Letters From the People
FAvoRs OLD CITY HALL SITE


Editor The Call: What is a civic CEN
ter2 Is it central part of the city for
the different departments of the gov
ernment, or is 1t place in the city
where all the municipal offices can be
located together? If the civic center
means the first, then the present site is
as central as the proposed one at Mar
ket street and Van Ness avenue, being
only two blocks farther west; and il
1t is the second, then rne present site is
as large or larger than the proposed
site.
And 1t must not be forgotten that
right under the dome OF the present
hall there is a foundation of six feet
of solid concrete, which cost nearly
s1ro0o,00o, all ready for the new build
ing. The tax payers have paid that
Sl,000,0eO. Why make them pay for a
for a phrase civic center? The nAw
city hall could be built 200 feet square
right over that foundation, facing Mar
snail square, 10 stories high, contain
ing enough rooms for all the offices
and courts and leave ample room for
the auditorium and any other buildings
required by the municipality. Facing
Marshall square the hall would be in
full view from Market street, filing
the full width of the square AS a
citizen and tax payer I will object to
any protest against taking / 900 feet
front from Market street and turn
ing it into empty space and contracting
debt of from s3.O00000 to $4,000 900
while the city owns at the present time
the very best site of ample dimensions
that can be found in the city limits.
Under the circumstances and other de-
mands-water. gas. telephones and
street railways and publis utilities
the power of the city to issue bonds
should not be frittered away for things
not needed. In my opinion to go into
debt and blot out assessable property
amounting to s4.0o0.00o for a civic
center would be civic nonsense
Right here l would like to know:
Can private property be taken by force
OF law for site for a city hall while
the city already has site fully as good
or even better than the one to be pur-
chased?

A BLIND LEADER?

Senator CumminS, speaking as the
representative of the progressive
republicans, has declared war
against the Aldrich crowd. That
sounds good, but the articles Of war
do not go far enough. The senator
thinks that everything depends on
the personnel of the republican or
ganization. He is mistaken. The
organization is a means to an end.
Unless the new organization means
to do something for the relief Of the
people a change from an Aldrich
organization to Cummins organic
alton will mean nothing more than
a transfer of salaries from one crowd
to the other.
What does the Cummins organiza-
ton propose to do? Will it give us
free lumber and cheaper homes?
Will it give us free wool and cheap
er clothing? Will it reduce the cot
ton schedule and proceed with
reductions until a revenue basis is
reached?
If, after this winters experience,
Senator Cummins still insists that
the tariff must be reformed by those
who believe in using the taxing
M pOW0I lOI ILS pun pOoC VI ~ OCSCCluE
those interests which can secure the
ear Of congress he will prove blind
leader of the blind. Stlll the fact
that he wants to fight is good
sign. Even if he does not go far
enough to make his fight effective
he may encourage spirit of indie
pendence among republicans and
other republicans may go further
than he is now willing to go. An
other sign of weakness is his
eulogy of the president. He will
find the president with the Aldricl
republicans and he can not make
much headway-The Commoner

WANT GARRETT TO RUN.
Secretary of Board of Parole Mem
toned for Congress.

Des Moines, Ia.,Sept. "a delega-
ton of Eighth district politicians
have been in the city this week
mainly for the purpose Of inducing
B. w. Garrett, secretary of the state
board of parole, to reconsider his
determination not to be a candidate
for congress in the Eighth. Friends
of Mr.. Garrett visited him recently
and pledged their support if he
would enter the race. Mr.. Garrett S
homo is in Leon, Ia, where he lived
for many years. Mr.. Garrett told
them he could not consider the mat
ter. One of his reasons was that be-
ing domiciled in Des Moines at this
time he would be at disadvantage
in making campaign for the nomi-
nation against a person residing in
the district with time at his dis
posal. That it would practically
mean that he would have to resign
his position as secretary of the state
board of control, where the work is
to his liking and along lines he has
been following for some years.
This answer was not satisfactory
to his friends and this week another
delegation visited him with the in
tent of inducing him to change his
mind. Up to the present time Mr..
Garrett has not shown an inclination
to change his mind, however, and
the Eighth district situation is still in
doubt. There has been talk of
Judge Vermillion, of Appanoose
county, being candidate and he is
strong man. He at one time is
said to have entertained ambitions
along that line but at the present
time it is said by his friends that his
only ambition IS in the direction of
the supreme court.

HEPBURN VS.. ToWNER.

The political correspondent of the
NOnpareil at Des Moines writes a
letter to that paper in which he gives
"a very interesting account of the
situation in this district, as seen by
the Des Molnes politicians. The
probabilities, however, are that the
wire pullers up there are seeing
things that are not likely to become
visible to other people.
We are informed that Judge
Towner is recognized as the stand
pat candidate and the progressives
declare that he must announce him
self and burn his judgeship bridges
behind him if he enters the race.
If Towner decides to remain on the
bench, the progressives will settle on
Dan Turner, of Corning, and ii
Towner concludes to run the progres-
sives will run Hepburn against MIN
The article concludes as follows:
1.-THE fact is Colonel Hepburn has
never forgiven Towner for his defeat
and the election of Jameson, dem
ocrat. He charges it all TO Town

quite easily, but was defeated on
sNkOCtlOA ue1y Wy q SLhoAA NOIS. liz
believes that Towner and his stand
pat following were responsible for
it since the district is strongly repub-
lican. Hepburn's friends think
Towner desired to have Hepburn de-
feated at the election in order that
Towner could get the nomination in
1910.
But whatever the merits of the
contention between the friends of
Hepburn and Towner, the fact is
that the plans of the progressives
are made. They will not announce
any progressive candidate until
Towner announces himself either for
congress or for the judgeship. They
are laying their wires to get Towner
eliminated from the political field.
In the meantime every election, they
claim, strengthens their number.
Delay makes them better able to try
conclusions with him and the stand
pat element if it comes to that. If
he decides to remain on the bench
they will have candidate in the
field. If he decides to try for con-
gress they believe Colonel Hepburn
will be persuaded to become a can
didate and they are sure Hepburn
can defeat Towner for the nomina-
ton even if he shouldn't get the
election and the elimination of
Towner which is their chief desire,
would be accomplished.

The editor of The Reporter takes
personal pleasure in the fact that
Lon. H. Boydston, a former resi-
dent of Leon and newspaper man
of years of experience, is making
good with his Iowa service on the
Des Moines Daily News. Lon
crowds lots of good reading in his
Iowa News Nuggets and gives evil
dence that he maintains his repu-
tdtlon as first-class newspaper
man. The Reporter editor believes
also, that Lon is doing more or less
of the editorial writing for the Daily

quaintance we have of Ions versa
tile style in dishing up the "hot

eral reader. We wish Lon the sue
