
lieved that if pressed to do so he Will
Progressives, however, seem disposed
to insist that people who can bolt so
easily should not at once be placed in
positions of trust Immediately upon
their attempt to return to the party
fold.
Whatever the state committee does
as to it's political writer it is under
stood that it is the intention to begin
the campaign early. This is in fact the
intention of both parties in this state.
This presidential year and it is
claimed that there is much work to do.
Soon after the democratic national
convention in Denver it is the intention
of members Of the republican commit
tee in this state to call meeting in
this city and discuss the campaign. AT
that time chief literature producer
will be appointed and it is the inten-
ton then to open the campaign in
August. Probably the first part OF
August. This will give the months of
August, September and October for
the campaign and politicians claim
that in a presidential year this will be
none too much There will be consider
able money to raise and it is admitted
on all sides that while Iowa is probably
safely republican yet it is not posi-
lively" republican. There is likely to be
no such a majority as Mckinley won
