TAX REFORM IN IOWA.

A speaker at mass meeting IN
Sioux CITY last week estimated that
not less than one million dollars OF
capital had been driven out of Wood
bury county by the activity OF the tax
ferrets. Estimates for other counties
are large. The tax on moneys and
credits is so heavy that few will pay
it except under compulsion. and those
who must or do pay suffer injustice
because the general evasion SUBJECTS
theirs TO the competition of untaxed
money. The tax rate in Iowa cities is
about forty per cent of the income
from a FIVE per cent mortgage. Inis
is eight or ten times the income tax
levied by European governments
whose subjects are sometimes men
toned as the victims OF burdensome
taxation. Noting these things the Du

Fully 95 per cent of our manu-
facturers and merchants have been

riers without any means of knowing
whether the charges are right or
wrong. 1t is entirely safe to figure that
at least per cent of the charges col

because OF the complications of the
tariffs. the ineff1ciency of agents. the
practice of rating high when in doubt

Hitherto the bureau at Des Moines
has served the business men of that
city exclusively. Henceforth it is pro-
posed that its services shall be avail
able to the business men of Iowa gen
orally. Commercial clubs and other
business mems organizations would
do we'll to get in touch with tn, bu-

SOME CORN HusklNe STORIES

Lewis county, Mo-. few miles
south of Keokuk, claims the cham
pion corn husker in this part OF the
Mississippi valley. His name is Jen
Jenkins. and in eleven hours on Tues
day last he "shucked" 163is bushels
of corn for A. V. McRoberts. The
corn was all weighed by the latter
at seventy pounds per bushel. There
were six loads.
Knox county, Mo-. also has some
rather speedy corn huskers. On sat
urday. November &c, on the authori-
tx OF the Edna Sentinel, six men
husked and cribbed $40 bushels and
% pounds of corn for Clark Thomas,
of Knox City, Mo-, an average o.
over ninety bushels for each man.
Earl Bone, aged seventeen years,
gathered and cribbed 11s bushels and
five pounds and was just seven hours
and thirty minutes husking same.
Nell Pruet, aged nineteen years, also
husked 104 bushels and ffty-fiye
pounds. Four of the above mentioned
men are twenty years of age. Rob
and Roy Bone, Twins. aged fifteen
years. husked and cribbed log bush
els and twenty-five pounds with one
wagon. The Sentinel reports further
that all the men we're in before night
and that nothing had been said about
an extra effort to be made by the
crowd that day. The corn was husk-
ed two miles from where cribbed.

And lay by your griefs and remorse.
For Love is beginning, fulfillment and

And breathes thro' the breath of the

It was decided at the recent con
ference Of charities and corrections
in Des Moines to ask the Legislature
to care adequately for epileptics, OF
whom there are said to be between
four and five thousand in the state.
The proposition most in favor is to
establish a colony on big farm and
erect a number OF cottages. There is
no doubt that many epileptics are

college of Idaho 8, Weiser 0.

In a hard fought game Weiser H;gb
school went down to defeat before tbo
strong team from the College of Ida
no last Saturday. 1t was the hardest
fought battle seen on Pleasant Tract
this year. The High school bows
hght1ng desperately, held their older
opponents at bay for three quarters
even carrying the war into the enc
myS country at times for considerable
gains. Then when the last quarter
was half over, Gowen, quarterback
Tor the College, returned a punt from
the middle OF the field, ll...nd strong
interference, around the Weiser team
and just along the side line for 4
touch down. 1t was the first time this
season that an opponent had crossed
Weiser's goal line.
The run was SO unexpected that
both teams were taken by surprise.
After the next kickoff, the College,
by forward passes carried the ball
near enough to Weiser's goal to put
over beautifully executed place kick,
and there the scoring ended, College
of Idaho 8, Weiser 0.
Weiser planned to play strong de
tenslve game, playing safe i'll their
own territory and only rcsorting to
trick plays in their opponents ter
ritory. They excelled the College on
straight football and punting, but
had few chances to use trick plays,
as during nearly all of the second
half they played a defensive game.
Their aim was to prevent the College
from scoring if possible. At times
Weiser gained consistently on
traight football, but the field was a
sea Of mud and the offense could not
get started Both teams longed
.or hard, dry field
The College team found Weiser's
License impregnable against straight
football, and resorted entirely to
trick plays and forward passes. They
often carried the ball down the field
on forward passes, only to have the
last one intercepted and the ball
ounted back. They had a varied
array Of classy trick plays and for
ward passes that they worked to good
advantage
The game throughout was fast and
aashing. Every man on each team
put forth his utmost effort, and the
best of spirit prevailed between the
two teams.-Weis Signal.

A CORRECTION.

In our last issue we stated that the
Methodist church and American Ma
tional bank were not a success as po-
litical influence. A couple of the di-
rectors of the American stated that we
were in error in that the American
National Bank was not in politics.
That while an officer may have been in
terested in politics, he was simply rep
resenting himself and not the bank. We
are glad to make this correction.
