CARROLL REDUCES TAXES.

Every republican taxpayer in
Iowa should cast his primary vote
for the denomination of Governor
B. F. Carroll. No official in the
executive chair has proven himself
more competent, more business like
or more efficient from a standpoint
of administrative economy than has
the present governor. During his
brief administration he has reduced
your tax levy, thereby saving the
people of the state several hundred
thousand dollars. In spite of that
deduction, Governor Carroll has, by
careful and economical administra-
ton, managed to create balance in
the state treasury of $1,209,000, the
largest surplus the state has known
in a great many years.
This condition has been brought
about by his careful administration
!. the affairs of the state. He has
ac led to business. He has not
useNk = Office for political ad-
vanceKZ and has insisted on AZ
careful eX ton of every office in
the state. III has disposed of Off
cials who hav> cen dilatory and
irregular in their .ficial duties and
has demanded everywhere an honest
and careful accounting to the peo-
pie of Iowa.
Why, under such record, he
should be deposed for political pur-
poses cannot be understood. He
should be granted his second term,
courtesy which has never been
denied any state official who has
asked for that recognition. The
people of Iowa believe in fair play
and the Rooseveltian theory of the
square deal" Governor Carroll
will be renominated.

PUBLIC OPINION
BUYS new HOME
One of the Best Corner Buildings
in DecOrah Becomes Our
Property.
IDEAL NEWSPAPER BUILDING
Shaw Building, Corner Water and
Court Streets, Opposite Post
Office and Grand Opera
House, Becomes Per-
nanent Home of
Public Opinion.

A nome Tor PuDllc OplnlOn! A
long cherished hope is about to be,
realized, and within a few weeks
Public Opinion will be housed in a
fine modern corner building pur-
chased for the purpose of providing
a permanent home for this paper.
Negotiations have been under
way for some little time for the
purchase by the editor of this paper
of the splendid brick building on
the corner of Water and Court
streets, opposite the Grand opera
house and the post Office. The
property was owned by Mr.. Alvin
Rollins, of Burr Oak township, and
the deal for the building was closed
on Monday. In the deal Mr.. Rol-
Inns gets the EDITORS building west
of the post Office, occupied by Boil
linger G Goltz.
We believe that in making this
purchase we have secured the best
remaining corner building in De-
corah. With the Ben Bear store,
the Citizens Savings Bank, the De-
corah State Bank, Mott & Co., and
the Grand Opera House owning the
buildings occupied by them, this is
the best location left, and we feel
fortunate in securing it. The building
is full two stories, with a splendid,
well lighted basement divided into
rooms which were formerly occu-
pied as living rooms by a family,
so that 1t is practically three
story building. With an abundance
of light on three sides, and four If
needed on part of the building, with
modern conveniences and equipment
such as will be installed, it will
make an ideal county newspaper
plant.
When we look back over the
years that we have been in Decorah,
our heart fills with gratitude to the
people of Winneshiek county. Not
many years ago we borrowed
$4,000 to buy a half interest in
this paper, which was then an in
significant, unhealthy youngster
fostered in a little rear alley room
in a side street building. A few
years later we bought out our part
ner's interest, gradually installed
modern and up-to-date machinery
and equipment, and in fact have
steadily advanced until we have a
plant which has few If any equals
in value among Iowa county week
lies. We have worked hard, We have
done our best, but all this would
have been without avail without the
assistance and the kindness Of the
people generally. We are going to
continue to show our appreciation
through renewed evorts to make a
better paper, and that is why we
are buying a home for this paper.
When we get settled in our new
location we want all our friends
from far and wide to come and see
us. You will be more than well
come.
