The Legislature Meets Monday.

The editor of the Sac County Sun
who is Willing away his time on the
coast of Florida in order to recuperate
from years of overwork has time to
figure out that: One hundred and fifty
eight MEMBERSHIP in the senate and
10S in the housewife make up the Iowa
legislature, which will meet on the 9th
day of January. There will be "a
Republicans in the senate and 20 in the
house; 16 Democrats in the senate and
3S in the house. On joint ballot the
Republicans will have 80 majority.
OF the so senators, 30 are natives of
Iowa; and of the l0S representative, 4S
are natives of this state. The youngest
senator is "a and the oldest senator is
20. The youngest representative is 26
and the oldest representative is 70. Six
members of each house have seen some
kind of military service. OF the sena-
tors, "A are married, 3 are widowers and
2 are single, OF the representatives, 95
are married, 8 are widowers and are
single.

THE DOLLIyER SUCCESSION.

AS the time for the meeting of the
general assembly approaches, the inter-
est in the Dolliver succession increases.
The progressives are very determined to
not permit Senator Young to remain;
and they are very much afraid the
standpatters may put up some scheme
to keep him there until the end of the
Dolliver term. At first the progressives
were strong for primary; but when
Senator Young and his friends declared
for primary the progressives turned
pale and began to hedge. The progress
sives are divided among themselves.
1t is said that Senator Cummins wants
III. w. Byers so as to block the way for
Walter /. Smith when Cummins will
bs candidate for second term. The
fellows in the north half of the state
insist they must have one senator and
there is good reason for the claim.
The easy and best way to do would be
to elect Senator Young for the unexpired
term of two years and then select a
candidate in 1912. But as they will not
agree to that, why not call a special
primary for June 2, which is the time
of year for the general primary. In
that case Senator Young would continue
to serve until the Iowa Legislature ad-
journs. From that time until the legis-
lature would meet and confirm the
action of the primary there would be
but one senator Cummins would be
willing to deal out the patronage and
do the other heavy stunts laid upon him
by such conditions. 1t seems that not
understanding the progressives have a
large majority in the legislature, they
are mortally afraid of the situation.

Time For Resolutions.

The Register and Leader discusses
the matter of New Years Resolutions
and swearing off, as follows
The time for swearing off and max
ing new resolutions Is not far away. 1t
is popular to make fun of the practice
and ridicule it, and yet life would be
rather unhappy and hopeless if men
were denied the renouncing of bad habits
and past errors and the setting up of
new resolves to do better another
year The world would be intolerable
if men were doomed to live always
with their mistakes and not allowed to
put them behind them and go on free of
them into the future.
So let men swear Off and make
new, resolutions. The practice makes
life endurable and it makes the world
happier, for even single day of bet
ter living is worth while and adds
something to the sum total of good in
the universe. No one should allow
himself to be weighted down through
the coming year with the mistakes of
the old year. Swear off, cut loose
from them, put them behind in the
past where they belong, and go into
the clean new year hopefully, cheer
fully and with confidence that it offers
fresh opportunity to make good.

The Bank Premiums.

The $40 90 cash award Offered by the
First National Bank of Extra was won
by Mr.. Frank Sunberg of Hamlin, and
The $1,000 cash offered by the First
National Bank of Audubon was won by
Mr.. Mahlon Boyd of Hamlin. These
prizes We're offered for the purpose of
stimulating greater interest in good seed
in this locality. In addition to the
many valuable prizes offered by the
Iowa Corn Growers Association at their
Eighth Annual Exposition and Contest
at the Coliseum in Des Moines in Dec
ember, these banks made the $1,000
additional offer to the farmers from
Audubon county who had on exhibition
at this corn show the best single and
ten ears of corn shown from this county
This offer helped to stimulate consider
able interest i'm our locality, and the
First National Bank of Extra and the
First National Bank of Audubon are
certainly to be commended upon their
interest in matters of this kind

The Chilly New Year.

January 1, 1911, arrived in a blizzard
Before that we had mere taste of
winter with but little snow and the
mercury down to zero only two or three
days. The fine weather continued
throughout the month and the year up
to and including last Saturday, Decem-
Der 81. But about the hour the bells
began to ring out the old and ring in
the new, the snow began to fall and
the wind began to blow SO that Sunday
and Monday we had something of a
blizzard. By Monday morning the
was down to ten below and by
Tuesday morning 1t was twenty or more
below We are now having genuine
cold winter weather verifying the old
saying that las the days begin to

Ashes In The Street.

A dispatch from Iowa Falls says war
on ashes in the streets or roadways has
been declared by the local automobile
club and from now on its members
will LAY for" offenders in this respect.
1t is claimed that the damage done to
automobile tires from this cause is
far in excess of any other one cause and
that in putting stop to this bad prac-
tice which dates from the time the city
was village that a big saving will be
secured to every automobile owner that
uses the streets. This practice is not
alone confined to this city and in many
towns and cities the custom of dumping
ashes in the streets is prevalent and re-
suits in the deposit of clinkers, glass
and other debris that plays havoc with
auto tires"
1t is time that something were done
here in Audubon to prevent the custom
of throwing ashes in the street.

EOUALIZING ASSESSMENTS.
In A Letter By John Lovelace To The
Register 6 Leader.

