KEOKUK FIGHT
ON BRIDGE TAX
Des Moines Register and Leader Gave
Space to it This Morning in
Fort Madison Special.

A special to the Des Moines Regis
ter and Leader from Fort Madison
about the fight between Keolsuk and
the rest of Lee county on the bridge
tax question says: A legal battle is
now being waged in the First district
courts over the question, Can city
which has been under special charter
allowing collection and expenditure OF
it's own bridge tax be compelled to
stand its share of the county bridge
tax when it goes under the commits
sion form OF government? The coun-
ty of Lee constitutes the entire judic.
ial district and although the filed pc.
tition reads 'Keokuk versus the
county treasurer" the opposing forces
are the city of Keokuls on the one
side and the rest of the county on the
other. Each one has a formidable
array of legal talent, prepared to fight
in the March term of the district
court at Keokuh presided over by
Judge Withrow of Mount Pleasant.
Lee county has two county seats
keokuk and Fort Madison, and nat
ufally an amiable tug of war is con
stantly in progress while the one
town endeayors to outrank the other
keoklik had several advantages by
being one of the few Iowa cities I'M
Ger special charters. One of these adj
vantages was the bridge tax privilege
or the exemption from payment OF
county bridge tax. urder which pro
vision it was able to keep its own few
bridges in excellent condition by a
diminutiye local bridge tax levy
while the other cities of the county
are compelled to donate to the coun
try where the condition of the land
IS such that every rain storm causes
untold damages.
Then Keokuk went under the com
mission form of government, and be
lieying that this did away with the
provisions of the old charter. the
county treasurer therenpon charged w
the residents of Keokuk with 4-mill
county bridge tax and his action was
passed upon by the board of super
visors, one of whom was a Keokuk
man.
The 4-mill levy would amount to
about $4,000 annually in the city Of
keokuk. This was quite a sum to be
drawn from city and for purposes
which it had not previously been call
cd upon to pay. So keokuk attor
neys hunted through the law and
found that paragraph 1056 A 10
Gode1 which says All laws governing
cities OF special charter shall apply tc
and govern cities organized under the
act which provided for commission
form of government With this and
other weapons the city of Keolull ask
ed for temporary injunction, re
straining the county treasurer from
collecting the 4-mill tax in Keokuk
The injunction was granted here at
the last term of court, Judge Ba.h
presiding. To make the injunction
permanent is the end sought for at
the present term at Keokuk.

CHANGES IN
COLLEGE ENTRANCE
Iowa State Board of Education Recos
nizes Broader Field of High

The State Board of Education has
not been slow to recognize that the
larger sphere of the High school is
to serve local needs, not to prepare
for college or university. A bulletin
now in the hands of the state printer
is about to be issued ps the board
setting out the new uniform standards
OF admission to the thee state edu-
cational institutions. So liberal are
these provisions that any community
able to maintain High school may
Offer its youth a sane. practical edu-
cation in subjects likely to prove OF
Teal value in the wurk-a-day world.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-03-16

with the assurance that the doors of
the higher institutions will not be
closed to any who desire to enter
Full credit is given to the traditional
courses in language, mathematics and
the like, but one equal footing are
found such subjects as agriculture,
manual training, domestic science,
drawing, stenography and commercial
branches
The bulletin will set out typical
courses of study modelled on this new
basis. In it will be found plans for
training rural teachers and many sug-
gestions for increasing the efficiency
of the High schools An important
feature of the bulletin is the plan for
accrediting High schools. The board
believes that the courses in the high.
Ell institutions should be continuous
with those in the secondary schools
Entrance upon college work is, there
fore, made as simple as possible. The
graduate of an accredited High school
presents certificate signed by the
principal. and. so far as his credits
meet the conditions of the course he
wishes to pursue, he is admitted with
out examination.
In these new and liberal regula
tons, adopted last fall, and now
ready for publication. the state board
believes the needs of the youth OF
Iowa will be met in fair and ration
al way. The bulletin will be sent tc
ievery school in the state as soon as
lit is released from the press

In fact learned professions In these
days or specialization and constant
development, as distinguished from
other occupations or trades. is mis-
nomer. Outside Of purely manual labor.
there ID no occupation today that does
not require a high degree of skill and

striking instance of changed conditions.
Il is fact that there lie still room

1t Is also true that the, top in them is
OF much smaller area than the top in
what may be called the industrial or
trade professions.
Prizes in material wealth are much
larger in those fields of activity which
are concerned with developing the un-
paralleled agricultural, industrial and
resources Of this country.
It is wonder that the old professions
still retain their drawing power.

ARRoR pAY.


Tomorrow is Arbor day in North Da-
kota~ II should be observed. There
have been many hundreds OF thousands
Of trees set out in North Dakota--but
there is room for many more.
Trees are easy to raise. They relieve
the barrenless condition that Is the one
Objectionable feature to prairie life.
Every piece Of property should be
surrounded by trees. City lots are
greatly improved in appearance by them
and farms are greatly enhanced in
attractiveness and value by trees
around the buildings and along the
roadways.
One Of the most cheerless sights is a
farm home entirely devoid Of trees or
ahrubbery. 1t looks forlorn and lone
some-as well as shiftless.
Il is great satisfaction to plant and
cultivate trees and see them grow into
splendid shade and protection.
Set out tree tomorrow. Better still
set out a lot of them.

SOY BEANS.

The Tennessee Experiment Station
has been making series Of tests of
soy, or sofa, beans to ascertain their
value as beef and milk producers. The
result is an emphatic victory for the
beans as contrasted with corn and COW
peas, used for the same purpose.
The result Is summarized thus: Two
acres OF corn fed four steers f1fty-four
days, two acres of COW peas fed them
hfty-four days, while two acres of soy
beans fed them eighty days. The total
gain in weight OF the steers when fed
on corn was 202 pounds, when fed on
COW peas $40 pounds, and when fed
on soy beans $40 pounds.
The average cost or feeding the corn
was cents per pound gained, COW peas
; cents. and soy beans cents.
These facts show that soy beans pos
sess nearly double the value OF COW
peasant three times the value OF corn
as a milk and beef producing food.
Innumerable reasons are given in
the report why soy beans should be
used for the purposes above mentioned.
Chief among these is that they are
usually cheaper for seed. They will
not be hurt By moderate frosts They
can be planted earlier in spring and
later In summer-making two crops
possible in one season on the same
land.
