See'y. by reclamation. but declined the
honor in favor of some member of the
club and Harry Lowther was elected to
the Office by reclamation. The chair
man appointed Harry Northup to wait

committee TO draft q set of bylaws to
be strictly lived up to subject to fine

there will be a swimming pool and
toboggan slide so that the Audubon

Of the club have already subscribed |
cash fund and the business houses will
be soliticed for funds so as to insure a |
good club for Audubon. Any business
man or firm wishing to donate a uni
form to the club can do so and same
will be kindly appreciated. The club
began practice this week. Other towns
around us have good attendance at their
ball games and also have good teams
and there is no reason why Audubon
should not have a good team with the
material at hand and the town should |
support it as other towns do. Let
everyone help the team out in finan-
,ial way.

THE SENATE PROPOSES
SPECIAL TAX COMMISSION
VIII Be Given Authority To Deter
mine Assessment Values On
Land And Personal
property.

A Bill has been introduced in the sem
ate at Des Moines by the Ways and
Means Committee of that bodyto create
{ a special tax commission to operate at
an annual expense of about $25, 600, to
supplant the executive council in fixing
I the taxable assessments in the state
This measure would give the power of
raising local assessments in the various
counties to this board. The measure is
born of the complaint that farm lands
are not assessed heavily enough. 1t
provides for the special tax commission
having the power to go into any county
and fix land and other personalproperty
values for assessment at what it believes
selling values and from their decision
there is no appeal. Those favoring the
bill claim that assessors will not fix the
values high enough because elected by
the people and that supervisors will not
increase the assessment for the same
reason, and that when the matter
reaches the Executive Council in Des
Moines they will not raise the values
because influenced by the same con-
seriousness that the people elect them
and they are the peoples servants.
This new bill by Spaudlingo of Grinnell
known as Senate File 1856, proposes to
create a bureau of three men to be APP
pointed by the Governor who shall have
absolute charge of assessments. Each
is to receive salary of 81, 500, per year.
The bill provides one shall serve until
July 1, 1918; one for term ending July
l, 1915; and the last for a term ending
July 1, 1917. Two of the commissioners
or majority cannot be changed for
four years. which provision makes the
board practically a perpetual one. The

The Main Tenet OF RepubIicanism.

In the address of Vice President Sher
man at the Republican dinner in Albany
February Is, there is gratifying assur
ance of the fact that among Republicans
in high places the essential qualities OF
sober sense, of sound political acumen
and OF loyal adherence to party princi-
and traditions have not altogether dis
appeared. Perhaps the remnant that
survives the present chaos and demora-
lization may prove to be sufficient to
leaven the whole mass and bring about
another rising of real Republication.
1t is to be hoped Mr. Sherman's words
carried with them more than ordinary
significance when he said:
We hear great deal in these days
about lnsurgent Republicans, if you
please. of Progressive Republicans, if
you please, but it is my belief that no
men or clique of men have the right to
arrogate to themselves all that is pro-
gressive in the Republican party. The
descriptive title of Republican requires
no prefix of that sort. There is no such
thing as Republican, except Repub-
lican-that's all.
believe that that Republicanism is
most stable and most effective for the
accomplishment of the highest good of
the American people that sticks most
firmly to the old lines; that the main
tenet of Republicanism is that Protec-
ton to American industries and labor
under which we have grown to be the
greatest nation in the world to-day.
(Applause) l am not ready to hug to
my bosom any form of Free-Trade in
any possible disguise F"
The Vice-President has not misstated
the main tenet of Republicanism,
Protection to American industries and
labor" Either Republicanism is that
or it is nothing. Exchange.

The EDITOR AT FORT DODGE.

Instead of going to Mexico last week
we decided to do the next best thing by
seeking refuge among the Insurgents
up at Fort Dodge where we attended a
meeting of the disseminators of local
gossip and promulgators of public opin-
ion of the northwest quarter of the
state. They call themselves editors and
meet about twice year to lay plans
for getting even with their customers
as well as their creditors. We found
that during an absence Of dozen years
many of our contemporaries have drop
ped out of business and some of them
out of life. A younger set in their places
are bright and cheerful. well fed and
well groomed. They stopped at the
most elegant hotel in tho state where
the cost of living runs pretty high even
for newspaper man. The Wahkonsa
hotel opened year ago has 1853 rooms,
the largest and finest Office we have
ever seen, and all other parts in the
most modern and up-to-date style. On
Thursday evening we had the pleas
ure of hearing an address by Hon. w. !
S. Kenyon, assistant attorney general of
the United States who spoke upon the
Sherman Antitrust law which the de-
partment of justice is making an ear
nest effort to enforce. Judge Kenyon,
as our readers well know. is the leading |
candidate for United States senator and |
he may be elected. He is at home on
the platform possessing a good voice
and pleasing personality. No one who
knows him questions his ability to
make a good senator Fort Dodge is
a fine little city of 1888 people &C.
cording to the last census. 1t is well
built, well paved and finely located. Fl,
Dodge has been political center for
many years, holding many important
positions, and for that reason they are
hanging tooth and nail to keep the place
Of senator which they have had for ten
years. We called to see Mr.. Russell in
his big store, double width and also
three or four stories high. Among the
clerks are the Misses Ella Farquhar and
Julia Preston of Audubon.

A Small Fire.

What might have proved serious
fire was avoided Thursday just after
noon by the quick action of the neigh
bors of E. O. Carlson. The grass on his
lawn took fire supposedly from spark
from the chimney and travelled rapidly
to the house setting fire to one of the
doors. The fire boys arrived at the
scene of the fire in good time to avoid
any danger, but the fire had been put
out by the neighbors. The house is
owned by Mrs. VIM. Layland.