By looking oyer the report of the state
auditor, find that there is very wide
difference between the different COMMITTEES
as regards the way both real and per-
sonal property is assessed. For instance,
land is assessed in some counties at
about $24 per acre, i'm other counties
over $50: work horses in Chickasaw
S44. rs, in Louisa $ll6.10. In two adj
joining counties one assesses 2-year-old
colts at two times what the other does.
Colts year old are assessed in Cass
county at $24. 10. in Pottawattamie, the
adjoining county, S52. Some counties
lower than Cass and some higher than
Pottawattamie. The cattle are assessed
more irregular yet. In some counties
the 2-year- steers are assessed for less
than yearlings in the adjoining county.
Cattle in feeding are assessed in Clay
county at $3.50 per head and in Des
Moines county at S5l 40 per head. Swine
over 6 months old range from "a. IA per
head in Crawford (the greatest cattle
feeding county in the state) to $l0.S2
per head in Clayton county. These in
stances that have mentioned are Just
"a sample of the irregularities of the
assessment of this state. The same
thing occurs all the way through. Now
being an assessor myself, and very
much interested in the matter, send
you the general averages, hoping that
you will publish them so that every
assessor in the state may see them in
order that we may get little nearer
together the next time we assess. The
general average of land is 1890 per
acre; work horses, $,6.S4; colts, 2 years
old, 5000; colts, year old, .04;
cows, S23.5i; steers, 2 years old, $25.5S
steers, year old, $l7.23; heifers, 2 years
old, Sl7.63; heifers, 1 year old, $l2.54;
cattle in feeding, $33.57 hogs over 6
months old, S,.2s per head. These are
the most important matters. The
assessment of other property has to de-
pend largely on the Judgement of the
assessor. Each county auditor has the
report of the state auditor and il any
assessor wants any information along
this line he can find it in the Office of
his own county auditor.

Horse Thieves At Elk Horn.

Horse thieves have been at work in
the vicinity of Elk Horn. Saturday
evening week ago Gregor Gregerson,
who lives four miles west of that city,
lost three valuable horses from his barn
and there is no theory as to their
disappearance except that they were
stolen. The fence near the road was
found to have been cut and it is sup
posed that the thief took the horses
to Omaha with the intention of selling
them on the market there. The sher-
ifs of the counties nearby have been
notified and descriptions of the missing
animals sent out One horse is an iron
gray weighing l400 another a hight
bay about the same weight and the
other black weighing about 1860. Mr..
Gregerson and some of his neighbors
have been here comforting with Sheriff
Duval about the matter Atlantic

Talks.
HATRED IS WEAKNESS.
By EDWIN A. NYR.

Hatred is a costly luxury. Few Of
rs can afford to indulge it.
Without taking into account the
moral side Of it the indulgence Of an
Ill tempered feeling consumes a ire
mendous amount Of vitality, physical
and mental.
If you are busily employed In max
ing living-or life-you cannot af-
ford to harbor hatred against any
man. 1t will take all your time aud
energy to perform your legitimate task.
Some persons will vent their spleen
SO viciously as to make themselves
really Ill.
Hatred is weakness.
1t seldom Injuries the person against
whom the hatred is directed except
where there is resort to violence.
But the hater woefully Injuries him
self.
Hatred is force In which action
and reaction are not equal. The re-
action is manifold. The recoil is the
worst part of the explosion.
If you hate a man he has very great
ly the advantage of you, especially If
he is Indifferent to your hatred. He
has the power to make you miserable
by his very presence. He is able to
wound you at every turn.
If you want to turn over to your en-
envy the key to your life's happiness.
hate him.
Moreover. why should you hate a
mortal man or woman? You may not
like one personally or you may not
like his ways. But why fly into rage
about it?
Indifference is the better altitude.
Let your enemy go his way and you
go yours, or IL you cannot be indiffer-
ent let righteous scorn take its place
and be able to say:
Scorn 10 be scorned by
One whom scorn--
Is that q matter to make me fretf

Two Wonderful Months.

The year 1910 has furnished us two
months of wonderful weather March
was exceptionally fine, the remark
being heard very often that no one had
ever seen such beautiful March Now
comes December with a record that
probably has no equal The roads have
been in fine automobile order all the
month. There haye been no storms
and just little snow. The mercury
has run along from zero once or twice
to thirty or forty above. December
has given us wonderful weather And
putting March and December together
we think we have the old settler beaten
for any year in our history.

Editor Smith Dies At Scranton.

notice that his death occurred at his

parole board of the state. When the
resolution was offered to authorize
Goveror Shaw to spend $500, 900 if nee
essary in equipping the troops for the
war with Spain, Mr.. Smith made an
address to the legislature that stirred
that body to high pitch of enthusiasm
and elected many compliments.

Tax On Moneys And Credits.

A subject of some interest that will
come before the coming Legislature will
be that of repeating the tax on money
and credits. 1t is claimed that the
more liberal laws of other states are
driving Iowa money out of the state.
There is popular prejudice in favor of
taxing money and credits but in the
final round up, the borrower of money
really paws the tax. III money was
taxed five per cent no one could borrow
at five per cent So there is an argu-
ment on that side of the question, but
we do not see why all kinds of property
should not pay its equal share of
the tax
