STATE TAXES REDUCED.

The state executive council has an
nounced a reduction Of one-tenth Of a
mill in the state tax levy for the year
1911. This is the second reduction in
the state levy during Governor Car
rolls administration. When Cover
nor Carroll assumed office two years
ago the state levy was three and five
tenths mills. BY economical manage
ment of the states funds a reduction
Of one-tenth of mill was made pos
sible last year and similar reduc-
ton has been made this year, making
the new levy three and three-tenths
mills. The Des Moines Capital makes
the following comment on this tax re-
duction:
One-tenth of a mill reduction does
not sound very big, but when it is
taken into consideration that the en-
tire revenue of the states comes from
tax of a little over three mills it is

Ottumwa may have looked beautiful
during the Coal Palace days. but it is
destined to look no less than gorgeous

days of the state democratic conven-
ton and the monster picnic of the
Morrell people and Modern Woodmen.

blaze of glory at night and resemble
a huge American flag In the day time
Chairman J. w. Garner of the CON-
mittee on decorations says that OF

tors as an enthusiastic, live, up-to-the
minute town in the decorating and IL
Eliminating line at least, but that 1t
is necessary for all the merchants or
the city to decorate in order that the
enthusiasm will show in all spots in
stead of at intervals.
Everybody will be down town dur
ing the evenings of July 26, ~ and 2S
to see the gorgeous decorations, the
magnificent electional display and hear
the delightful music. :.
All places of business should
be brilliantly Illuminated and de-
corated on these three evenings in
honor of the city's guests attending
the state meeting of the democrats
and the big picnic of the lodgemen
and packing house employees These
will be the largest gatherings in this
line Ottumwa has ever entertained
and ali should do their best to welcome
them in q manner that will be credit
to the city.

seen that to reduce the levy n tenth
Of mill In each year Of a two.year
term means vast saving to the tax
payers Of the state. Last year when
the levy was reduced one-teneh Of a
mill and the taxpayers came to real
ize the saving which 1t meant to them,
they concluded that Iowa had q bust
ness man for governor In the chair.
Now this year, with another reduction
coming, they are convinced that the
present governor Of Iowa Is making
good his election promise to give the
state a clean, business-like anu eco
nomical administration.
This reduction was made possible
through the stoppage OF leaks In sew
eral departments, notable among them
being the pharmacy department. For
the biennial period ending June 80

many thousands Of dollars more than
the expenses. Other departments are

The balance in the general revenue

larger than for some years past and
much larger than it was at the end OF
the fiscal year just preceding Cover

tive chair. The state is out of debt,

CHAPTER VII.
And Neptune Takes Another.

Out Of onsideration for his com,
panions, Emerson did not acquaint
them with the evil tidings until tho
next morning; moreover, he was swal-
lowed up in black despair, and had no
heart left in him for any further exer-
ton. He had allowed the Russian to
show him to bed, upon which he
flung himself, half dressed, while the
others followed suit But he was too
tired to sleep. His nerves had been
filed to such fine edge that slumber
became a process which required long
hours of coaxing, during which he
tossed restlessly, q prey to those hid
eous nightmares that Turk on the bor-
derland Of dreams. His distorted mag
ination flung him again and again into
the agonizing maelstrom of the last
thirtysix hours, and in his waking mo,

haunted him. This was. no new appa-
rition, but never before had 1t APP

One Of the Chicago papers, com
menting on the unofficial census re-
turns, which give that city 2,l0O,Ooo
population, hopes that the S.OOO,oOO
club will not be too badly disappointed
over the showing. 1t says Chicago Is
so big that few hundred thousand
more or less would not make much
difference. Of far more Importance
than size, just now, it believes, are
good government, good order. cleanli-
ness and work of improvement. What
Chicago needs more than anything
else is held to be distinction in It's
buildings, it's parks, its boulevards and
in evidences everywhere that 1t is tax
ing care Of itself. The same may be said
of other cities, no matter what their
size It is more important that the
city may be made a real home 1or us
people, providing for their work ana
for their pleasures, than that 1t shouin
be given credit only with numerical
growth.

YOU CAN'T DOWN THE POETS.

you CAN'T DOWN THE POETS.
In an unguarded moment the editor
of the Burlington Hawk-Eye wrote this
little filler for the editorial page:
"The thanks Of the Hawk-Eye are
due and extended to the poets who
have NOT sent us poems on airships
besides, what word could you make
ryhme with aviation?"
In this mornings issue the Hawk
Eye is forced to acknowledge that it's
care-free utterance has brought forth
remonstrance from at least two mem
bers of the allied and undaunted order
of Humble Poets. One sent in the fol
lowing comment:

poses the reason is they can find no
word to rhyme Herewith. What's the
matter with alligator For instance:
AS they looked up from the lake and
saw the aviator,
1t scared all the fish, even the alli-
gator

barrels and put the Hawk-Eye to rout
with the following comment:

or "crow'' over the poets till you get

reply:
What could rhyme with aviator?
Why, you goose, there's alligator,
And again administrator,
Or an Irish agitator.
Caesar was a rare orator,
Lincoln, an emancipation,
Radium is radiator,
Cummins is a good debater,
Carroll culminator,
Cannon a prevaricator.
What about investigator?
Or foreign tongues translator?
Columbus was navigator,
Judas was an arrant traitor,
Loeb is confiscator.
What about an insulator?
Or a poultry incubator?
IF YOU want demonstration,
Burns can make common later
Rhyme in pat with Aviator"
