SALARY RAISE

 for All Dead Issues.

Patrolmen at $6O per month will get no New Year relief from the ely council in the matter of advanced pay rolls. The police sign the pay rolls i,r S7t, and get sr) in cash, al- tho lst the city is on cash basis.
 The ,na:ter of incraasIls the pay Of the officers, with tho prime object of inc. eas. .ng the general standard Of the lice force, was taxen mp in the council caucus yesterday afternoon.
 Se,era. aldermen be,,eved that the others should receive highsr wages for 12 hours work each day of eseven days week, but they met with an obstacle.
 The obstacle was the argument of the mayor, backed by the ;lnauce com- mittee. Of course the lack of f. nances was the only argument that could be offered against increasing ihe ray of inc patrplmen and while til eErgument did not wholly win the day, it secured a general postpone. rent.
 The question was referred to the finance committee, and a report is to be made at some later meeting of the city council The finance committee is the official morgue for all issues to be preserved ndefinitely-but pre- served.
 The report will probably he made at some extra meeting of the council this month. or may go over until Feb mary | Advocates of increased pay say they would be satisfied f the salaries were raised only s5 or si0 per month, but that they will do their best to revive the preserved corpse in the official mofgne until at feast favorable action is taken on it.

GOOD MANAGEMENT.

The good management of the coun-
tvs financial affairs that is assured
when there IS Republican board Of
supervisors is well illustrated by
the course pursued by a Republican
board following the disastrous storm
on the night OF June 9, 1905. Il will
be recalled that the storm in ques-
ton paralyzed railroad, telephone
and telegraph connections, washed
out bridges and destroyed crops and
property to the value of hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. The damage to
county bridges alone was so great
that over 100000 had to be expended
TO restore them to their original con-
dition
But the Republican board of super
visors in control of county affairs at
the time was fully equal to the emer-
gency. Within FIVE years one-half
the entire amount was paid off by
taxes, leaving approximately $4,000
outstanding in the form Of warrants
bearing interest at the rate of 5 per
cent. These we're taken up through
the sale of bonds bearing only per
cent, 5000 worth OF which are be-
ing redeemed each year. By 1920, I'M
der this arrangement, the entire
bridge debt occasioned by the storm
of five years ago will be wiped out
without imposing hardship upon any
ore The instance OF good financial
management here cited is not an iso-
lated one. 1t is simply one of many
which attest the wisdom of entrusting
the management of county affairs to
Republicans as members Of the board
I of supervisors.
The Republican nominees at the
coming election are Messrs. G. A.
Brinkmar and l. Hosier Mr. Brink
man was a member OF the board
which rebuilt the bridges of the coun-
+ y, and both gentlemen were impor.
/ tant factors in the good work of refund
+ ing the bridge debt at a lower rate Of
interest. They have demonstrated
their fitness as members OF the board
and t1eir worthincss to be continued
in that capacity. Both should be re
elected by good round majorities.

IOWA LAND MUCH BETTER.

Secretary. Simpson of the state
agricultural board, who is in position
TO know. says that Iowa people who
go into the much-advertised south
western country TO make a fortune in
a short time from over-estimated
land. do not always have a path of
roses. In a recent interview he stat
ed:
Every year when it is time for
our year book l get letters from them
asking for the book. They want to
use it in an effort to get more out
of the soil This year have letter
from a man in Oklahoma who writes
that for two seasons his corn crop has
failed for lack of rain, that he has TO
pay cash rent and has no corn to sell.
Maybe if these conditions were better
known people would not be in such a
hurry to rush out of the state; they
would not follow blindly some glitter
ing advertisements of fortunes made
in day from land that proves in the
end no better than Iowa land"
It is safe to say that a large ma
jority of those who left Iowa to set
tie on the cheaper lands in the south
west, northwest and in Canada would
have been better off if they had re-
manned at home. Not only are crops
more certain in Iowa, but the advance
in land values in this state in recent
years has added materially to the
wealth of Iowa land owners. Who
seeks a better farming state than
Iowa will go far and be disappointed
in the end

Opportunities or Missouri Soil.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: The
late David Rankin of Tarkio. No.
was one OF the famous farmers of lie
world. and what he achieved ii The
vocation that he actively followed all
his life has been frequently set forth
in newspaper articles. Beginning at
the age of p as the owner of a fe
acres in Illinois he made the most of
his land by good culture. rotatlol and

could afford it invested in praire
farms. He made money in his crops
and also by the increment In land

faculty in an unusual degree, removed

from s. to SO an acre increased IN
value several fold, but this was ONLY
an incidental and minor gain. At his
death he owned 1000 acres of farm.
ing land and his estate is estimated
at s3,5o0.000. His profits from farm
ing as shown from books methodical-
~ kept, reached as high as $4,000
a year.
In going on the soil it is not es-
sential to make money on this sea'e,
and few possess Mr.. Rankin's capao-
ity of agriculture on colossal ba-
sis. But he was a small farmer for
good many years and branched
out by process that had nothing to
do with speculative markets. He rails

to enrich his fields. and knew that
